Strymon Sunset vs Strymon Riverside (These Things Are Great!)
But which is better?
I've had the Sunset for a while, and recently got the Riverside. Strymon are known for making great pedals, and these two are no exception. I really like them both. But which one is better? That's what I aim to find out today.
These two pedals are a bit different. The Sunset is a bit more diverse. But we all know that doesn't necessarily mean it's better. It has to sound the part, and that's what I'm looking at today. The differences between the pedals, and which sounds better.
Check it out, and hope you enjoy as the Strymons battle it out!

Been listening to a lot of comparisons between these two pedals and have to say, time and time again I prefer the Riverside. It just sounds warmer and thicker to my ears. Obviously, its all a matter of taste and I don't think you can go wrong with either one but yes, the Sunset definitely has more options. I already own several Strymons... Flint, El Cap, and Deco... all excellent sounding pedals.

@MrPolevaulter 2 года назад

Yeah, Strymon makes some great stuff.

@darthgibsonlp6631 3 года назад

Both sound absolutely brilliant so I'm going to go for the sunset because of the name and colour ❤

F@$k!!!! I still don't know which one to get. Thanks a lot for more confusion. Seriously, great demo. Thanks. Think I'm aiming towards the Riverside.

@MrPolevaulter 4 года назад

Always glad to confuse :D

Salute Elmo, fantastic playing my friend you are my favourite guitar, pedal reviewer ......the problem is now l have to buy the f...ing riverside !*$?!

@MrPolevaulter 4 года назад

Haha :D Sorry :D

@saepiumv3813 4 года назад

Sold for the riverside! Both great pedals, thanks for the comparison. Haven’t heard one bad RU-vid sound from the riverside and think the features are fantastic and useful.

@MrPolevaulter 4 года назад

Yep. It's great :)

@mdmusic2130 2 года назад

Riverside is such an inspiring pedal…I easily understand what I want from my tone now when I am using it and that’s priceless!!!!!magic killer overdrive!!!!

@hubbydad1322 8 месяцев назад

Great videos Elmo. I've just recently come across your channel and am now a subscriber. Your playing is fantastic. Question. For mo' money, you can get a TRS expression pedal which both the Sunset and Riverside accept. Have you played with this at all? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks.

@MrPolevaulter 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! Haven't tried that, no. Might be something to look into.

WTF?! Can't believe it managed to replace the Fender YJM, this is the most important event through the entire timeline of human history, Elmo, congrats!

@massimilianogullini5222 3 года назад

Great video Elmo !!! so which would you recommend? sunset or riverside? 🔝

@MrPolevaulter 3 года назад

Both :D The Riverside sounds a bit better to me, but the Sunset is more versatile.

@massimilianogullini5222 3 года назад

Thank you Elmo, So... for rock, metal, rock blues, pop... sunset is the answer... on overdrive/ distortion side... 🎸😜

@hairnation68 4 года назад

I’d like to see the Sunset vs the Keeley D&M. I own the D&M but will be getting a Sunset.

@MrPolevaulter 4 года назад

The Keeley looks like an interesting pedal.

@hairnation68 4 года назад

I bought the Sunset and love it. Both very cool pedals.

@thepedalpress 2 года назад

Seems there's a clue in the names. Sunset sounds like California and Riverside sounds like the swamp: Steve Satriani Gilbert or the Allman ZZ Lynyrd Brothers.

@richardmorris363 3 года назад

I agree completely with your analysis. Riverside sounds slightly better. Perhaps consider playing a bit less... just don’t need that many notes to demo the pedals. :)

@toliskoskinas 11 месяцев назад

I disagree. While I’m far from being a shredder, fast runs and arpeggios can showcase problems with note definition and middle range clarity !

@josephallanross6714 3 года назад

Next time with humbuckers please! Thanks! Looking to replace my Bogner La Grange..

@lomi3691 Год назад

I’ve read in one of the comments that you use the timeline for delay. just got mine.. What settings for delay do you use in this demo? And thinking of getting the riverside. Seen one used for a good price

@MrPolevaulter Год назад

Honestly, I don't remember :D I have it programmed, and I can't remember what I did.

@piotrekd.9452 4 года назад

Can you tell me which one can reach a distortion area with a really clean amp?

@MrPolevaulter 4 года назад

Both I'd say.

@AndresMartin 3 года назад

I have the sunset on my pedalboard for almost two years now and I always play with a clean amp (Roland jazz chorus) and I have been using side A with light crunch for classic rock and side B with a massive amount of distortion and it sounds nasty. I couldn´t be happier with that pedal but... Now Im curious to try the Riverside too and wondering if its worth to have both of them in sync.

@trenthogan4212 Год назад

Riverside seems smoother.

@kennethjolley Год назад

I know this is old but what if you stacked two riversides?

@MrPolevaulter Год назад

Haven't tried.

@SteveKay77 3 года назад

Great reviews! What delays are you using in your demos?

@MrPolevaulter 3 года назад

Thanks! These days it's the Strymon Timeline.

@gregmize01 2 года назад

I'm curious how well they clean up when roll off the volume knob on your guitar.

@MrPolevaulter 2 года назад

Very nicely imo.

@MrPolevaulter 3 года назад

Sorry? Match the what?

@MrStereophile 3 года назад

@@MrPolevaulter sorry about that it cut me off before I got to put in what I wanted. match to the yngwie pedal from fender. thanks man

@MrPolevaulter 3 года назад

@@MrStereophile I forget, since I have it programmed as the favorite sound. I think it was the high gain mode, more treble and middle than bass, no mid from the switch. Pretty much gain and output.

@MrStereophile 3 года назад

@cfibanez 3 года назад

Thank you, but his "clean" tone is already pretty dirty. Those truly interested in these pedals, go over to the in-depth demos from Strymon. They are properly tested there.

@nicklee8755 2 года назад

I’m looking to pick up one of these pedals to boost an already dirty amp, so this demo was very useful to me. It’s nice to have different types of demos for different types of uses.
