I've been running a fullsize Rivera Rockcrusher for years with my 68 plexi and had zero issues. I do run the amp at about 80-90 ACV with a variac and the Rockcrusher nor the amp get even warm. It is really an overbuilt unit it is the size of most two rack space power amps and it is a reactive load. The load resistors are huge and like I said ...

Is it on another level compared to the Rivera or is the RockCrusher respectable? How noticeable is the difference with the same quality IR? I like the Rivera because it has an attenuator for when I use my cab. However 90% of the time I'll probably be using it without a cab using only the load and IRs (Ownhammer or Celestion) to send …

The RockCrusher is simply an invaluable tool that allow powerful tube amps to get more use, instead of merely collecting dust. Instead of the usual resistive load network design used on other power attenuators, Rivera used a hybrid "reactive" load network, giving it its great response and improved speaker-to-amplifier interaction.

not use the rockcrusher on amplifiers that are hardwired for 2 or 4 ohms, or do not have 8 or 16 ohm output impedance capability. do not use the rockcrusher with any speaker load lower than 8 ohms impedance. on the back of the rockcrusher, you must use the speaker jack #1, first. you may not exceed the 120w rms power rating of the rockcrusher.

Reaction score. 30. Jul 17, 2023. #22. I have 3 Rockcrushers. Yes, the difference between the -20db and Studio is large, and the Studio sound is too compressed to be really usable in the room. If you need to have that level of control over the attenuation, reamping (as stated previously) and the TAE is the way to go.

Don't overlook the Alex attenuator, they are great. I bought one over the Rockcrusher, why, well I found a used Alex attenuator before I found a used Rockcrusher. Only few complaints I have seen the rockcrusher, is that the step sizes are too big and that in the bedroom mode, some don't like it squashing down that low.
