KR7-Mick Thomson Signature
Mick Thomson's signature 3-channel, 120-watt head with a MIDI-switchable Headmaster footcontroller and a re-voiced midrange for tight, aggressive riffing.
About this amp
Developed with Slipknot’s Mick Thomson, the KR7 retunes Rivera’s midrange for more punch and bottom-end definition, with increased gain and sweetened top end. Three channels with distinct topologies span sparkling clean to massive distortion, with dual reverb controls and a Focus/Presence pair for speaker damping and high-end shaping. The included Headmaster MIDI footcontroller switches channels, boosts, reverb, and the effects loop, and can also control other MIDI gear. Four power levels (120/60/30/15W) are switch-selectable. Pairs well with Rivera’s Seven-badged Celestion K100 cabinets.
