Amplifiers

By offering the Rivera and Valvetrain lines of USA-made amplifiers, we're giving the discerning guitarist contrasting approaches in philosophy that both satisfy the need for the professional or aspiring musician.

While there are some other famous "California" amplifier companies, Rivera clearly bridges the best of both worlds. By combining boutique level build quality, highly flexible controls, and stellar clean and high gain sounds, Rivera truly offers the best overall performance package in "modern" style amplifiers.

Valvetrain is on a mission to build classic hand-wired American amplifiers that are within the reach of the performing musician. Based on classic FenderŪ designs, Valvetrain's philosophy is that a well-executed simple circuit made with quality materials is the righteous path to tone. Valvetrain amplifiers exhibit that purity of sound that is hard to describe but unmistakable once you hear it.

Rivera RockCrusher Attenuator

IN STOCK - The concept of an amplifier attenuator is a great idea: An easy to use "box" that will allow the player to achieve the tone of their favorite amplifier cranked up, but at reasonable volume levels. However, there "ain't no free" and often the side effects of many attenuators include a loss of high frequency response, mushy tone, and a loss of "feel" between the player and the amplifier. Rivera took this all into consideration when designing the RockCrusher, and this product provides a boatload of useful attenuation options while maintaining accurate tone and feel.

Rivera Venus 3 Amplifier

Available in snazzy Pearl White, the Venus 3 is a 6v6 based amp that combines modern features with blackface-inspired rock tones at very useable volume levels. I give Rivera high marks for using the 6v6 power tubes instead of the ubiquitous EL84's used by so many boutique builders. The 6v6 tube puts out better bass, and nice glassy highs that are never shrill even at high volumes. Think Deluxe Reverb® but with more flexible controls and the ability to vary the headroom. Try this amp out at Barnstorm Music in Medway. MA
