The Strymon Riverside Multistage Drive is a versatile and expressive overdrive/distortion pedal designed to deliver everything from warm low-gain breakup to rich, saturated high-gain tones. Using a unique mix of analog signal path and powerful digital control, the Riverside adapts to your playing dynamics, gear, and style—offering unmatched tonal flexibility for any guitar effects setup.
The Riverside is the definition of a “desert island” drive pedal. It can be an always-on tone enhancer, a crunchy rhythm machine, or a full-on lead drive with sustain and clarity. Its dynamic feel responds beautifully to picking attack and volume-knob changes, making it incredibly expressive. Pair it with other Strymon pedals for a premium gain and ambience setup.
