Fender Princeton Reverb '68 Custom
Overview
The Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is a 12-watt hand-wired tube combo amplifier designed for players who crave vintage Fender clean tones with studio-quality reverb and tremolo. Built around a pair of 6V6 output tubes and two 12AX7 and one 12AT7 preamp tubes, it drives a 10-inch Celestion Ten 30 speaker that produces warm, complex tones with excellent note definition. The amp features two channels: a vintage channel that faithfully recreates the original silverface Princeton's sparkling cleans, and a custom channel with a modified tone circuit that delivers a fuller, more scooped sound suited to modern playing styles. The onboard tube-driven spring reverb is among the finest found in any production amplifier, providing everything from subtle ambiance to deep, surf-drenched wash. Tremolo is equally musical, with smooth pulsing that blends seamlessly into the overall tone. Build quality is outstanding, with a hand-wired turret board construction, silverface cosmetics, and a robust pine cabinet that contributes to the amp's resonant character. The Princeton Reverb is a top choice for recording sessions, rehearsals, and intimate live settings where pristine clean tone matters most. Players who need high-volume headroom or heavy distortion will want to look elsewhere, as this amp is purpose-built for clean-to-edge-of-breakup territory.
