Description

A 2005 Rivera Venus 3 tube combo amp in fantastic condition. With 15 or 7 watts of Class A output and a simple control set, the Venus 3 is perfect for dialing in vintage-inspired tube crunch at moderate volume levels. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds great. Includes custom padded cover.

From Rivera...

Venus 3 is a compact and lightweight master of tone. Easy to use, with the simplicity of a single channel and adjustable gain boost, 3 band equalization controls and the trademark Rivera Notch switch to choose between vintage tweed, and vintage black face tones.

With two 12AX7 tubes, great headroom for clean playing is easily dialed- in, and with the push-pull gain boost feature the available gain and distortion will allow sustain for days. Every nuance of your note will enveloped in a rich harmonic sweetness that the 15 Watt 2-6V6GT Class A power amp section delivers to a 1-12" Celestion G12- Heritage 30 speaker. Although the Venus3 is compact, it is huge on sound, and you will be amazed at how much clean bottom end warmth can be found. Add spaciousness and long lush decay to your instrument with the built-in Accutronics 3 spring reverb. A Presence control adds the final touch of high end brilliance. Power and Standby switches as well as the pilot light are conveniently located on the front panel.
