Description:

The American Studio Reverb is my take the 60’s Fender Princeton Reverb which has become a beloved practice, recording and small gig amp. Over the past decade and a half I have serviced roomfuls of vintage Princeton Reverbs and developed mods to spruce of the RIs. This American Studio Reverb is the culmination of all that experience. The sound is clean, clear, and never harsh. It takes pedals with ease. The tube reverb and bias wiggle tremolo give the amps effect depth and richness that will transport you into a creative space. Carefully selected transformers and speakers are an upgrade from the lower grade ones found in most clones and the original amps. With this amp you will have world class tone!

Customer Comments:

“Hi Carl,

I wanted to take a moment to tell you just how blown away I am by the American Studio Reverb. It’s hands down the best-sounding amp I’ve ever owned. The tone is rich, dynamic, and genuinely inspiring, the kind of sound that keeps you playing long after you planned to stop. The craftsmanship and aesthetic are equally beautiful.

Back in 2000, I bought a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb made in the USA, and I was very satisfied with its sound for many years, until I heard your amp. The American Studio Reverb is on a different level.

In addition, the amp traveled roughly 9,000 km from your shop to Montreux in Switzerland and arrived in perfect condition. The packing was exceptional and the amp very well protected.

You’ve created something truly remarkable, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Best regards,

Derek”
