Rivera Fandango 112 Pro User Price: $2199.00 • FS-7 Footswitch included
 
Fandango™ 112 model
Rivera introduces a new series of Combo amps, the Fandango™. With lead tones approaching the new Knucklehead Reverb, and rhythm and blues tones that Rivera is legendary for, here is the gorgeous looks and tone 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-34's, results in a harmonious blend of just plain outrageously great sound. The newest in Rivera's line of
handcrafted all tube amplifiers. 55 Watts of vibrant power with (2) EL-34 Output Tubes standard, and a fat and bad-ass tone when pushed. (5) 12AX7 Tube Preamp with 2 distinctly different sounding channels 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 newer modern modified amp sounds. Footswitchable 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. A serial effects loop with level controls is provided for you to patch external effects devices.
 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. • Dimensions: 23.75"x 18.5" x 12" • Weight: 65 Pounds •

Fandango™ 212 55 watt and Fandango 212 100 watt
Expanding the Fandango™ line to include two bigger brothers to the new 112, with a bigger voice of 2 Celestion G12T-75's, in a gorgeous and deep cabinet, and the option of 100 Plus Watts, here are the two new Fandango™ 212 models. A fabulous 5 12AX7 preamp section with a lead channel like the Knucklehead Reverb, coupled with a powerhouse of EL-34 Watts and Celestion speakers, housed in a lustful cabinet makes "Twin Killer" take on a new meaning. These amps are capable of handling practically any size gig. Like most Rivera amps, the Preamp Tubes are powered by a DC Filament power supply, lowering all AC filament caused hum to disappear. This costly feature will help to insure that in the case of need to service and change the 12AX7 tubes, a host of different 12AX7's may be used without increased hum (many 12AX7s have filament designs that cause hum in AC filament powered tube amps, like most Fender, Marshall, and Mesa-Boogie models).
The 100+ watt Output Stage features 4 matched EL-34 with a massive Output Transformer from the Knucklehead Reverb.  An impedance selector located on the rear panel for 4, 8, or 16 ohm loads allows correct matching with any internal and external combination of speaker loads.  Also, bottom end response is greatly enhanced by this massive audiophile quality Output Transformer.  A Line output jack is also provided for sending line level signals to PA Mixers, Recording devices, or to slave to another power amp. 
Another great Rivera feature is the Standby-Switch built into the speaker Jack #1.  This means that in the instance of inadvertently operating the amp without a load plugged into the speaker jack, you will not fear damaging the Output Transformer and Tubes/Tube sockets.  This also allows easy idle current measurement by a qualified technician when bias adjustment is necessary (all Rivera amps have an internal bias potentiometer provided).
Recalling the days of Roy Rodgers and his Palomino Horse "Trigger", the new Fandango™ 212 series comes in a color scheme that Trigger would be proud of.  Leather grained and supple beige Tolex covers the outside of the cabinet shell, and a palomino cream Tolex® accents the front grille.  The matching grill cloth is a tri-tone brown and ox-blood color.  Front "Plexi" panel and matching knobs are in a black and white color combination.
