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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiverside’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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofmusic.com.au\/amps\/\"\u003eamp\u003c\/a\u003e to places you never knew it could go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiverside’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFlexibility to adapt to any amp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDigital or analog?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe 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 maximise headroom while adding as much as 20dB of pure analog gain, with tight integration to the subsequent DSP gain stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSound Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom cascading multistage distortion topology provides a wide range of tube-inspired drive tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally controlled analog class A JFET input gain stage maximises headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analog gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision crafted DSP gain stages provide detailed complexity and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow gain channel for smooth classic overdrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh gain channel for modern saturated distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-band EQ with independent Bass, Middle and Treble controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable post-analog gain mid-band EQ push\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresence switch to tailor the sound for use with all amplifiers from dark to bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional variable-threshold noise reduction helps tame noisy guitar pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861374718140,"sku":"SN-RIVERSIDE","price":499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6599\/5196\/files\/Prod_5758_Orig_qjq1tl.jpg?v=1779760754","url":"https:\/\/worldofmusic.com.au\/products\/strymon-riverside-multistage-drive","provider":"World of Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
