Rift Amplification Americana 20w 112 Combo Tweed Tones

The Rift Amplification Americana is a boutique, British-made valve combo amplifier based on the classic '50s Tweed circuit. Driven by a pair of 6L6 power tubes, you can expect broad-sounding clean tones that'll easily fill out any medium-sized space or venue; even with its modest 20W of headroom.

2-Channel design
Although the original Tweed amplifiers are synonymous with clean sounds, the Americana's single 12AX7 preamp tube allows you to easily push its front end for iconic edge-of-breakup tones. The second channel has more gain and power on tap too, making the Rift Americana far more than just a one-dimensional amp!

Valve-Driven Reverb
A custom-designed onboard valve-driven spring reverb circuit takes you back in time to the golden era of the '50s. Perfect for embellishing your tones with vintage-style ambient trails, the Americana's reverb circuit is good enough to be always on!

Here's what Rift Amplification says about the Americana:

Continuing their releases of inspired-by-yet original designs, Rift Amplification announces a brand new 20-watt valve amplifier, offering 50’s tweed tones with onboard spring reverb.

Rift Amplification’s owner, Chris Fantana - “A long-standing goal of mine has been to successfully incorporate a great sounding spring reverb into a classic 50s Tweed circuit, without taking anything away from the core tone. Taking the lessons learned from the development of the reverb circuit found in the Aynsley Lister Signature amplifier, I designed a new circuit from the ground up, this time using a 12AX7 dual-triode valve as both driver and recovery. The reverb effect compliments the core tone of the amplifier, without becoming splashy or intrusive. Vast, rich, and spacious reverberations are on offer from a conveniently located dial control, found on the main control panel for easy access and adjustment.”
