- Multistage Drive
Technology Overview – Multistage Drive Topology
STAGE TWO, THREE AND FOUR: Tube-Inspired DSP Gain Stages
Our analysis of tube gain circuits has resulted in a wide-band series
of cascading gain stages that are detailed, rich and full of complex
harmonics. At each stage, more harmonics are generated and the
signal dynamically evolves as the inter-stage circuitry optimally
conditions the response for the following stage.
that is equally comfortable providing sparking clean and mildly-
overdriven tones, to high-gain lead and heavily saturated distortion.
Controls and Connections – Controls
3-BAND EQ
Riverside's 3 band EQ, with
independent Bass, Middle and
Treble knobs, is designed to
complement your amp's tone
with the flexibility needed to dial
in your sound effectively and
efficiently. The controls are post-
drive, meaning they effectively
sculpt and shape the harmonics
generated in Riverside's gain
stages.
VARIABLE CIRCUIT TUNING
Riverside's continuously variable circuit
tuning dynamically tweaks multiple
parameters as you adjust the Drive,
optimizing the signal path to sit in the
'sweet spot' at any gain setting. This
results in a super-versatile drive pedal
