Rivera Sedona Acoustic-Electric Amp

[Spadaro Paolo]

A recent video published by Norman Rare Guitar, the fantastic vintage instrument shop in California, inspired me to make this video.
The star is this stunning and rare tube amplifier for acoustic and electric guitars!!!
Paul Rivera, in fact, tells Norman and Lemmo that the idea to design and develop this gem came when the legendary fingerstyle guitar Doyle Dykes showed up at Rivera’s labs, carrying a Telecaster and a Taylor acoustic, and asked Paul to invent an amp that could amplify both. Thus, the Sedona amplifier line was born, with unique features loke the switchable tweeter, anti-feedback circuitry, and balanced input (channel 1) for acoustic guitars with ES system, like my Taylor 814CE.

That sure sounds great on all those guitars and your playing was great, too. I enjoyed all of those songs. I'm sure you're really happy with that amp, Paolo.
Take care.
