PDP Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller for PS5, PS4, PlayStation, PC

It works both in PS5 and Mac. I have great experience in Mac using Clone Hero. Recommended.

I was very hesitant to buy this as I've read a lot of opinions about if it works or not on CH on Mac. Answer: It does work!!! I'm using the latest CH version on Mac Air with M2 and Sonoma. Caveats: 1.- It's not bluetooth, in the manual it says it's radio frequency 2.4 or something so it needs to be connected using the included dongle which is USB-A so you may need to buy an USB-A to C adapter. 2.- Connect the guitar and press space bar, CH will recognize it immediately however you need to map the buttons, very easy and straight forward. 3.- Tilt and whammy don't work. I'm not sure if you need to calibrate or something but for now it's not working for me. 3.- If you are going to play local multiplayer, make sure to have your other instrument plugged before you plug the guitar so you can use the guitar as player 2, otherwise it will be connected as player 1 and you will have both controllers connected to player 1.

Love playing Rock Band. I was down to one Guitar/Bass and of course finding them has been painful for years. So, when I found this I figured it was worth a shot. Well, I loved it so much I bought a second one that is still (MONTHS LATER) in the box. At some point I will likely pull the spare out to charge it occasionally to protect the battery pack. I am using on a PS4 and have had zero issues so far. I would recommend.

I was advertised this product on social media and bought it based on influencer videos and reviews. I first used the controller for Rock Band 4 on my PS5 and it worked great. Fret buttons and strum bar are just like a Rock Band controller. The joystick on the back of the neck is a fun feature but often I forget its there and almost never use it, but it doesn't get in the way while you're playing. The start and select buttons are kind of close to where I have my pinky finger while playing so I will often hit those buttons accidentally while I'm playing. This controller will work on Clone Hero but it does require a bit of setup and unfortunately I can not get the tilt (star power) or whammy bar to work in Clone Hero. The glossy finish shows a lot of finger prints on the body. I haven't had any problems with the buttons or anything deteriorating after a year and about 200 hours of heavy use. Overall this controller is a little over-priced but not a terrible value, just make sure to do a little shopping around first before going for the Riffmaster specifically.

Love it! Great replacement. I was always holding onto broken guitars I would find at flea markets or whatever to Frankenstein my old guitar back to life. Finally a new one! Works flawlessly, great charge, no more batteries. Nice buttons. And the strum feels nice. Not as “clicky” as the Guitar Hero ones but not as “mushy” as the Rockband stratos. A perfect middle ground. It’s just so smooth.

Works like a charm and battery life is great so far!! Highly recommend!!

Works great!

Terrible to the point that I am on the verge of asking for a refund. As a person that played on expert and went to guitar hero tournaments from 2007- 2010, I am very disappointed. I bought 2 of them, so it's not like it's a fluke. The note buttons don't rise above the fretboard so that I can feel where the buttons are, making it harder to keep track of where my fingers are. The guitar is too big. Everything feels like it is in the wrong place. I hate the way the strum bar feels. Sure, it is quieter, but it's hard to tell when you've done a strum. I can't tell when I have went up or down all the way with the strum bar. It's similar to the Rock Band guitars when they first came out, only worse and more expensive. I will be getting the CRKD Gibson Les Paul guitar when it comes out. It looks more like what I would expect, and it seems the people who made it actually understand what they are doing and why. Unfortunately, we have to wait until June for it to be released. One final thing I will say is that it is impossible to calibrate. I kept missing notes for no reason, even after calibrating. I switched to a standard definition television, and I STILL kept missing notes here and there for no reason. I am shocked and appalled at how bad this entire experience has been.

4/29 追記 先日のSteamクライアントのアップデートで、ワーミーが認識されるようになったので星5にしました。 ViGEmBusなどは必要ありません。 ただし、ティルトはRSボタンに割り振られてしまってちょっと挙動がおかしいかも。 --- Steam版のヘブンリーギターズで使うために購入。 ゲーム自体はコントローラーに対応していないけれど、Steam入力でキーボードを割り振ればプレイできました。 ただしティルトとワーミーバーはPCが認識しないので、Steam入力でもアサインできません。 それをPCに認識させるには特殊なソフトやドライバをいくつか入れる必要があるのですが、プレイする際にあれを設定してこれを立ち上げて・・・とスマートじゃないので、どうせ使わなくても充分にプレイ出来るしと、無いものとして扱っています。 いつか別のゲームをやるのに必要になったら考えようかなと。 商品自体は、割と出来が良いです。 流石に本物のエレキギターよりは一回り小さくて軽いけれど、ゲームをプレイするには何の問題もありません。 ギター型コントローラーは昔のギターフリークスのいかにもオモチャなものしか知らなかったので、それに比べると雲泥の差です。 1万円以下で買えるギターコントローラーとしてはかなりコスパは良いと思います。 個人評価は満点に近いのですが、ただやはりPCでワーミーがデフォルトでは使えないという点が大きなネックなので、星一つ減らしました。

Molto figo, mi sto divertendo come quando ero bambino. Da batterista apprezzerei parecchio se facessero una cosa simile per la batteria per Rock Band 4 o simili!

versión de ps5, ¿a qué vas a jugar si no hay juegos? el fornite es más una broma que un juego, y el rockband 4 no se vende en digital, solo lo puedes conseguir en segunda mano. Pero y en PC? Pues en PC de forma nativa, sin hacer nada da la impresión de que no va a funcionar, pero hay software de terceros que hace que funcione en su totalidad, incluido palanca de vibrato e inclinación de la guitarra, en apps como clone hero o versiones de GH antiguas. Pero necesitas dar con el tutorial adecuado. Eso sí, una vez puesto funciona super bien, y hay cientos o miles de canciones en PC

Esta muy bonita , justo como la queria , los botones se sienten perfectos y facil de vincular , 10/10

The Riffmaster guitar made by PDP is simply one of the best guitars I've ever owned. It feels sturdy even though it's lightweight, the frets are good (even though it's a pain to hit HOPO's) and the strum bar is excellent - fast alt strumming is so much easier now (I was playing songs with sections like this on RB4 - Black Magic, Heir Apparent etc) and I hardly broke my x4 multiplier when I have using GH/RB strats guitars in the past. There are a couple of nitpicks of course - the whammy bar is springy and if you go to far down with it it can catch the pause button and if you're going for a FC it can mess you up, and also sometimes the strum bar doesn't register standard speed alt strums. The ability to choose between PS4 and PS5 is awesome, and the fact it's totally wireless (up to 40 hours on a single charge) is a welcome plus, saves having to scout for 2 AA batteries every time. I think PDP have done a fab job with this but I think if they make more of these down the line maybe they should cure the original faults this one has even though there aren't many. Overall, a bloody amazing guitar and I'm having so much fun with it.
