Lewguitar said:It's a very cool amp. I have a '59 Fender Princeton in a '59 Harvard cabinet. The Princeton is the same amp I took lessons on in high school and the Harvard is a 10" amp cab I bought at a guitar show from Mike Mooso with no amp chassis...just the 40 year old cabinet.
Anyway, the Princeton sounds so great in that Harvard cab with the 10" speaker that my blackface Champ that I used to love sounded like poop next to it!
So Bruce took the Champ and built a new baffle for it that would take the same 10" speaker I have in my Princeton: 4 ohm Weber P10RT.
And the tweed Princeton has only a tone control...no bass control. Sounds alot ballsier without the bass control.
So Bruce disconnected the bass control and used the empty hole to mount a resonance control. Don't know exactly what he did but it's useful for dialing in a little more pluck.
When he was done, that Champ sounded like my old Princeton...which sounds like a baby Marshall or something. (Hence Brisk's title for this thread!)
Anyways, Brisk bought that old Champ and I told him he could try it for a while and if he didn't feel it was the best Champ he'd ever heard he could return it to me.
Hope he's diggin' it!

Now you are telling Lew. I was adjusting the bass knob and I was like :dunno:. It was presence knob!!!!Lewguitar said:It's a very cool amp. I have a '59 Fender Princeton in a '59 Harvard cabinet.
