Description

The first stage of Riversides custom multistage drive topology is anall-analog, ultra low noise, discrete, class-A JFET circuit.This gain stage is digitally controlled to maximize headroom while adding as much as 20dB of pure analog gain,with tight integrationtothe subsequent DSP gain stages.

With ourhybrid approach youget the best of both analog and digital worlds: The JFET stage provides exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic interaction with your guitar,while the incrediblypowerfulSHARC DSP facilitates the greatlevel ofdetailed complexity and responsiveness youll want to hear.
