Now we need a Chris Stapleton signature Jazzmaster
I concur.
That would be so sick
lefty too!
What a humble, no flash, genuine way to sell a product.
Yeah it's a great promo. That opening riff is so sweet. I can't not click on it when it pops up on my feed.
He said “if you don’t want to play someone’s signature edition”: We’ll Chris I’m looking at mine sitting here in my living room and proud to have one. I went into the store looking for a Kemper profiler and saw this sitting there and thought “man that’s an old brown face amp. What tard would trade in an amp like that for anything in this store. Realized it was a new reissue amp, sat down and played it and for a week the damn thing haunted me. My Unibox amp wouldn’t get that brown face outta my head so went back and played the shit out of it. Walked out store, turned my car on and thought about how many of Stapleton songs were done with it, went back in and bought it. I’ll never sell it. Thanks Chris for sharing your pursuit of tone with me.
I’ve never been a heavy country listener but when I heard this guy on the Joe Rogan podcast I couldn’t deny how genuine he seemed. Sure enough ended up loving his music and his guitar playing. There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s a nice sounding amp. You can tell the way he talks about it his proud of it. Can’t ask for more tbh
Hate to dig this up after 4 years but DITTO, he's super cool and I love HIS music!
I've played one and although it's ridiculously overpriced it sounds phenomenal. I also have seen Chris live (country is not my thing) but this man is very talented and very humble. Incredible talent, wish I could afford it but hope others will!
Fender is coming out some pretty amazing stuff recently. Between reissue amps, new guitar concepts and pedals. Other manufacturers should take note.
This is beautiful, no other way to put it. I’m sold.
I hope Fender makes a mass produced version of this amp , I love this amp and I prefer the tremolo feature over reverb . You get your reverb for free when you play it at a live gig or record it in a studio. Absolutely gorgeous sounding amp.
Fender should make it a permanent part of thier production lineup
You're so real and humble Chris. Never change that
U deserve it Chris! You've got the best voice on the planet and u seem like a real down to earth dude, rock on Chris!🤘
Everyone is on the modeling kick, but tube amps will never die! From this awesome little amp to the new Marshall 20 watt Superleads, tube amps aren’t going to the pasture.
Tele through a Princeton, and a Les Paul through a Marshall, and a Strat through a Deluxe, pure freakin Heaven.
Too much stereotype here, I'd say Les Paul through a Princeton, Strat through a Marshall and Tele through a JC120. It will change your life!😊
What is this work of art my eyes behold
He's the real deal. Pure. Lucky enough to have seen him in concert recently. Phenomenal. He could make rap sound good.
What a natural storyteller Chris is.
Wow what an honor for Chris and well deserved, such a talent.
Well done and thanks for sharing Chris! Thanks Fender!
Fender always had great amps that's the brand of amps I grew seeing guys in church playing, and that's the brand of amp I ended getting. I could listen to Chris Stapleton talk about amps all day.
Just got mine today! Love it! That tremolo is fire in person. Great tones too! It definitely is the real deal! 4 knobs and the truth baby! 😉
Thanks for the love! 🎸😎 "4 knobs and the truth" !! If you don't lie to her, she won't lie to you!
How much did it cost?
@@simpleagain1 I just got a mint condition used one for 1,600. They are out there..
@@simpleagain1 around $2400 or $2800; can’t remember exactly
You can get a really nice clone kit that is similar for about half that, and pay someone at least $500 to put it together
Maybe look for a nice used one
Brown face 1961-1963....best, so underrated fender amp circuits. Electric cream.
I used to think the blackface amps were the best ever cause srv was my biggest influence. Then I started sitting down with amps like the tweeds and brownface style amps and discovered while I still love the black and silver face tones with the mid scoop I definitely favor the tweed and brownface tones. Sometimes I mean a bit more to the tweed era as I feel there's just a bit more of a nuance happening there that alot of brownface amps don't have. It's really obvious with the cleans. But the brownface has the advantage with cranking it cause the circuit isn't as bass heavy so it doesn't get flubby on the lows like alot of the tweed amps
Happy to hear this man’s style and that haunting Pops Staples sound can be achieved with that little Princeton
Okay. Who wants to buy my Blues Jr... lol I NEED THIS AMP!
And it's 10lbs lighter
I like the blues jr....great lil amp
I was just thinking the EXACT same thing! I like my Blues Jr but this seems really cool
I'll take it lol
haha that blues jr and 2200 more cheddar cheese biscuits
Congrats ,I think its the most overlooked amp in the Fender line up.
A great video! I really like the detailed explanation of the amp. Anyone looking to buy this amp now has a very good idea of what to expect. Fantastic job, Chris! By the way, I love your Jazzmaster! A few months back I bought a beautiful 60th Anniversary Limited Edition '58 Jazzmaster, and a '65 Reissue Twin Reverb in British Tan tolex. I think these were two of the best purchases I ever made!
What a fabulous, humble guy. I own the amp and it’s peerless.
Proud for ya !!! Chris S. ROCKS. LOVE THIS Guy😃
What a cool, down to Earth guy. Amp looks lovely. Top work as always Fender
Would so love to try this amp out, I run through a Deluxe Reverb 65 reissue so I'd love to hear the difference
Plus Chris Stapleton is just amazing, period.
It isn't quite as loud as the Deluxe Reverb and a little more present in the midrange. The tremolo is a little different. The Princeton (6g2) tremolo is a capacitor circuit and the Deluxe (AB763) is an optical.
All iq's at noon just a little bit of reverb
I compared it to a Deluxe Reverb 65 RI and liked the Deluxe better. IMHO the 62 Princeton sounded a bit boxy
Stick with your DRRI.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I got the Sweetwater edition DR 65 reissue on a trade and was eye balling this Princeton. Thanks to these guys replying to your comment I think I'll just keep what I got. This video had me wanting to buy two! I sobered up once seeing the price. Lol
I’ve been keeping my vintage Brownface alive on the road for nearly 10 years. Have to check this out, might have to retire old brownie
I really want to try one of these. Chris has great taste in tone & a Princeton with a 12 is magical. Throw in the brownface trem & WOW! what a package.
Fender you guys are killing it.
This is a no frills amp. Plug and play. Brownface and tweeds are my favorite circuits. Believe I’ll be looking to acquire one. If Chris Stapleton says it’s good, then it’s good.
I could listen to Stapleton jam all day.
This tremolo looks unique!!!
Got mine today....phantastic piece of gear and a good addition to my amp vault.
I’d like to try this. Very much. May try and find one this weekend.
Chris is the man.
Heard a vintage one of these years ago at a Guitar Show and thought it was one of the best sounding amps I’ve ever heard! Would love to own one. The Stryman Flint has a great digital recreation of this tremolo if you’re like me and don’t have 2k for a new amp.
When I get famous, I'll have my own signature Frontman 15G....and you will all be able to get one!!
saukndn56 a frontman 😂
I'll be in line at midnight for it! Let me know when it drops
@@alexmurphy5289 lol
😂😂😂this dude said a frontman LMBO
People can say what they want about the Frontman but a 15g dialed in right with a hss strat can sound great I love mine and occasionally come back to it has great cleans and could do gritty stuff just fine 99% of the time people that cant play or make due with what they have always will hate on cheaper stuff when its all about the player its no different then how a car performs its all on the person.
I love his tone so much
It was great to hear how the amp came about, but actually hearing some sounds would've been good too.
Nice! I have an original '63 "white knob" Princeton. One of the best amps of all time.
Me too! Love the transition era "tuxedo" look
Now THAT'S a product promo video. Great job Fender. Great job Chris.
So awesome!! Can’t wait to play it!!!!
The first time I heard a Princeton amp with 12” speaker it was revelation.
Looks amazing!
My favorite amps are fender tube amps! Love them so much. I have a 68 deluxe reverb reissue and a hot rod deluxe iii. Need this amp now!!
Such a unique tone!! Amazing....
This is one of those videos where you click the thumbs-up button 5 seconds after it starts. What a totally awesome amp. There really aren’t enough brownface Fenders in the world, am I right? And a 12” speaker is totally the way to go. Good job Fender and Chris!
David Parker *And then take it back after completing the video and realizing that he didn't play a single note after that initial chord he strummed white the video opened😉
aunt jenifer Lol, that did cross my mind! He definitely could have have ended it with a little strumming, but oh well. It was still cool. I enjoyed the bond he has with this amp. Obviously a deep love story.😉
Just bought a different but similar princeton... Best buy I've ever made musically
What a great great video Chris made,super intetesting!!Thanks!
Country Artist playing a Jazzmaster pretty fucking cool!!!🤯🔫🎸
Vibrato = change in pitch. Tremolo = change in volume.
musicnphotos1 pretty much the opposite on most fender products. Thanks Leo!
Brownface fenders had harmonic tremolo. It sounds like a trem and a phaser had a baby.
Stefan Bukcev brownface Princeton and Deluxes didn’t have harmonic trem. It’s a bias tremolo. Hard to say what they did with this amp (not much playing in this video), but if it’s a true reissue of the 62 circuit, it should be bias trem, not harmonic trem. The higher powered brown face amps (think super, on up) were the amps from that era with harmonic trem.
@@mscheiner10 To my ear it *sounds* like bias trem.
Andy Salinas not always. Not back in the day
Dark & Moody!!
WoW
Love Chris and this video so much. Gearhead satisfied.
I love it.
I had an original. If I had known I would play harmonica later in my life I wouldn't have sold it.
And my tweed Harvard . . .
Proper bias tremolo! Wow, they actually made a reissue with proper bias tremolo!
That stuff is hard on the power tubes but damn if it isn't smooth as melted butter.
...Tennessee whiskey even?...
Cool ...keep it simple ...great low end gives sweet tones
If I compare this to my vintage 62 Princeton with the 10“ speaker,this amp really does the job fantastically.I always had to use an extension 1x12“ cab(with an EV 12l) to get the amp decent sounding.With this factory modified 12“ Princeton I leave the extension cab in my studio.....
I love so much fender ressue amps....for me they are the best......
This thing is more expensive than an actual 1962 brownface Princeton
Got mine for $1,600 new. You just gotta keep your eye out for it 😉
@@itaintmebabe714 Yep! Deals can be had for for sure this is a successful amp so far so fender will deal
Yup. The reliability of an original 1962 brownface can be had for less money, initially. But you'll pay your amp tech enough that you'll eventually wish you'd bought one of these. Take it on the authority of a guy who still plays blackface amps.
12" princeton. I like that
Hey - we have something in common!! I never ever thought that in my lifetime I'd see a $2,399.99 Princeton Reissue!! What a coincidence!!
in my country, the originals are all but impossible to find and run 2-3 times higher than the prices seen on reverb and other online market places. i'm beyond excited to give this a try. have been after one for the better part of a decade but i'm not willing to go broke over it
Spectacular!
I owned a brownface Princeton back in the 80's. Someone had spray painted it black and I paid $300 for it. Chris is right about two things, nothing sounds like the Vibrato on those amps and it was hell keeping it running. I finally got tired of chasing parts and sold it for $750 at a guitar show and regretted it ever since. I'm getting one of these.
"Chris is the man,and thanks for the shout out im from Cincinnati,Ohio,keep pickin and grinin"
I’m lucky to actually have one of the ‘62 tube. Nice remake fender.
Never heard of Chris Stapleton but that amp is sweet as candy.
Go listen to his three albums, they're incredible even for a non-country listener.
@@blainebauman572 I will check him out! He's certainly got great taste in guitar amplifiers! I do like some country, like classic (Hank Williams, Johnny Cash etc) and some "outlaw" country.
Patrick Foster if you like outlaw country then you definitely need to check out Chris. He is not like this modern crap country. He is the real deal.
@@kileybarton467 Thanks, will do!
Also check out his song called "on the run" from when he was the lead singer for the jompson brothers. It is a much more bluesy rock sound compared to his other stuff too. He's got a good range of music tbh
This is a gorgeous thing!
Sounds like a great little amp. Would like to have heard more playing.
For those of you here that don't know who this guy is, check out The Steeldrivers first two album's. They're incredible from start to finish.
That’s a really pretty looking amp.... Sounds great too....
FYI: Chase Bliss Gravitas does that brownface tremolo thing, spot on.
this thing sounds glorious.
OK, with all due respect, there is a pedal that does the biased modulating tube circuit at high voltage. It even sounds like your amp and the Brown Faces through the interwebings. It is called the KINGSLEY "BARD", and there is about a 3-4 year wait for them. I own one, and can attest to its authenticity. I run it through my FDRR, and it is magic.
I think Chris could make a Fender frontman sound great. But, nice work Fender! You can't beat that sound, so great. You'll sell thousands of these easy...
I don't need it, but its so tempting. In his understated way, Chris is a good salesman :)
Magic indeed. I want one pleeeease
Some guy modified an amp and Chris Stapleton buys it. That’s how history is made.
Will this amp make me sing like Chris Stapleton? If so, I will take three.
It's about God damn time this man got his own signature amp. That's country.
One day I’ll have one, just did buy my first tube amp, a super champ X2 and love it
Excellent choice i have one myself and love it. I can definitely get that princeton tone
I see people thowing alot of hate towards those amps. Personally ive never heard one that didnt sound good. Another one that has really hit me in the ear recently is the "vibrochamp xd" it has a sweet clean that the x2 and the other champion incarnations just dont seem to have.
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 I like the vibro champ xd also. I got a good deal on my used super champ. Also has the versatility to plug in and download pretty much any tone you're looking for. As far as getting a better clean tone with it i've ran it through a different cab its pretty much just the difference in speakers. Eventually ill upgrade the one that's in it.
I agree, I have the super champ XD and it's amazing!!
The harmonic tremolo is only availiable on the Pro amps, not the princeton and below. That being said, the tremolo and sound of this amp is spectacular.
We really need a handwired version of Fender Bassman! :)
Ten thumbs up ... Chris is the coolest
Chris is great and all but when I see an amp I want to hear the amp.
shadow_gritz come on man, don’t you wanna hear him talk for 7 minutes straight???
@@codymcgrew4015 sure, if it was just an interview of Chris and not a video about this AMP.
It’s the amp on his albums. Listen to them.
@@OleDiz I have, but that's not the point of my comment.
I’m just saying you’re complaining about a video of Chris talking about his amp, and there’s literally 100 videos of this amp reviewed and played. You could also try to play it yourself at a local shop. I enjoyed listening to him.
It's about time Fender realizes that the Brownface era was the most fascinating period in the history Fender amps: so many new innovations happened during that short 3-or-so year period. The 6G2 Princeton stands there among the very best amps ever made, Fender or otherwise. Perhaps a 6G3 Deluxe reissue next? Let alone the 6G6-B Bassman and 6G7-A Bandmaster...
Good gravy!!! What a tone!! Especially for a technical reissue! And that tremolo effect on the brown face designs! And i know these have a modification of a 12 inch speaker instead of a 10. Sometimes the 10 is perfect for gigs like me with a duo project where im not battling a drummer and volume is a concern. But that 12 is great for the brownface and blackface princetons if you want to get some more oomph. Especially for the princeton reverb since it has that classic blackface mid scoop. Which the brownface has a leg up with since due to the lack of the tone stack it naturally has more of a mid push. Which as many gigging musicians know is crucial Especially in a band with a keyboard or extra guitarist.
Sounds good.
Man it makes me feel good too see someone get what they deserve. Now if I could only afford one for myself. Lol. Ill get one soon enuff. Of course I dont personally know Chris but, from what I can see with my own 2 eyes, he seems like a damn good guy. Once again, it feels damn good too see a guy get what he deserves. And on top of that, the man sincerely appreciates it.
Im happy for you Chris. Thanks for all the good tines and good times. See you around.
- Bryan-
YES!
That’s very nice. I’m not a big fan of tremolo and prefer the BF Princeton Reverb personally, but that looks and sounds fantastic.
My tastes are more in line with the British EL34 amps but this amp sounds fantastic. I bet this Princeton paired with a Princeton Reverb would be superb.
Willies did a comparison, this and the original. I like this reissue, it sounds a little different as you'd expect, but still has great tone.
I’m a simple man, I see fender I buy
Awesome
Dear Mr. Chris Stapleton, Is it possible to make this amp with a tube driven FX Loop ? I would love that ! Blues On....💙
I dig this.
Another Princeton fan, Joe Bonamassa had a nice tid bit of info,,,
crank the amp but turn the guitar down abit. kept it from squashing.
Hearing it more would help.
Making music through a reverb 25 with a pedal board bij Boss (me25)
Is that piece at the beginning a song of his, or just him improvising. Anyone know?
