How should I set the Presence switch on Riverside?
Riverside’s PRESENCE switch tailors the highest frequencies of the pedal’s output signal for connecting to a wide variety of amplifiers with different tone characteristics.
The minus (-) position, provides clarity with a controlled top end that works well with many amps that have a brighter voice or extended top end character.
The enhanced (center) position extends the top end to allow for more sizzle on high gain tones. This works well with amps that have a warmer voicing, or if you want enhanced detail in the uppermost frequencies.
When plugging directly into a power amp, or into the effects return of an amplifier, the plus (+) position further increases high end detail that may be required. The plus (+) position will also deliver extended high end detail to the darkest amps.
