Suhr Riot?

Im inclined to say the one I had was a dud given all the praise and the great clips, but with Suhr's quality control that also doesnt seem likely. So I just dont know. I just know it didnt sound nearly as good and BIG as the Dirty Bomb does.

Have you had an opportunity to try out a Barber Direct Drive super sport pedal? If so, what's your impression?

I LOVED Mark Day's clip of the Riot but have no idea how he got it to sound like that.

I just plugged it into the front of my OD100se+ and used Ch1 (clean). I think it sounds great with that combination. Ch 1 is like a Fendery clean. I don't have another clean amp to try it through, but I'm convinced it would sound great through anything clean.

Sorry, nope. Dirty Bomb is the only one Ive tried. And that was only because the word of mouth was so strong and I wasnt completely satisfied with the Digitech, even though it also sounds good.
 
The best clips I have heard have been the Suhr Riot into a Fender amp. I don't know why they work so well together but they just do.

I have a Suhr Riot and really like it. I agree that into a distorted amp, it doesn't really do much (IMO). It sounded really good in my JSX's clean channel. Not that great in my Marshall 1959SLP Reissue (it is a modded clean, not an actual clean channel).

It is a great pedal but never heard a Barber.
 
Not sure if this helps,

Suhr S4 -> Suhr Riot -> Genz Benz Black Pearl 30 -> Audix i5
