Suhr Riot Reloaded Distortion Pedal

Get An Unleashed Version Of Suhr’s Renowned Original Distortion Circuit – The Suhr Riot Reloaded Distortion Pedal

In 2009, Suhr shipped their very first Riot distortion pedal. Riot became an overnight success, offering players the ability to transform a clean amp into a versatile Classic Rock tone machine.

Riot Reloaded is the result of countless hours of listening, testing, and tweaking Suhr’s original distortion circuit to create a pedal that is amp-like, aggressive, in your face, and features more gain (30% more than the original Riot).

An excellent companion to the original Riot, Riot Reloaded is a versatile distortion pedal that delivers a broad spectrum of Hi-Gain tones, with an amp-like feel, in a compact stompbox.

30% MORE GAIN

With 30% more gain than the original, Riot Reloaded is the ideal choice for players seeking Hi-Gain Rock, Metal, and drop tuning style tones.

AMP-LIKE PERFORMANCE

Riot Reloaded responds dynamically to every nuance of your playing, just like the overdrive channel of a modded amplifier. With a simple twist of your volume knob, you can easily morph from mild chunk to full on metal assault.

GAIN TO SPARE

Riot Reloaded offers over 30% more gain than the original Riot. Suhr’s engineers balanced the dual gain stages to increase saturation and upper harmonics, resulting in improved midrange articulation, more sustain, and a tighter three-dimensional sound.

YOUR TONE, YOUR CHOICE

The tone control was modified to emphasize upper mid frequencies for a sweeter, more cutting tone, without sounding harsh or fatiguing.

The versatile three position voicing switch provides Classic, Modern (Full bodied), and Scooped EQ settings.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

True Bypass: Riot is true bypass via a relay. This function allows for the remote switching, and the battery monitor feature. The relay produces less popping when switching the pedal on and off.

FX Link: The FX Link connector allows the pedal’s switching function to be controlled from an external switch, pedal board, loop switcher, or any other custom interface. FX Link also provides the ability to power up in the On/Off state.

Low Battery Monitor: Riot incorporates a unique battery monitor that alerts the user to low battery conditions. In addition, the battery monitor will automatically switch the pedal to True Bypass if the battery voltage is too low for the circuitry to correctly operate.
