please use an LP type guitar and play poorly - this will be the best estimation for me

It really is a great amp. I have played one before, superb gain control and very fender like reverb! The only thing I didn't like about the amp was the lack of bottom end. I love a nice deep tone that 6L6 tubes really seem to give. This could probably be modded or having an EQ in the FX loop could also fix that too. Other than that Rivera amps are amazing! I am really interested in the Quadina series. You may also want to check out the Suprema 55. Very similar but closed back for more punch. Has two port holes at the bottom to give it a little extra thump!

I love Riveras but I find this to be the case with most small combos. The Chubster was designed to mitigate this but it's just really hard to build a cab that compact that doesn't sound small.

WHAT?!?!?! Who sells an amp for $1800 and doesn't put a thirty dollar reverb tank in it??? Oh well, thank goodness for the EH holy grail reverb pedal!

I've got a broken-in Eminence Legend V12 that needs a home. You think it would fatten it up?
