I have been looking at the thousand dollar Rivera combo's which would be kinda ironic since I work for Rivera Masonry as an estimator. Here is a link to my boss's book www.thebarefootshoeshineboy.com
Which Rivera?
Of those, I would go with the Chubster, although I have not played the other two. The Chubster is a great amp.Chubster and Pubster and Clubster in the 40-50 watt range
Rivera + OCD= excellent hi-gain tones. :BEER...the amps natural OD/distortion is better than any pedal I've tried, including the OCD.
Harv
Used Riveras are ridiculous value for money.
You'll be thrilled with something like the Chubster, 2 great channels and lots of tone shaping features.
Another thing with a Rivera, you can sell off a bunch of overdrive/distortion pedals and use the money to pay for the amp...the amps natural OD/distortion is better than any pedal I've tried, including the OCD.
ditto. i've had one for about 4 years now and it's my favorite "amp on the go". lots of different tones.Of those, I would go with the Chubster, although I have not played the other two. The Chubster is a great amp.
Good comments. I love my OCD for what it does when on and off. This pedal has the best true bypass thing going on of any pedal I've used.There's only one pedal you need with a Rivera amp, IMO, and that's a TS9 type pedal with no mid hump...and that = the OCD.
I am not above paying the Minimum Advertised Price for something I want. My only option is to go to GC and do a shootout on the amps they have there. The Mesa Boogie Lonestar is also in the running as well as the Genz Benz El Diablo 60. The Lonestar prices in about the same as the Chubster, less than a Fandango. So the thing to do is go to Guitar Center and do the shootout, maybe on a Monday. However if I run across a Fandango used in the Phoenix Area, I will jump on it. I have lots of time.Harv Be a little patient, they will appear...it will be worth the wait.
