Rivera Clubster 25 Doce

25 w amp, ideal for apartment.
Paul Rivera has created many when he worked for Fender amp.

Lamps in 6v6 amplification.
Ideal for a crisp sound like Fender.
These lamps produce super saturation, hyper music.

Two separate channels, 2 équalisations different for each channel.
Channel 1: to lead and overdrive sounds. Type Californian.
Gain-severe-acute-medium-volume.
A boost to go from overdrive to lead its really pushing the gain.

Channel 2: for clean sounds
Volume-severe-acute.
Notch filter for a pure crystal clear sound to the Fender, and even better ...

Accutronic excellent reverb.
Presence very useful to refine the harmonic level.

Ability to add a baffle.
Effects loop.

Super combo finish, handmade in USA,
Baffle celestion 70/80.

UTILIZATION

Super simple.
To find the clear sounds magical, they simply activate the notch filter.
The pedal provides to switch from one channel to another and whether to activate the reverb.

SOUNDS

Excellent sound!
Exploitable in the apartment as a rehearsal.

The clean sounds are divine. Hyper inspiring.
Crystal to perfection, with a Strat or a TV .... It feels like crying.
If we remove the notch filter, the sound has more midrange but still very pure.
This allows you to adjust the light according to the guitar ... Micro single or humbucking find their sounds.
Strait say, Pink Floyd .... Anything goes. The reverb is excellent, and we can push all the way music is

I could compare with the Fender princeton 65 (amplifier that produces a large breath and vibrates around as soon as it exceeds the volume has more than 4 .... rotten woodwork).

The sounds of channel 1 drive can do everything except metal.
It's pure sound "pop rock" California.
No bad taste (rare in Rivera).
I added an overdrive pedal, Fulltone Full drive of,, and to boost the lead sound dirty.
Sounds like one of the disks.
The power of 25w is very convenient: it is better to have an amp that can push a 25w amp 50w we must play to a level (0.5 or .....).
The combo responds well, he is super well built, nothing to say.
The effects loop allows insertion of delay, the looper ... The effects go really well.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a Rivera Suprema 55 for 3 years and was looking for an amp less powerful and more convenient in the apartment.
I spent my week on Clubster doce and his cabinet of 12 "is a plus.
No doubt what was missing for group play.
The value for money is very good. I bought it at "the amp Lamps", shop Pigalle in Paris.
Very good service, pros.

He who seeks Fender sounds breathless, in a combo well built, vibration-free and with a volume control and an excellent reverb should try rivera amps.
The Clubster doce is easily transportable.
Its sounds are really pros, its manufacture is serious.
With a good stratocaster: you can do anything with.

The same thing as the 25 110 but with a HP 12cm.

UTILIZATION

A + for high volume live!!

SOUNDS

Rivera is the clear sound easy to find, the sound goes from saturated crunch .... mtal in red!

Start vintage 57-voodoo vibe, TS9, and RMC: If my fingers would let me I could play all ...

For sound I use the saturated crunch from the amp, and I am saturated with the TS9 (crunch master of Ibanez).

OVERALL OPINION

Bought six months ago, trs good amp. The saturated and its difficult to find.

For a small combo is the best, the quality has a price! and I have no regrets ...
