Brand New Strymon Riverside Multistage Drive

Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous analog and vacuum tube circuits. What was Strymon's goal? To deliver a new world of harmonically rich, incredibly versatile, tube-inspired drive sounds. They 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.

• Custom cascading multistage distortion topology provides a wide range of tube-inspired drive tones
• Digitally controlled analog class A JFET input gain stage maximizes headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analog gain
• Precision crafted DSP gain stages provide detailed complexity and responsiveness
• Low gain channel for smooth classic overdrive
• High gain channel for modern saturated distortion
• 3-band EQ with independent Bass, Middle and Treble controls
• Selectable post-analog gain mid-band EQ push
• Presence switch to tailor the sound for use with all amplifiers from dark to bright
• Optional variable-threshold noise reduction helps tame noisy guitar pickups
