If ‘really’ clean and fat, singing leads are what you’re after they are truly great amps. If you need something that’s good in ‘edge of break up’ territory, they won’t give you that without a pedal.
Jeez, I'm starting to get GAS myself here...probably the 1st amp that really progressed my playing - not very forgiving, but when you got it right, you knew you'd got it right - same thing for getting it wrong too, but hey lets not mention that...
Wish I 'd kept it though...
As an aside, my MKIII was apparently owned by Dave Edmunds (the flightcase was full of tour stickers etc so sort of checked out) and was given to him by Keith Richards as a thankyou for some studio work - nice story if it was true!
Wish I'd kept that one too.
Oh shit, here we go...

It is very good, but the taper on the master is very on/off, so I have an Atomic Amplifire and Marshall DSL20C for 'home use'

MKIIC+ yes, well documented throughout the Isolation era - but Calibres I’m not sure unless he was given them as hired backline?
Rectifiers are Marshall-derived though, via Soldano. Totally different sound - as soon as I heard the crunch sound on one I knew that was the type of Mesa I really like .

What were the circumstances around him falling out with Rivera Sr. ..?

My Studio 22+ has a lovely clean channel, the lead channel is OK but very driven and square sounding (if you can imagine that) even with the official lead mod that calms it down a bit. The graphic helps a bit but I still find a drive pedal better. In fact the best drive sound is the clean channel with a good boost in front of it, which is kind of weird as that's essentially what the lead channel is.

He did start on Rivera modded Deluxes and probably did up to Toto IV using that setup - Toto IV was a bit more Marshall JMP mixed in too and then after IV he started getting into the full on rack stuff.

The Studio .22 is a nice amp but doesn’t come close to the huge punch and depth of the full-size Marks.
Although to be fair, I’ve never tried putting an EV in a Studio... but I don’t think it would do it.
