The Fandango™ amp from Rivera has lead tones approaching the new Knucklehead Reverb, and rhythm and blues tones that Rivera is legendary for.
Here are the gorgeous looks and tones in a compact package that is easy to transport.
Extra deep cabinetry gives you the warm bottom end and the well balanced dynamics of the standard Celestion G12T-75.
Couple this with the thick tone of the EL-34s, results in a harmonious blend of just plain outrageously great sound.
The newest in our line of handcrafted all-tube amplifiers, the Fandango gives you 55 Watts of vibrant power with 2 x EL-34 Output Tubes standard, and a fat and bad-ass tone when pushed.
It features a 5 x 12AX7 tube preamp, with 2 distinctly different sounding channels, each with their own independent and discrete 3 band EQ.
Tones ranging from the tweed of tweeds, to as brown or blackface as you like it.
Channel 1, the lead channel, has a new feature called "Scoop".
It is a push-pull switch located on the middle control, that selects between the classic "Plexi" EQ midrange, and the more modern modified amp sounds.
Foot-switchable boosts on each channel, 6 Spring "Hammond Long Pan" reverb, and a special Focus and Presence control for speaker damping and final high frequency EQ round out the tone.
On the Focus control, is a push-pull switch "Pull Warm" feature. This activates a circuit that works to enrich the even harmonics of the output stage.
A Vintage/Modern switch on the rear panel allows the power to be cut in half and sweeten the even harmonics as well.
This will help in achieving a classic AC-30 tone.
A serial effects loop with level controls is provided to patch you into most any external effects device.
A 3-Function (FS-7) Footswitch is included.
The Cabinet is built of hardwood plywood, and finished in either a black Tolex with matching Di-Tone black and silver grille cloth with a black Tolex band on the top of the grille, or blonde Tolex with vintage blonde grille cloth and matching blonde Tolex band on the grille top.
A comfortable padded leatherette strap handle, rugged chrome corners, and heavy duty rubber feet make easy daily transport.
"Plexi" front panels are available in either silver nomenclature on a black background with black knobs and white numbers, or brown and champagne beige "Plexi" front panel with brown knobs hand-painted with champagne beige numbering.
