➊ STRYMON UNVEILS ITS FIRST
DRIVE PEDAL: THE RIVERSIDE
Strymon’s newest offering goes back to
the company’s roots, as the Riverside
is a multi-stage drive pedal with a
plethora of options. Featuring a full and
generous three-band EQ circuit as well
as gain stage selection, a unique “Push”
section, and an option to save a preset
using the Favorite switch, the Riverside
is capable of replacing an entire dirt
section and looking good doing it.

➋ JETTER GEAR DELIVERS
UNTO US THE GRISSOM
SIGNATURE PEDAL
Jetter’s collaboration with David Grissom is a
dirt pedal that’s been engineered to remain
tight in the lower registers while letting the
higher frequencies breath a bit. The result is
a dirt pedal that excels at “edge of breakup”
tones at any setting. And at higher Drive
settings, the Grissom cuts the compression
and oozes harmonics, which are only
enhanced by the Contour knob.

SEIZES THE THRONE WITH THE
CROWN
The Crown is a British-style overdrive that is
built around cascading JFET stages which
feed the next stage in line with molten
gain, which reacts with your playing just
like a real amp. The guts of the Crown are
engineered much like the British amps of
yore with amp-style point-to-point hand
wiring and primo components worthy of
the jewels it’s named for.
