Let us welcome the Eventide Riptide Overdrive 7 Univibe pedal! The riptide is part of the Dot9 range of Eventide stompboxes.

The Riptide pedal is the result of thorough research into overdrives and Uni-vibes. The pedal has stereo overdrive and Vibe, each effect features dual voicings versatile enough for funky bright tones to explosive and warm lead tones.

The Vibe

The Vibe knob delivers classic Hendrix-style Uni-Vibe to full-on vibrato. With the power to engage each effect individually, swap the order, and store presets, the Riptide makes it the perfect platform to experiment.

The Drive

Drive features a balanced distortion with superb dynamics and touch sensitivity. Use the “Green” voicing for a classic transparent overdrive or activate the “Red” voicing for a tight modern overdrive.

Key Features

  • Stereo Sound – The pedal has multiple inputs to be able to run the effects in a stereo setting, to create real sonic resonance.
  • Preloaded Presets – Five presets loaded at your feet with dozens more available by software update in Eventide Device Manager. The Eventide Device Manager PC or Mac application for software updates, system settings and creating/saving presets.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
