The Fender Princeton Reverb is one of the crown jewels of mid-’60s and 70's combo amps. This classic amp added a tube-driven reverb circuit to the popular Princeton student combo, and has been among the most widely used recording amps since its introduction in 1964. 12 to 15 watts of power from a pair of 6V6GT tubes can be fairly clean, or can push the speaker into submission with an absolutely perfect, tight drive sound. The reverb is luscious and mates well with the tremolo circuit to bring some ambience to the sound that truly cannot be emulated with any kind of modern stomp box.

This has had all the modern maintenance done professionally. Caps and resistors have been upgraded, the 2-prong cable has been upgraded to 3-prong (for safety purposes), the speaker has been upgraded to a rare Jensen Neo 12" speaker (very light weight with a glorious sound), and tubes have been carefully selected to give this amp an unrivaled sonic presence. In the V1 position we have placed an RCA 1950's long blackplate 12ax7 which we believe to be the perfect tube for its soundscape.

I would highly encourage using a BrownBox or similar voltage reducer to protect this amp from the modern wall voltages. It truly preserves the tone and ensures the life of the components. The rarity of this early model make this one a great find. Please view my other listings for more vintage Fender amps.
