Its all-tube circuitry, handwired tube sockets, and custom-made Schumacher transformers make this one of the most accurate historical tribute amps ever made. But Fender went further by reducing the negative feedback for an amp that overdrives faster and has increased touch sensitivity. It houses a 10" Celestion speaker for a distinct rock 'n' roll vibe.

Fender created the all-tube '68 Custom Princeton Reverb combo amp as a tribute to the late-'60s Silverface amps. It's dressed up with the same style of faceplate and silver-turquoise grille cloth with aluminum trim. From the handwired tube sockets to the vintage-spec Schumacher transformers, the Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb delivers the vintage-vibed tone and feel you would expect.

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb isn't a reissue - it's a hot-rodded tribute amp. Fender designed this all-tube combo amp with a modified tone circuit that delivers greater tonal flexibility when used with your favorite effects pedals. They also reduced the amp's negative feedback to give it increased touch sensitivity, and it also starts to overdrive faster. The Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb has a single 10" Celestion speaker that gives it a definite rock 'n' roll flair.

The legendary Fender Princeton Reverb amp of the '60s 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 stompbox or two feeding a simple miked-up Princeton. Today, original Princeton Reverb amps are prized collectibles, and becoming harder to find. The new '68 Custom Princeton Reverb offers today's players all of the great tone and dynamics of the original with a hot-rodded twist. The robust 12-watt combo amp is a wise choice for creating tube tone in a small space, and even provides enough output for small gigs and rehearsals.
