For sale or trade:

Rivera M100/CS212 half stack. The head is in excellent shape, and the cab is in very good shape, with only a few scuffs here and there on the corners. Everything is functionally perfect. M100 includes power cable, speaker cable, and original 5-button footswitch (also in great shape).

This is a very good sounding and versatile setup...just not quite what I was looking for. $1200 shipped for the whole thing, or $900 shipped for the M100 head (plus cables and footswitch) and $300 shipped for the CS212 cabinet.

I would also be willing to trade the head towards a Bogner Shiva EL34 head with reverb, a Mesa Mk IV or DC-10 head, or something along those lines. Please let me know if you guys have any questions, or need more photos. I'm nosajwp on eBay if you want to check my feedback.

What are the specs on the cab? Dimensions , speakers , wattage , ohms?
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

The cab is a vertical slant 2x12, with separate ported chambers for the top and bottom speakers. The back panel of the top chamber is removeable. The cab can be used 8 ohm stereo, or 4 ohm mono. It's 32" x 24" x 14" (12" at the top) and weighs about 45 lbs. I can't remember what speakers are in there right now (either Celestion or Eminence), but I will check this evening.

From Rivera's website:

Slavemaster

SLAVEMASTER is an alternative to running the output of the amplifier through load resistors into effects devices such as digital delays. Although load resistors do work (up to a point), they are an inefficient means to the goal, as they turn an expensive amplifier into a glorified fuzz-tone, generating lots of heat, smoking output transformers, and gobbling up output tubes. SLAVEMASTER duplicates the effect of running a big amplifier through load resistors, without sacrificing reliability (or flexibility). SLAVEMASTER can be used by itself or with its built-in effects loop.

Without Effects

Set your channel tones and levels with SLAVEMASTER off. Next turn on SLAVEMASTER by pressing the SLAVEMASTER GAIN control (or the button on the optional footswitch) and initially set the SLAVEMASTER LEVEL control to about 3. An LED next to the SLAVEMASTER GAIN control shows whether SLAVEMASTER is on or off. (SLAVEMASTER works with either preamp channel.)

Adjust the SLAVEMASTER GAIN control until you reach the desired amount of distortion. Set the SLAVEMASTER LEVEL control to adjust the difference in volume when SLAVEMASTER is turned on.

NOTE: On Mono Combo models, the LED indicator next to the FOCUS control that is unlabeled is the level indicator for the SLAVEMASTER circuit It glows in relationship to how hard SLAVEMASTER is driven. It is activates only when Slavemaster is turned on.

With effects

The Slavemaster circuit Includes Send and Return jacks, which allow the use of effects devices with SLAVEMASTER as if it were an effects loop. This means you can use effects devices within the SLAVEMASTER circuit, so that when you kick in Slavemaster, you also kick in additional effects.

As a line-out

If you wish to run the output of the SLAVEMASTER to an external source (amplifier, mixing console, etc.), run a patch cord from the SLAVEMASTER Send jack on the rear panel of the Combo to the desired source. There is no need to use the SLAVEMASTER Return jack in this set-up.

The speakers are custom Eminence models, built to Rivera's specs. 160 watts total, 4 ohm mono, 8 ohm stereo.

Thanks for the info. I would really like to do it but its a tough time right now,but believe me I'm trying to find a way :)
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

No problem. No one's spoken for it yet, so if the means become available to you, it'll probably still be here!

Bump...

Merry Christmas!!!
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

Bump...hope everyone had a good holiday!

I'm especially interested in selling the cab itself, because I have a small car and it won't fit in the trunk, and I have an opportunity to pick up two smaller Rivera C210 cabs.
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

and thats what I'm especially interested in too... dang!
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

CS212 is spoken for...M100 still available!
 
Re: FS/FT - Rivera M100/CS212 Compact Half Stack

Bump for the M100 with a price reduction.

$800 shipped.
