68 custom Princeton Reverb.
Sounds great to me, a lot has been said in the web about these. They are a reissue with modified circuit for earlier breakup and more bass and low mids, and a celestion 10 inch though not one with a big magnet or voice coil so still in the vein of vintage/modified.
It's great at everything advertised but there's a little cab buzzing when loud. I don't notice it if I stand a few feet from the amp. Suppose if I were recording it would be bad. Only on one note, 6th string A. I may try to track it down but so far I don't mind. Even when recording it would probably not be very evident unless the mix was very sparse and I was hanging out on that A note. And at that point who cares the amp is on ten and already sounds gnarly as anything. But people on the web have said this is common and some people hate it. I thought it would be worse cuz of some reviews.
The character of the grit is a little fizzy and also some people hate it but I like the way it goes with a tele. The warmth and compression even out the difference between the pickups and help keep icepick down.
I like deluxe reverb style amps with strats for the chimey, deep, sweet clean tones.
Having a tele and a Princeton is like magic in the same way but for dirt and warmth more mids out of the box.
The tremolo is INTENSE an much better than the pedal I was using on my ss22. Doesn't tick like the drri I once had. Really hypnotic sound in the room that doesn't come across on videos I watched before.
The reverb comes on much quicker than my supersonic as well and gets pretty crazy in a good way.
Really satisfied so far, gonna test it more at lower volumes now that it's late. But I had it cranked all day and it's perfect for cranking in a small room and not running for earplugs. My ss22 seems so loud to me now lol.
Also I love how it looks! The drip edge is cool. The blue indicator lamp is what that should have had to begin with. The blue thread in the cloth looks really nice.
Was a good price compared to tracking down a vintage Princeton, good specimens of which seem to be rising in price and out of my budget. Even cleanish well working pull-boost ones that were anywhere near me were a fair bit more than this "reissue" so I don't feel too bad. Not a perfect scenario but regardless I'm digging it!
