Eventide announces Riptide Pedal
Eventide’s Riptide pedal is the result of extensive research into overdrives and Uni-vibes. With stereo overdrive and Vibe, each effect features dual voicings versatile enough for funky bright tones to explosive and warm lead tones.
The Vibe knob delivers classic Hendrix-style Uni-Vibe to full-on vibrato perfect for modern soul and lo-fi tones. Vibe captures the harmonic richness and enveloping modulation of the classic Uni-Vibe by Shin-ei but in stereo! Start out with the “Green” vibe for traditional sounds or engage the “Red” vibe for a deeper, phasey undercurrent of sound waves.
Drive features a balanced distortion with superb dynamics and touch sensitivity. Use the “Green” voicing for a classic transparent overdrive or activate the “Red” voicing for a tight modern overdrive.
With the power to engage each effect individually, swap the order, and store presets, Riptide makes it easy to get caught up in the excitement.
