All
of the heat producing key components of Rivera's new Venus™ 6
amplifier have been mounted on a industrial sized heatsink and
are on the outer surface
of the chassis.
The USA made transformers are oversized and are rated for at least double the
power output of the Venus 6.
Rivera is the first to make a small idle current adjustment possible with the
Class A circuit, allowing a wider range of tubes to be set to the correct idle
current, again, assisting in reliability and field maintenance.
Featuring a five 12AX7 tube preamp configuration with two independent Channels,
each with it’s own footswitchable boost
.
Channel 1 is a high gain and British inspired lead channel. Gobs of sweet
sustain and loads of crunch can be dialed up easily. Channel 2 is a Rhythm
and Blues
channel, with a the best of classic 60’s American tone. Additional
eq options include a bright switch and a selectable midrange notch.
Long pan Accutronics Reverb that is tube followed fills in the palette of tones
with that sweet and spanky sounding delay.
An assignable and footswitchable effects loop that is fully buffered allows the
interfacing with almost any kind of outboard effects device.
Coupled with a Class A Power Amplifier that is energized by 6V6GT (4) Tubes,
this 35Watt RMS amp has enough headroom to cut most gigs, and with a fat bodied
warmth that breathes like a Goddess of love that it is. 6V6GTs are well known
to have spectacular tone, and excellent reliability, rivaling the classic yet
unstable EL-84. A Vintage or Modern switch allows selection of full or half output
power levels.
This is also the debut of the newly released Celestion G12-Heritage 30 in
a Rivera Combo amplifier. Available in a 1-12” or 2-12” Combo configuration
with Celestion G12-Heritage 30 speakers, or as a Top. Extension cabinets are
available in 1-12” and 2-12” open back, 2-12” Closed Back,
and 4-12” slant and straight models.
Standard colors are pearl white with a vintage gold grille, or Black with a vintage
gold grille. Optional colors include Ruby Red, Cobalt Blue, Palomino, and British
vintage green.
