The Guitar Channel - Passion Amplifier show

Summary: <br> Until now <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tag/strymon">Strymon</a> proposed mainly pedals in the delay and modulation field, with the Riverside they are now getting in the overdrive business. The layout is the familiar one already used on the <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/2014/12/review-strymon-flint-reverbtremolo-pedal/">Flint</a>, <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/2014/12/review-strymon-flint-reverbtremolo-pedal/">reviewed in this article</a>, with its double foot switch.<br> Riverside Strymon overdrive pedal video review<br> Audio version of the review available in the <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tgcpodcast/">podcast</a>: <br> <br> What I enjoyed the most<br> <br> * Manufacturing quality always at the top in Strymon<br> * The variety of sounds<br> * The favorite function for two sounds at the tip of the foot<br> * The interface very well thought out<br> * The ability to control the drive level with an expression pedal<br> <br> What I enjoyed the least<br> <br> * Maybe a slight lack of personality<br> <br> Conclusion<br> Strymon makes a powerful entry into the super congested area of the overdrive pedal. They bring their know-how for a very convincing result. One may just reproach this pedal for a slight lack of personality, although all this is so subjective that it is very relative. The Riverside is able to cover a LOT of grounds and is a true tone powerhouse!<br> Until the next <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tag/gear/">gear review</a>, keep on playing the guitar!<br> Pierre.<br> <br>
