This is great! I wish I could have heard more from Paul.
Can’t hear Paul talking. Stop playing the guitar.
We came for the guitar playing not the talking 😆
Captions exist
Rude
@@varminttank for real
I wish somebody would take that guitar away from that guy.
Sorry, could barely hear Paul Rivera speak since the dude on the loud, twangy Tele didn't have the courtesy to stop noodling!!! Great little amp! I've owned three and upgraded the speakers in each. Also connected to an ext. spkr., these rigs kill!
I prize possession and 1 and only amp is my 1983 Super Champ. Love it.
Paul is the man, I have owned 5 Rivera amps over the years, and kept 2 I will never part with. Also super cool that i've called the shop and Jr was the one I talked to, a true family business.
It is very annoying to have Nick playing while Paul Rivera is talking. Any other member of Norm's staff would have had more respect to Paul Rivera.
I thought the same thing
I haven't checked any of Norman's videos in a while, and I am really happy to see Norm here, back in the shop and looking good .. Be well Norm !!
Cool !
In '06, i stop by a shop and see one of these. Got a great rock tone in like 5 seconds. I loved it !
Get home and ask the Missus for a green light to buy it. Shop was aways away so went back the next weekend to buy it.
Dang thing isn't there..."The seller changed his mind and took it back".
Can't say i blame the guy.
Guitar player was like the drummer in my band when trying to tune. Let Paul talk man, you will get your playing time.
Love my 1983 Super Champ! Thanks, Paul!
That’s the amp that Warren DeMartini used for the lead sounds on out of the cellar, through another cab with I believe eminence speakers
make another video so we can hear Mr. Rivera.
Agreed!
My 65 was serviced by a EE. You can't even tell it's on until you pick a note. Love it.
I love my 83 Super Champ, due for a re-cap . If you own one make sure you get a backup 6C10 tube because these only exist NOS and getting more and more expensive, the other tubes are widely available.
I'd love to hear the o boy play the white tele when its his turn , the way it is cant focus on any 1 thing .
What absolutely great Americans! Love it!
Paul Rivera is a legend but is overpowered in this interview by Nick.
Interrupting someone while the person is speaking is plain rude. It's more obvious when the person who is constantly being interrupted is an amp genius.
He can’t stop playing because the amp is freakin awesome!
he could not when paul is talking or they could of had a small time to demo the amp and not talk while the playing was going on
Would of been nice to hear what Paul was saying. Man that was frustrating
Agreed!
Genius, most usable amp ever. Light weight and fantastic tones.
Fabulous amp, I remember these well. And I'm a bass player 😂
Question 1: For how much did it sell?
Question 2: Was Joe Bonamassa the purchaser?
Got one in excellent condition For Sale.
I have one of these amps from the early 80's, great little amp. I think to be fair, they must have asked Nick to play and he thought he was adding background playing to Paul speaking, he didnt realise the mic level was a lot lower for Pal talking and couldn't be heard when he was playing.
The guy playing sounds good but it's kind of annoying that he's playing through the talking the whole time ;).
Nice looking guitar and a thorough video but I was really hoping you'd plug it in and play. Haven't heard any sound samples of the Madeira anywhere. 😕
That was very educational. Love the Rivera Era
Sounds like the cheap Eminence that was the stock speaker not the FORCE EV that was optional
I have a old Harvard reverb needs recap but sounds amazing best reverbI have ever heard and dont see the amps anywhere
He's very friendly and very savvy. This was not a bad interview at all.
J Mascis records a lot of his guitar for Dinosaur Jr records with one of these
I have a Super Champ from around 1982 if anyone is interested in making an offer. I’m in VA.
⚓️ Thanks Jen Paul Nick 😎 NORM !!!
I got a super champ XD thinking it was tube, even the analog section is all solid state for the preamp. It sounds OK, but fender should have called it something else
Same thing happened to me when I bought my first fender princeton, thought it was tube only to find it was a solid state amp. Funnily enough after owning many tube amps the ickyness of transistor amps is wearing off for me and the tube mystique has calmed down to more reasonable proportions :).
@@roderickbalt8993The fender solid states from Rivera's tenure are pretty nice too, though he didn't actually design the circuits for them himself, just conceptualized their feature sets...I have several tube powered fenders, and also an '83 studio lead and '83 yale reverb, and they do the iconic fender cleans perfectly, without maintenance hassles or bothersome size/weight...if people would get over their irrational fear of transistors, those amps would be worth a good bit more because they are built on a competitive level you don't see much in discreet analog solid states nowadays, now it's all digital modellers which are destined to be landfill fodder
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear a lot of the details.
NICK!!!! LET THE MAN TALK..... THEN PLAY A LICK
That little amp sound loud!! I had a guitar player last night play with one of these and he was keeping up with my drums.
Maybe it’s time to invest in some lav mics?
Fender TUBE amp are the best ! Can Play Any Electric or Electric Acoustic and get such a great sound ! Fender Tube amps Number 1
Paul's lips are moving but it sounds like he has guitar riffs coming out of his mouth
I have a like new 80s Paul Rivera concert amp.
I love mine, best amp I've ever had.
Price please.
If I was Paul, when Nick started talking I would have grabbed his guitar and started playing as loud as the amp would go so he knows how it feels to be trying to say something only to be drowned out by constant loud noodling. Someone mentioned subtitles. Yeah right. All that accomplished was to see MUSIC PLAYING while Paul was trying to talk. I can listen to people play guitar all day long. Hell, I play. But I rarely get the chance to hear a legendary Amp maker talk about one of his creations.
I couldn’t hear anything with that guy playing. The original Super Champ is the best guitar amplifier ever made if you play it with a 12” speaker. It can do anything. I had 3 one got stolen. If I could only have one amp that would be it.
These amps rule!
Jeez, let him talk
GET A 58 HARVARD AND SOME P 90s
I owned one before sold it 2500 Canadian
Needs subtitles!
How do I buy it?
It will be gone. Bonnamassa will buy it for big money.
Never give a Guitar Player a guitar during an interview. The prices for these amps have more than doubled since I bought mine about 6 years ago. I recently saw one selling for $6000. 😂 . $1500 to $2000 seems to be Average.
How many watts is that amplifier
18w
Hey guy in the fancy cap,,,,, mind you manners. Jeezz
Is Paul talking about conspiracy theories and other rubbish or why have you censored him out?
Love this interview XD
Sorry Paul, we can’t hear you. Would the guitar player kindly stop noodling for one second - very rude!
That guy in the cap keeps playing over Paul.
This is the amp Warren used on RATT's Out Of The Cellar. czcams.com/users/shortsB04aBmakmto?feature=share
I saw one on reverb for only $6,000? Wtf
Can you believe this guy with the guitar? Rivera speaking and he is freaking noodling away… what a dunce..!
Damn dude, quit playing and let Paul talk.
And when it needs a new 6C10 tube...yikes!!!
Norm? You the best. Pay no attention to the english bloke. Pppuphhhh!
Have never played one of these amps or even seen one, but if they were like the only Fender amp models that I had ever bcught new like a 1977 Princeton Amp with 2 10" speakers and two Super Champ XD's with one 10" speaker they all suffered from the crapy quality stock speakers that sucked if you cranked up the amp. The amps are good, but the speakers truly sucked. If you want your amp to sound like 10 times better then check this out : The X2 is about the same amp as the Super Champ XD, but with the added USB option so you can actually downloand and store other voicings of one's choice off the web from Fender. One problem withe XD and the X2 is that the stock speakers only sound decent at low volumes to to being very cheap wimpy speakers. I finally found out that better quality 10" speakers can indeed make this amp actually sound SUPER at not only high volume, but all across the sound spectrum. Now at a nominal cost my 2 Fender Super Champ XD's sound like $1000 amps. I have 2 Super Champ XD amps. Great amps except for the wimpy 10" speaker that they come with so that Fender can cut costs, but at the expense of not producing a truly quality product. I also had picked up a used Fender Bassman 25 amp for $60 some time back. So the speaker in that Fender Bassman 25 amp had great lows and highs. So I removed it and replaced the Fender Super Champ XD speaker with the Fender Bassman 25 amps speaker which has a much larger magnet. It made a world of difference and now the amp is truly SUPER even when dimed. Next I will replace my other Super Champ XD with a Hartke Aluminum Cone 10" speaker from a Hartke 210 cab I have. Will move the other 10" in the cab to the Fender Bassman 25 Amp. The Hartke speakers turned out to be 16 ohm each. I had read that using a 16 ohm speaker instead of the 8 ohm ones would make the amp run cooler, but that the speaker would have less volume by about 3db. WRONG !!!. It acutally produces more volume than the identcal amp with the 8 ohm speaker installed. If you want a great amp upgrade your Super Champs speaker. You won't regret it.
Could not understand a word unfortunately.
WHAT?????
Typical wire jockey, gotta twist the knobs while the guy plays, gotta watch those guys who hold on to AC for fun,,,,thanks Paul and Norm and the lonesome guitar slinger.
How rude, this is Paul Rivera speaking!
Why are guitar players in these types of scenarios CONSTANTLY noodling while someone is talking? It's incredibly disrespectful to the person speaking. Never ceases to amaze me....
Nick , Rule No. 1 You don't play guitar when people are talking.
cant here anything for whoevre that is playing
What is it with most guitar players that they can't stop playing even when somebody is speaking? And the chap in the video can't even tune his guitar. Horrendous thing.
Ouch... Better luck next time.
How obnoxious!
can i have it?
Geez Nick, you couldn't hold off on the guitar playing till Paul and Norm were done talking?
FFS Nick!! What is the point!!!
Rude as Hell
He is disrespectful
Hey, don't throw shade on the Super Champ XD. It sounds at least as good s this amp.
This thing needs more soul patch
love the interview but the kid on the guitar needs to learn some manners ! Peace
