With each new pedal that Strymon produced , we were all wondering , “ Are they going to make dirt pedals ?” At least I was . That question has been answered in the form of the new Riverside Multistage Drive . And like with every other Strymon pedal , it looks awesome . With low and high gain modes , two different midrange settings , and an onboard Favorite switch , this bad boy ’ s got the goods , all packed into the familiar two-footswitch format . It also features a presence switch , boost function that can be controlled via a remote switch , and expression pedal capability . That may seem like a little much , but as new pedals such as the excellent Ernie Ball Expression Overdrive have shown us , it ’ s very useful to be able to blend your dirt in and out with the easy glide of an expression pedal .
