The Suhr Riot Black Edition is a high-performance distortion pedal designed to deliver a wide range of high-gain tones. Engineered to replicate the response and feel of a premium 100-watt tube amplifier, the Riot pedal can turn a clean amp into a powerful rock tone suitable for a variety of musical styles. Its versatile gain structure allows players to explore everything from classic crunch tones to aggressive, high-gain overdrive, making it a reliable tool for both rhythm and lead playing.
The Riot Black Edition features three primary controls: DIST, LEVEL, and TONE. The DIST knob adjusts the amount of gain, letting users achieve everything from a smooth, crunchy sound to intense distortion. The LEVEL control sets the output volume, ensuring that the pedal has enough headroom to drive the front end of any tube amp into natural overdrive. Meanwhile, the TONE control shapes the overall character of the sound, allowing for a broad tonal range from warm and smooth to bright and cutting, perfect for various musical genres and playing styles.
Equipped with a voicing switch with three positions, the Riot Black Edition offers further tonal flexibility. The left position produces a natural, organic tone that dynamically responds to your guitar's volume control, while the middle position delivers tight, high-gain sounds with a focused midrange and controlled low end. The right position offers a vintage high-gain response with excellent definition, ideal for players seeking clarity and punch in their distortion.
Additional features of the Riot Black Edition include true bypass via a relay, which ensures minimal signal degradation when the pedal is not engaged. This bypass also enables remote switching and includes a battery monitor feature that alerts users when the battery is running low. In case of insufficient battery voltage, the pedal automatically switches to true bypass to avoid malfunction. The FX Link connector allows for integration with external switches, pedal boards, or loop switchers, offering users greater control and flexibility in their setup.
With its wide tonal range, versatile features, and durable build, the Suhr Riot Black Edition is an excellent choice for guitarists seeking a reliable and high-quality distortion pedal. Whether you're performing live, recording, or practising, the Riot pedal provides the flexibility and reliability needed to enhance any rig.
