- Between Hi and low gain front, effects loop, footswitch ... etc..
- Plthore of rglages, 2 channels, the first is the saturation type pluttddi Marschall. There are volume, bass, midle, treble, master and gain a boost by pulling the master button. The second channel, Fenderien, we find the same thing but an active "bright" by pulling the treble knob and change the medium of rponse pulling the midle button. Finally, it was the Reverb, and a button the prsence dnom "focus" that affects the output curve, a sort of boost to "heat" or treble if you pull the button.
Opposite rear there is a button Modern / Vintage which softened the sound and Reduces power. There are also rglages dpart levels and effects return.

UTILIZATION

Prcis As above, there normment of rglages. This is an advantage but also a inconvnient, it is not so easy to find the sound. And finally, we spend our lives turning the buttons in the hope of finding better. It must be said that all are rglages trs sensitive, so effective. We pay Rivera's will give the versatility ...

SOUNDS

I have all kinds of guitars, strats, Epiphone, PRS etc .... I play a little bit of everything so the versatility of this amp is a plus for me. It can range from light to trs trs saturated. The mtal did not fear the shadows, either through the crunchy blues. Technology "master volume" is that you can play low trs having a good sound, it's not a Fender ... The power is really sends the STRID.
L o I am less enthusiastic, is that whatever is said, it is not a Fender or a Marshall ... I am fortunate to have a Fender Vibroverb, and there is no photo, trs Vibroverb is far ahead of Rivera in clean (although with sr, and the Fender inconvnients .. .). I'm not used to the Marschall, so I can compare it.
Sure, is approached by his Fender clean / crunch but I find that Rivera lack of "grain" and that's what I said was that I spent my life turning buttons, because that 'it seems that it still lacks that little extra that is with only a bass / treble was the sound on a Fender ...
We can blame Rivera to an amp stuffed rglages but lack of characters. Anyway, I Motes it so the cts positive and even when it sounds good ... trs

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, I like its versatility, being able to play reasonable volume, I blame a lack of characters, a plethora of masked derrire rglages. If you have a group clctique trs, Rivera this can be an excellent choice. If you plutt your session guitarist who is asked the LE is not forcment the amp for you.
For my part, I think I would do this choice in the context of fun with my mates play Highway to Hell followed Sultans of Swing. But in the studio, I use a Fender ...

5 amp lamp in pramp: 12AX7 and 2 power: 6L6. Possde two channels: one is the one that is saturated and 2 is clear. Each channel possde a boost. There is an effects loop with adjustable input and output. Otherwise we can go from 50w 25w derrire a switch. Each channel trs modular, with several options that can not be found than Rivera. There is also a reverb, a prsence, and a focus that allows you to vary the texture of saturation. The HP is a vintage 30. Rglages trs trs complete and always helpful.

UTILIZATION

The great possibility of rglage fact that one always comes to the sound that you want, but can sometimes take time to beginners. Sometimes you persvrer, and also to vary the volume of the guitar for which he is sensitive trs. The leaflet briefly Submitted possibilities, but no more you work!

SOUNDS

This is my 3rd Rivera. I use mainly strats. First I had a twelve Hundred duo: too heavy but super sound. Fifty five twelve and a trs well, I kept prs 8 years and sold 2 years ago because I eventually ended up finding that it lacked a bit serious. I bought the Fender all-tube, of Mesa, the Fender Cybertwin, the Vox ... There is always something missing, either in clear or saturated. And finally I found in the Rothelle a good compromise. The channel is saturated vari trs. Forcment found happiness with a grain that can be varied from a bassman hot Soldano or Marshall well raucous, but always with lgance, not too acidic or too dull. To clear (which is also the crunch) we can produce a sound jazz (archtop with a great), a clear trs close to the twin or deluxe, with the perl you are looking to position Start intermdiaire good: excellent too.

OVERALL OPINION

The Rothelle trs is a good compromise in portable hardware, with sound whose quality is always excellent. You can touch everything with this amp. Almost in the same genre, there is also the Fandango, which I did not choose because I like the less HP the destiny rather large saturation peak, with EL34, which is closer in grain Rivera of the other 2 I had before.
In addition to its Aesthetics trs treats, we also emphasize the quality of manufacturing! We are far from made in China, for a price that is still seen along raliste use it can do.
With sufficient power to the studio early scne, 4 sounds Varis foot, a good connection for the loop, direct output or to a slave amp, etc ... I think I will keep this one.
