Suhr Riot Black Edition Distortion Effects Pedal

The Suhr Riot Black Edition Distortion pedal delivers the tone and responsiveness of a high-quality tube amplifier in a compact stompbox. With a versatile range of gain and an intuitive three-band EQ, the Riot provides everything from classic rock crunch to modern high-gain distortion.

High-Gain Distortion Engine

At the heart of the Riot is a distortion circuit that produces rich, saturated overdrive reminiscent of a cranked 100W tube amp. The Distortion knob offers gain in stages, taking you from a hint of breakup to thick, sustaining distortion. The Voicing switch shapes the overall tone, providing a tight, aggressive sound, an open vintage tone or a balanced modern distortion.

Sculpt Your Sound

Shape your distortion tone using the Riot's intuitive three-band EQ. The Tone knob adjusts high frequencies to cut through or darken your sound. The Level knob controls the Riot's output to push your amp into natural overdrive or to boost volume. With this level of tone-crafting at your feet, the Riot provides the versatility needed for any style of music.

Roadworthy and Responsive

The Riot is built to withstand the rigors of touring and performance. Its die-cast enclosure is nearly indestructible and high-quality parts ensure years of reliable use. The Riot also features a low-battery indicator to avoid unexpected power loss. Most importantly, the Riot's distortion reacts dynamically to your guitar's volume knob and playing dynamics, allowing a range of tones from a single pedal.

Flexible Connectivity

The Riot includes useful connectivity for integrating into complex rigs. Its FX Link jack allows the Riot to be activated from an external source like a loop switcher. The jack can also be used to power on the Riot remotely. With rugged build, responsive tone and smart design, the Suhr Riot Black Edition Distortion pedal is a must-have for any serious guitarist.
