GaryT Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Believe it or not many Fender players claim they are the best sounding Clean Fender amp "ever"?
Jeff R Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Those amps kick absolute ass. Put vol, bass and treble on "6" and you're in the sweetest breakup heaven, fully controllable with the guitar's vol knob. Somebody has to keep it in the HFC family.
zenmindbeginner Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 The 6V6 tubes sound COMPLETELY different from 6L6 tubes. I grew up with my Dad's blackface Princeton in the house and I am really familiar with it's sound. Those 6V6 tubes don't have the glassy and shimmery sound of 6L6 tubes and don't get nearly as loud. But, they have this slightly spongy or squishy type of overdrive that allows one to crank the amp up to ten without waking up the neighborhood and or splitting your ear drums. The Princetons also sound extremely detailed without the glassy sheen that the 6L6 tubes provide. The result is probably the most natural sounding amp that I have ever heard. The vibrato uses the bias, so if you haven't gotten this thing blueprinted the vibrato may not be as intense as it should be, but anyone's tech would LOVE to work on this amp and would probably charge very little because it is such a joy to be able to blueprint these babies. Alas, I am not crazy how the Princetons have risen in value like mad the last ten years. $1500 is the going rate for Super Reverbs and Twins... I have seen Deluxes go for that much. To pay $1500 for a 12 inch combo when you can get 4 x 10s and 2 x 12s for the same price seems a bit much. The Princetons recent appreciation bump is not the sellers fault, so he is selling it for fair market value. You'll just have to wait for some tone hound that is looking for one of the most detailed and natural sounding amp in the world and is willing to pay the high price for it... they've nearly doubled in value the past ten years. Most blackfaces have appreciated at around 20% in that same time frame. I would hang on to the amp for another ten years unless civilization will end in 2012, if it does, then you might as well sell it now. lol! This amp has TONE for DAYS!!!!!! Here's Spock having an eargasm while listening to a Princeton Reverb on ten for the first time.
Punkavenger Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 My amp tech just sold one not as nice for $1850 ...
