Whats the difference between 65 and 68 deluxe reverb?
’65 Reissues have the same “Blackface” tone circuit on both sides. The 68 Princeton Reverb has only one channel so it features the “bassman” tone circuit. Deluxe Reverb has the bright cap removed on the “Vintage” side to make the amp more pedal-friendly. The ’65 Deluxe has the bright cap, like the original.
Is Fender Princeton a Blackface?
Reissue. In Summer 2008, Fender reissued the Princeton Reverb. While it is based on the Blackface version, and utilizes a tube rectifier and a tube reverb, it uses printed circuit boards instead of eyelet-style hand-wired circuit boards.
Does a Princeton Reverb have a bright cap?
For example, the Princeton sounds smoother than the Deluxe Reverb’s vibrato channel, because the Princeton does not have the 47 pF bright cap. That allows many players to easily find a sweet tone in the Princeton, which pairs well with various guitars and takes pedals splendidly, too.
How much does a Fender Princeton Reverb cost?
The Vintage Modified Silverface amps are not strict ReIssues, but rather re-invented homages to the originals. At $849, I’d say the Princeton is a little overpriced – especially compared to the $999 Deluxe Reverb which is a much more nuanced piece of sonic kit.
What kind of AMP does a Fender Reverb have?
Fender’s Vintage Modified Series has recently introduced three Silverface amps—a Twin Reverb, a Deluxe Reverb (which I’ve also had the chance to review), and a Princeton Reverb. I love a light but powerful amp, so I was stoked to be able to take the Princeton on a weekend getaway and see how it sounded.

Meanwhile, the ’65 Reissues have the same Blackface tone circuit on both channels. Also separating the ’68 Customs from the ’65 Reissues, specifically the corresponding Deluxe Reverbs, is the bright cap. The ’65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue has the bright cap like the original, while the ’68 Custom Deluxe does not.
What kind of tone does a Fender Princeton have?
Backing off the guitar’s volume control just a hair helped smooth things out, but when it comes to driving this amp hard to get overdrive, your mileage may vary. The Princeton has great, flat clean tone up until it breaks up, at which point it can get somewhat buzzy sounding, but the reverb and tremolo are classic Fender all the way.
