Paul Rivera wasn't it?

I'm not sure you're 'missing out' on name when you go with Rivera.

From what I've seen here Rivera is regarded as a more exclusive brand than Mesa Boogie.

I am a bit out of the loop I guess, I bought the thing back around 1990, before Rivera was highly regarded. (among my circle of musician friends anyway. In fact, I have been openly mocked on a number of occasions, "RIVERA?!!! WTF KINDA AMP IS THAT?!!?")

And as for the Mesa Boogie thing, that was the tale told to me by the salesman at the time, so truth be told I don't know for sure if Rivera worked at Boogie or not.

I guess it's a testament to the quality of it that I haven't bothered to go after a new amp! Either that or I am a complete idiot. Either way, I like it = I am happy.

TwilightOdyssey, do you have clean songs with the Rivera? I don't play that style so I wouldn't know what to use it for if it could only do mega gain metal. Just want to hear as many amps as i can so i could make a good choice when i do the big buy.
