Blues Shaman

The Blues Shaman by Rivera is an overdrive pedal that emulates the tonal and dynamic range of a small Class A tube amp, providing buttery warmth and soft clipping in its overdrive. The pedal features an Ascension foot switch that delivers a feisty gain boost, and its Tone control shapes highs while retaining beefy lows. Additionally, the Stack/Combo switch allows for further tone shaping, emphasizing tones characteristic of compact, open-backed amps or large-volume closed-back speaker stacks. This switch can also be used to fatten up a Strat in Stack mode or tighten up a Les Paul in Combo mode.

The Blues Shaman is designed to convey the nuances of the interaction between fingers, wood, and wire, providing an organic and dynamic response to pick attack. It is lauded for its unique combination of tone, features, and uncompromising build quality, as recognized by Guitarist Magazine with a "Guitarist Choice Award."

The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery, offering versatility in its use.
