1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that
was still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a
silver-and-turquoise front panel and classy aluminum “drip
edge” grille cloth trim, the Princeton Reverb received a fresh
new face as it remained the perfect recording and gigging
amp. Small, light and moderately powered, it produced big
tube tone, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects.
For countless guitarists ever since, the Princeton Reverb has
been the go-to amp for classic Fender sound.
The ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb Amp pays tribute to the
classic look, sound and performance of Fender’s late-’60s
“silverface” amps. In a special twist, a modified tone circuit
gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals, and
the amp’s reduced negative feedback gives greater touch
sensitivity and quicker onset of overdrive. The ’68 Custom
Princeton Reverb’s single 10” Celestion® TEN 30 speaker also
delivers a more distinctively rock ‘n’ roll flavor.
