Cheapest 😀 Empire Guitars Strymon Riverside Multi-Stage Drive Pedal *Free Shipping In The US* ⭐

A new world of drive.

Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous
analog and vacuum tube circuits. Our goal? To deliver a new world of
harmonically rich, incredibly versatile, tube-inspired drive sounds. We
didn’t want to build just another distortion or overdrive. We knew we
must examine what has been done, and bring a new approach to the world
of drive sounds.

Discover your amp’s potential.

Riverside’s cascading gain stages create harmonically rich tones that
are immensely musical and natural—from silky clean overdrive to
colossal distortion, and all points between. Our analog JFET front-end
ensures that Riverside responds to your guitar with uncompromised
dynamics and feel. The precision crafted DSP generates dynamic
complexity and pleasing harmonics at every stage, letting your amp shine
at any gain level. Riverside takes your amp to places you never knew it
could go.

Infinite sweet spot.

Riverside’s continuously variable circuit tuning dynamically tweaks
multiple parameters under the hood so that the sweet spot follows you at
any gain setting. As you turn the Drive knob, Riverside makes
continuous adjustments, tuning the circuit for optimum tone. This
results in an incredibly versatile drive pedal that is equally capable
of providing sparking cleans, mild overdrives, high-gain leads, and
heavy saturated distortions.

Flexibility to adapt to any amp.

Your amp choice has a large influence on the sound of any drive pedal
connected to it. Riverside’s musical 3-band EQ, with independent Bass,
Middle and Treble knobs, is designed to complement your amp’s tone with
the flexibility needed to dial in your sound effectively and
efficiently.  The three-position Presence switch tailors the highest
frequencies, allowing Riverside to integrate perfectly with any amp or
setup, no matter how dark or bright.

Digital or analog? We chose both.

The first stage of Riverside’s custom multistage drive topology is
an all-analog, ultra low noise, discrete, class-A JFET circuit. This
gain stage is digitally controlled to maximize headroom while adding as
much as 20dB of pure analog gain, with tight integration to the
subsequent DSP gain stages.

With our hybrid approach you get the best of both analog and digital
worlds: The JFET stage provides exceptional touch sensitivity and
dynamic interaction with your guitar, while the
incredibly powerful SHARC DSP facilitates the great level of detailed
complexity and responsiveness you’ll want to hear.
