I’ve been using a Rivera S120 since the early 90’s. That’s gigging almost every weekend and I still gig a couple times a month and never ever had one problem. Absolutely bulletproof. Great amps.
I have heard alot of good things about Pauls amp designs and they dont have to be serviced for years because of the quality of caps and resistors and tubes that he insists to use so you pay a little more but its pure quality and sound and a touring musician needs that
That amp kicks🫏! Back in the late ‘80s, I had a chance to talk to Paul Rivera. I had just tried a 60-watt amp of his, loved the sound, but I couldn’t lift it-it weighed more than a Twin Reverb. I asked him if he could make them any lighter, and he said, “Well, we could use titanium for the chassis, put in neodymiun speakers, and some exotic alloy for the transformers; we might save four or five pounds, and it would cost twenty thousand dollars.” We both had a good laugh over that! But, Paul, I think you might have come close with this little 1-10” twenty-watter. Only thing I’d wonder about is whether 20 watts would be enough to stay clean and still keep up with a drummer!
Michael you did an amazing job on this amp, I’d love one of these, such an amazing tone!! Lemmo, smooth as always, Norman you’re such a lovely person.. wish you all the best 💐
Top man, Paul Rivera! My R-30 is still the best sounding amp I've ever owned - I was lucky enough to meet him a couple of times back then in my PR days...
This guy designed the Fender deluxe reverb and this new Rivera amp kicks ass. The tone of the SG played by the incomparable Michael Lemmo really demonstrate this amp's capabilities. This is Paul Rivera's crowning moment in combo amps! Clubster 10 I want one.
@@campfirecroonerI prefer the blackface or even Silverface for the later Rivera but this little thing sounds great. Great player and guitar adds the magic.
My dream amp right there. Clean headroom crisp tight sound, everything most amps don't have. Did I mention killer reverb like I've never heard coming from anything but a Fender.
It's so cute! yeah, a wolf in sheep's clothing ;) About 15 years ago, i stop by a local shop and see A Super Champ. Just read about them but never saw one. Plugged in and it screamed!! Get the green light from The Missus and go back the next weekend to buy it and it's gone..."The seller changed his mind and took it back" man... Buy a Blues Jr. Wound up selling that a few later but if i'd bought The Super Champ, I'm pretty sure it would still be here. It was a great amp. Rock on, crew!!
I have a Rivera Clubster Royale Recording Top -25w, and it is the best sounding amp ever! Everyone who hears it is stunned. What a killer like combo amp. Paul makes such wonderful sounding amps. If you ever want to take it up a notch - thrown an old NOS RCA Blackplate or three in there and hear it come alive!!
My favorite lead tone on a Super Champ is to leave it on the rhythm channel , preamp on 10 and pull the mid boost . Good lead tone and the reverb is normal .
I have an older M60 Rivera. It sounds good and I like it, but for me there is too much there. So much switching and triode to pentode, Hi and Lo output modes etc. Sometimes, simple is better. Paul seems to like having a lot of options built into his amps.
I hate to be contrarian since this looks like a pretty sweet little amp, but unless you really need a tiny amp, why wouldn’t you choose the Stage IV for the same price with more features?
Seems like he thought of everything. If he designed it . . . it must sound phenomenal. These days it's all about lightweight, compact and portability. Gigging is a Drag when you're Lugging heavy back-breaking gear. Sound fantastic.
Michael could plug his guitar into just about anything & still sound incredible
That amp is pure TONE. Wow! Paul Rivera is such a passionate creator

Norm you look great, doing what you love keeps the Blues at bay.
Sounds beautiful with Mike playing through it.

These guys are dangerous in the same room together!
As a chaperone, you need to be on your toes all the time Jen!
Beautiful Amp Paul!
That little amp is a pure dynamo. A real game changer. TOO cool!
Yes... but only if you get exact this showcase amp. Cool?
Michael can make any amp sound fantastic.
Michael you did an amazing job on this amp, I’d love one of these, such an amazing tone!! Lemmo, smooth as always, Norman you’re such a lovely person.. wish you all the best 💐

The Deluxe Reverb was designed a decade before Rivera started working in amplification.
@@darwinsaye he improved it. Is what I meant to say.
@@campfirecroonerI prefer the blackface or even Silverface for the later Rivera but this little thing sounds great. Great player and guitar adds the magic.
That is one of the best sounding Amps i've heard in a LONG time. And i've heard a ton. Wow
Thats a type of is pure sound ive not heard before.must be a little gem
My dream amp right there. Clean headroom crisp tight sound, everything most amps don't have. Did I mention killer reverb like I've never heard coming from anything but a Fender.
Awesome amp. Love Rivera amps. I’ve got a pubster 25 and it’s killer
Back in the 80's I had a Rivera R-55 that thing was a monster killer. EL-34 tubes and a 1x12" speaker that could crush most half stacks 😂
It's so cute! yeah, a wolf in sheep's clothing ;)

Sounds incredible
Small...light weight...and powerful...Like the MarkBass
Bass Amps for Bass players...Small light weight...and powerful...no more lugging huge heavy amps ...a win win 👍💯✌
Oh that amp sounds absolutely heavenly! I would love a small amp that sounds this great.
I really want one! That is the best thro and go amp I've ever seen.

Thank you Norm for bringing more amp goodness to the guitar world
Paul Rivera is a legend!
Nice playing man! Amp sounds great
LOVE THE CREAM💯
I LOVE YOU NORM. I LOVE YOU MIKE. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
the super champ is a brilliant piece of work. i still have mine
Wow, how versatile!
Love the family style vibes my friends.
Rivers’s the man of amps. Very true. My style.
one of the better sounding new amps period.
Fantastic amp from a fantastic amp maker. For those complaining about pricing - your problem is you want a MB S560 at used Yugo prices. Geezus…
My favorite lead tone on a Super Champ is to leave it on the rhythm channel , preamp on 10 and pull the mid boost . Good lead tone and the reverb is normal .
That's a great idea for an amp, and it sounds great!
Friggin awesome range and sound!!!
thank you Norm! I collect little amps and Iove pairing them together for wet/dry stereo setups and I would love to have that amp! Sounds great!
Very cool! I used to own a blonde Rivera Fandango and it was an amazing amp, probably one of the best I’ve had, wish I never parted with it!
How am I just hearing about this amp now? Tim Pierce turned me on to it. Still available?
SGs are killer😊
sounds killer!
@ 5:45 Clapton, totally!
Lovely sounding amp
I can't remember when I last watched a product demo and found it on the website.
Everything a guitarist needs in one amp - when can I get one?
Where are they?!
It sounds great!! I am ordering one 😊
The amp is the fender one side and Marshall ?
Wow, that is amazing!
Totally dig it!

Nice Amp. Is this one of a kind? or going into production? This amp is blowing my mind
Cool!!! All in one🤘💜
Brilliant!
Sounds really good
Paul is The Man... I would like to hear it put threw it's paces a lil more But.. I'm Confident that it will really get it done..
I want one!
How can I get one?
So how do I buy one from Australia huh?
iwant to know where did you get those green sneakers? what brand?
There is no amp category on your website. How does a guy buy this?

Is this amp available? I’m definitely interested.
I looked- can’t find one 😢
Same. It's not even on the Rivera website.
Good luck finding one. 😮
The Pompatus of Amps.
Hi, I broke my neck, can only use small amps, wish I could be one.
Never mentioned the speaker
Who do I send the money to!😃
We needed more Lemmo for the Demo !! 😂👍
A COOL FULL EXPRESSIVE AMP PAUL
Awesome amps...just made them too available.
That Little White 🐘Elephant in the Room sounds monstreous! What a sound! I'm gonna check this little puppy out.✊😃
Tube Amp Tuesday...hmmm........not bad.🎸👍
love to have one.. but a bit pricey..
I'm guessing it has a 10" speaker?
Beautiful sounding amp!!! I REGRET selling my Clubster "25" !!!!
20 Root Mean Square watts. The man’s a household name in the amp world.
someone should make a Chubster Royal 10
im very sad I missed out on this
Wow what a nice Amp,very flexible! Lots of yummy features. Bam!
The new GOTD demo amp? You wouldn't need anything else!
Explain it in layman's term i just know it sounds good. Wow it sounds sounds really good
Wow, for $25.99 I’m in. 😎
How much do they weigh ?
looks about 38
So this amp is ONLY available in the USA ?! in this store ONLY ? bad news for the European market !!!!
Did I miss the weight of this amp?
It's got tubes can't bet glass
Great amp! But a little pricey for me
That’s the best way to demo a amp no mic just what you hear in the room ..Wow it’s pricy though.
Did Norm say $25.99?
I'll have four
No, $2,599 !
One of these days..
great amp...but no where to buy 。。。。
super
fantastic sounding amp. Spunds expensive
$2,600 ?
Is it hand wired ?
Hopefully this new amp doesn't use a 6C10 tube...
