Great review Tony. Also thanks for using humbuckers for the demo. All other demos of this amp I’ve seen used single coil guitars.

Wow, that is a versatile little beast, nice low end from the 10" speaker. They are definitely not just for "spanky cleans". I would like to try one someday and put a fuzz in front

Wow I’m surprised. Usually when I hear the idea of a ten inch speaker I automatically think it’s gonna be thin and unusable. But this sounds pretty good. My buddy has a Princeton but I think his is a 1x12 but he loves it. Most fender amps are just great cleans and handle pedals well.

I found that the stock speaker holds this amp back in many ways. I have had great success with a Celestion Greenback 10" and the Eminence GA10-SC64. Cheap upgrades either way and they retain the nice cleans, but allow overdrives to blossom nicely.

I one of the things I like about fender amps like these is that the knobs are easily accessible at the front of the amp. I can't understand why amps like the Katana or the Mustang GTX put them at the back. How does that help the player?

The noise from the cage could be cured with a redesigned cage. Even played clean that noise would annoy me. I think that the amp is better suited to clean playing with single coil pickups. Still a great amp for small venues or practice. Thanks for your demo Tony.

@@addictedtogear You would think that during the design and prototype testing they would find these problems, but they never seem to. Having worked as a Hi-Fi tech, you used to see the manufacturers making the same design fault time after time, it kept me in a job but why they didn't put things right frustrated me and my customers. Sadly Fender have a history of design mistakes, we can see the problem and how to fix it, but i think that since Leo sold Fender, the will to correct design faults is just not there.

Thank you, Tony! Great Video. I also like the sound of ten inch speakers. I play my Marshall SV20 with two old 4x10 cabs from the 80ies. In my opinion this sounds better than with my 2x12 cab. Have you checked this Princeton with other speakers and cabs? As I remember , the Princeton has an external speaker out. A comparison and your opinion would be nice.

Thanks Tony for the review of the amp - enjoyed your comments and playing. I’ve been looking at buying this amp but can’t try one out. I’ve seen the issues with the amp having too much bass and flubbing/farting out when pushed. Did you find that ? Seems to happen when driving the amp via volume rather than a pedal. The tube rattle seems consistent also. I’m looking at amp for home use. Have a Friedman for the heavier stuff. But looking at amp for cleans and rock. Blues lead etc. Not too dark. I’d love to hear your comments. Stuck in lock down in Australia. If not this amp any other suggestions. Many thanks - love your channel !!

I found the flub to be less so with this model. Some tube rattle but that seems to be same on all Fender amps with a tube cage. Other than this amp the other choice may be a Deluxe reverb. Thanks for watching!

The cleans on this amp with the reverb are absolutely heavenly, super fat low end, takes pedals well, but turned up past 5 and it starts sounding like the speaker is blown. I replaced the speaker to see if this would help, no go. It’s a really nice studio or practice amp. But if you’re trying to get your distortion from the amp, look elsewhere.

Change the speaker to a Celestion G10 Gold. You gain 3.5dB and more spank. Turn the bass to 3 and treble to 7. Cuts through the mix in a band situation.

Uh, I have one those vintage modified 68 silver face rigs and… it’s great with single coils for classic rock tones! It breaks up plenty… more than sufficient natural overdrive with single coils. Really hazy! It’s designed for pop and classic rock more so than rockabilly, surf, roots, and country like the blackface. Also; IMPORTANT!!! midrange? You want midrange? Fender amps like this are deductive eq. To scoop it play with high treble and bass setting, adjust volume. Want a crap ton of mid? Play with low treble and bass settings, turn up the volume… get naturally voiced midrange from the guitar.
