Description:

The Rival is a mark V style amp emulator (possibly the only mark V in a pedal). Through the use of JFET op-amp technology, each vacuum tube stage in the original amp was modeled, thus enabling an authentic modern tube amp tone. The 5-band graphic equalizer, with a +/-15dB range, opens up a world of possibilities and is not limited by the standard bass-mid-treble eq found on most amplifiers. The handy presence control helps set the brightness of the pedal and can create a base tone to start playing with. The amp of the Rival is much more complex in reality, and that is one of the issues the Rival tackles. You are able to find the tone they want with a straightforward control scheme of 3 knobs and 6 sliders. Like any finely engineered pedal, all controls can be set at 50% and you have a solid tone to play with. Time to get rockin!
