The legendary Fender Princeton Reverb Amp of the 1960s was small, light, and moderately powered. Though intended for practice situations, the Princeton was capable of big tube tone, and Fender’s world class Reverb and Vibrato effects were the icing on the cake. From its inception ‘til today, countless guitarists have chosen it as their go-to studio amp, crafting signature sounds with a stomp box or two feeding a simple miked-up Princeton. Today, original Princeton Reverb amps are prized collectibles, and becoming harder to find.

I bought this from zZounds' Reverb shop just the other day. I think I'm one of the first people to order this particular Limited Edition. Let me just say that's it's totally worth it!The combo is aesthetically gorgeous, a big upgrade from the standard Fender tolex and grill cloth, IMO. It just looks expensive and classy and both a little bit country and/or a little bit rock 'n roll.Then there's the sound. Two things are worth noting vis-a-vis a standard run 65 PRRI; 1.) The G10 speaker is a huge upgrade. It's amazing. 2.) I have no evidence of this other than my ears, but it seems that either the tubes are better quality than a standard PRRI or maybe it was more carefully biased or whatever, but it's amazingly quiet and the tone is pure sweetness, more than I would expect, and more than I have gotten in the past, from a high-volume production fender model. And, like any PRRI, it takes pedals like you wouldn't even believe.
