Rivera Sedona Lite Acoustic/Electric Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Great tube sound live or in the studio
  • Feedback-fighting equalizer and 6-spring reverb onboard
  • The perfect amplifier for your Taylor Expression System
Great tube sound live or in the studio

The Sedona Lite gives both your acoustic and your electric guitar amazing tube tone. In fact, it sounds so good, you'll want to use it in the studio as well as onstage. That's why Rivera gave the Sedona Lite a built-in rear-panel tube direct box output. This balanced direct output features a Cinemag transformer and an all-tube signal path, letting you record or run direct to the house system, without sacrificing your tone.

Feedback-fighting equalizer and 6-spring reverb onboard

Feedback is always an issue, when you plug in an acoustic guitar onstage. That's why Rivera gave the Sedona Lite a powerful anti-feedback equalizer that's tough on drone and squeal, but light on your tone. And when it comes to natural-sounding reverb, noting beats the Sedona Lite's long-pan, 6-spring Accutronics reverb.

The perfect amplifier for your Taylor Expression System

Play a Taylor T5 or other model that's equipped with a Taylor Expression System onboard? Rivera built this Sedona Lite with your guitar in mind! Thanks to the Sedona Lite's special ES-ready input, your Taylor guitar will sound fatter and warmer than ever before.

Great for modeling

I've had this amp for several years. It was a gift from my wife for an acoustic amp and it sounds great with my j45,however when I plugged in my electric I was underwhelmed. Recently I bought a pod 6 go and I gave it another shot. I started with channel 2 which is for electric and the sound was good but not anything to write home about. I plugged in to the balanced acoustic channel (with the tweeter engaged)and was completely blown away. I haven't played electric in a few years but and I'm out of the loop but this amp sounds incredible and very loud with a modeling amp. I give it 5 stars

Rivera Sedona Lite 55

I have been buying guitars and amps since 1964 so I've seen a lot. In my younger days I leaned more toward solid body electrics in the bands in which I played but in recent years I've become more of a one man band and I play mostly acoustic. A few years back I bit the bullet and purchased a Rivera Sedona Lite based on reputation because I had never played through one before I received mine. My best description is its the best amp I've ever owned. When I played in bands I used a Rowland JC 120 and that was my favorite amp for that but for acoustic guitar this Rivera is beyond amazing with any acoustic guitar faithfully preproducing the natural sound like nothing I've ever heard. Sometime later I purchased a Takamine Santa Fe with the cool tube preamp and I also added the Takamine Triax pickup fed thru the aux input on the preamp. The combination of this guitar with the cool tube preamp and aux pickup played thru the Rivera Sedona Amp is the most amazing thing ever. You would have to hear this combination to appreciate it. It sounds as natural through the amp as it does unplugged and just a few short years ago I would not have believed that was possible.

Awesome Acoustic Amp

I was looking for an amp that would complement the quality of tone from my Martin GPCPA1 Plus and that I could also use with my Gibson LPC. With the martin, this amp can provide tone that sounds identical to unplugged with higher volume. Then, if you want to shape the amplified tone, there is plenty of tone shaping available via a generous set of adjustments. As a bonus, I can turn off the tweeter in the back and plug in my LPC with or w/o an overdrive pedal and enjoy incredible electric tone.

Really happy with this amp. Was recommended for my Martin by my Sweetwater Engineer and I could not agree more! A great recommendation and purchase. The build quality is evident when you pick up and move this amp. I am confident this equipment will be with me for years to come.

Worth Every Penny!

Wow! Blown Away by this amp! I decided I needed to upgrade my current acoustic amp because I just was not getting the sound I needed or wanted. After a ton of research and playing some of the best rated amps out there on the market today, the Rivera Sedona Lite out did them all in my opinion. The ES system/balanced input makes a huge difference. I can even plug my mic into channel two and rock a solo gig. I Highly recommend this amp. It's sound is worth every penny!
