Handbuilt Mojotone Tweed Princeton Style Amp 2020

This is a Fender Tweed Princeton-style amp built from Mojotone's 5F2-A kit that puts out about 5 watts. It's been paired with a 12" 25-watt Mojotone American Vintage AV12C speaker (8 Ohm). I built it in 2020 using a custom cabinet and velcro on the front panel to simplify a speaker swap. My tolex application isn't the greatest but it doesn't detract from the tone. It comes with the 3 stock JJ tubes (12AX7, 6V6, 5Y3) installed PLUS another brand new JJ 6V6. Check the specs and kit info below for more details.

Mojotone’s Tweed Princeton Style Amp is based on the classic 5F2-A circuit which was introduced in 1957 and is the most widely known Princeton circuit. These amps have a wonderful negative feedback which gives them a smooth and balanced sound. Our Princeton style amp is a faithful recreation of the originals, which were rumored to be the most recorded guitar amps of all time. Utilizing one 6V6 power tube and one 12AX7 preamp tube, it is a Class A circuit with a clear and chimey quality that is desirable for recording any style of music.

Our Tweed Princeton style amp has two inputs; low and high. The low input is is more tame with a slightly warmer overall sound, while the high input breaks up easier and is glassier and brighter in nature. The amp has one tone control and one volume control and relies on the brilliance of the circuit’s inherent sound to provide the player with quality tone as the controls are tweaked. Enjoy the luxury of being able to dial in a punchy and clear sound at any volume without having to spend hours tweaking your EQ.

The AV12C is a vintage styled speaker with a smooth seamed cone that facilitates early for breakup, and just the right amount of crunch and punch. Right out of the box this speaker sounds like it has already been broken in.
