The Charter Oak m900t is a vintage-style small-diaphragm tube pencil microphone that has a warm, thick midrange, and very tame and subdued top end. However, as a small diaphragm mic, this Charter Oak microphone is an excellent choice where you want to retain detail in a non-harsh way. Even when put through our clean preamp, the Millennia HV3, there was no real harshness that you'd typically expect from a small diaphragm mic. It possesses a warm vintage tonailty, but doesn't lack on detail, which makes it an interesting and great choice here for electric guitars. It is particularly impressive in the way that it can capture clean tones, and loads of reverb detail, but at the same time, doesn't suffer when the amp gets dialed up to some more aggressive distorted electric guitar tones. It's a real workhorse, as it performs wonderfully well on lots of applications from finger-style acoustic guitar, to drum overheads, grand piano, and even here on electric guitars. If you'd like to discuss the microphone, please don't hesitate to give one of our recording experts here a call anytime, toll free at 888.528.9703, or international, +1 919.682.5552.

What we think:

Rivera's first Class A amplifier is an amazing and inspiring tool in the right hands. Plenty loud for most gigs and a great studio amp with plenty of pull knobs for a very flexible EQ. We find the vintage/modern switch to be very usefull as it's nice to go to half power from time to time! Adds thickness and drive at lower wattage.

If you have any questions about this 1x12 combo, feel free to call or email Sound Pure today!

Specs:

Class “A” powered by a quartet of 6V6’s
2 Channels with Boosts on each Channel
Footswitchable and assignable FX loop

Description:

Rivera is proud to release it's first all Class A amplifier, the Venus 6.

Designed with magnificent tone and cool running in mind, this new amplifier embodies the Rivera ideal of fabulous sound with outstanding reliability.

All of the heat producing key components of our new Venus 6 amplifier have been mounted on a industrial sized heatsink and are on the outer surface of the chassis.

The USA made transformers are oversized and are rated for at least double the power output of the Venus 6.

Rivera is the first to make a small idle current adjustment possible with the Class A circuit, allowing a wider range of tubes to be set to the correct idle current, again, assisting in reliability and field maintenance.

Featuring a five 12AX7 tube preamp configuration with two independent Channels, each with it?s own footswitchable boost.

Channel 1 is a high gain and British inspired lead channel. Gobs of sweet sustain and loads of crunch can be dialed up easily. Channel 2 is a Rhythm and Blues channel, with a the best of classic 60ss American tone. Additional eq options include a bright switch and a selectable midrange notch.

Long pan Accutronics Reverb that is tube followed fills in the palette of tones with that sweet and spanky sounding delay.

An assignable and footswitchable effects loop that is fully buffered allows the interfacing with almost any kind of outboard effects device.

Coupled with a Class A Power Amplifier that is energized by 6V6GT (4) Tubes, this 35Watt RMS amp has enough headroom to cut most gigs, and with a fat bodied warmth that breathes like a Goddess of love that it is. 6V6GTs are well known to have spectacular tone, and excellent reliability, rivaling the classic yet unstable EL-84. A Vintage or Modern switch allows selection of full or half output power levels.

This is also the debut of the newly released Celestion G12-Heritage 30 in a Rivera Combo amplifier. Available in a 1-12 or 2-12 Combo configuration with Celestion G12-Heritage 30 speakers, or as a Top. Extension cabinets are available in 1-12 and 2-12 open back, 2-12 Closed Back, and 4-12 slant and straight models.

Standard colors are pearl white with a vintage gold grille, or Black with a vintage gold grille. Optional colors include Ruby Red, Cobalt Blue, Palomino, and British vintage green.
