Which combo?Your opinions....

[Panagiotis]

I mostly play hard rock in the style of Whitesnake, Dokken, Europe, Firehouse etc.I played today a Rivera Chris Duarte model and it sounded great!Nice overdrive, nice cleans, nice crunch.I also want to try out the 5150 and TripleXXX combos.What do you think?Any suggestions?Thanx!

I really like my 5150 combo. But if you must have good cleans then look elsewhere.

I would also recomend something that doesnt share the EQ with each channel.

i love my XXX combo. i dont play as much hairmetal stuff as you, but i think itll do that pretty well. i play a lot of dio and ozzy stuff on it, and thats kinda close.

Look at ENGL combos like the screamer, if you can afford it you will most likely be blown away!

Has anyone played any RIVERA combos?What do you think of them?Chris Duarte's model could play from ballads,country,blues to HARD rock even heavier stuff even though Duarte is a blues player.

i think the xxx sounds sweet for crunchy stuff.....cleans are aight.....


honestly though, there are a ton of different choices to choose from, you really are going to have to go to a guitar store for a few hours and try them all out.....

If you play metal, you really should look into a head and cabinet. The Rivera is the most versatile amp out there, period. If you want killer gain, you should stick with the Rivera or try a VHT, as well. (I own Rivera and Engl gear and love 'em both, but the Rivera is still better)
