| A 5150/6505 will always fit the bill, especially for that style, as would a Dual Rec.
Personally I'll never stop recommending Engls, but not everyone loves them, Loomis has just switched to them though, if you didn't already know.
In terms of Rivera, I don't know how similar the KR7 is to the Knucklehead, but I really did not find the Knucklehead to be worth the hype. The cleans were good, but the higher gain channels just sounded like a generic hot rodded Marshall tone to me (although I'm a hater of all things Marshall, so that might explain that).
The Laboga I can't really comment on as the closest I've been to Laboga is Behemoth on stage (and I think they were using the cabs only), however some of the clips I've heard have been fantastic, and there are a LOT of people recommending them.
You tried looking at Randall too? |
