Rivera Stage 2 or 4 mods

Post by Mark »

I was wondering if anyone has tried either of these amps or has a circuit diagram?

They sound good in various You Tube clips, but I have never seen one. I use to own a Fender Rivera Concert that I wasn’t fond of though, but I suspect they don’t compare to his mods or amps.
Yours Sincerely

There is some info here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index ... o.1828908/

Specifically, it looks like he put a switchable 220K resistor across the 3M3 reverb mix resistor for a gain boost, and added a switchable set of capacitors in place of the treble cap to allow for a selectable mid boost.

I would be interested to get more details as well -- I've searched around before and didn't find anything beyond this.

Thanks for your reply, I was unaware of the 220K across the 3.3M resistor.
They seem like a good thing and there is nothing wrong with a better Deluxe.
