I'm a Rivera fan boy for a while now. I have two KTre Reverb combo amps and 2 KTre heads. They are incredible amps. Use a little overdrive in the front of these and they sound amazing. Plus they have awesome clean channels. If you are patient you can find the heads for around $900-$1000 used.
Which is so crazy. I bought one of the early ones for $1800 and I realized it was a steal. These amps are SUPER undervalued because they are oddly unknown in the metal world, but they have so much character. Everyone that has played through mine has been blown away.
This is awesome my dude. I have the ktre, the KR-55 and a Clubster royale recording. One thing I say you should try is skip out on the Tubescreamer (though I have one and love it) and rub a clean boost in front. Try the Xotic clean boost. With no switches flipped on it it’s a mid boost by default and adds no extra gain but gives you a delicious crunch of tone and delicious cream on the clean channels. I use it on all three amps.
This amp is really overlooked in my opinion-Has a really incredible gain structure.If I wasn;t using my ENGL FIREBALL/I would seriously consider it/Nice job...
Have you ever compared this to the Mick Thompson model? I thought that was the model used on the last two albums and wondered how much difference there is compared to this. Killer sound here anyways.
How did you get the amp to sound crunchy and good like that? I bought one of these to try to get that tone and it just sounds way too bassy and muddy. No top end crunch like here.
Don’t keep Bass high. This amp has a lot of low end which can get flubby if too high. I don’t remember my settings but you can look on screen. What pickups/guitar are you using? Try using a Boss SD1 or tubescreamer in front of the amp as a boost, will cut the mud and add crunch.
I tried lowering the bass and then I boosted the mids and highs with an eq and tried using a overdrive to tighten the sound up. I don't know lol I couldn't get that awesome sound you got going on in this vid. It either sounds way to bassy and muddy or with the eq or overdrive it sounds ice picky and harsh. Who knows. I'm putting mine up for sale. You got an awesome tone out of this thing. In fact this video was one of the reasons I bought it. I guess I have bad luck with tube amps?? Again, sick tone man!
That’d be a downgrade tone-wise. This demo sounds amazing, even better than AJ’s tone. Who cares about being “accurate,” nobody except AJ can really nail his guitar sound 100%.
@@gregbrooks2841 If you look, he doesn't have the volume up that high, that's the problem. He needs to crank the amp to make it sound the best. I always ran mine around 6 or 7.
This playthrough solidified my buying this amp. Good stuff right here.

Sounds fantastic, and very similar to my KII. This demo alone is going to raise the prices of used Riveras.
Too bad I already sold it 😂
Why? You sound sick ‼️🤘
Sounds good maybe for Adams tone lower the gain a bit

I think the last time he used it this tour was the Milwaukee show on Halloween.
He also used Rivera on the last two albums
Boogie Riffs on 10,000 Days too?
Yep
Boogie Riffs Didn’t know that. I thought it was the Mesa, Diezel and Marshall Super Bass

I haven’t unfortunately. I think he used both but who knows which amps were used on which parts...
He played a Knucklehead Tri live for the first 5 or so dates last year starting in Denver, then switched it out for a silverface Vh4. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sounds pretty good man!
This seems to have the gnarliness I'm not sure the Engl amps retain from the Marshall sound --except perhaps the Savage(?).
sounds fucking awesome. makes me think i can get close to that with my 6505
Don’t think it would be too hard if you have the right guitar, pickups, settings and cab plus technique
good playing, you really do this thing justice. seems like you have all the riffs from their discography down haha
Actually fuckin spot on. Way to go!
Mixed with a vh4 and a uberschall this would be spot on accurate
Mixed with 8k more worth of amps.. easy task for any normal person😂
You’d also need an old school plexi Marshall.
How did you get the amp to sound crunchy and good like that? I bought one of these to try to get that tone and it just sounds way too bassy and muddy. No top end crunch like here.
salame462 Try turning the mids and highs up and turn the bass down.

Les Paul Custom with JB pickups.
salame462 th-cam.com/video/3Rp8n-wfjI0/w-d-xo.html You could change the tone stack like this guy did.
What’s the first song? 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Fear inoculum
For me too much gain... and cut some highs off.
Blending with a Marshall would give more justice for the chased tone.

Ya really muddy sounding amp.

@@Gonboo When I got a rockcrusher to use with my tre, the amp finally opened all the way up. It is one of the loudest amps i've owned.
@@brianaaland5263 Yup, it's got that Marshall DNA that demands you crank it loud to get the best tones.
