Been looking into these for awhile and have seen a few in the local shops. The Deluxe Reverb II and the Concert II both look pretty cool...channel switching, voiced towards a Mesa on the second channel, etc.

Anyone own, play, or know much on these Rivera Era Fenders?

rivera era fender? i have never heard of such a thing.
altho when i was in hollywood i saw a fender twin reverb II, i think it was from 83 or something like that, it was heavey as balls@! and only costs like 700 bucks or something.

What years are you talking about?

This site says 1982 to 1986

Yeah, apparently Fender brought him to do some competition/desiging to compete against Mesa in that market. They're supposed to be PTP with some heavy voiced second channels.

I didn't know their was a Twin version, but the more I'm checking them out the more they seem pretty neato.

a friend of mine uses a concert as his main amp. the reverb on it is amazing and it's got a lot of cool features. the sound just seems a little muffled to my ears. especially compared to blackface and silverface fenders.
they certainly are a great value, though. where else can you get a completely hand-wired amp with channel switching and reverb for just a few hundred bucks?

I heard a Deluxe Reverb II once. Amazing amp. I lust about one every time I remember it exists.
