'65 Princeton Reverb 1x10" 12-watt Tube Combo Amp Review

Rockin around the Clock!

Thank again to my fantastic sales engineer for the recommendation of the Fender Princeton Reverb. This great amp has brought out the 50's rocker in me! It really sings with my Les Paul 50's gold top, I am getting some serious twang ala Johnny B. Goode and Runaway. :) Thanks again Parker you for the great suggestion, I love it!

An amazing amp!

I debated for months between a blackface Princeton and Deluxe Reverb, and ended up going with the Princeton. I chose it mainly because I didn't want my ears to bleed or get noise complaints when trying to push the amp into natural overdrive. I love the crisp, clear tone provided by the Princeton. I came from playing a Marshall Valvestate amp, and the change is noticeable. I can… read more actually play a clean tone without rolling volume back! The reverb is to die for and the tremelo is very nice! I leave them both on a lot at very low levels. Their circuits are touch-sensitive, so when playing lightly they're almost unnoticeable, and when you dig in they become pronounced. Lastly, pedals sound AMAZING through this amp. I bought a TS9 tube screamer to play through my Marshall, and could never find a tone I liked out of it so it collected dust. With the Princeton, the TS9 comes alive. All in all, very happy with my purchase and would recommend for practice, recording, and smaller venue gigging unless you're mic'ed. I'd love to see a comparison between the 10" v. 12" speaker variant of this amp!

Wow! An amazing amp!

Wow! This amp is amazing. I knew it would be great, it's a Fender Princeton. Anything from crystal clear tones to a nice breakup crunch at high volume or with a stomp box. This amp can do everything. I also play a Marshall DSL40 40 watt tube combo and this little Fender can stand right up to it, it's really loud for such a small amp. ReeeeeVerb!!!! Oh YES that wonderful Fender reverb… read more and tremolo. I can't tell you how many reverb pedals I've tried over the years and none come close to that real Fender spring reverb. I love everything about this amp. Small and light enough for a practice amp but loud enough to play out at clubs.

Princeton 65

This is by far the greatest amp I've ever used.Beautiful clean tone when used with my American professional telecaster.When used with a standard les Paul the grit and dirt on this is amazing.This amp also takes delay and overdrive pedals extremely well.The reverb is by far the best I've ever used.If my fellow guitar players are wondering if this amp Is worth it,100 percent!The amp… read more at 15 watts is of course loud,but turn up the volume to 5 and you get that sweet fender sound.The Princeton is also very compact and easy to carry.Just save up a couple of bucks and get it,you will not be disappointed.
