The Fender 68 Custom Princeton Reverb is wonderful amp and comes close to an actually good reissue of the infamous blackface Princeton Reverb, soundwise. Yet the preamp-distortion coming from this thing isn't completely pleasant so to say and since V1 is critical for how the amps signal chain is hit, we can do something about it. V1 needs to be good. And it can also be tamed a little to make behave better, also for pedal use. To my ears it also just sounds a bit warmer and sustains better harmonically with this AT7 in V1.

I switched the V1 and V2 so the AT7 is in V1 and the AX7 is in V2. Improvement to my ear, better clarity and louder. I am keeping it that way.

This was great and very informative. I'm going to have to give this a try on my 68 PR.

Great tunes and playing mate. At 7 the volume is nice to have option. I play my 68 reissue at home mostly at 2. This test would be very interested for people they use it in apartments with strict neighbours

Am eagerly awaiting my new to me 68 custom shop. Had an original silverface it slipped out my hands. I traded it for a Washburn with a floyd and emgs. It was the 90's what can I say. Your demo made me so happy to hear those golden tones!! Good info thanks. Fyi am a P 90 guy as well.

Thank you. I'd love the Princeton but my SuperChamp X2 will have to do for now. I replaced the original speaker with a Jensen alnico blue some while ago and have now replaced the pre-amp tube per your vid. It'll never be a Princeton but it sounds pretty good.

Will this modification hurt the amp in any way over time? Is it fine to simply swap from 12ax7 to 12at7 at will without messing up the bias? Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks for your question and don't worry, the AT7 won't hurt anything. Kind Regards,

I really enjoyed your Princeton silver face video!I have a 1974 model. Love your telecaster tones!! Can you tell me about it? Year, pickup’s etc.

That Tele is a 52' spec replica by Alleycat in NL. It's not the highest grade guitar but a very pleasant workhorse. The bridge pickup is a Van Zandt true vintage. That pickup does a lot of good stuff.

wouldnt it be the same thing if i just plug in to the low input side?
@AldoSpadaroOfficial10 күн бұрын
Good question, maybe it also helps lowering gain somewhat but not to the extend of the ax vs. at in V1 perhaps. Cheers,

Why is your fringe constantly switching sides.? Is it a mod?
