1968 was a year of transition for Fender amplifiers, retaining the pure Fender tone but introducing a brand-new look. With a silver and turquoise front panel and an elegant aluminium "drip edge" cloth grille trim, the Princeton Reverb received a fresh face while remaining the perfect amplifier for recording and live performance. Compact, lightweight, and moderately powered, it delivered big tube tone with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists since then, the Princeton Reverb has been the go-to amplifier for classic Fender sound.
The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb amplifier pays tribute to the classic look, sound, and performance of late '60s Fender silver panel amps. In a special twist, a modified tone circuit gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals, while the amplifier's reduced negative feedback provides increased touch sensitivity and quicker overdrive response. The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's 10" Celestion® TEN 30 speaker also delivers a more distinct rock 'n' roll flavour.
