- Page 6 Channel 2-Unbal input This is a normal non-balanced input for unbalanced instruments. Most electric and acoustic guitars have a non-balanced output. Channel 1 Channel 1 Both channels can be used simoultaneously. This can allows you to have separate EQ for you Mic and your Guitar in Channel 2. Channel 1 should be used for your Mic or Taylor ES-equipped guitars for maximum volume and tone when balanced.
- Page 7 Reverb In the tradition of classic amps, your Sedona Lite is equipped with a spring reverb. Its single-knob operation controls its effect on the signal coming from both preamp channels. Specially buffered circuitry drives the reverb, keeping your tone intact...
- Page 8 Anti-Feedback Equalizer This works with both channels simultaneously The Sedona Lite is provided with a special circuit that can reduce the tendency or amount of resonant feedback that commonly occurs when amplifying acoustic instruments. This is possible by enabling a dip or cut in the frequencies that are amplified, with the frequency and amplitude of the dip continuously variable (like a parametric equalizer).

These outlets have a grounding pin in addition to the normal line and neutral pin. The power cord supplied with your Sedona has a 3-pin plug. Do not cut off or damage the ground pin. If the available electrical outlet is of the older 2-pin type, use a suitable ground-lift adapter. -

Using a Y cord, connect the Speaker 1 with the internal jack and speaker cable into the Full range input of the Sedona extension cabinet. Then using a Y cord, connect the Tweeter output of the amp with the internal Jack and speaker cable to the Tweeter input of the Sedona cxtension cabinet. This will allow you to turn the tweeter on or off in both in the combo and the extension cabinet. -
Page 13: Slaving A Second Amp Or Power Amp
Connect a shielded cord from your Sedona’s Effects Loop Send to the power amp input or Effects Loop Return on a second amp. All volume and tone changes made on the Sedona will affect what comes out of the second amp. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
In addition, set your effects/dry signal blend in the signal processor. If you want to use a volume pedal, the line between the first Sedona’s Effects Loop Send and the signal processor’s input is an excellent location. Always use high-quality shielded cables for these connections. - Page 15 If you don’t have a flight case for travel, use the box it came in, or wrap it in something thick, soft, and protective. RIVERA amps are built to take a lot, but why push it? If you treat your amp well, it will treat you (and your guitar’s tone) well.
