FS/FT: Rivera Thirty Twelve (R30)

What's Hot
CFHCFH Frets: 456
edited October 2020 in Amps £
As part of getting back into playing I'm moving on my brilliant Rivera Thirty Twelve in favour of something smaller.  

Paul Rivera is a legendary ex-Fender builder and these amps are very well regarded. Modelled very loosely on a blackface Fender this will do sparkling cleans through to high gain Mesa-esque tones. The cabinet is in excellent condition. It's currently loaded with an Eminence Cannabis Rex, but I will swap for the Celestion G12T-85 if desired. The specs are:

30 watts
EL34 power tubes
5x 12AX7 preamp tubes
12" Custom Rivera Celestion G12T-85 or Eminence Cannabis Rex
High and low inputs
Two foot-switchable channels
Each channel has a foot-switchable boost 
Channel two has an mid notch option
Spring Reverb

I'm looking for £450 or trades for a similar quality small valve amp (cash either way), or decent delay/reverb pedals. I'm new to this forum, but very happy to share details of my 300+ positive ebay feedback.

The amp has just been serviced and received a clean bill of health. 

Collection much preferred from Leeds/York. 

Thanks for looking

    I had 3 Rivera’s, firstly a Clubster 45, then an R30 (in fact it might be your one, did you get it from someone on here) and then I sold it to “trade up” to a Chubster 40. Except that on reflection the R30 had the best drive channel of all of them..

    @DrBob I got it from a friend about ten years ago, not on the forum - but yes, I agree that these are excellent amps. The gain and clean channels are brilliant. I'd say it would be tough to beat as an all round gigging amp.

  • These are great amps, this model in particular, lot of amp for that kind of price, although I don't think it's handwired. IIRC they are built using some kind of space shuttle military grade PCB. Not that it makes any difference, still fantastic value & quality. I've had 2 and a band mate have the r30. Always sounded the dogs ....

    As he has just bought my Haar S-Type, I can confirm that @CFH is a good trustworthy guy to deal with - and we both needed plenty of patience today whilst waiting for Barclays to sort out their banking App. An hour and a half to confirm that the money had transferred....
