Great amps - bullet-proof construction, myriad tones.

Channel 2 on many of their designs is the same - it's incredibly versatile. One could live there, no problem.

While I'm less convinced of the Marshall-type voicings of their Channel 1, there's much to love w/ many Riveras.

Big fan of their EL34 designs - TBR, M-series, R-series, Jake/Rake, etc.

I've had Boogie's, Fenders & Marshalls over the years but the Rivera M60 (bought in 1997) is the only one I can't part with. It has been dropped, flooded, drowned in beer etc... After hundreds of gigs it has NEVER failed me. It is over engineered and built like a tank. They are the best gigging amps.

Tone wise, there is alot of tone in the amp. For me though it took me some time to get used to it. Its not an amp you can plug in and play. You need to work with it but its well worth it...
