Overview

The Suhr Riot Mini™ Distortion Pedal is a versatile, high-gain distortion pedal designed to emulate the sonic characteristics and touch sensitivity of a high-quality 100-watt tube amplifier. It transforms a super clean amplifier into an authoritative rock tone suitable for various riffs.

Function Description:

The pedal features four main controls:

  • Distortion: Adjusts the amount of gain added to your tone, ranging from classic crunch to high-gain heaven.
  • Level: Controls the output volume of the pedal. The Riot Mini provides sufficient volume to push the front end of any tube amp into natural overdrive.
  • Tone: Shapes the overall tonal response of the pedal, from smooth and warm to cutting lead tones.
  • Voice: A switch that selects between two popular diode selections derived from the original Riot pedal, offering different tonal characteristics.

  • Output: Connect this to your amplifier or the input of another effect pedal.
  • DC Input: The pedal accepts power from power supplies ranging from 9 to 18 Vdc (center negative).

JS Technologies, Inc. (JST) provides a lifetime warranty from the date of purchase by the initial retail purchaser, covering defects in workmanship. Electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, filters, transformers, jacks, and pots are covered for 5 years. If a part is determined defective by JST within the five-year term, it will be repaired or replaced without charge for parts and labor, provided the unit is returned (transportation costs prepaid) to JS Technologies, Inc., 601 Crane Street, Unit A, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, or an authorized facility. JST will cover shipping costs to return the unit to the owner. Workmanship defects are determined by JST for limited lifetime coverage.

This warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, unauthorized or improperly performed repairs, alterations, and/or wear and tear from product use. It also excludes expenses for inconvenience or loss of use during repair or replacement. JST disclaims liability for consequential damages from the sale, use, or inability to use the product. Any implied warranty by law, including merchantability or fitness, is limited to the five-year term for parts on amplifiers and electronic products.
