The Brownface Princeton represented a big change for the Princeton line and many these changes remained through the Blackface and Silverface years. The Brownface was a 15W amp with tremolo bias wiggle on-board. Additionally, it was fitted with larger 10-inch speaker and was the first fixed bias Princeton. This design used a cathodyne phase inverter which is circuit that was found in 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and many other amps of day. However, by the Brownface years the Princeton was the only Fender amp that used the cathodyne phase inverter circuit. In truth the Brownface wasn't a new design but rather a very slightly updated version of the 5F11 Tweed Tremolux.
The Brown Princeton is a favorite of mine and has great cleans but the overdrive is accessible and tremendously pleasing. The bias wiggle trem is a real treat for the ears and gives a nice soft tremolo.
This unit has had a 3 prong cord installed and a 10” Alessandro speaker. A couple if vintage RCA’s sit in V1 and V2 and give a nice warm vibe to the sound.
For $3,900 grab a piece of history and hear your sound come alive.
