  • Holy Shit!!

    I just received my latest amp addition.
    Rivera Knucklehead TRE w/Reverb. Holy smokes!!! what a beast.

    Plugged in my Charvie Greenie straight in no FX and gave it a spin. Damn...
    Gain out the ass, a clean channel ala par with Fender, cavernous Reverb on tap and a clever footswitch and layout operations like Rivera always does.

    I am so freakin impressed with this thing. It is so fluid, even at max gain settings. I mean, I did not tweak it for more than five minutes and I was already ripping through it. Note definition is outstanding and loud as a SOB!
    However, I can use the FX loop as a master and crank the fucker, so at low volumes I can get nut tingling tones.
    With the foundation control you can play with the bass response like on a 5150, very cool.

    I played it for about 30 minutes and already love the little bugger.
    I have owned Rivera's K-55, KHR-55 and now KTRE-100 all different, but all loud as hell and all good at what they do.
    I have a new toy, can't wait to take it to practice and blow the drummer off the room.

        Rivera amps are nice. They dont test them in a controlled dead room . They design there amps based on being played in a live room with other players there.

          Mark,
          I talked to Perry and the only thing he had left were K 4x12 cabs.
          He's got a couple of TREs coming, one TRE w/Verb and another w/o Verb.
          I am looking to get a K 2X12.
          If you haven't checked a TRE give it a whirl, its a beast.

            cool. did he have any bogner stuff in stock? i am WAAAYYYY to lazy to drive over there!!!

            i wanna try the tre....seems a little cooler than the KHR100. i ended up getting rid of that one. i just prefer my old M100 and S120 heads......

            the tre is a smaller box, right? i didn't like the size of the KHR at all....

              The TRE is a smaller box.
              I still have my KHR55 that I use with a Marshall 1936 & a Rivera SUB1. Devastating package. You are right the KHR is a full size head.

              I did not ask him a bout Bogner stuff although I know he had an Uber a month or so ago. I usually call him first as it is a hike for me as well.
