Sweet melody, very nice. I have a Rivera modified Fender Reverb Deluxe that I absolutely love. But I don't play it as much as I used to. I think I'll crank it up after watching this.
I have been more impressed with the "American" 6L6 sound in output tubes and I try to use Celestion 10's or what I call the Blu Label Fender 10's or 12's. I love British amps but they love EL34 output tubes and I just never played those output tubes because they seemed less versatile. Paul has done a beautiful job with his Stage450. If Michael likes it I'm all in on it. Here's a sales pitch you can use Paul, "This isn't your Uncle Marshall's 4x10 amp"
The last band I was in our guitarist played through a 100 watt’ maybe it was a 50 watt’ Blue vinyl wrap combo tube Rivera amd it was so good’ it was such a nice sounding amp and it could handle anything g u through at pedal wise and volume wise’ it was pretty heavy but that is a small compromise for such an amazing sound amp 🙌🔥
Have 20w marshall plexi combo loaded with a Celestion Creamback 10 and I love it. Seems like Riviera crossed a Marshall and super reverb. With the EL34 tubes. That theoretically would be fat sounding.
The Strat is just killing me😬. OMG. It looks like it was made last week. That amp is great but I’d like to hear some loud rock. Does it have interchangeable tubes like the Woo Audio Mono headphone amps? I think that would really be a great idea. With a different tube set you’ll get way different output. It kind of scares me when you talk about the cost of the Rivera in the same sentence with Dumble. That implies the Rivera is beyond my price range 🙄. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵❤️🔥
Nice. My CIA Peavey Predator DX could give any Strat a run, maybe not as complex but I love it. That's what happens when one owns a guitar for almost 30 years. Here for the amp. Hell yes,,,,i thought the SuperChamp bit was great,,,,see one, week later, seller takes it back. Can't say i blame him. This is even better. Rock on!
of course - if you wrap wire round a magnet and fasten it to a body , it'll sound like an electric guitar glen, the 'complexity' is BS , plug it in, turn it , enjoy , people might even smile and dance
Once again, NOT the best name for a specific amp model…or really any product, as I see it. Fortunately, I cannot afford it, so my amp making me depressed every time I look at it is totally academic.
Mr. Rivera seems like a righteous dude. Fantastic amp, lovely vintage Strat, and a fun conversation. A bright spot in my day.
That amp sounded fantastic..."God's gift to our ears" indeed !
A lot of emotions coming through Michael.
Michael, your playing is extraordinary as always!
are we expected to believe that that's a 56 strat or is it intended as a joke?
@@frankcarter6427 The real deal.
@@davidgagnon2849 I've got shares in a diamond mine available, they're at a 99% discount so you must act quickly
Build it and they will come! Paul; Your A LEGEND!
That amp is absolutely incredible!! Holy cow!! 😮
Michael Lemmos Guitar skills ist what keeps me sane in this crazy world 🎸

The Rivera Stage IV with the single 12 is killer but this Stage IV with the 4-10's is other-worldly! 🎈
It's good to see Norm !!!

that amp is magic. i want one. 😎
I appreciate Mike's talent. Love the show, I miss L.A. Joy to the world. ✌️
I was 5 years old when that guitar was built and I am now 72. It’s aged a lot better than me.
Beautiful piece of music Michael!
Remember to TUNE DOWN 1/2 step to CAPTURE that SPECIAL HENDRIX/SRV TONE
Roberto playing in the background?
It shouldn’t be baffling to the informed why that amp & guitar are a dream rig.
Buckethead, Soothsayer esque start to this video - love your playing.
This amp sounds fantastic. I'd love to play one, maybe take it home. :)
Awesome, Thanks
SEEEEE... NO PEDALS OR NOTHING
I TOLD YOU MIKE COULD PLAY GUITAR
PAUL RIVERA CAN BUILD AN AMP KIDS

cool
Awesome amp! Built like a tank and the sound is sooooo sweet ❤ however, unaffordable for me 😢

4-5K ? I think I need one of these.
What song is that first song?
Nice.

Here for the amp.

Can't say i blame him.
This is even better.
Rock on!

$249 as a set. GB and all. Good MIA S type.
One gigs, they wonn't GAF if its a SQ or something older than me@@frankcarter6427 It just needs to work.

Sweet!!!
What song was he playing at first
s/o to the guy playing bee gees in the background lol
I need to get on that list!
#shutupandtakemymoney
Another amp that will break your back, getting it to and from a gig.
Then your not a real musician, get lost 😢
@@Anthony-qb2gr you're correct. My IQ is above 50.....
Does it go to eleven :-)
Twelve.
whats the deal with you not having these to buy, and when I call no one will ship it to me?
How much does it weigh?
80lbs
Oh my! yet another guitar that someone paid a lot of money for 70 years ago and never played! How many more could there be possibly be?
Stay tuned.
it's one of the cleanest he's ever seen, it even still smells new!@@bruceselenka7181
👍🏻✌❤😎
Seems likely a too much bass to me....

Keep tube amps alive
