Rivera Jazz Suprema Amplifier (zoom)

Made especially for carved archtops. An upgrade of the amp that Wes used in the 60’s. Wes used a retrofit Fender 60’s Blackface Princeton Reverb with an Alnico 15, which I’ve been using for the last 2 years and this Rivera kills the Wes retrofit. Clean tube warmth and killer punch. This combo amp is a modified version of the award winning Rivera R Series channel switching chassis, with 55 watts of EL-34 power, fitted with a Jensen Alnico 15 speaker. Tons of smooth bottom end, creamy mids, and sweet highs, and tremendous killer punch!

Jazz Suprema 15
I have been looking for an amplifier that would just amplify my archtops and not color the sound. Playing for 40+ years I have finally found it, a Rivera Jazz Suprema 15! Thanks so much for your recommendation.

Whether playing my L5 or my Benedetto, the sound coming from this amp actually sounds like the guitar itself. My archtops no longer sound like a Fender Twin or Mesa Boogie.

Thanks again!

Jazz Suprema 15
The Rivera Jazz Suprema 15 is a 10 out of 10 in all departments. In my opinion it's the best archtop jazz tone available at any price.

Thanks for your help and a great price. It produces a variety of great natural tones with plenty of power and punch for any room. Fit, finish, construction are as good as I've seen and all of that at 40 lbs. defies belief.

Delivery was prompt and packaging was bombproof. Thanks again for the great advice and deal. I would recommend this amp to anyone as a first choice to archtop players wanting the most authentic jazz tone!
