The Strymon Riverside Multistage Drive in the Limited Edition Midnight Black finish is a high-end, dynamically responsive overdrive designed to deliver everything from expressive low-gain warmth to saturated, harmonically rich distortion. Supplied with its original box and power adapter, this rare version combines boutique-grade sound design with a striking collector’s aesthetic.
Riverside’s architecture blends analog class-A JFET front-end circuitry with powerful DSP processing, creating an exceptionally touch-sensitive drive that reacts organically to your picking dynamics and guitar volume. Its main control set includes Drive, Level, Low, and High knobs, allowing precise tonal shaping across the full gain spectrum. A three-position Gain toggle tailors the clipping behavior from smooth low-gain breakup to tight mid-gain punch and high-gain saturation. The Favorite footswitch enables instant recall of a stored preset for quick transitions between two custom drive sounds.
Known for its clarity, articulation, and amp-like feel, the Riverside excels in front of clean amps as well as models and IR-based rigs. Whether used as a primary overdrive or a flexible gain-stacking tool, it offers a wide sonic palette suited to modern, expressive players.
