Fender 68' Deluxe Reverb Reissue Modified by Rivera Amplification Demo

Here's a demo of a Modified by Rivera Fender 68' Deluxe Reverb reissue. Available only from Sweetwater Music. This is a recreation of the mods made famously by Session guitarists in the late 70's through the 80's and that were used on thousands of hits. Including Michael Jackson's "Beat it Riff"/
Back then Session Guitarists need multiple tones from clean to mean in one amp.
Later, Paul Rivera brought some of these features to his Fender designs.
Mods include:
-Separating Channel 1 from Channel 2 making it a 2 channel amp
-Clean channel modded for more headroom, clearing up the flubby bottom, adding treble bright and middle notch for 4 distinct tones.
-Adding Master control with Pull for Gain, Presence, 6 position Fat switch for thickening the higher strings. Treble bright and mid notch added to that channel as well.
-Hum adjust added to match all types of preamp tube brands.

At last, a nice demo with someone playing with some SOUL!. and not sounding institutionalized.

[@forester057]

That SRV song clean at the end is the tone! So good.

[@johns1139]

This demo sounds so much better than Sweetwater's!

[@-thirteen]

Sweetwater makes the worst demos.

Also, the “Beat It” amp.

[@richfiryn]

I'll take 2 please, because this would just sound sick split on stage.

[@steveyraynelson]

How clean will it stay vs the 68 Custom Reissue? That's what I need onstage!

[@javiceres]

How I wish they were sold in Europe as well...

Stan Laurel? Is that you?!?!??!

[@misteramx1]

at 1:56 it says volume and master pulled for higher gain lead tones but the volume knob doesn't pull out like the master volume does,...maybe they just meant "master volume" pulled ? and I still wonder why they removed the reverb and tremolo from the rhythm channel.Very cool amp Paul-tip of the hat.I now wonder if it could have a little reverb switch hidden in the back which could allow the user to assign the reverb and tremolo to ch.1,2 or both like other current Rivera amps.

[@misteramx1]

Reverb and Tremolo has been removed from the rhythm channel to make it a true 2 channel amp it is only active on the lead channel now-and yes the speed and depth controls are relocated to the back for the lead channel-very cool amp ! Think I'll be interested in if it's possible to easily retie the Trem and Vibr.functions back to both channels.Again very interesting homage to His origional modded Fender Deluxes (stage 2).www.rivera.com/product/combos/fender-68-deluxe-reissue-modded-by-paul-rivera/

[@adamscottv]

The reverb not being on channel 1 is a deal breaker. Fail.

[@williamscaliarini8201]

[@dorianblunote455]

[@brich2929]

[@scampthelazycat9891]

I thought that was a girl or Don mock doing the demo

[@paulolsen6870]

Pssst.....not a reissue. Isn’t that a Vintage Modified?

[@terryantler]
