Up for sale is an incredibly rare, 100% factory-original 1980s Fender \"Rivera- era\" 2-button footswitch.
While nearly all factory accessory pedals from the 1982-1985 Rivera line featured status LEDs, this is a highly prized, documented early production variant that left the Fender factory without LED apertures or bulbs.
Key Distinguishing Marks:
Authentic \"CH / REV\" Center Badge
Features the correct period-accurate Channel and Reverb text configuration rather than the older silverface/blackface \"VIB/REV\" layout.
1981 Component Date Codes: The internal Arrow Hart (A-H & H) switches are clearly stamped with the ElA date code \"8132\", proving manufacture in the 32nd week of 1981, aligning perfectly with the launch of the Rivera amp development era.
Factory Non-LED Housing: The cast- aluminum chassis completely lacks the upper drill holes for standard LED bezels, validating this as a genuine factory transitional rarity rather than a modification.
This pedal features the standard standard dual 1/4\" stereo (TRS) plug harness native to the 1980s series line. It is a drop-in historic partner for amplifiers such as the
Super Champ, Princeton Reverb II, Deluxe
