Rivera Hand Wired Tube Amp! Made In USA!
This is really cool. You are looking at a Vintage 1984 Fender Concert II 1x12 Combo Amp. Designed by Legendary Amp Designer Paul Rivera. The Rivera Era Amps built from 1982 to 1987, had the distinction of being the last production hand wired amp Fender built. From The Web:One of the last stock, point-to-point, hand-wired Fender amps made in the USA. Belonging to the "II" series of amps produced during Fender's "Rivera" era. A two channel amp featuring a pair of 6L6 that produce 60 watts, a solid-state rectifier, a preamp utilizing the 7025, (12AX7), tube, a tube reverb section that works on both channels using a 12AT7 for the reverb driver and a 7025 for the reverb recovery and a tube driven effects loop that also uses a 7025. The Concert's two channels each have a separate tone stack. Channel one is pure Fender clean with controls for Volume, (pull for bright), treble and bass. Unlike the '60s Concert, the II series Concert's channel two is a high gain channel with controls for Volume, (pull for channel switch), Gain, Master Volume, Treble, Mid, (pull for boost), Bass, Reverb and Presence. The channels share high and low inputs and standby / power switches. This combo is the 1 X 12 version with a Jensen speaker on board.  With it's black face and silver grill cloth it gives the appearance of a '60s model Fender while hiding it's gain potential.
A stock, point-to-point, hand-wired amp with separate tone controls for each channel and a tube reverb that can be used on either channel along with a tube driven effects loop.Cleans that are just like what you'd expect from Fender's earlier blackface designs.A gain channel that sounds somewhat like a Mesa Mark II with a little less low end and a slight dip in the mids, (which the boost feature restores). Channel two can go from almost clean bluesy gain right up to the Mesa voiced gain from around the late '70s / early '80s. It creates a beautiful "Santana" tone with the boost on and sounds very '70s Aerosmith, Styx, Journey when the boost isn't engaged. As a player I prefer a smooth over crunchy gain. The concert's gain starts out a little crunchy on lower settings but smooth out nicely with the gain knob between 6 and 7 1/2. Going higher seems to add some of the crunch back in. Think Mesa rather than Marshall.Lastly, it's "presence" control is actually quite striking in the range of it's sweep. More so than on any Mesa or Marshall I've ever played. It can go from a "vocal background" to an "in your face" punch. On most amps with a presence control I tend to set it and forget about it. On the Concert I use it right along with the tone controls when making voice adjustments.This 60 Watt Tube Amp with it's iconic push/pulls is an awesome amp for gigging. Compact and portable. Will handle mid size venues easily. This is the Amp series that really put Amp Guru Paul Rivera on the map. Cool Stuff!
