Description
The Riot Reloaded takes Suhr’s celebrated Riot and Shiba Drive circuits back into the lab, refining the tonal DNA that made the originals pedalboard staples. Rather than a simple reissue, it’s a ground-up revision — built from extensive testing across guitars, amps, and pickups — aimed at giving the aggressive Riot voice more range without losing the character that earned it a following in the first place.
On a board, this pedal earns its spot as the go-to gain stage for players who need distortion that cuts through a mix without turning to mush at high volumes. It sits comfortably after your drive/boost pedals and before modulation or time-based effects, ready to push tube amps into snarling saturation or add serious grit to a cleaner rig.
Suhr didn’t just tweak the tone stack — they listened to years of customer feedback and folded the most-requested features directly into the Reloaded circuit, so the improvements are functional, not cosmetic. That said, the cosmetic update is hard to miss: a spiral-faced enclosure finished in a deep, saturated anodized color, topped with translucent control knobs that give it a distinct look next to the rest of your gain stages.
