This was in a time capsule. From 1966 November. So it was a never used amp; before me. I have used it only in a home recording sessions occasionally. It is in mint condition. Ready for studio players and musicians. Professionally converted to European voltage with NO chassis modifications. Original 110V US Power Transformer is included in the sale and can be re-installed seamlessly. The necessary capacitor work has already been done. (leaked capacitors). It is fully serviced, safe, and ready to play.
Non-reverb Princetons have more clean headroom, punch, and a purer tone than the reverb models—studio engineers love them for this. And it is a brilliant pedal platform
This blackface circuit AA964 was used in 1964 -1967
As Vintage Guitar Magazine writes:"This kept it all crisp and pristine on the way to the phase inverter, with little in line to push the amp into overdrive; therein lies the beauty of this circuit for certain playing styles.Though so often the underdog on the vintage market, the non-reverb Princeton ultimately reveals a thing of sonic beauty, and displays more of the characteristic that helped make black-panel Fenders legendary performers in the first place – some of the sweetest, liveliest clean tones ever produced this side of the Atlantic."
