Description

The Fender Rivera '68 Deluxe with Stage 2 Modifications is a stunning reinvention of the iconic '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb, meticulously upgraded for the discerning guitarist. This combo amplifier, a product of Paul Rivera's legendary expertise, offers an unparalleled blend of classic and modern tones. At its heart, the amp provides a true 2-channel experience, allowing musicians to seamlessly switch between pristine cleans and rich overdrives using an optional A/B switch. Whether you're aiming for glassy chords or searing solos, this amp delivers with remarkable clarity.

Engineered for tonal versatility, each channel is equipped with Treble "Pull Bright" and Bass "Pull Notch" controls, offering four distinct clean tone variations. Channel two features a six-position rotary Fat switch, enhancing mids and harmonic overtones, perfect for those seeking a beefier sound. The Master "Pull for Boost" control and Presence knob further expand your sonic palette, from subtle nuances to dramatic, full-bodied leads.

Completing this powerhouse package is an upgraded 12" Eminence Legend EM12 speaker, adding headroom for smoother, cleaner sustain without compromising on the classic tube spring reverb and tremolo. Designed with Rivera's meticulous attention to detail, this amp is not just an amplifier—it's a piece of musical heritage, promising reliability and superior sound quality for every session and stage performance.
