OVERVIEW:

Riot is a versatile high-gain distortion pedal with the sonic characteristics

and touch sensitivity of a high quality 100 watt tube amplifier. Riot will

transform a super clean amp into an authoritative rock tone that inspires all

of your favorite riffs.!!

and a three position Voicing switch.

from classic crunch to high gain heaven.

Level: Adjusts the output of the pedal. Riot provides enough level to push

warm to cutting lead tones.

Voice Switch (three position)
Left: Produces a natural, organic tone that responds dynamically to your

guitars volume control.

Middle: Puts you into high gain territory with a solid midrange, with a tight
bottom end.!!

Right: Produces a vintage high gain response, with excellent definition.!

OPERATION:

Install a 9V battery in the unit (see below) or plug in a suitable 9Vdc,

center negative power supply. Plug your guitar into the input jack and

connect your amp to the output jack. (Note: Connecting a cable to the input

jack will automatically power up the pedal.)

If using the internal battery, remember to unplug your cable from the

input jack when you are done playing in order to insure a long battery

life. Tap the footswitch to engage the Riot. The LED will turn on.
