Eventide Riptide Univibe Distortion Pedal
The Eventide Riptide isn’t just another drive pedal—it’s a full-on creative tool that blends rich distortion with swirling Uni-Vibe modulation in one seriously flexible box. Whether you're chasing Hendrix-inspired textures or building modern ambient tones, Riptide gives you both worlds—and lets you control how they interact.
Run drive into vibe, vibe into drive, or switch it on the fly. Add stereo output, presets, and deep control options, and you’ve got a pedal that can go from simple to expansive without getting in your way.
Why This Pedal Works
- Combines distortion and Uni-Vibe modulation in one unit
- Two distinct drive voices: midrange crunch and smooth boosted overdrive
- Two vibe modes: classic Uni-Vibe and deeper, phase-heavy modulation
- Switchable signal path: Drive into Vibe or Vibe into Drive
- True stereo operation for wide, immersive sound
Built for Players
Riptide keeps things simple on the surface—three knobs for drive, three for vibe—so you can dial in tones quickly without menu diving. But underneath, there’s serious depth. Five onboard presets get you started, and you can expand and manage everything through Eventide’s software.
The feel is where it really shines. The drive responds to your touch, and the modulation adds movement without getting muddy. Whether you're stacking tones for leads or creating textures for recording, it stays musical and usable.
Flexible and Ready for Anything
- Stereo in/out for expanded rig setups
- MIDI and expression pedal control for live or studio use
- Multiple bypass options to suit your signal chain
- Works with guitar, synths, FX loops, and recording interfaces
