For me the best thing about this pedal is that its tone is perfect to go into a mix. not to much ridiculous low or high end. just perfect for tweaking into a mix however you wish!
Rabea Massaad Pedal or medal? Nice review man :)
Rabea Massaad when do toska and dorje go on tour again?
Rabea Massaad very cool pedal indeed:)
Rabea Massaad Cool pedal indeed, but isnt it more of an overdrive? That tubescreamery thing where you can hear the clean signal underneath seams to apear in this pedal a little too.
Rabea Massaad...agree with you on fitting in the mix...its why I was always perplexed why treble boosters fell out of fashion as the inherent high-pass filtering of a treble booster always nicely removed all the junk and mush you dont want in your mix. and the inherent thickening of notes as you get higher in pitch up the neck with a treble booster also perfect compliments the "mix fitting" of the high-pass filtering of an treble booster....plus...dave gilmour, brian may, tony iommi, Glenn tipton, Ritchie blackmore, Rory Gallagher and Eric Clapton couldn't been wrong in their true "tone maven" days!! loving the new Toska stuff...really moving.
Rabea's First Born: "Daddy, why is my middle name Strymon?"
Rabea: Plugs in. "Listen to this..."
Bro you're shedding the pounds and shredding the guitar! Been watching for a few years now and I'm super happy to see all your success and good health.
Looking fucking good rabea, very well done
This is definitely the best review I have seen on this pedal! Cheers man, hope NAMM is treating you and the gang well!
Rabea deserves way more views than he gets on this channel. Really great clip, thanks!
Great video Man got this pedal from Andertons very mixed review on TH-cam a lot of people are turned of the riverside by the digital element of the pedal I have a couple of analogue drive pedals and have to say that this pedal is totally awesome great review. I love all your reviews keep doing what your doing happy new year from Ireland✌️🎸🇨🇮
Where's the other half of Rabea?
Zach Pfeif absorbed and recycled into Rebea Massaad +
He just lowered his "gain" and reduced his mids ... :-)
He's tightens up his bottom end too
(drops mic, walks off...)
Still sounds phat
Excellent demonstration! I very much enjoyed the detailed examples to what could be a very confusing task while shopping in your favorite music store. I’m pretty sure this demo helped sell what appears to be a finely designed product.
Thank you.
Rabea: Thanks for the video. Thorough and very well done. I have to agree with you that the Strymon Riverside is a very well executed overdrive pedal. I think you're right, the floating DSP processing is perhaps it's best feature. That said, it was my (close) second choice when it came time to purchase an overdrive pedal. I chose Blackstone Appliances MOSFET Overdrive. Different design, more primitive for sure. Better sonic/practical results for me.
GOOD, in depth review - easily the best that I`ve seen of the Riverside. What else needs to be said ?
how it's different to any other distortion pedal. you could say that.
Always good to hear you play Rabea. This sounds sooo much like the gain stages in the Fender Bassbreaker 15. Nicely done.
Loved you played a bit of Incubus there! I love the tone of this pedal, similar to my tone style of play.
Rabea, you are looking great! I love your demonstrations. Very detailed and meaningful.
Bea you're a completely different man on the outside! Crazy stuff. Fantastic review, really want one now!
Hey Rabea, I love your videos and your playing! It's always a pleasure to watch your demos mostly for what you can get off those guitars. Best tones and mid range. I'm a student now, but one day.. that Kraken will be mine! :D
Keep doing great job man!
A certain shade of green by incubus at 12:19 I can appreciate that
I was sold when you broke out a certain shade of green 👌🏻👌🏻
Would be interesting to see the Comprade boost used in combination to the Riverside.
I went completely digit but if I had a pedal board it would be all Strymon including this Riverside pedal, Mobius, Timeline and Big Sky. I think that would be my dream board. I'll be moving to either a Kemper or Helix though. Nice tone Bea, most pedal demo's is all high and mids. This tone is fat and thumps which I like.
Fantastic playing as always! :) I really enjoyed the review!
And congratulation on your weight loss man! I'm on a same path and I know the struggle. Keep it up, looking awesome!
Rabea, you're great. Also, "does is djent" has become a joke with the other member of my band. It's great.
Edit: I'm also flying over to the UK to steal your PRS. Just be warned. :P
I think the Riverside is a cool concept but it's never been the sound I am looking for. Honestly this video got the best sounds out of it I've seen so far. It might just be the prs and the victory doing it justice. Good review though! I would just rather have a few analog drives that each do their own thing rather than a riverside that is trying to do it all. Just me though.
very good review. while its always a bit like looking at a painting through a keyhole when it comes to appreciating what a pedal really sounds like via youtube videos, at least with rab you get a decent comprehensive impression of the pedal's options and tones and also a minimum amount of needless off topic banter and chatter to boot!. kudos.
cheers man! I appreciate that, I guess my main priority with my demos is to give you the clearest and most transparent audio quality that I can.
Hey Rabea, i was looking to buy this pedal....this review made me decide to get the shit out of this box. Thanks for your videos and great knowledge! Cheers from Argentina.
And with 300 user presets you can a few sounds with every guitar
Thanks. How does tis compare to the Sunset?
Bea you look amazing! So inspirational! Keep up the great work!
my pleasure rabea. just thinking here would it be worthwhile doing a follow up video on how the riverside interacts with an amp when its has some gain or crunch dialed in?
Almost bought this pedal ended up with the Friedman. Loving the Friedman so much
Friedman be od?
Going to use this with my prophet 10 synth along with a big sky, Mobius, and time line.
Great review by the way.
Bea omfg! U looks amazing mate! Have a nice day and stay awsome :)
How would you compare this pedal to a Stryman Sunset? A Sunset came highly recommended to me.
Great demo Bea - very comprehensive.
Thanks for doing this review, Rabea. It sounds fantastic! I have been using the Analog Man King of Tone and I think I like the Riverside more after hearing you demo the pedal. Are you familiar with the King of Tone and if so do you like the Riverside more?
Very good review !..... But you should've maxed the EQ like the manual, and adjusted the level for DJENT,....ROCK ON !
Bea, will Toska merch get re-stocked anytime soon? I'd love to get the hoodie but its sold out
hey man, we will be restocking very soon. I'll be making it known to all interested as and when!
Rabea Massaad awesome, thanks!
ward
Looking in good shape Bea!
Hi Rabea, thanks for this demo!! And what about something like your Big Sky's series, but is time for Time Line? There are a lot of videos about TimeLine, but no one with (your) rock attitude!!!
Great video. Great pedal. Great Caesar's Ghost you've lost some weight! Looking good brother. Well done sir!
Sounds massive. Gonna buy one. :)
I want one. First saw it wirh Chappers & the Captain in the head vs tread this afternoon! I am also going to hunt for more of that monster prototype guitar, see if you got anything more of that...
Great video as always man. This pedal sounds great. Do you reckon you'd use it live?
it sounds Amazing...I like too this effect
Wow man, you've lost so much weight! Well done mate, looking great! Great demo
Do I need another drive pedal, well I didn't think I did but this sounds immense, great review.
Bea, can I ask with regard to the favourite function, can you set a louder sound with the master volume, save it, then play rhythm with a slightly lower volume, then when it comes to lead, activate favourite and the volume goes up? Thanks
Hi Lee, I bought the pedal a week ago.
Answering your question, yes, you can. You can save all settings (toggle switches positions included) within favorite preset
18:32 YOU DIRTY MAN
Jaagg hahah cheers dude, it's a bugger but when you nail it, it feels good :)
Still keen to know when that beast of a baritone comes out!?!
Just like me, it looks as though you have lost some weight! Great job bro! This pedal sounds nice and I like the variations. It's a nice addition to my amps generated tube gain. Also, the programmability is VERY helpful! Thanx for the excellent demo!
you're welcome dude, thanks for the feedback and kind words!
looking real fit man. Great job dude!
Crazy that amp is still edge of break up at that level. Not a ton of headroom for a texas drive circuit
Dude, you've lost so much weight you're ALL fro now. Good on you brotherman!
Great review!
Pretty awesome sound!
What strap is that Rabea? great sounds!
how do you get away with playing so loud in your flat/house? Teach me! :)

Even here?
Ok, either you are stalking me, or I'm stalking you :)
Hey Bea, great review man. Hope Hannah is feeling better. By the way, is Rob the first member of the clan to have children (besides Lee)and are you looking forward to being uncle Rabea? All the best in the new year to you and yours....
larrimo s cheers man! Yeah besides Lee, Rob is the first, be I guess seeing as he's a lot older than us, it's right for him! I'm really excited actually because I'm going to be a godfather!
Rabea Massaad wow! What an honour. Congratulations Bea. I know you will be a great tutor and friend to young chapman.I hope the move is going well brother....I always hated moving, even if it is just downstairs.
I don't understand one thing: you've been talking about dac codec sampling rate. If it's analog pedal with digital only controlling it, there shouldn't be any digital to audio conversion involved, should be?
The first gain stage is a digitally controlled analog JFET circuit, the rest of the gain staging is through a DSP.
Cam cuts out when the best riffs are coming, great video!
+Miguel Vivo couldn't believe when I was editing the video after!
Had to keep it in!
Sick pedal, and that tat man. didnt know you got it done. looks real nice.
dobby240 cheers bro, had a few bits on my arm but had it all tied together within 2 months so it's a lot of work done. Got another session in Feb so looking forward to getting it finished
Yeah fair man Looks real good, might I add you look like you've lost a shit load of weight you look good dude. Also that pedal is pretty sick. thanks for the video's man.
Rabea lookin good bud! Loox like you been dropping some lbs! or Stones i guess in England.... anyway cheers for the hard work!
I use mainly amp gain but I do use a Fulltone GT-500. I know it's subjective but do you have any opinion on this pedal? I'm just curious as to how "far" or "close" I am to what the general consensus is! Thanx
Very comprehensive review, thank you. And it's nice to hear your new PRS being given an outing ;-)
I quite liked the pedal, though I have a random question. What's the point of having a strap with a clip on it? Like, I imagine it's to take the strap off quicker but is taking a strap off normally that hard..? Is it for something else?
DasOmen02 the clip is a lock a think, keeps the strap from popping off and dropping the guitar
Lookin a couple stones less gravity friendly.....nice
This pedal looks to me like a knock off Bogner LeGrange......can you do a shoot out of both side by side??
whats the tune @32:12? Or are you just flexing your muscle? So sick

Hi Bea, sorry to make it sound like you're a 1-trick pony, but could you see how this plays with a 6l6 kraken? I've been looking for a drive pedal for when I play a low-gain set or tighten up my tone. If not this, what you recommend?
Sebaileyus maxon od808 as a clean boost. can't go wrong with that pedal
hey Rabae can you use the riverside and get the volume low enough with it to play bedroom level. I have a Marshall origin 20 combo and i like it but to get a descent saturation i have to get the volume up and the gain up...its ok at the 0.5 watt more but you do lose something there. At 20 watts its plenty loud but not enough gain...looking for more saturation and be able to keep it at a manageable level. Strymon pedals rule and so do your reviews. Cheers mate...
I use the same setup except my Origin is the head version
You'll do fine, the Riverside has plenty of saturation
Bea you are looking good mate! Body transformation I see!
Riverside or sunset ? Thanks
I've had a Riverside, Sunset and Big Sky unit for a while now. Strymon effects are so well done and offer many sound variations - all cool and great sounding. Congratulations on your weight loss. I would imagine it's opened up a new problem for you however...fighting off babes. Turns out there was a real good looking dude under there. Thanks for your videos.
What is the cab/speaker are you using in the torpedo?
Looking good man cheers from brazil =)
How do you think this pedal would sound paired with a solid state amp? Something like a Peavey Vypyr or Line 6 Spider?
I already use a good amp for the tone I want, was just a question out of curiosity.
Probably pretty brittle. Honestly the reason I think this sounded extra good is because of the amp it's running into really helped it out. Something inherently warm like a classic Marshall (Sheriff 22) takes this pretty well.
you working out, my man. looking good and slim.
Lookin lean and mean Rabea. Just dont lose the chunkiness in your riffage.
What PRS range is that?
Awesome, but you’ve not told us about that cool new tattoo.
Are we gonna get any more sounds like on the andertons channel?
+The Inebrati yeah man, but Christmas and all, plus NAMM coverage is taking over the ATV channel so will be back on in Feb
***** Thank god. Great work BTW.
Daaaaaamn son that's a tasty little box of goodness.
This is the coherent and informative review I’ve heard on the Strymon Sunset. I will be buying one! Thank you for this!
This is the Riverside, Dick4Brainz.
just a curious question, have your tatoos been affected in any way by your recent weightloss?
+Gard Høydahl good question. The short answer is no, because I choose designs that aren't dependant on physique to look acceptable!
Ahh interesting, thanks for the answer!
Hey! You look good man!
A certain shade of green...
Bea's doctor is happier now :)
Jaume Casanova Doctor's aren't a fan of the vegan diet.
Puts them and drug co. outta business. :-)
I dunno - to my ear it makes those incredible guitars and amp sound flat and a bit lifeless. The reverb added more character than the pedal...
that incubus riff though
1) nice ink work, man!
2) where is rabea, you impostor?!?
INCUBUS LIFE!!!!!!!!! 12:18
I just can't let go off this pedal on my board.
whats up bea
You so fitness man! Great :v
Holy s#&T ! Sounds so much like a amp.
Rebea how have you lost so much weight you look good
Nice tattoo man!
Ö 18:32
