Just about anything you came up with would be better than what was used originally. Why would you want to build one of those anyway? I had one for several years....and got rid of it. Nothing really sounded that great with it and the Korg Vox AC30 I got on the trade (plus cash on my end) sounded MUCH better. The Rivera Concert repeated many of the layout issues from the Silverface amps, but made them worse. If you took the circuit and laid it out like a blackface Fender you would be miles ahead of where Fender was on the Rivera era Concert.
