New Rivera in the house (PICS)!

[Radioboy950]

Rivera Fandango in the house. Hand-built in California.
Deep, oversized cab. Heavy iron. Both channels have an adjustable boost.
Can use a single patch cable in the loop, and lower the send/return volume controls for a built-in attenuator.
Great little trick for home playing, and a beast for the stage. I can't wait to get out there and gig with it.
55 watts (or 25 watts) of EL34 goodness.

The amp is like a swiss army knife, covering snappy, spanky cleans to Brit grind. I'll work up some clips to post.
The build quality of Rivera amps is top-shelf...pricey $$$$$$$ , but they are excellent buys on the used market. Got this on on 'the bay".
It looks brand new.
Weighs over 50lbs, so that's about as heavy as I'd like to go.

I'd love to try one of those ~ sounds like it's really interesting and versatile

Nice, very nice. :AOK

It does some convincing hot-rodded Marshall-style overdrive. This is not "bedroom" volume. It was approaching balls-out, kill people volume.
Still, it was only on half power (25 watts), with the master volume around 3. This is gonna be fun at the next gig
Indulge me in some useless noodling, as I was enjoying the amp while I had the house to myself. I realize the gained-up rock is not everyone's cup of tea, but I'll do some other tones later.

Sweet! Every Rivera I've heard sounded great. Congrats on the new testosterone booster.

I have seen some very good acts getting very good tones out of those. Congrats!
