Rivera thirty twelve

Tube amp, 2 channels, 1 boost on each channel, one reverb.
A footswitch to change channels and activate each boost each channel
2 inputs high gain and low gain
One loop effect

UTILIZATION

The setup is quite simple. I quickly found a good clean sound. The clean boost allows a snapping sound.
Channel 1 is in fact saturated channel + boost. With a strat it crunch with double windings it saturates.

SOUNDS

I love clean! Jazz funk it really does! The power amp can be fun. 30 watts is perfect. The reverb is very good, I find it more effective than some Fender, Fender is often all or nothing at reverb! A 2 has no effect and 3 or 4 there is too ...
In clean can be compared to a deluxe reverb. In fact it reminds me strongly deluxe reverb II that Rivera made for Fender in the early 80s.
Channel is saturated to me more difficult to resolve. You can get a nice crunch with a strat and a rock sound with 2 double coils.
I personally think there are pedals for a good distortion pedal but not for a nice clean! This sums up the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a lot of amps so I can compare. I think 30 watts tube is perfect, the amp is light and the clean sound is superb!
I've had one day yet what I find out ...
If you like good clean sound, you do not want to break your back, you want to get a good reverb and you have a budget of € 650 so do not hesitate.
The receiver according to my research is also very reliable.
It is difficult to find OCCAZ proving that the owners held there.
After all is a matter of taste and happily! because we would all have the same amp and the same guitar. Zik good at all

This is an all-tube 30W combo (supposedly)
The connection is rather limited, the effects loop is un'preamp out-power in '
There is a reverb

UTILIZATION

The panel could not be simpler, for it is soon compelled against any attempt to get a get a decent sound
I do not remember any guide, it is not in Boogie
Boosted channel is not bad, rather typed marshall, but lacks a bit of serious

SOUNDS

I used to jazz fusion, with a gt luthier, emg kit, a TARS and also a gibson 335. I never managed to get a clear correct.apparemment is the big problem with Rivera / the light crunch right away you push the amp beyond 10 Watts.
The overdrive sound is OK if a bit skinny.
This is an amp that I have not kept long, as unworkable live.
I've never bought from Rivera.Je did not think a manufacturer that reputation could pass as a mediocre amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried and even owned a substantial number of amps, from 20 years of semi pro career. Tip: classic 30 x2 in stereo with vintage tube screamer and 30, you can not beat, even in boogie, and a reasonable investment

All Tube Amp, 2 EL 34 and 4 12AX7,
2 channels, 2 inputs Hight and Low, Boost and master channel
effects loop
LINE OUT
HP 8 ohm output
Rverbe trs beautiful spring,
HP Rivera Celestion

30 W all lamps, adpote! Thanks to masters can play low volume, lightweight amp enough for all lamps,

UTILIZATION

you have to play the knobs, the variations of sounds are sensitive to trs races knobs, as in Mesa
discovering it often sounds, even after weeks of use,
Note the quality of rverbe,

SOUNDS

clean sounds are superb, typs Fender, with many possible shades,
thanks to the switch on the medium of channel 2,
will the crunch of the 70 'to 80' Marshall typs of race
Satus up the 90 '
Note the quality of HP that translates well Submitted bass and treble without agressivit

OVERALL OPINION

super amp, high-end affordable to OCCAZ,
more very practical due to its size and weight,

I strongly recommend,

All Tube Amp
2 cranberry, plus a boost by cannal:
- Clear / crunch
- Satur / super saturbr />
3-button footswitch:
- Reverb
- Channel
- Boost

Between output effects loop.

UTILIZATION

The cranberry are two handy.
It's been four basic sounds depui the footswitch.

SOUNDS

Its very typical does not fit all styles!
Its very hot and pais, on both cranberry.
Lots of bass.
Lacks a bit of brilliance and precision.
Even with a distortion pedal on some incisive trs not do metal, but for blues or rock is perfect.
I use a strat delux, the receiver well defined grain, and the resort is very different configurations of microphones.
Also fully respects the dynamics.
I add a parfoit Ibanez analog delay and a wah wah, but I play mostly live on the amp.
8 becaufe I put the sound right for me, but I understand that opinions vary on an amp that changes all the best sellers in the fender and marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year
I love the sound.
I regret that we can not connect a 2nd HP.
Interresting price quality ratio.
