A long-standing goal of Rift Amplification 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, Rift Amplification 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.”
