If your looking for that old Fender Blackface tone and can't afford an original and.... Oh yeah have a bad back like me, you will not be disappointed with this amp. I have an old 67 black face pro reverb, I've been using for 20 years, which I use for gigs. But I wanted something with similar tone and lighter weight to take to practice or to just jam with friends. I'm super happy with this Princeton. I'm using this amp with my guitar and also my Pedal Steel Guitar. I've read on forums of people getting this amp brand new and swapping out the speaker right away, but I see no need for that. Don't fix what's not broken. It sounds Great!

This is a follow up to my previous report. After stiffening the baffle and back panels with aluminum (billm mod) (I would also recommend a thicker baffle) I changed the speaker to a fitale pro 10" 600watt(xmax of 6). This speaker is designed for bass and has a strong xmax which allows the speaker to absorb the strong bass frequencies and now the amp is much cleaner with no buzz coming from the amp. Of course it will distort when you get close to 5 or so but that is expected. A less expensive option which will help but not as much is the eminence beta 10" wich has an xmax of 3 vs the stock speaker which is .5 xmax. I prefer the sound of a ten inch for my tastes but the rattle problem is now solved.

This amp is a great tube amplifier, the sound is amazing. It is perfect for home practice or for use in a small club. The tone on this amp is very clean and smooth, and can get pretty loud for 15 watts. The reverb and vibrato effects are great. If you are looking for a small tube amp with that warm clean tone of a vintage Fender amp, this is it!

Good black face tone as you would expect, the amp is a clean sounding amp with classic fender reverb and vibrato, those are the reasons to be buying this amp. Amp is loud for 15 watts, I usually use mine with a attunator for home use, especially with an overdrive pedal in from of it, seams perfectly designed for a strat and a tubescreamer, 2 inputs is nice a option, this amp is kind of like a 65 Deluxe reverbs little brother. The 10 inch speaker is a nice touch, a lot of bass and punchy, nice dynamics. I wish it have a switch to knock it down to 5 watts or something, that would be sweet. I play blues, country and some classic rock, this amp handles it all no problem, need a OD pedal to get dirty though, do not expect much tube saturation, the amp stays pertty clean even when cranked. The amps seems priced high in my opinon, I bought mine used for 600 at a local shop. Not sure I would pay full price for it, might get something else, a deluxe reverb is only a hundo more and you can find those used easily, you hardly will ever find one of these Princtons used, so when I did I snaged it. No regrets with this purchase, no QC problems or rattles in mine.

I've owned this amp now for well over a year and it has been fantastic. Great for practice or a small gig. I was surprised at some of the negative reviews because everyone that has heard this comments on the nice sound.

This is a working mans amp....sweet all the tone you can ask for. The only thing that was done to mine was a tube upgrade in the power section and an ecc83 in V1 also the speaker was changed to a 12"Celestion greenback (had to route the baffle) then glue and screw it back in place. This amp rocks with its effects, I dime the volume knob and adjust my guitar volume don't need any other effect, just plug and play. This amp is a work horse. Its worth the investment. Go out and get one you will love it too!

Bought one of these 3 years ago and have no major issues yet but keep reading horror stories on the WWW about failing units and the Antenuator control. Just waiting for mine to bust too!

Fender doesn't appear to test their new gear sufficiently - IT BUMS ME TO PAY $1000 for an amp that is soon discontinued when the product SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ....... BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE !!!!!!!

When are you going to GET IT, FENDER? My next amp will NOT be one of yours.

Overall this amp sounds excellent. I've been playing for many years and have had many amps, etc. and I really love the tone of this amp. The problem of course as everyone mentions is the baffle rattle. I received a warranty repair and had to wait 4 months to get my amp back. After a few weeks it started to do the same thing. The factory recommended fix did not help much so don't count on the Fender warranty. I ended up reinforcing the cab with aluminum and it is way better than factory and still no good. I will most likely have to end up buying a hand made cab that is built well to solve the problem eventually. Note: I play a 17" hollow body with the bass@10. This is the way it sounds best for me so if you have a strat and reinforce the cabinet with aluminum, it should be fine for a more brighter sounding guitar.

what a bummer!this amp is a tease and a failure. the sound is very nice with the vol up to about 3. then it sounds just like a sweet princeton reverb. (i know because i had an original. pr's are one of the best sounding most highly sought-after amps of all time.) but put volume on 5 where it should give nice break-up, and this amp sounds terrible! there is a horrible ratty noise. many people say they eliminated this bad sound with a baffle change-don't believe it. plus why spend $900 on a new amp and then have to repair it? the amp made the same horrible noise when i plugged it into other good spkr cabs. i connected it to 2 of my mesas with the same result, so IT'S NOT THE CAB NOR BAFFLE!fender came close to a home run but totally blew it!what a shame. for a few hundred more u can get a real pr used. it's worth it. this is bad!
