Eventide Riptide Pedal Overview & Demo

Eventide

collapse expand iconDescription

The Eventide Riptide is the result of extensive research into the iconic Uni-Vibe and legendary overdrives. Whether you're looking to ride the slow, vibey waves of lush modulation or dive headfirst into the pulsing depths of overdrive, Riptide invites you to play with power and attitude that's unapologetically bold.  Riptide features not one, but two distinct voices for each effect, all delivered in glorious stereo. Plus, you can effortlessly transition from Drive into Vibe or Vibe into Drive.

Two Colors of Drive  

Riptide features a balanced distortion with superb dynamics and touch sensitivity. Green is a dynamic, mid-range crunch. Red is a smooth and boosted overdrive.

Two Colors of Vibe  

Authentic Shin-ei Uni-Vibe emulation captures the richness and modulation of the original, in stereo! Green is the traditional Uni-Vibe. Red is a deeper, phase-y Vibe.

    I love it. I can't afford a vintage Uni-Vibe and even if I bought one of those old units, there's no telling how long it would be before it needed a repair. This pedal sounds outstanding. I would like it more if I was able to disable/or enable the noise gate which is always on when you're using the drive side. Maybe that can be addressed in the next firmware update! Please!
