Description
The ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb revives Fender’s late-’60s silverface design while quietly updating what’s under the hood. Its modified tone circuit was designed with pedal players in mind, giving you more room to shape gain and EQ before the amp itself starts to color things. Reduced negative feedback means the power section reacts faster to your pick attack, so overdrive blooms earlier and breakup feels more organic under your hands.
Powering the single 10″ Celestion TEN 30 speaker is an all-tube signal path: three 12AX7 and one 12AT7 preamp tubes feed a pair of 6V6 power tubes, rectified by a 5AR4. At 12 watts, this is headroom-light by design — a bedroom-to-small-stage amp that starts singing at conversational volumes rather than demanding a full room to open up. It’s the classic recipe for Fender chime with just enough push to break up before things get too loud for the room.
Fender’s tube-driven spring reverb and tube-driven vibrato circuit are onboard, controlled via Volume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Speed, and Intensity knobs, plus a included 2-button footswitch to kick effects in and out on the fly. The cabinet keeps period-correct styling — silverface panel, aluminum drip-edge trim, and black textured vinyl over silver-turquoise grille cloth — with custom Schumacher transformers built to the original spec.
