Firebelly Handwired Princeton Reverb
-Really high quality hand wired recreation (with improvements!)of a vintage '64 Fender Princeton Reverb.
Hand built by the highly respected boutique amp builder father and son team of Steve and Scott Cohen in California.
I've had a few Princetons and clones over the years and I kept this one in preference to a much more expensive Headstrong Lil' King I sold a few years ago!
They amp is wired to the AA1164 Blackface '64 Princeton Circuit but addresses the weak spot of the vintage Princeton by adding a very useful Mid EQ control which allows you to dial in a more "Brownface" character or back it off for that beautiful Blackface sparkle.....and also a Master Volume control for knocking off a bit of the volume if necessary?......(originals are Treble/Bass only and Non Master Volume.
-Tube driven Reverb
-Valve Rectifier
-Mallory Caps
-The other bigimprovement over the original Princeton design is the larger/deeper finger jointed pine cabinet which noticeably improves the sound allowing a more 3D sound spread (the originals can sound a bit "boxy").
- The larger cab also allows a 12" speaker to be fitted (which also greatly improves a Princeton!)
- Amp looks great with a vintage Tweed covering, works perfectly, absolutely nails that vintage Princeton sound. Comes with her original footswitches for the Trem/ Reverb and a protective cover worth £60 Sterling.
-I'm in two minds about selling this beauty so if you're interested move quick before I change my mind! :-)
