JUST GREAT ALL AROUND, SUPER AMP(S) IF YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE AMP
Okay, I cannot pick one, as this is for the great all around amp.
The Rivera Quiana is a departure from Paul Rivera, as it uses 6L6 output
tubes rather than EL-34 tubes. This amp does Fender on channel 2 and
high gain Brit (sort of the Bluesbreaker thing on Channel 1. A lot of
versatility and features and the 2x12 configuration will fill any venue.

The Dr. Z Maz 18 (MAZ Jr.)
Hand built, PTP, best parts and construction, ultra versatile, compact, light,
loud, reliable in the worst situations, and at a price that is generally less than
½ of what many amps hand built amps of this class sell for.
A lot of output and great reverb too, in an easy to move package. This amp
has a different sort of flair than the Rivera, quicker to distort as it is based on
a duet of EL84 tubes. These amps are very loud, much louder than their
power rating suggests. These are also one of the few EL-84 based amps
that can do the Vox sound AND the Fender sounds. This amp should also
be in one of the other sections above, as one of the best club and blues
amps. This is perhaps one of the most versatile amps anywhere …. Rock,
jazz, blues … and pedal friendly to boot. This amp is also very portable.
1x12, 2x10, and head.

The Dr. Z Z-28 (not shown here but can be seen from the below link)
All the great Fender tones and more. This amp has replaced many of my
Fender amps for those applications. The Z-28 puts out more level than one
would expect though. Think of the amp as bigger than a Black Face Deluxe.
It easily keeps up with a BF Super Reverb.
