Features • A Pull Scoop switch exists to deepen the
midrange notch, and a Pull Bottom works for adding gobs of fatness on the
low strings. For the Rhythm and Blues channel, 3 bands of equalization
along with a Pull Bright Switch, and a Midrange Pull Notch switch, give
a choice of British/Tweed or American Blackface tones. 6 footswitchable
and distinct tones are easily accessible. Footswitchable functions
are actuated with soft-touch momentary contact switches (especially quiet
for studio recordings). Like all Rivera amps, the LED indicators
on the front or rear panels correspond with the LED indicators on the Footswitch.
Focus and Presence controls for the final equalization of the EL-34 (55
Watt has 2 EL-34’s, and the 100 Watt has 4 EL-34’s) power amp
section round out the variables. 6L6GC’s may be installed by
just adjusting the bias (an internal adjustment). Power and Standby
switches are on the front panel as well.

Blend controls, equalized Recording Output, subwoofer Output (for hooking

"
The Rivera Knucklehead Reverb blazes a new trail for high-gain heads with
a remarkable clean channel, loads of features, an intelligent user interface
and MIDI control. You've got a massive
tone delivery system with an unmatched sonic footprint."

"
A great-sounding professional amplifier that is loaded with enough sonic options
to satisfy even the most inveterate tone-tweaker, the Knucklehead Reverb is
also powerful enough to hold its own in nearly any performance situation.
In addition, its MIDI capabilities will be welcomed by users with sophisticated
rigs who want the convenience of having several preset sounds without sacrificing
genuine tube tone."

"
Yes, it’s a very expensive purchase but the Knucklehead really delivers.
By
comparison, some other amps in this price bracket are much harder to justify.
Every feature is onboard for a specific reason and adds something. What we’re
really trying to say is the Knucklehead Reverb is one of the world’s
ultimate guitar amplifiers; once you have one, chances are you will want to
hang on to it for a very long time."
