Thanks a ton for checking this listing for my '65 Princeton Reverb reissue from the Sweetwater Mod Shop.
Here is what Sweetwater has to say about the 2 mods to this amp:
"Sweetwater’s in-house tube amp technicians have hand-modified this ’65 Princeton Reverb with some of our most-requested mods to provide you with added sonic flexibility and a lusher tremolo effect. Furthermore, the bright, colorful sound of this amplifier’s 10-inch Jensen C10R speaker pairs beautifully with its warm-sounding tube circuit to deliver the magical tone used on countless classic hits. This incarnation of the Fender ’65 Princeton Reverb brandishes a Baltic birch plywood cabinet with eye-grabbing blank-panel aesthetics, including a black Tolex covering and a silver grille cloth."
"The in-house technicians here at the SWX Mod Shop upgraded this Fender ’65 Princeton Reverb with our most-requested mods, so you can benefit from them as soon as you unbox your new amplifier. First, we added a rear-panel midrange control, enabling you to dial the amp from scooped, black-panel-style tones all the way to mid-forward, Tweed tones that mid-century Fender amps are famous for. We also modified the tremolo speed to a slower rate with a wider range of intensity control to provide you with a lusher-sounding effect than a stock circuit.
- A modern incarnation of one of Fender’s most historically significant amplifiers, hand-modified by the SWX Mod Shop
- Versatile enough to tackle living room rehearsals, studio sessions, and live gigs
- Churns out dynamic cleans and overdriven textures with equal confidence
- Tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo (a.k.a. “vibrato”)
- Rear-panel midrange control dials the amp from standard black-panel tones to mid-forward Tweed-like tones
- Modified tremolo speed and intensity provide a lusher-sounding effect than a stock circuit
- Bright-sounding 10-in. Jensen C10R speaker pairs beautifully with the amp’s warm-sounding tube circuit
- Baltic birch plywood cabinet with eye-grabbing black-panel aesthetics
- Includes a fitted cover and a 2-button footswitch"

I feel like it would be very difficult to find a cleaner, less-used Fender Princeton than this one. If the tubes have 10 hours on them, I would be shocked. I bought this amp to replace one I had a dozen years ago, and then found something else I wanted more, so there is no reason for this to sit here unused. My impulse purchase becomes someone else's savings as usual. ;)
I ordered this new from Sweetwater on 3/6/2025. The amp sells for $1749 new, so this is like getting the amp almost new with the mods for free. The amp is in mint condition, both cosmetically and in working order.
The amp will ship in the original Fender box, with the black Fender cover, 2-button foot switch, and power cable.
Thanks again, and let me know if you have any questions.
