This is a hard to find Rivera Rake Reverb head that was built in 1997.
The Rake is regarded by many, as the best sounding Rivera amp ever made.
The amp features channel switching via pull-pot switches on the front panel or via footswitch. There are two distinct channels (Channel 1 is 'Marshall' voiced and Channel 2 is 'Fender' voiced) - each with its own volume, tone stack (bass, mid, treble), switchable boost (via pull-pot or footswitch), and master volume. Channel 2 also has a mid frequency shift switch (pull-pot switches). There is a Presence control that affects both channels. On the back panel there is a Modern/Vintage switch that changes the output tube operation between pentode (full power, 55w) and triode (30w - warmer, smoother, enhanced even order harmonics). There is also a line out jack, an output impedance switch (4,8,16 ohm), two speaker out jacks, and an active series effects loop with send and receive level controls. Head is in great shape ,has little rough spot on front grill bottom right but otherwise great condition for age. This is a very toneful amp offering a great deal of flexibility and plenty of clean headroom. Power Tubes EL34's. Includes power cord and original FS-7 footswitch. This head is the best fender cleans and Marshall crunch, in one box. Back panel screws and washers included - off for picture -
This amp has been serviced by- Andy Fuchs- of Fuchs Audio- for new filter caps (it was time) and a overall check up. $350 value
Andy went over the whole amp- new set of JJ-EL34's. Amp is ready to go on tour. Front grill showing some wear but, amp is in great shape (see pics)
