SEDONA 55 Top

Our most requested feature for Musicians desiring to improve the transportability of our popular and award winning Tube Acoustic/Electric amp, the Sedona, was to make it into a separate Amp Top configuration.  When playing in large venues, using a pair of our Sedona extension enclosures with either of the Sedona Tops, gives much more stage presence to the performer. Available in a 55watt or 100watt configuration.

TAYLOR® OWNERS!!! YOU WANT THIS WITH THE ES-OPTION!!

Optional ES ready input is a balanced using a super high quality Cinemag® transformer. Perfect for your balanced-output Taylor® ES equipped guitars! This adds 4 DB of volume and tone to your Taylors®. The Sedona is the only amp that offers this!!!! Now you will be able to hear how fat and warm you Taylor® can be. If you run the ES-equipped Taylor® in with a unbalanced amp, you are only hearing 3/4's of the pickup system including the T5's pick-ups. The Sedona 55 is the only amp that can give your T5 full blown acoustic tones and high gain tones, BALANCED!!

Features

Sedona features two independent and different preamplifier channels. Channel 1 is designed to produce optimum electric tones, clean or distorted. Channel 2 is tailored for electric or acoustic instruments. Sedona's specially designed Tweeter can be switched on or off to reproduce an acoustic instrument's sparkling harmonics on demand. In addition, the Tweeter's operation is linked to Channel 2 and is automatically disengaged when Channel 1 is selected.

An easy to use anti-feedback equalizer tunes out unwanted notes that would otherwise drone or squeal with sensitive acoustic Instruments. Switched from the front panel, the anti-feedback filter is also linked to Channel 2, and is automatically disengaged when using Channel 1. Reverb has never sounded sweeter, thanks to a long-pan, 6-spring Accutronics reverb.

Channel 1

Channel 1 - Blues to HIgh Gain Shred with your Electric

Channel 2

Channel 2 - for clean electric or big warm acoustic tones

Another Rivera exclusive feature, the Sedona's built-in rear-panel tube direct box output, includes a level control and a pull switch for ground lift. It sends only the Instrument's signal through an all-tube low-impedance, balanced-line XLR output invaluable on-stage or in the studio. An active effects loop with level controls allows for matching any outboard signal processor for optimum tone and minimum noise. Separate tweeter and full-range speaker output jacks coupled to an impedance selector allow connection to a Sedona Extension Enclosures or 4x12's to cover larger venues. With the 15" Sedona extension enclosure having large internal volume and Thiele Alignment, a tremendous bottom end response is created that would otherwise not be possible with an open back. This is the only tube head in the world that can go from full acoustic tones to high gain lead tones with a click of a switch!!

Never before has an amp received so many rave reviews from guitar magazines. Guitar World as well as Guitar Player have used Sedona as their benchmark for testing other amps as well as many acoustic guitars. Guitar Shop Magazine said "This is undoubtedly the best acoustic/electric amp ever made.." Musician Magazine awarded Sedona "Amp of the Year."
