I really dig mine. I have a tone king sky king 1x12 combo amp that is 2 channel(clean and overdrive). The clean channel is absolutely the best clean I've ever played thru, up there with my 1964 fender blackface Super Reverb. The Skykings overdrive channel is just not my bag at all, not much gain, a more SRV vibe at wide open gain. I never use that channel. Thru the Riot Reloaded in front on the clean channel and bingo, blissful saturation. Marshallesque crunch. Gave me the perfect clean/distorted tones I was looking for in a totally portable package. The Riot paired better with this amp than any of my other pedals, and I went thru a lot. It finally came down to a showdown between the riot and my Bogner Burnley pedal. They both get you more than enuff gain to make the SkyKing go from Beach Boys to Slayer, but there is just something about the Riot that just sounds right to the ear. Bottom line, find an amp that gives you your best clean, and let the Riot do the rest.
