The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is Fender's modern take on the legendary late-'60s Princeton Reverb combo amp. Loaded with a modified tone circuit and 10" Celestion Ten 30 speaker, this 1,000W all-tube amp delivers greater tonal versatility and a distinct rock 'n' roll flavor. The reduced negative feedback also provides increased touch sensitivity and quicker overdrive.

Modified Tone Circuit Offers Enhanced Versatility

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's modified tone circuit provides you greater control over their tone when using effects pedals. Roll back the tone for a warmer, bassier sound or crank it up for brighter highs. This amp handles pedals beautifully, allowing you to craft your signature sound.

10" Celestion Speaker Delivers Punchy Rock Tone

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is equipped with a single 10" Celestion Ten 30 speaker, specially designed to emphasize midrange frequencies important for cutting through a mix. The Ten 30's punchy and aggressive tone is perfect for rock, blues and alternative styles. You'll get rich harmonic overtones at lower volumes and satisfying breakup at higher gains.

Reduced Negative Feedback Increases Sensitivity and Overdrive

Fender reduced the negative feedback on the '68 Custom Princeton Reverb, resulting in greater touch sensitivity and faster overdrive. Notes will bloom more dynamically in response to your playing and natural tube overdrive will kick in quicker when you dig in. The interactive feel and tube saturation are highly responsive to pick attack and volume changes.

Vintage-Inspired Styling

The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's silverface cosmetics pay tribute to the iconic late-'60s Fender amps. It features the same style of control panel, knobs and silver-turquoise grille cloth for a vintage-inspired look. The aluminum trim and chrome accents complete the retro styling.
