    I bought the Riffchild when Converge came to richmond in 2017 and god damn its so sick. Everything from clean boosting to crazy saturation(CHUNKY). If you have an amp that's already a little driven, this pedal is perfect for reeeeaaally pushing it into tasteful saturation. One of my favorite pieces of gear I've ever bought.

      Suped_BIGRIG_350mph Namm is so loud that generally soft spoken dudes like Kurt sound very different.
