Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Princeton Reverb is one of Fender's amps that has become a recording reference: moderate power, great musicality, and iconic built-in effects. With the '68 Custom series, Fender pays tribute to the "silver panel" era of the late 1960s, adopting the aesthetic codes of the time while introducing circuit tweaks designed for today's guitarists. Within the lineup, this '68 Custom Princeton Reverb stands as a premium compact combo: a true Fender tube sound, easy to push, and particularly pedalboard-friendly.
Who This Amp Is For
This amp targets intermediate to advanced guitarists (and discerning beginners) seeking an expressive tube combo that is lightweight and simple to dial in. Its 12 watts are perfect for home studio and studio use to capture detailed cleans and natural crunch tones at reasonable volume, while remaining usable for rehearsals or small gigs (often miked). It excels in blues, vintage rock, country, surf, indie, and pop-anywhere dynamics, punchy attacks, and clear articulation are desired.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Fender 68 Custom Princeton Reverb suitable for home studio use?
Its 12 watts provide detailed cleans and a natural crunch at moderate volume. The 10-inch Celestion Ten 30 speaker delivers a punchy response, while the 4-spring 4AB3C1B spring reverb can be adjusted directly from the front panel.
What power and speaker does this combo feature?
The amplification delivers 12 watts through a 10-inch Celestion Ten 30, which is 254 mm. The total impedance is 8 ohms.
Can pedals be used with this Princeton Reverb '68 Custom?
The modified tone circuit is designed for good compatibility with overdrives, fuzz, boosts, and modulation pedals. The absence of an effects loop means pedals are connected in front, to one of the two 6.35 mm jack inputs. Input 2 applies a reduced level of 6 dB.
Are the reverb and tremolo footswitchable?
A two-button footswitch is provided to turn the reverb and vibrato on or off. Tremolo settings include speed and intensity.
What tubes are installed in this Fender amp?
The power stage uses two 6V6 tubes and one 5AR4 rectifier. The preamp combines one 12AT7 with three 12AX7 tubes, with custom Schumacher transformers.
