The Rivera Sedona Lite, 55-watt, acoustic/electric guitar 1x12 combo amp. All tube, 2-channel, balanced input on one channel (for Taylor Guitars, or mic), with pan reverb, pull-notch switch, pull-bright switch, pull-switch for anti-feedback EQ, separate controls for each channel, line out, loop, tweeter,....well, you can read all the specs online, it is packed.

I have only had it for a few days, and I believe I have figured out the settings, for the most part, and all I can say is wow! It is like an acoustic match made in heaven, fantastic sound for acoustic guitars. I haven't tried it with a solid body yet, but it is supposed to be very clean......and I'll find out soon enough. I am thrilled with this amp! 8)

I doubt that Lucas McCain ever wore a sport jacket as part of the wardrobe for "The Rifleman".

Nice looking amp. As to the great debate on what is playing behind it on the TV I have not a single clue!

So what is the verdict now that you have had it awhile? I am looking at this and a AER 60/3.

I am still thrilled with the amp, been using it a lot. As impressive as it is with acoustic, it is equally impressive with a solid body electric. I plugged in my Am Deluxe HSS and was a little surprised at the sounds I could get. With the volume on the amp low, using single-coils, the sound is very clean and clear, but when cranked (above 7), and using the hum-bucker, I can get some very smooth, woolly, bluesy breakup. The sound with an electric is very similar to a JTM 45, but with woollier low-end when cranked. I can go from breakup to clean just by using the volume knob on the guitar. I have kept my acoustic plugged into channel 1, and an electric plugged into channel 2. That way I can switch back and forth easily, being as each channel has separate controls. That is, until the battery ran down in my acoustic, which reminded me to unplug it when not in use. :oops:

Just simply a fantastic, solidly built amp. There is not another all-tube acoustic amp in the same league as the Rivera. In fact, I haven't seen any other all-tube amp for acoustic guitar. I really wish I had two more hands so I could give it 4 thumbs up! :D 8)

Makes one wonder why FMIC let Paul Rivera go......
