1X12 combo made in USA, 5 12AX7 in prampli, 2 EL34 tubes in power (the DD in my case), an HP Celestion Vintage 30 (an option that may apply), black Tolex finish and golden gate , class. Effects loop (not adjustable) and no control supplmentaire HP (damage). The amp breathes quality full-face and shows.
UTILIZATION
The manual is provided in English but who cares. The knobs are rglages of hyper prcis like all Rivera. We can sculpt and refine the sound with great precision. The amp possde two channels: a typical Marshall and a Fender typ. Each channel its legalization, gain and master volume. There is a beautiful reverb trs who does his job (exploitable, I find on my old Clubster 35).
SOUNDS
I play mostly blues, pop and rock (no mtal) on my Stratocaster Vintage 62 (with microphones mounted Fralin vintage hot). I always get beautiful clear tone or overdrive. The amp is extremely dynamic and ractif the nuances of the game, he always respects the grain of the guitar. Its strength remains even when the sounds are clear, for which Rivera is well known: it is hot, sharp and sweet time, lens, simply superb.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months to replace my old Rivera, a small Clubster 25 (he is also a small bomb). The Chubster is more complete, with a quip 12 (30 vintage and more), it sends more bass and clear channel rglages are more complete. I appreciate the overall sound quality and manufacturing at the top. I regret, however, the lack of output supplmentaire HP (I was told that a qualified technician can add it in 10 minutes). Remember that the amp is small and reasonably heavy (20kg), so easily transportable. Without hsiter, I do it again this election and I will stay home Rivera for a while yet (can be a Rothelle who knows ...)
