Fender ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb Guitar Amplifier
1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that was still pure Fender but with a brand new silver-and-turqoise front panel and classy aluminum “drip edge” grille cloth trim look. With a silver-and-turquoise front panel and classy aluminum “drip edge” grille cloth trim, the Princeton Reverb received a fresh new face as it remained the perfect recording and gigging amp. The small, light and moderately powered amp produced big tube tone, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists ever since, the Princeton Reverb has been the go-to amp for that classic Fender sound.

The Fender ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic look, sound and performance of Fender’s late-’60s “silverface” amps. In a special twist, a modified tone circuit gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals, and the amp’s reduced negative feedback gives greater touch sensitivity and quicker onset of overdrive. The ’68 Custom Princeton Reverb’s single 10” Celestion® TEN 30 speaker also delivers a moredistinctively rock ‘n’ roll flavor.

  • 12 watts
  • 10” Celestion® Ten 30 speaker
  • Late-’60s Fender “silverface” look
  • Modified Princeton Reverb all-tube circuitry
  • Handwired tube sockets
  • Custom-made Schumacher® transformers
  • Fender tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo
Tube Circuitry: Simply put, there’s really nothing quite like the pure, powerful sound of a Fender tube amplifier. For decades, the tonal richness and touch-sensitive dynamics of real tubes have given Fender amps a defining and unmistakable voice, as heard on most professional recordings and performances of the past 60 years—the music you’ve known your whole life.
Spring Reverb: Among their many fine sonic attributes, Fender guitar amps like this one are prized in particular for their luscious spring reverb. For that wet, shimmering ambient sound ranging from subtle to cavernous, Fender lets you dial it in exactly to taste.
Tremolo: Rich, pulsating tremolo in any shade from subtle to stupendous is simply part of Fender’s guitar-amp DNA. Always has been and always will be.
