Rivera Sedona Lite-55w112 Black
Rivera · amplifier
The Rivera Sedona Lite is a 55-watt 1x12 combo, a lighter-weight version of the Sedona line from Paul Rivera's boutique amplifier company. Rivera built its reputation on the Fender Twin Reverb-influenced designs Rivera engineered before starting his own company, and the Sedona carries that clean-American lineage. The Lite designation typically indicates a reduced-weight cabinet and lighter transformer set rather than a different circuit. It suits blues and roots players wanting Rivera's clean American voicing in a more portable format.
