2004 Custom Designed 22 watt, two channel, (DeLuxe and Acoustic/Vocal), 1x12" and Foster Tweeter.
It started with a cabinet... Bob has been doing service work for me for years, and I was attracted to a "slightly larger than a Tweed Deluxe" cabinet that he had waiting for a customer. I play both electric and acoustic modern worship music in church situations and often thought about a versitle, but quality "swiss army knife" type combo that could support my Strats, POD, acoustics, and vocals if needed when mic'd on stage, or small venue. I knew Rivera makes something like this for Doyle Dikes, but I wanted something special. Priority was given to a great sounding DeLuxe Electric channel that would stand alone, or I could flatten the EQ if I wanted to go POD. The Acoustic Channel needed to be an all "Pro Quality" PA channel that would match Taylor ES, POD, or vocal, if needed. We agreed on no onboard reverb that may color the signals and have line in/out when needed. The PA channel has the single LO/Hi input and is matched great. For maximum freq. response, Bob used a switch operated high quality Foster cross-over/tweeter and I wanted the cabinet mounted extra AC outlet box for effects/POD. I provided a favorite Reverend Altone 50 12" speaker. The cabinet is a nice green tolex with "salt & pepper" grill. Handle is soft/wide leather.

The sound is sweet and solid! Tone knobs are very reponsive, but flat is great! The electric channel does everything I need and the acoustic surprised me with it's versitlity. I've taken the amp to a few dealers and they agreed. For my style, since I play ash bodied strats, I asked Bob to take some of the highs and headroom out of the electric side because this amp can get loud.

Bob is terrific! I've always appreciated how much Bob knows, but even more, the questions he asks! He is a very, very, good listener related both to equipment and people. He treats both with respect and always asks to confirm his understanding. His passion for perfection is balanced with reality, but he's always trying to improve and make things work simpler, and better!
