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 Surf-Tone Blue FSR 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.

Perfect for studio work

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 Surf-Tone Blue FSR combines portability, 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!

Customized looks and upgraded tone

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 Surf-Tone Blue FSR is your guitar's best friend. It's got the wattage to do the job, while its upgraded single 10" Jensen P10R speaker punches up the mids, giving it a borderline British tone. The cool two-tone cosmetics set it apart from any other amp on the stage. A compact design means you don't need a cube van to transport the '65 Princeton Reverb Surf-Tone Blue FSR; it fits easily in your trunk or back seat. Once you plug and and play this amp onstage, you won't want to stop!

Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Surf-Tone Blue FSR 15-watt 1 x 10 Tube Combo Amp Features:
  • Limited-edition Princeton Reverb with custom cosmetics and upgraded speaker
  • White and Surf Green tolex covering
  • Speaker: 1 x 10" Jensen P10R speaker
  • The perfect practice, studio, and small club amp with reverb and vibrato
