RM1 Guitar Effects Switching System
This is the centerpiece of your effects pedal system. Featuring 4 Effects Loops with Hard Wire Relay bypass, a separate Tuner Output as well as an Input Buffer, your days of pedal mess and cable confusion are over. No more signal chain losses due to pedals without true bypass - like most Asian-made pedals with FET switching. All of the footswitches are illuminated and easy to see even on dark stages. Two Rivera RM-1 Routmeister controllers can be linked together to provide up to 8 effects loops. This can also be configured to allow one RM-1 Routmeister to be used in the Effects Loop of your amp, and one to be used before your amp.
The Rivera RM-1 is easy to program. It has a MIDI out to send program change information to your other MIDI effects processors in your signal chain. Powering your 9V Pedals has never been easier as 4 DC jacks are provided along with the necessary cables to provide up to 160 MaDC of clean 9V power.
Switching your Rivera or other brand of amplifier can easily be handled by the RM-1. Clear and easy to read numeric LED indicators for banks and selections.
There are two TRS jacks provided that can switch up to four amplifier-switching functions independently. The switching itself can be programmed along with the effects loops and external MIDI commands to control your entire system with simplified footswitch commands.
A Volume Control is provided for level matching and can be programmed to a particular loop enabling perfect signal balancing between different kinds of pedals.
Optional is the innovative WP-1Wah-Pad that can be programmed to turn on your Wah with just the pressure of your foot, and when you lift off, the Wah is bypassed. This can also be used with a Volume Pedal or any foot activated effects device that you desire to be bypassed when not using.
A rugged and regulated external power supply with a 3.5M cable comes standard with the Rivera RM-1 Routmeister. Weighing only about 3 pounds, the RM-1 will save you countless hours of setup and frustration each time you play, as well as making you sound as good as a straight line into your amp.

Every nuance of your note will enveloped in a rich harmonic sweetness that the 15 Watt 2-6V6GT Class A power amp section delivers to either a Single 10” Vintage Gold speaker, or a 1-12”Celestion G12- Heritage 30 speaker. Although the Venus™3 is compact, it is huge on sound and you will be amazed at how much clean bottom end warmth can be found, regardless of speaker size.

Pubster 25
This Pubster comes with 25 watts of 6V6GT power and a 10" Rivera Vintage Gold speaker. Every amp in the series uses two 12AX7 preamp tubes - reliable and easily accessible for service.

Even though these new models are the most affordable Rivera models yet, each one of these is more than professional enough to use for serious working musicians. Using a pair of Pubster 25 amps in stereo, placing them on a risier or even a pair of stools, allows you to cut even the most demanding small club gig.
For recording, Pubsters can do the job well. Utilizing good mic technique in recording situations, these small packages of excellent tone will lay down great sounding tracks. You can also use the Pubster amps to power an external Rivera 412 cabinet, allowing you to record stack sounds easily.
