The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Plum at a glance:
The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Plum is an authentic reissue of the popular all-tube combo, known from countless hits and considered a secret weapon for first-class clean tones and vintage overdrive, especially among studio musicians. Equipped with three 12AX7 tubes in the single-channel preamp stage, the amplifier delivers a lively sound that responds dynamically to the player and can be pushed into harmonically rich overdrive. In addition, classic Fender effects such as reverb and tremolo are on board. The 12 watts of output power from the two 6V6 tubes are delivered through a ten-inch Celestion G10 Greenback, whose warm tone is the perfect match for the clear Fender chime.
The classical Blacface era tone can be achieved without disturbing neighbours by this low power amp.
I also buy the big brother Deluxe Reverb, which has more headroom but heavier and bigger for carrying. This little Princeton has every good feature that I love in Deluxe Reverb and also have some advantegous for my point of view, such as no extra second similar channel, low power to easy break up, low weight and volume and also I love the 10 inch speaker very much.
For gigs with noisy drummers, Deluxe Reverb and also Vibrolux can be choosen. But for the home or recording players, Princeton is the best amp with its price and mobility.
Although, this is a Blackface amp and priority is clean tone, the power tube break up tone is also impressive. Also, the amp compromises well with overdrive pedals.
