This is for the amp with an Alnico 10" but it can be order with other speakers see the options below.

Description:

For many years I’ve built the 5F2A Tweed Princeton on a custom basis and now I’m offering it as a regular build but with some extras to give you even more tone. The Tweed Princeton is the Champ’s slightly bigger brother and is little more versatile due to the tone control onboard. Great 50’s tones for blues, rock n’ roll and country. it’s a wonderful recording amp. I’ve upgraded the amp to have 10” speaker rather than small sounding 8” speaker. It also can use a 6V6, 6L6 types, or a 5881. They will all produce 5W but will allow you to tailor the tone to your needs. It’s a fabulous recording and practice amp and great for small gigs. For players who no low volume cranked tweed tone I’d recommend looking at my Tweed Recording Pro which has London Power Scaling on board.

I offer the amp with few different speaker options to suit different player’s needs. The Alnico 10 will give a classic 50’s tone with lots of warmth and low headroom. The ceramic speaker with give you more much and headroom but very much a classic sound. The Weber Michigan is an EV type speaker and will give you maximum headroom and a warm smooth top end.

5W of all tube power, Volume and Tone controls, High and Low Inputs for different tones, 10” speaker, finger jointed fine cabinet.

Parts:

Custom wound transformers, Malory 150 Tone Caps,  Neutrik or Switchcraft Jacks, Special Resistor Selection for low noise, High End Tube Sockets,  new or reconed Weber or vintage re-coned speaker, combos are finger joined pine.

Customer Comments:

“I played through it for an hour or more and everything is working perfectly. I’m loving this one already and it sounds great! Between the Octal and this classic Princeton, I’m in tonal heaven. Thanks again for the quick turnaround and for the new jewel light. You’ve made an old man very proud to own two heirloom quality Carl’s Custom Amps! “
