Nice breakdown! Very much appreciated! I ended up getting the Xbox version and I like it a lot. I actually like how QUIET it is compared to my Guitar Hero guitars and especially my modded ones. I didn't think I would appreciate that as much as I do. And you're right, the placement of the select button isn't great, so I ended up mapping star power to a direction on the analogue stick in Clone Hero. Just makes it a little easier that way.
You're extremely good at the game. Great skill. Just ordered the Xbox/PC version to play clone hero again. After seeing you shred I'm confident that I will enjoy it. Great review
Lemme know if you figure out how to assign tilt to star power AND get it to work-I know you can (even though the PS guitars can’t) because I keep finding people who said they could do it, but no one will tell me how they just keep saying “you have to calibrate” and I really feel that I have done this
Nice to see all the complaints about this guitar are like ultimate elitist things that won't bother most people! I'm excited to get mine later on today!
Just got mine and loving it on rockband 4. Is it easy to set up for clone hero? I've never played it so just curious if it's easy to set up. I have the xbox version btw
I was asleep half the day :'( From what I've heard, the PlayStation one doesn't have whammy or tilt on PC, but it's possible that it was fixed and I just haven't seen it. Both hardware wise are probably identical if I had to guess!!
@@andrewsrgt4879 I also heard the dualsense controller needs to be on at the same time if using with PS5 which can be annoying too. Does the Xbox version still need 3rd party software running in order for it to work with PC? Is it a hassle? Thanks
For PC, Xbox Riff only works natively on PC Fortnite Festival (without extra software), you still need something like RB4InstrumentMapper for it to work on CH and YARG. I've seen a lot of people have trouble with RB4mapper recently even with both the RB4 guitars and Riff. Also there's a problem that people have when setting up the Riff for RB4mapper where once you change the drivers, it won't work outside of that (won't work for FNF or even on Xbox) unless you find a way to revert the drivers. PS Riff does not natively work on PC Fortnite festival but works great on YARG and Clone Hero, tho Whammy and Tilt SP does work no matter what. There is a way to get the PS Riff working on FNF with FestivalInstrumentMapper.
I bought that guitar for clone hero. My kid has a small hand and the frets at the bottom don’t work during the game, when I press any buttons at the bottom fret section it opens a menu. Only the normal frets at the top work for gameplay. When I first installed the guitar, the bottom one worked. Now it doesn’t. Any help please?
@@andrewsrgt4879 I did. All the top ones work fine but when I push the bottom ones it keeps opening the menu. Gooosh. I will try tonight on Fortnite. Doesn’t know what happened because it was working before.
Haven't played guitar hero in forever. Best I could do was 98% on Through the Fire and Flames on expert. Never could do the 2 handed tapping like the best players could. Was always stuck using 1 hand for all the solos.
@@skittlz101T Clone Hero is it's own experience where you can download any library of songs, so that's up to you. I personally play the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games alongside Clone Hero since I like the variety of engine choices since every title is something new there.
i just bought this guitar.. have no problems as far as connection and latency, works great. but i just cant stand flush buttons... wish all guitars were like guitar hero models. also the strum is not very satisfying..
@@skaterunite Knew I was gonna get this question eventually hahaha. You download it from Clonehero.net, and you've got some songs preloaded onto the game already. You map the buttons at the title screen by clicking the space bar (if they aren't mapped automatically). If you want to add songs, you simply find one to download, then drag the folder into the songs folder in the clone hero directory, then "scan songs" in the Clone Hero settings for it to pick up the newly downloaded song.
@@ThatOneGuyFromSchool if you're referring to world tour definitive edition, id imagine that the RB4instrumentmapper tool should make it compatible. If it doesn't work in game as a guitar, you might need to use a different software to have it be detected as a keyboard and then you would map the buttons accordingly.
I got the ps version for pc (and maybe a little ps5, i dont have an xbox.) idk how they say the xbox one is the “PC version” but needs a remapper and the PS one doesnt?😂
@@andrewsrgt4879 fair enough. When i heard about this guitar i instantly thought “yes i can finally play clone hero!”. Its weird they made this with mostly fortnite in mind haha

Nice video, I received mine today and I´m so hyped to try it this afternoon
Currently trying to secure my PlayStation Riffmaster alongside this! I hope you enjoy the Guitar, I'm loving it more every day!

I got lucky, im left-handed, and all the buttons are placed perfectly for me. Also, the 3.5 audio plug is perfect for left handers.
honestly as much I wanted a good customer one to buy I might pick this up cause I just really wanna play guitar hero/clone hero

@@andrewsrgt4879 appreciate it!
Since there is a Clone Hero on Android, will the PDP Riffmaster work there too?
Anyone know if PS5 Riffmaster works on a Steamdeck?
If you need to you can move where you see notifications to the corners of your screen
do you know if the ps5 version works for pc on fortnite festival?
Playstation version available on GameStop's website today. I wonder what's better for the PC, The PS or Xbox version

@@McGuinness89 you still need 3rd party software but it's just the click of a button now, so it's super simple.
@@andrewsrgt4879 good to know. Looks like Xbox may be the slightly better version to get. Heard whammy don’t work on PlayStation version either

I have a Mac and downloaded clone hero. Can I play most songs that would make buying rock band 4 not necessary?

Does anyone know if this guitar connects to the rock band legacy adapter so I can play rock band or guitar hero for the 360?
@@jesuscfit rock band legacy adapter is only for Xbox One. However, there are adapters to get this to work on Xbox 360
How do you connect the riff master to clone hero? It dosent detect it. What did you do?
did you figure it out?

I've gotten used to it honestly, but I'd have to agree that GH guitars are better hands down.
Noob question here, how do I setup clone hero?

The Xbox guitar was technically only supposed to be compatible with Festival, so there's that.
