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 Tremolo 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" Special Design speaker is voiced perfectly to the amp. A compact design means you don't need a van to transport the '65 Princeton Reverb; it fits easily in your trunk or back seat. Once you plug in 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 tremolo 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:
  • Limited-edition Princeton Reverb with custom Sparkle tolex covering
  • One 10" Special Design speaker
  • The perfect practice, studio, and small club amp with reverb and tremolo
  • Tubes: 3 x 12AX7, 1 x 12AT7, 2 x 6V6, 1 x 5AR4 rectifier tube
  • Accessories: 2-button footswitch and amp cover
The Fender '65 Princeton Reverb: plug in a fall in love!
