You also get great-sounding vibrato and, of course, reverb onboard the incredible '65 Princeton Reverb!Fender '65 Princeton Reverb 15-watt 1 x 10 Tube Combo Amp at a Glance:
A legendary Fender guitar amplifier The legendary Fender Princeton Reverb Amp of the 1960s was small, light, and moderately powered. Though intended for practice situations, the Princeton was capable of big tube tone, and Fender's world-class Reverb and Vibrato effects were the icing on the cake. From its inception 'til today, countless guitarists have chosen it as their go-to studio amp, crafting signature sounds with a stomp box or two feeding a simple miked-up Princeton®. Today, original Princeton Reverb amps are prized collectibles, and becoming harder to find. The new '65 Princeton Reverb Amp offers today's players all of the great tone and dynamics of the original...in an affordable, roadworthy reissue. The robust 15-Watt platform is a wise choice for creating tube tone in a small space, and even provides enough output for small gigs and rehearsals. Studio stalwart Here's a great example of an amp whose popularity and usefulness never went away...and now it's more popular than ever among guitarists! The '65 Princeton Reverb combines portabillity, tube tone, and outright vibe to make a classic package that gets the job done for a range of styles and applications. Studio session? This amp's 15-watt output puts it squarely in the favored "small amp" category that studio cats love: it's robust enough to move some air, but the wattage is low enough to let you crank it up and let that 2 x 6V6 tube power section really go to work. This is how the classic tones were put to tape, and it works! Live licks If you're playing in a smaller venue and want an amp that can dish out the tone sauce at moderate volumes while still keeping up with a drummer, the '65 Princeton Reverb is your guitar's best friend. It's got the wattage to do the job, while its great-sounding single 10" Jensen Special Design C-10R speaker is voiced perfectly to the amp. A compact design means you don't need a cube van to transport the '65 Princeton Reverb; it fits easily in your trunk or back seat. Once you plug and and play this amp onstage, you won't want to stop! Premium practice amp Sure, Fender made the '65 Princeton Reverb to handle the rigors of the road, with tough cabinet construction and a durable vinyl covering. But if you want an all-tube practice amp that gives you the same (or better) sound quality as your live rig, here's your ticket. Plug right in, turn it up and roll back your guitar's volume for some fat clean tones, then dial up a little grit as you see fit. You also get great-sounding onboard reverb and vibrato for pulling out everything from surf to swamp. Putting a stompbox or two in front of this amp means hours of rewarding tone-tweaking...so be prepared! Fender '65 Princeton Reverb 15-watt 1 x 10 Tube Combo Amp Features:
The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb is a perfect all-tube amp for studio, stage, and playing at home! '65 Princeton Reverb Image Gallery

I havent changed my review but i'd like to respond to the complaint of "no good dont buy"'. Im not sure a about a "splat" sound, but i would bet a months pay that the "problem" you are describing is t... read more [+]he result of Fender shipping these amps with a 5AR4 rectifier tube. I'll grant that The 5AR4 IS an odd choice for a 15 watt vintage Fender combo. The only thing I can guess is Fender wanted the amp to have more compression and a "modern" quick response to try and compete with the super triple-recto-bonecrusher-5 channel-modeling combo on sale at the Big Box store, and thats providing any "splat" your might have heard. Its a shame you sold the amp because simply intalling a 5U4G type or even a 5Y3 ,as the originals used would "solve" it for you. Sag and "Touch dynamic distortion" restored.....Its a shame some people are going to read that lousy review and maybe miss out on buying a great American amp,at a decent price. close [-]
February 8, 2011 Music Background: guitar - amp repair guy/music teacher A Beautiful Amp
by solerso67 from Baltimore
This Fender reissue is IMHO far better than even the original. This Princeton Reverb behaves quite a bit more like an old original Deluxe.I dont know why the guy who left a 1 star review for this amp ... read more [+]did so, except that maybe he thought this amp was going to be like the 70's silverface Fenders that were so "'clean' they could have been used (and often were used) for Bass amps.This little Princeton Reverb is an anachronism (which i hope Fender has the good taste to keep building).It has the voice of early and Brittish Invasion rock n roll , bluesy riff based rock n roll. The long spring reverb alone is ebough reason to have one. But I like to Jump the channels with an ABY box, a Good vibe effect and maybe slight clean boost to heat'er up, for my favorite liquid guitar tones. Its amazing how guys will go on and on about Soldano,Buddah or Bogner, who have copied original Fenders so closely, and dump on Fenders. Maybe Fender should charge $3500.00. NO! forget I said that. close [-]

this amp is almost good, but NOT! i grew up playing a princeton reverb so after playing it for over 15 yrs, i know how they should sound. a decent princeton reverb is absolutely one of the best amps e... read more [+]ver made. fender came close with this reissue and completely blew it.February 1, 2011 Music Background: pro grtst/teacher this reissue amp sounds wonderful with vol on 3 and tones on 5. just like a good orig princeton, the reissue sounds great up to that point. but a princeton is also supposed to sound touch-sensitive gritty on vol5 and have the most amazing touch sensitive distortion up to vol10. the reissue ALMOST does it, BUT there is a horrible "BLAT" sound that accompanies what should be that incredible touch-sensitive distortion. this problem is written about all over the various forums on the web. people refer to it as 'cab rattle', but it's not. believe me, i really did not want to give up on the reissue because it is almost(but not) great, but it was unfixable. people write about changing the tubes, the spkr, the baffle board etc. i was almost going to go that route because i really did want this to work. of course i resent having to rebuild a brand new $900 amp from the ground up! anyway, i decided to test if it was the spkr, or cab as alot of folks who are modding this amp on the web seemed to think, so i plugged into into various spkr cabs i have that work well. it turned out the same problem occurred with perfectly good spkr/cabs. i tried several. i contacted various people who did mod their prri's. several did extensive mods, but then sold them anyway! sorry, but this amp has a design flaw. it's all over the internet. buyer beware. this is a dawg! save your $ and get on orig princeton or one of the clones out there-fender really messed up this chance. close [-] Also popular
