Fender Princeton Recording

Princeton Recording description:

The Fender Princeton Recording-Amp offers all of the great tone and dynamics of the original, plus several modern studio-friendly features.

The Fender Princeton Recording-Amp's all-tube preamp, power amp and reverb circuitry is based on the classic ’65 Princeton Reverb, and, with 15 watts and a 10” Jensen speaker, it provides spanking vintage tone and enough output for small gigs and rehearsals. The trans-impedance power attenuator lets you crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive and set the speaker volume as low as you want (even silent for headphone use)!

Other features include two classic onboard “stomp box” effects (overdrive and compression), genuine tube-driven Fender spring reverb by Accutronics, headphone output, speaker emulated line output with level control and ground lift, speaker output jack (internal speaker may be disconnected for use with other 8-ohm enclosures, professional FX loop and four-button footswitch.

The Trans-Impedance Power Attenuator (U.S. Patent # 6,816,009) allows players to crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive; then set the volume of the speaker as low as desired-even SILENT for headphone use! Unlike other attenuators, the lively feel and "bounce back" dynamics of the speaker are reflected back to the tube amp and the player's hands. This exclusive circuit may be completely bypassed when not needed.

The Fender Princeton Reverb Amp of the 1960s, though small, light and moderately powerful, produced giant tube tone. In the ’70s and beyond, it earned a rep as the quintessential studio recording amp, and original Princeton Reverb amps are highly sought after in today’s vintage market as collectibles and as a wise choice for creating great tube tone in a small space.
