Hi Gain Pedal Shootout

Hi Gain Pedal Shootout

Which did you like best? I wanted to shoot out some high gain pedals, if anyone is looking to spend some money on a good distortion, let me recommend these three!

**Feel Free To Read This Lot**

Hey Guys - I'm Rabea

I'm the lead guitarist in Dorje and Toska, where i write music, make songs and have a great time with my mates.

I also have my own line of guitars with Chapman Guitars, and i've designed numerous products with some really cool companies, such as the Victory Amps VX Kraken.

Anyway, i hope you enjoy my videos, thank you for watching!

Just dropped a few dimes on a Riverside today, and it's utterly fantastic!
I put it up against the Dracarys and a bunch of other high gain pedals like the Wampler Triple Wreck, Mesa pedals/Bogner etc, and there's absolutely nothing like it. It's rich and creamy no matter how you dial it in.
It's deceptively high gain-...-heavy AF! (for those judging a book by it's cover- you're in for a proper treat ;)
If you can drop the extra cash, it's well worth it! Killer piece of gear.

Wampler Dracarys for the Win on this one. Just Brutal Distortion. Great playing & comparison.

[Boredable]

I've had the Dracarys for a few months now. Sounds IMMENSE with a strat. Brightens it up just a tad. Great demo and playing as always Bea!

This is an unfair comparison because Bea a can make a tuner pedal sound good.

[timmccarthy]

I liked the Wampler. Just a brutal tone. I would buy it if I could play like that lol. Rabea is unreal. I watch these videos just to see him rip.

[germanemigrant]

That riverside is SO good. So big and open while still having a strong mid-presence! Will probably buy!

[DanielFantini]

Riverside sounded amazing. Tightest low end response out of all of them. Rich midrange frequencies and has a shit ton of sustain. Great Video Bea!

hey Rabea i honestly just wanted to tell you how much i love your playing, you and chapman are both legends in my book.

[ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

The way I see it, the Wampler Dracarys is basically a Randall Satan in a box. Wampler did do a great job on the Catapulp, which is basically an Orange Rockerverb in a box, so I would expect the Dracarys to be the same level of great at what it emulates. Wampler certainly did not disappoint.

[maxscardanelli]

I can't think of a better way to accompany my morning coffee and toast than with some of Bea's exceptional playing.

[Witticism_TV]

No offense to Rob, (I even bought a Chapman guitar) but I enjoy these reviews so much more. The playing, the tone, the camera work, is so good! You're really coming into your own!

[vkelly]

Riverside sounds great very versatile pedal, a lot of people gave out and put down the riverside pedal when it came out but thanks to That Pedal show and Rabea for showing people it is great pedal 🎸🇨🇮

[thisguy]

I think these will all come down to taste for the player. If you don’t need the diversity of the Riverside, the Dracarys is a great option that you can get for $169 now. For me, the filaments is clear but a bit mid heavy in this demonstration.

One of the plus sides he may not have mentioned here is the Riverside has a built in gate that works really well.

[ransombaggins]

Personally, it's the Riverside for me. Clean and clear without being harsh or brittle; rich and thick without getting muddy. Dracarys next. The Filaments just isn't my jam. Of course, messing about with the knobs, the amps, etc. can change things up.

[chrisdiana]

I'm a fan of the Strymon. Also that PRS is gorgeous! Thanks Bea.

[calebrabion]

Riverside sounds the best to me. I was thinking the same thing you said about the riverside being a blend of the other 2.

[theminboss]

Normally I'm not keen on the sound of distortion pedals as opposed to valve amp distortion with an OD, but damn that riverside pedal screams.

[rynoriffs]

Great comparison Rabae, love the sound of that Riverside, and the riffs were tough A/F as usual! great playing mate.
