The Crysis is a high-gain distortion pedal inspired by the Suhr Riot. It is designed to capture the best essence of the original Suhr Riot and other pedals such as the M-Audio Crunch Box, JHS Angry Charlie, Marshall Blues Breaker, and Fulltone OCD. It is capable of producing tight crunch rhythms and dynamic solos. The Crysis has five controls: Drive, Vol, Tone, Presence, and Diode Switch. The Drive control adjusts the amount of gain added to the tone, taking it from classic crunch to high-gain heaven. The Vol control adjusts the output of the pedal. The Tone control shapes the pedal’s overall tonal response, from smooth and warm to cutting lead tones. The Presence control affects the overall ‘shape’ of the tone of the pedal and interacts with the Tone control. The Diode Switch allows the user to select between three different clipping options. The left engages the symmetrical Germanium diodes + the LED pair, the right engages the asymmetrical Silicon diodes + LED pair, and the center engages just the pair of LEDs, which is the loudest of all the options with a more open and organic tone.
