  5. Performance

  6. This is a little 40 watt all tube amp that absolutely cooks! It’s loaded with a Celestion and it sounds like 100 watts. I play a lot of jazzy stuff with a big jazz archtop box plugged in, and it is fantastic.

  7. Performance Rating: 10

  8. Sound Quality

  9. This amp is typical Rivera. Sounds like the old Fender amps with tube rectifies. It is sweet with my Guild/DeArmond X 155 or my Strat or anything else I have plugged into it. A really fat sound.

  10. Sound Quality Rating: 10

  11. Construction

  12. I have had this amp for a short time as I got it used. Retails for eleven-something and discount stores have it for $949. I have banged it around a little but no problems. Inside of cabinet looks very solid. Built like a tank. I want to rate it a 10 cause I think it will be, but it’s too new to tell. Rivera has a reputation for reliability from what I understand. I’ll be fair and rate it a little lower.

  13. Construction Rating: 8
