Riverside Drive & Distortion
By Strymon
A tube-inspired drive pedal spanning silky clean overdrive to heavy saturated distortion, with a 3-band EQ and continuously variable gain tuning.
About this pedal
Riverside cascades an analog JFET front end into precision DSP gain stages that continuously retune themselves as you turn the Drive knob, keeping the tone dialed-in across the entire gain range instead of just at one sweet spot. A 3-band EQ with independent Bass, Middle, and Treble controls plus a 3-position Presence switch let it adapt to any amp, from clean push to colossal distortion.
