1979 Fender Princeton Reverb Black

Offered for sale;

Used 1979 Fender Princeton Reverb serial number A953405.

This amp is in very good condition fully functional, cosmetically showing some brightwork tarnishing, tolex wear and grille imperfections. The original speaker has been upgraded with an Eminence Patriot Series “The Copperhead” model. The upper back panel is not original.

The early Princeton Reverb amps both blackface and silverface have become icons of low wattage recording amps. This amp is comfortable at home and in the studio or gig. Powered by a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes driving two 6v6 power tubes making about 12 watts of power. The Princeton is tube rectified by a 5U4 and uses a 12AT7 and 12AX7 (substitute for a 7025) to drive the spring reverb and tremolo section.

The resulting amplifier boasts big cleans, smooth overdriven tones, classic Fender reverb and some of the finest tremolo around.

Great example of a desirable Fender combo!

If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
