Original November 1965 Black Face Plate Fender Princeton.

We have been using this amp in-store for several years to demo many top end guitars! It sounds sensational. Fender are this year making a reissue of this amp handwired for close to $6,000. This amp has been upgraded with a Weber speaker and an added 240 V transformer (Original 110v with amp).

from Reverb …

“The Blackface Fender Princeton Reverb is one of the crown jewels of mid-’60s combo amps. This classic amp added a tube-driven reverb circuit to the popular Princeton student combo, and has been among the most widely used recording amps since its introduction in 1964. 12 to 15 watts of power from a pair of 6V6GT tubes can be fairly clean, or can push the 10″ speaker into submission with an absolutely perfect, tight drive sound. The reverb is luscious and mates well with the tremolo circuit to bring some ambience to the sound that truly cannot be emulated with any kind of modern stomp box.”
