12 Watt all-tube combo with Celestion Creamback speaker and Chilewich cover
The Fender 2019 Limited Edition '65 Princeton Reverb Chilewich Charcoal comes with a cover from the American design company Chilewich and accordingly proves to be a real treat not only sonically but also visually. With the legendary studio secret weapon from 1965 as a model, the compact all-valve combo convinces with first-class clean and drive sounds and a clear vintage attitude. Equipped with three 12AX7 tubes in the single-channel preamp, the guitar amp delivers a lively sound that reacts dynamically to the player and can be increased from crystal-clear cleans to a harmonically bursting Overdrive with the help of attack and guitar volume. Furthermore, the typical Fender effects are available with reverb and tremolo. The 12 watts of power from the two 6V6 tubes are also delivered through a 12" Celestion G12M Creamback speaker, whose warm, woody character is a perfect match for the sound characteristics of the FenderLimited Edition '65 Princeton Reverb Chilewich.

The classical Blacface era tone can be achieved without disturbing neighbours by this low power amp.
I also buy the big brother Deluxe Reverb, which has more headroom but heavier and bigger for carrying. This little Princeton has every good feature that I love in Deluxe Reverb and also have some advantegous for my point of view, such as no extra second similar channel, low power to easy break up, low weight and volume and also I love the 10 inch speaker very much.
For gigs with noisy drummers, Deluxe Reverb and also Vibrolux can be choosen. But for the home or recording players, Princeton is the best amp with its price and mobility.
Although, this is a Blackface amp and priority is clean tone, the power tube break up tone is also impressive. Also, the amp compromises well with overdrive pedals.
