Members jrockbridge Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I just got my Suhr Riot pedal today. It lives up to the hype. It turns a clean tube amp into a high gain tone machine. Even with an amp set at low volume, it sounds very good. It doesn't sound like a typical pedal. It sounds like a high gain amp. This pedal has so much gain that I could not imagine ever turning the pedal above noon. But, then again, I'm more of a mild gain fan. When I was a noob, I bought a Metal Zone MT-2. I had fun with it, but I became aware that it sounded artificial and not the least bit transparent. So, I sold it. But, I promised myself I'd get another Metal voiced pedal if I ever found one that sounded real. This is it! So far, I tested the Riot through a Blackheart Little Giant mini stack with amp set clean, volume low and in 3 watt mode. I also tested it through a Valvetech Amplifier Company Hayseed 15 Head set clean > Dr Z Airbrake attenuator > Celestion Alnico Blue 112 cab. It sounded great through both setups.

Members CoqBelliqueux Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 So you're saying it's better than a Metal Zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted May 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 So you're saying it's better than a Metal Zone? Yeah. Shocker! The quality of the Suhr Riot pedal is along the lines of an Analogman King Of Tone dual OD. But, the Riot is a completely different animal. I just compared an apple to an orange....happy?

Members dres_x Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 anyone know how this would sound going into a modelling amp? (more specifically a vox VT series) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peavey_impact Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'd love to check out the Riot. It sounds ridiculously good at whisper volumes in this vid (andy wood on the axe might have a little to do with that though) j4VH-KsAoew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
