That looks like heaven!

That's just 1/2 of the room!! There's another stack just like it on the other side, and both side walls are lined with boutique combos.

roccaforte would be a great option if not for the fact that I'm from the UK and wont be able to get one over here :(

Yeah, I'm certainly not saying it's a feasible option! PDT_008

Seriously, look into the Rivera. I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

The rivera seems to be quite the metally amp tho?

That's the way it's being marketed right now, unfortunately.
I would suggest finding an older KH100: 2 channels, no reverb. It's a stunner!

ummm, Charlie uses a Mesa Boogie Triple Rec... where did the Peavey suggestion come from?

I am a bit nervous about these 'modern metal' amps since I really do want the nice cleans like in the orange rockerverb clip - as well as the vintage rock sound of GnR

Nope, maybe now, but certainly for Grand Unification he used a 5150 and a Diezel VH4, I have an interview with him from Guitar Buyer in which he talks about his gear.

I have a Rivera Knucklehead
VASTLY underrated amps imo (i.e. NOT the 'flavor of the month' with the who's who of gear whores) but omg it's a KILLER amp.
Fender cleans to slipknot downtuned madness!
And built like a sherman tank!!!!!!!!

btw, as you can see I had a single rectum and an ENGL and it SLAYS both in EVERY respect!

I think I've said it before but I'll say it again, that tele is so ****ing awsome man 8)

Knuckleheads are brutally good amps.

I've been suprised by every Rivera I've played/heard.

dave_mc · « **Reply #26 on:** August 30, 2007, 03:02:04 PM »

i need to try one of those rivera heads, I've only tried the pubster/chubster (whichever one it was), it was nice, but more of a combo-type feel (obviously enough).

I don't buy into that flavour of the month lark either...

are rivera knuckleheads available over here?

there doesn't ppear to be one on that site ... how much are we talking here anyway 150GBP?!!! I said earlier my budget is more around 800 i'm afraid but from the vids I've seen I do LOVE this amp, do think reivera are advertising it wrong though, it seems can do anything and isn't just a metal monster.
