Strymon Riverside

Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous analog and vacuum tube circuits. Strymon set as a 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. They knew they must examine what has been done, and bring a new approach to the world of drive sounds.

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. Their analog JFET front-end ensures that Riverside responds to your guitar with uncompromised dynamics and feel.
