Tubeset for Rivera  Knucklehead Reverb 100

 

Due to the enormous gain reserves of the Rivera, a highgrad has to be put In the first position (V1). The perfect tube for this would be our RT-7025 TAD REDBASE 7025/E83CC HIGHGRADE which is outstanding because of its high gain, low microphonics, powerful mids and rich overtone sound. Played clean, the TAD REDBASE 7025/E83CC delivers a warm liquid tone which is very responsive to dynamic playing.

 

For the second position (V2), we recommend our RT003 12AX7A/ECC83  TAD Premium Selected.This tube provides for very good gain, tight deep bass, fat mids and a silky top end with overall definition and brightness. It is selected with balanced systems and improves overall response
