Okay, mostly that it was supposed to be a Fendery clean channel, and dual JCM800 style channels, but with more gain.

My buddy and long time band mate had a knucklhead 55 when I met him, the knucklhead is the amp the bonehad is based on (which might mean all or nothing) but he used it with pedals 
only so I can't be very helpful here, I guess, sorry.
The clean channel sounded great for sure, the amp proved to be very reliable (he had it for 15 or so years when I met him) had lot of tonal options but I don't think I've heard the gain channel.

I've owned like, 5 Rivera amps, and they ALL seemed like a version of, or exactly this description, lol.
I mean, yeah, my Knucklehead Reverb or Knucklehead II was more aggressive than my Rake, but they didn't sound worlds apart.

Yeah, that's pretty much always been Paul's goal. Personally, I loved the Fandango.

The Bonehead was Steve Lukather's signature amp. They are pretty damn rare. From what I understand, it's basically just a 3 channel Knucklehead.
