yoslate Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 what are we doing in August? are you having me over for dinner 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 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>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthpawGuy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 How does it compare to your previous amp Brent ? On a scale of 1 to 10 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Hfan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
