Getting OT but I’m not sure the Super Champ was a Rivera “home-brew” design. Look at the Princeton Reverb w/ Boost schematic. It looks a lot like the Super Champ, already using the reverb driver to boost gain (but no fancy Vactrol switching). It seems like a cut and paste into the Super Champ. Seems more likely the features were spec’d by Rivera then handed off to an engineer who worked off a known circuit to get a basic design going.
The 75 was designed before Paul Rivera’s relationship with Fender. The model was made in 1980 and 1981 only. I was one of the first artists to use the 75 starting with the prototype and still have an early production model I got from Fender in 1980.
75 isn’t Rivera, Super Champ IS. Rivera designed the Super Champ – he brought it as a home-brew design into Fender, but, yes, the others were designed by Ed Jahns according to Rivera’s specs.
“Rivera Era” tag still there bud.
I have removed the Rivera tag. Let me know any more details to correct via the comments section on the other amps.
