The Princeton is one of the original Fender amplifiers with its origins way back in 1946, when it debuted alongside Leo Fender’s original Deluxe and Professional ‘Woody’ amplifiers; the very first Fenderbadged products. The Princeton evolved through the 1950’s ‘tweed’ era before a fundamental design change resulting in the short-lived but highly coveted 1961 brown-panel combo, which evolved into the later black panel amplifier, with the legendary reverb-equipped version arriving in 1964. Now Fender have resurrected the classic black panel Princeton Reverb as the latest addition to their Tone Master range, which uses digital technology to recreate classic valve designs.
