Strymon Riverside Multistage Drive Effect Pedal

The Strymon Riverside multistage drive pedal brings professional-grade tone shaping to your pedalboard with its comprehensive three-band EQ system. Independent bass, middle and treble controls provide flexible tone construction, while the three-position presence switch helps you achieve optimal frequency integration with your performance setup. This pedal is designed to complement your amp’s natural tone rather than mask it.

Built with a hybrid approach combining JFET and DSP gain stages, the Riverside maximises headroom whilst adding up to 20 decibels of pure analogue gain. This digital and analogue combination allows you to tailor the drive pedal’s sound to match any music style, from dark to bright tones, while maximising your amp’s performance across all gain levels.

Touch sensitivity remains exceptional throughout the pedal’s range, translating the nuances of your guitar playing with dynamic clarity and responsiveness. Smooth-turning drive and level knobs work alongside gain and push switches for precise adjustments, while the save and recall function lets you lock in your favourite settings for quick transitions between sound profiles from track to track.
