Dude, if theres two houses in the middle of nowhere here then there will be a pub.

I live in a town of 25000 people and there are a good 50 pubs, minimum. And a few bars and clubs.

Alcohol is by far and away the main past-time here :lol:

Some of the women are pretty hot. But...well, lets put it this way, Millom, a town about 30 miles down the coast, has one of the highest inbreeding rates in europe  :o

I liked the Koch but it was abit big for me (they only would sell the 4x12 1/2 stack, not a dealer). It had a def. distinct tone and I DID manage to piss em off by letting free with the volume :)
Just like the spec and tone of the Rivera. And I plan a very small rack so the midi will be VERY usefull. I was lusting after the Herbert (although still say it's overpriced) and the Rivera is as close but alot more reasonable with a very distinct tone of it's own and a truly amazing clean channel to boot.

We really SHOULD try and organise a BKP PUP/Ampfest ya' know :)

just to point out (and this is totally hearsay) i heard some not so good things about thomann, maybe over at lordriffenstein's engl forum (i can't remember exactly where).

I can't remember much about it, but I guess you'd like to know anyway, mark.

Johnny, would'nt be so much point a PUP/AMP 'fest if we had same amp anyway ;)

And,hmmmmmmm in Salisbury, I'm game. Nearest neighbors to me are over 300ft. in any direction so volume could/can be arranged  :twisted:

RE Rivera Knucklehead. I think Steve Lukather used one on the No Substitutions album and it rocks! Carltons tone is better though... Fancy a Dumble? :wink:

OK, nother opinion thing.

Lets say the KH 100r is not won by me.

So, I can go for a KH 55r (same thing in 55watts, which tbh is MORE than fine, and with warranty etc.).

But what about the NEW K Tre???? Damn, hate decisions. I hav'nt tried this one. Two channels with heaviest gain on any Rivera ever produced and the other the 'normal' gorgeous Rivera clean channel. Apart from only 2 channels the main deiff. I can see is lack of midi switching.

Now, have not had a midi amp but think it's very nice/useable idea. But, what in 'real world' would you guys say?

K Tre without midi

K 55 r with midi

Thanks

Nick
