Fender Amplifiers ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb Reissue

T

he Fender Princeton Reverb resides in the upper echelon of all-time classic tube combo amps. One of the most recorded amps in music history, the Princeton is a mainstay in recording studios everywhere. Prized for its ability to be completely cranked without literally bringing down the house, making it the go-to amplifier in situations where the bigger 6L6 Amps would be far too loud. The Princeton Reverb features a rectifier tube that tames the pair of 6V6’s, bringing the overall power down to a very manageable 12-watts. With a tube driven Reverb/Tremolo section the tones produced sound much more organic and open. If you are looking for the classic vintage tones of a Fender Amplifier without the monumental weight and power of a Twin Reverb or a Bassman then the Princeton Reverb is the answer.
