Un combo tube 12 watts avec une reverb de ressort exceptionnelle et un trémolo, doté de deux canaux et d'une construction turret filaire à la main qui offre des tons clairs impeccables dans la tradition Princeton silverface.
The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is a masterclass in 'modified vintage.' While the '65 Reissue aims for pristine headroom, this Silverface-inspired unit is voiced for the player who craves grit and tactile responsiveness. By reducing negative feedback, Fender has created an amp that feels 'alive' under the fingers, breaking into a creamy, harmonic-rich overdrive much earlier than its Blackface sibling. It's the quintessential 'edge-of-breakup' machine.
The inclusion of the Celestion Ten 30 speaker is a deliberate departure from tradition, offering a tighter low end and more aggressive mids that suit pedalboards beautifully. This circuit handles overdrives without the high-end 'fizz' sometimes found in vintage Fender designs. The tube-driven spring reverb is deep and cavernous, and the bias-modulated tremolo remains the gold standard for pulsing, organic modulation.
There are trade-offs: the noise floor is slightly higher than the '65 Reissue, and the earlier breakup means it lacks the crystalline clean headroom needed for loud jazz or country gigs without a mic. Additionally, at this price point, some purists may lament the PCB construction over point-to-point wiring. However, for the studio professional or club gigger who prioritizes touch dynamics and classic American tone with a bit more 'attitude,' this is arguably the most versatile small combo in Fender's current lineup.
