Rivera Pubster - anyone have experience


Citrus

Question

Posted

Continuing my search for a med watt head for a 2x12 not too costly, with good clean headroom, and decent dirt

Most of the lower power heads all use el 34s and I am familiar with that sound.

The Pubster uses 2 6v6s , would like to know what they typically sound like, and have never played a rivera.

Using My Newport with Phats, as well as my Artist with Seths

A good amp for these 2 guitars???

Try a Groove Tubes Soul-O 75, if you can find one. Lots of headroom...and If you need it to be, it can get ungodly loud.

Meh. What do you know about being ungodly loud?

I had a Pubster for a while, it was ok in my opinion. i liked it at first but quickly became unhappy with the tone.

the dirt sounds fake to me like it is a diode clipping amp, and there is no headroom to speak of unless your running a very low input signal. i dont use a boost but my pick ups distroyed the cleans. I sold it a few months ago.

I bought a 50 watt EL34 single 12inch combo Marshall JCM 900 Dual master High gain, the marshall sounds way way better to me, my opinion again but the Marshall is tone for days, the Rivera was a little pip sqeak in comparison trying to shout over the taller and better built boys from the dirty side of the road
