I need a pedal to put into a clean channel to create an hot rodded gained sound and I' interested in Suhr riot but what is better between this two models? and what have the more 80's sound, not too modern and not too vintage?

I liked the original Riot. The newer one has more gain but if you are playing 80's I do not think you would need the extra gain. There should be a vid on Utube with Mark day doing a demo of the original.
 
From what pete Thorn and others have said the Riot Reloaded is more 'amp like' in feel and the knobs have more versatility.
 
I own the Reloaded but have never tried the original- so I can't speak to comparing the two.
I love playing 80's stuff as much as the other Rig-Talkers on here, and can easily get there with this pedal.
The 3 position Voice switch allows you to switch between vintage, modern, and scooped type voices.
 
I have had both and currently have the re-loaded on my board. They are very similar the re-loaded version just has more gain, a bit tighter in the bass, and very low noise though the original is also very quiet. I think Pete Thorn hit it on the head when he said it is just a little more amp like. Both very good but I prefer the re-loaded.
 
Also forgot, hit the Riot either original or re-loaded with the Koko Boost and you are in solo heaven...

Joyo US Dream...

:no: Granted this is just from head to head clips, but I always preferred the suhr to the joyo. The joyo sounds pretty good, but more like a dirt box than the riot. The riot reloaded sounds the most amp like from the clips to my ears. I listen for bass response and high end when checking out these high gain pedals. Most high gain pedals roll off your low end and have a harsh high end, I hear this in the joyo and a touch in the original riot....
 
Direct a/b them with the same rig blind. Most people including myself could not tell what pedal was which....

... Clips are not a way to compare gear. They are ok at best to see some of what a piece of gear can do.

Of course clips have lots of limitations, but are you saying that you have compared a us dream and riot head to head?

If you have compared them head to head, if would have been nice if you stated that in your original post.
 
I have.... They are not identical. But they are very close.
