Welcome to the tube club, Brent! A vast improvement I'll bet.

No, no.... The two of you are having me over for dinner.... Dessert will be a blue 555, served with some Rivera! Heh...!

 

 

Congrats on the new box, Brent. Enjoy!

My 2 Cents..Getting an amp like that Rivera is a no-brainer..Very flexible, and because it's only 1x12 a lot lighter than a head and cabinet combo..ENJOY>>

Brent, Can the Rivera do the super clean tone for rhythm? Or does it break up easily if you push it? I really like an amp that can stay clean when you want it to..

How does it compare to your previous amp Brent ? On a scale of 1 to 10 ?

 

 

i think it is a clearer sound overall than the SS head.....the cleans are crisper. a lot more highs and mids, the lows appear to be about the same. (i thinks a 4x12 would help that ;) )

 

the Rivera is a lot more versitle....i just did a demo vid that i think will show this.

 

i just think the overall sound is more true and real....there is some good SS stuff out there too...its all personal preference

I just watched your Abrasive Disposition videos which I'd never seen nor heard about.

Hey, Brent. Thanks for sharing your jams with us! Loved it! That V is very cool. The amp sounds great. You got a nice one there. Great cleans great OD. Checked out your youtube bank. Was hopin' to see the Mr. Moore ;) but you have a bunch on there. Liked hearing the 535 on the Rivera, too. Good stuff, mang.

 

Saw you had on a Wingy's shirt. I'm in Chicago and am really hoping for a Blackhawks/Wings series. It won't get any better than that!!! So tomorrow I'll be pulling for (gulp) Detroit. Now that's something I don't say every day. :o

Brent, Congrats and good luck with the new amp, glad you're happy with it. I've heard nothing but good things about Riveras. Whats the wattage on it..55W? Down the road I may be getting one. Does it break up easily at lower volumes? Something like a blackface fender tone (like an old deluxe maybe)? I'll check out your demos as time permits.
