Suhr Riot Distortion

The Suhr Riot, as its name playfully hints, is a high-gain distortion box that will make a small clean tube combo sound like a raging stack. We have heard many distortion boxes and were never quite satisfied with how they sounded or felt with a clean amp. We wanted the sonic characteristics of the distortion and the way the pedal reacted to your touch like a high-gain 100w tube head. After much testing, re-working, and re-builds of the Riot over a period of a year, we are finally satisfied with how it performs and sounds in real world music applications with pro musicians performing live or in the studio. The Riot will make you forget that you're playing through a pedal.

It works with the amp to deliver a big full sound that never sounds artificial or overly electronic. There are no bees-in-the-jar buzziness, harsh high-end or tubby lows that are often what you hear in high-gain distortion pedals. Again, a pedal is highly dependent on the amp it's connected to and how the amp is set, but the Riot will perform exceedingly well with virtually any decent tube amp out there - even with old vintage-style Blackface type of amps. Get musical distortion and an amp-like feel from the Riot. If you need alternative high-gain sounds without adding another amp, the Riot is the ticket to high-gain heaven in a small package.

The review wasn't even a review of the pedal. Considering this pedal comes from a small but high quality boutique company who just last year started to make pedal, the hard-to-come-by factor is understandable. The quality of this pedal is unsurpassed, and since these pedals became available in Nov 09, they were 400 units backordered. I finally got mines Tuesdays, and i can say from the moment i held it i knew it was gonna amaze me, you have to hear and play it yourself, Pete Thorn's demo and the other demo's are just a wisp of what this pedal can do. HIGH GAIN, but super tight bass, huge tonal range, 3 modes where you can find your sweet spot, you can dial it to an Overdrive settings, smooth and warm, and then even get amazing distorted leads, sustaining and ugh the tone is amazing. and it does what John Suhr claims, play it through any super clean amp TUBE, and you'll get a huge luscious whilst aggressive distortion. this is the distortion pedal that ends all distortions pedals to date, i dare make that statement!
