What does the overload light on the riddle mean?too much power going to my amp?
not sure on this pedal specifically, because i don’t have experience with it, but with other pedals with a similar light, it just means that you have a high level signal being fed into the pedal itself, it really don’t mean much, if everything sounds fine to you, i wouldn’t worrie about it, nothing should go wrong, unless your feeding a power amp type thing into it, then you could break the pedal.
and i may be wrong, but i could swear that i seen Howard Davis (EHX designer) comment on the same issue with the poly chorus, and sed you can just ignore it, it don’t really mean much.
I don’t have a Riddle but I do have a QTron. It has the same light as an input indicator. There is no problem at all, it just is a visual of the strength of your signal. This is because these envelope filters/followers react to your playing dynamics. You hit harder, the effect is more intense. So if you want a more subtle sound, you play lighter. Use your gain on the pedal to find the spot where your picking style creates the sound that you want. Play a note while you adjust the gain and watch where the light indicates, it should match up with the intensity of your effect.
Thank you for your help guys much appreciated!
