The Fender ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb is a beautifully refined throwback amp designed for modern players who crave vintage charm without compromise. At its heart, this is a hand-wired 40-watt combo built around Fender’s famous “black panel” Princeton circuitry but enhanced with modern tweaks and cosmetic flair.
The amp features a striking silver and blue tweed covering that evokes classic Fender style. Under the hood, two 6V6 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes, arranged in an all-tube signal path, deliver lush cleans, juicy breakup, and rich harmonic content. The spring reverb and the 165 circuit lend that signature Fender sparkle and depth—especially when you roll back your guitar’s volume.
Modern touches include a modified tremolo circuit with improved speed and depth, a hand-picked tube set, and selective component upgrades to ensure stable performance and tone consistency. Whether you're recording in the studio, playing gigs, or jamming at home, this amp combines vintage voice, hand-crafted build, and stage-ready reliability.
