Riverside adalah puncak dari analisis menyeluruh terhadap berbagai rangkaian tabung analog dan vakum. Apa tujuan Strymon? Tentu saja untuk menghadirkan dunia baru suara drive yang kaya secara harmony, sangat fleksibel, dan terinspirasi dari tabung. Strymon tidak ingin membuat distorsi atau overdrive lagi. Strymon tahu mereka harus mengevaluasi apa yang telah dilakukan, dan membawa pendekatan baru ke dunia suara drive.

Fitur-fiturnya:

• Custom cascading multistage distortion topology provides a wide range of tube-inspired drive tones
• Digitally controlled analogue class A JFET input gain stage maximizes headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analogue 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-analogue 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
• High-impedance mono input
• Mono output
• Favourite footswitch to save a favourite setting
• Favourite Input to connect an external MiniSwitch to recall a Favorite preset
• Expression pedal input allows the connection an expression pedal for simultaneous morphing control over multiple parameters (Expression mode), or logarithmic taper for smooth volume control (Volume mode)
• MIDI accessible via Expression jack for remote parameter control and access to 300 preset locations
• Boost pedal input allows connection of an external footswitch for up to +6dB of analogue boost, or to toggle the Favorite preset on other Strymon pedals (Favorite Out mode)
