Channel 2, features a pull for treble bright, a Mid-Notch to switch between a blackface or tweed like tone. There's also a channel assignable and footswitchable Accutronics 6-spring reverb, A focus control, to tighten or loosen the speaker and a presence control. the Venus™5 is a stellar addition to our Venus™ family.

Our Rivera Vintage-Modern switch on the rear panel allows the power to be cut down to 18 watts while enhancing the even order harmonics, making it indispensable for low level recording, small venus performing, and practice. A detachable power cable as well as the AC mains fuse is easily accessed. Two speaker jacks and an impedance selector switch allow connection to the internal as well as external speakers. A Line Out jack gives you the option of slaving another amp or recording directly from the power amp signal that is at line level. An active effects loop with send and return level controls allows easy patching and signal matching to any external signal processor chain.

A 3 function FS-7R footswitch is included.
