Been playing this in my local MGR for about 3 months every time I went in. Really has a "sweetness" to the tone with the lower wattage that the Fifty Five Twelve R55 didn't seem to retain. Sold my '94 Peavey Blues Classic and picked this up. It's seen some "love" in its time but it's quite a nice sounding little box.

This one is pretty light and thus an easy carry. Way lighter than my 5150 Combo.MuttznMongrelz

Re: NAD: Early/Mid 90s Rivera Thirty Twelve R30
Very cool. I have always dug Rivera amps... at least in theory. I did take a Quianna 2x12 combo out to a gig once and didn't love the tone. Something about those 6L6s in that amp just didn't work for what I was trying to do. EL34s would probably have made me happier. I really wanted a Jake for a long time. My Bogner EL34 Shiva cured that GAS, but I still wonder what might have been with a Jake."Always remember... all you do in life, comes back to you" - Roy Kahn, formerly of Kamelot, during the intro to "Karma" on their One Cold Winter's Night DVD

Cool amp!
BillWhen you've had budget guitars for a number of years, you may find that your old instrument is holding you back. A quality guitar can inspire you to write great songs, improve your understanding of the Gdim chord while in the Lydian Mode, cure the heartbreak of cystic acne--and help you find true love in the process.

Very cool! My first serious amp was a Knucklehead 100 half stack. In fact, I only recently shifted the 4x12, the head I sold off when I got my Splawn Quickrod.Why don't you take your little Cobra Kais and get outta here?!

Re: NAD: Early/Mid 90s Rivera Thirty Twelve R30
Thanks all. Been playing it the last couple of days and it's just as it was all the last few months I played it at MGR - a well made sweet sounding small amp.MuttznMongrelz

Re: NAD: Early/Mid 90s Rivera Thirty Twelve R30
Really an impressive small amp. Tones I’m getting are pretty extraordinary. Lots of power and volume for 30 Watts; can only imagine the R55 Fifty Five Twelve must be a real MONSTER!MuttznMongrelz

Re: NAD: Early/Mid 90s Rivera Thirty Twelve R30
Agreed! I've been pleasantly surprised with it. Never been a fan of 1x12 in general and have always gravitated towards 2x12 but this one resonates with me. There's just something different about it that I've not encountered before. I really like the clean tones it has with singles and humbuckers.MuttznMongrelz
