215-2000-000 120V
The legendary Princeton Reverb Amp of the 1960s was small, light and
moderately powered – but capable of big tube tone. In the ’70s and
beyond, countless guitarists made it the quintessential studio recording
amp, crafting signature sounds with a stomp box or two, feeding that
simple “miked-up” Princeton.
Today, original Princeton Reverb amps are prized collectibles, and a wise
choice for creating tube tone in a small space. The Princeton Recording
Amp offers all of the great tone and dynamics of the original, plus several
modern studio-friendly features. The robust 15-Watt platform even provides
enough output for small gigs and rehearsals.
• All tube preamp, power amp, and Reverb circuitry based on
classic 1965 Princeton Reverb
• 15 Watts into a 10” Jensen® C-10R speaker for “spanky” vintage tones
• 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.
• Two “stomp box” effects, which can be completely
disengaged from the signal path as desired:
- Three-knob Overdrive, based on traditional stomp box tones
- Two-knob Compressor, based on classic recording-friendly
units, adds sustain
• 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
• Four-button Footswitch included
16.5” H x 20” W x 10.75” D, 45 lbs.
