An All-tube Studio Combo Designed for Jazz Guitars

Created and designed to be played with archtops, the Rivera Suprema Jazz Recording amp delivers a huge, warm tone with tons of headroom. A half-power switch and a built-in Mini-RockRec cab simulator with six speaker voicings make this all-tube combo perfect for the studio. Rivera loaded the Suprema Jazz Recording with a large selection of controls, so you can dial in your exact tone. Notch tames bothersome feedback, Fat provides a low-end boost, Bright adds shimmer to your top end, and Focus tightens your speaker, which is great for boomy-sounding rooms. Find that all-tube jazz tone you have been searching for with the Rivera Suprema Jazz Recording.

An amplifier built just for jazz

Rivera set out to build the Suprema Jazz Recording as the ideal jazz guitar amplifier. This 55-watt 1 x 15-inch amp was designed for maximum headroom and smooth tone. Typical electric guitar amps break up when pushed hard, but not the Suprema Jazz Recording. It has tons of clean headroom. The well-thought-out controls let you dial in any tone you might need quickly and easily. The Rivera Suprema Jazz Recording is the archtop player's dream come true.

Sweeten your tone with classic spring reverb

Few people understand spring reverb the way that the engineers at Accutronics do, and it's one of their remarkable reverb units that lets you dial in lush and dimensional guitar tone right inside your Rivera Suprema Jazz Recording combo amp. This 3-spring reverb features a long and remarkably vibrant decay, and when you kick up the Suprema Jazz Recording's presence control you can easily create bright and brilliant clean tones with the perfect touch of shimmer. The guitarists here at Sweetwater can't get enough of the lush ambience provided by the Suprema Jazz Recording's Accutronics reverb.

Advanced I/O options with built-in cab sim

Loaded with all of the useful connections you need, the Rivera Suprema Jazz Recording combo lets you configure your guitar rig any way you like. For starters, the Suprema Jazz Recording's built-in Mini-RockRec speaker emulator makes recording easy by providing you with a direct output and six speaker voicings.

Rivera design and quality in a state-of-the-art combo amp

The name Rivera has been synonymous with cutting edge design in the ratified world of top end amplification for decades. Specializing in best of class components for their all tube line, the craftsmanship and commitment to the highest standards is evident in this five star performer.

This model was conceived as the ultimate amp match for arch top guitars, hence the name Jazz Suprema. The Recording part of the name has to do with additions to the Suprema model that make this variation the choice for flexible recording. Read up on the specs to learn what is offered feature-wise.

As someone who plays an arch top fingerstyle and barehanded, I find the sonic qualities of this amp are superb. With a 15" transducer, the thump on the low end is full, clear and satisfying. Top end is crystalline with Presence dialed up, but without the harsh shrillness that solid state amps have so much trouble taming.

While this amp was designed to offer the maximum amount of clean headroom, the EL6 tube configuration has the beefy, harmonic rich overtones that make single lines sustain naturally; never thin or reedy, full chords sound fantastic and the overall balance is almost impossible to screw up.

This is an amp that may be overlooked as being a jazz-only choice but anyone who wants maximum clean headroom in an amp that will cut through a mix without sounding tinny may find this worth investigating.

Not inexpensive by any means, this is an amp that you are likely going to look at as part of your sound for many years down the road. It is a unique design concept that somehow manages to escape being a one trick pony.
Music background: Professional for over 40 years, solo guitarist for 15 years.
