The Fender limited-edition '65 Princeton Reverb 12W tube guitar combo amp brings Fender's legendary tone to life. Paying homage to the brand's vintage lineage while incorporating modern touches, this handwired reissue of the iconic '65 Princeton Reverb is a premium take on a studio and stage essential. Whether dialing in chimey cleans or slight overdrive, its 12W of all tube power—courtesy of a pair of 6V6 power tubes—provide rich, harmonically complex tone with headroom to spare.
At the heart of this amp's lush sound is its onboard long-spring Fender reverb and vibrato circuit with a custom 12AT7 tube. From subtle washes to cavernous tails, its reverb adds dimensional ambiance, while the vibrato circuit imparts a shiny pitch shifted effect. Adjust the reverb level, vibrato intensity and vibrato speed to taste using the control panel. An included 2-button footswitch allows for hands-free operation of the reverb and vibrato during live performance.
With a 12" Celestion A Type speaker and birch/pine-ply cabinet construction, the Fender limited-edition '65 Princeton Reverb projects with fullness and articulation. At lower volumes, its circuit design elicits chimey cleans with glassy top end and tightly focused bottom end. As you turn up the volume and gain controls, it produces creamy overdrive with rich harmonic texture. A modified tone circuit provides greater high-end sparkle and low-end girth.
While retaining the mojo of the original '65 Princeton Reverb, this reissue includes premium components and updated features for today's players. In place of the original aluminum chassis, it has a rugged plywood chassis with finger-jointed solid birch/pine cabinet for enhanced durability and tone. It also has a grounded power cable and a restored vintage-style brown tweed covering to reduce natural wear and tear.
