The Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb: A Vintage Classic with Modern Flexibility

Timeless Tone with a Fresh Look

The Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is a tribute to the iconic late-'60s silver panel amps, combining authentic vintage tone with modern enhancements for today's players. With its 12 watts of tube power and a single 10" Celestion® Ten 30 speaker, this amp is perfect for recording, gigging, or home use. Its silver-and-turquoise front panel, aluminum drip-edge trim, and black textured vinyl covering capture the essence of Fender's transitional silver panel era, delivering both performance and classic style.

Iconic Fender Reverb and Vibrato

Equipped with Fender's legendary tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo, the '68 Custom Princeton Reverb delivers the lush, immersive effects that have defined Fender amps for decades. With simple controls for reverb, speed, and intensity, dialing in your ideal sound is effortless.

Modern Features for Maximum Versatility

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb features a modified tone circuit designed for better compatibility with pedals, making it an excellent choice for pedalboard enthusiasts. The reduced negative feedback provides increased touch sensitivity and quicker overdrive onset, adding expressive dynamics to your playing. Whether you prefer pristine cleans or warm, saturated tones, this amp delivers with ease.

Compact and Portable with Premium Construction

Built with 7-ply birch/maple plywood, the Princeton Reverb is durable and lightweight, making it a reliable companion for gigs and rehearsals. The 10" Celestion® Ten 30 speaker adds a rock-inspired edge to the classic Fender tone, making it suitable for a variety of genres.
