Norm. Glad to see you looking so good!
Amen to that.
Looks like he got rid of some extra pounds! ❤
Paul is a legend in the amp arena..sure hope guys like him are teaching the new generations, cause guys like him have a lifetime of knowledge
Paul and I go back to the old LA Guitar Show days, where he exhibited at my Hollywood Rosevelt show. He is just the nicest guy! His amps are top shelf too.
Great to see Norm looking lighter and good. Great video with Mr. Rivera. Thanks!
I’ve got a Rivera era fender concert and it’s got all the tones and sounds that I need, but….it would be nice to have Paul go through my amp to update what needs to be updated.
With Brandon expertly playing Led Zep in the background .. made a great sound backdrop!
Can you please tell me the name of that Led Zeppelin song he’s playing? I can’t remember The name of it. I want to learn it.. Thank you..
Yep, I have a Paul Rivera made Fender amp from Japan (About 1986 I think) & here in 2022 it's still going strong, love it
2 Legends of Guitar and Amp, the knowledge these 2 men contain is unreal! It's good to see Norm up and about looking well! Doing what he loves to do. And thank you Mr. Rivera for taking the amp to the next level of tonal bliss!
Norm looking awesome glad he is recovering and I love the Super Reverb !!!
Fantastic..Hearing Zep...talking about the Great Aspen Pittman...and Paul and Norm.....great stuff
Yep two legends, what can you say. Thanks for these great videos because otherwise we'd never see or hear from people like Paul talking candidly about their craft. Cheers Norm, much appreciated!!
What a wonderful video! Thanks for sharing that conversation. I could listen to both of you talking guitars/music for an hour or two. I wish you would do longer interviews, they are fascinating.
Brandon just casually playing some Led Zep in the background is pretty cool too.
Thank you for sharing ,your looking well Norm! Luv the channel 👍
I heard that amp in one of your videos the other day and was instantly transported back to 1972 and my high school rock band (I played bass) and our Lead Guitarist had a Twin Reverb and to this day after playing in bands and being a Bouncer in Bars at The Jersey Shore in the late 70’s and Later working as a Security Supervisor in a Casino in AC and guarding big acts that Twin was still one of the best amps I ever heard and this amp brought me right back to the sound of that Twin. What a great sounding amp and Thanks for the Memory !
Wish you guys were open today! I don’t get out here very often!
Very nice video. So glad you're feeling better Norm you look wonderful
What a legend! Paul is so humble too.
I have a sidekick reverb 65 designed under Paul when he worked for fender, it’s incredible!
Nice! My ‘82 PRII has been my main driver since the late 80s!!
Love my 1983 Fender Super Champ!! Thanks, Paul.
My first amp was a Silver Faced Fender just like that. The memories.
What a fantastic video norm and paul and Brandon and jen
All the decades I played and amps I owned and sold only one do I regret selling and alway wished I could get back that was my 65 BF Princeton that I had Paul Rivera do his mod magic to. This was back when Paul was working out of his garage and a friend of mine introduced me to Paul. I also had an old original Echoplex that was trashed in an accident and Paul rebuilt it new case and all and it sounded great. Paul is the best.
More videos like this please.
Amps look great and that Super is majestic.
I have a paul rivaria 4×10 concert amp,sounds great!! Very heavy,I belive it to be 82,83? Good to see you looking great Norm!!
I Wish you the best Norm, Rivera Amps are so good , great. 🎸🎼🎸🎼👍👏🙂
Great tremolo, sounds incredible. Possibly the best I have heard.
Love to have the Champ, I have a Fender Champ clone and they sound so good. Also good to see Norm back at it!
I have a Rivera era super champ, its a great amp.
I played a black beauty les paul custom out of that super reverb when I visited norms. It sounded so damn good that it sent me amp shopping to chase that sound
Rivera Era Amps are some of the berry best!
I know a guy that has a shit ton of Rivera amps and all kinds of parts over the years. he has a room stacked near all the way to the ceiling in some places. idk if he has sold any off over the years. but last time I was in there he had so much. it was insane.
Complete repair by one of the best
Hello Paul Rivere nice to see you at norm , a person we have only hard about ,now we can put a face to the name ,,,!!! Thank you sr , and thank you norm and branden and all your team at norms rare guitars and records. Thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏
I missed out on one of his fenders a while ago and I am kicking myself.
This guy is a master those amps I’m sure are incredible and will last and last
Wow. 1973. Going back. 1968. Amp guru
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Paul is a legend….👍🏼
I’d say the amps are beautiful like that
You should start selling his amps :)
I am going to snag that Super
They look (and sound) great to me. Nothing like real relics, even better when fully gone through like these.
Paul you should check out Weber Speakers from Kokomo IN.
HEY NORMAN LOVE YOU
I still kick myself for letting a Rake head slip through my fingers. Rivera builds fantastic stuff!
Amps look pretty good to me
I miss my Super Reverb!
Yamaha G series is Paul designs and are great clean SS amps.....cheap too
Fun Fact;
Warren DeMartini used a Paul Rivera modded Fender Champ to record his solos on Out Of The Cellar/Invasion Of Your Privacy 🎸
Can Paul work on my Super Reverb and Super Champ?
Interesting. Afraid I am amp illiterate - need to learn. Have often thought of dusting off the cobwebs to start playing again after a very long sabbatical. It would take some doin'. Always played acoustic, but would be fun to try some electric. I'd have to get an amp, or find some way to hear myself. Yikes! What are some good set-ups to get started?
Thanks for sharing. Glad Norm is hanging in there. Take it easy.
Let's hear the amp. How much....
I used to own a Champ II. Loved it and traded it and regretted it ever since. Alas, young and stupid at the time (early 80's).
👌
Yamaha G100 ll Paul????
Hey a Chubster 40 for years. I am not a fan of the quality(had a lot of issues with the potentiometers) and not a fan of their service. I sent emails and called on the phone and left messages and never heard back from their service dept.
🎯
I disagree Norm...I think the Champ and Super Reveb are absolutely gorgeous. As I get older, like the amps, I'm starting to fray around the edges and feel a kinship with older equipment. I just wish someone would come along and replace some of my parts, so I worked as well as these amps! 😎🎼🎶🎸🎵👍 Love ya Norm!
With the breadth of work Paul's done, I pictured him to be older! Kudos. He clearly started young!
Edit - I had a Rivera Fandango about 20 years ago (bought it new online). I ended up returning it, but nothing to do with its quality. It was just so beastly that it was too much for me at the time. I would love to have one now. Quality was stellar and man oh man, was it ever powerful. Felt like 120w, not 55w. Fantastic amp. Built like a tank.
Is Paul Rivera both a Fender supplier and.a competitor?
oh heck i Love the look
Aspen Pittman! RIP
bring back the champ II!
Lost weight norm Everything ok?
Please, Please Tell me the name of that Led Zeppelin song he is playing.. I want to learn it..
Ten Years Gone, from Physical Graffiti...
It's a pretty easy song to play, in dropped D tuning.
@@mattrogers1946 Thank you so, sooo much.. it’s definitely some beautiful guitar work. Can’t wait to learn it..
@@briangisler1981 Might need to invest in a B Bender for the electric parts. Good luck, one of the first songs I learned to play.
I had one of his 4x10" Concerts and of course sold it in a fit of stupidity.
Not great looking amps ? I beg to differ….
They are really new amps, that look old. He changed pretty much everything.
Not so sure if that was a good thing.
So you basically ruined fender amps, thanks Paul!
legend
Heard a Rivera amp and loved it but can't afford it unfortunately..
I USE CAPS SO I CAN SEE
HEY! EARLIER I WAS AGAIN THINKING NORM SHOULD FEATURE HIS AMPS PRESENTED BY JOHN TUCCI
NORM HAS LOTS OF COOL AMPS
I HEARD ABOUT PAUL RIVERA AS FAR BACK AS 1970, A GREAT AMP GUY
I'VE GOT OVER 40 COOL AMPS
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA
You can change font sizes. No reason to use caps as an excuse
@@Ottophil have some respect
wants to keep original tone, proceeds to replace all the things that attribute to said tone. lmao
While I'm no expert, swapping the PT in an old amp like this is sacrilegious...
$10K?
