Similar to the idea behind the Vibrochamp, the Princeton Reverb was essentially all the good parts of its predecessor, the Tweed Princeton, but with a long-spring reverb and tube-driven tremolo circuit added. These amps were ideal not only for use in the studio, but for traveling and gigging with as well.
What is a blackface Princeton Reverb?
The Blackface Princeton Reverb has been a staple in guitar tone since its inception in 1964. Similar to the idea behind the Vibrochamp, the Princeton Reverb was essentially all the good parts of its predecessor, the Tweed Princeton, but with a long-spring reverb and tube-driven tremolo circuit added.
Can the Paul C Mod be used with a Princeton Reverb?
The Paul C Mod can be applied to any cathodyne phase inverter not just the Princeton Reverb. The Paul C Mod’s 2.2M bias resistor forms a voltage divider with the 1M grid leak to set the fixed bias voltage at 75v. The grid leak resistor is grounded and the cathode resistor is not needed so it is deleted.
What is the difference between the aa1164 Princeton Reverb and AB763?
The AA1164 Princeton Reverb is a 2x6V6 push-pull amp that’s very similar to the AB763 blackface amps except for these major differences: The Princeton Reverb uses a cathodyne phase inverter instead of the AB763’s long tail pair (LTP).
