This was fantastic. I purchased a (2017) 65 Princeton Reverb and it has exceeded my expectations. (I run the amp on Volume 3 or 4 max) - and use a Barber Gain Changer SR. Phenomenal sounding amp. Really enjoyed your informative video. oNe LovE from NYC
I have a 68 Princeton RI, purchased new in 2020. I have played many gigs with it. It has a very mid-forward sound. Swapped out the stock speaker for a Jupiter w ceramic magnet. Sounded good before and even better w new speaker. Fortunately this particular amp is very quiet, no hiss and has been a great pedal platform. I like it more than my 65 Deluxe RI!
I also replaced my Fender '65 Princeton RI with new F&T elec caps. . .was having an oscillation when reverb was turned past "6" and also a hum when reverb was on . . . once the elec caps were replaced the hum went away and ditto for the oscillation . . . I also rewired V2 that Lyle Psionic Audio had on his mod page . . . amp sounds great now 😎 . . .
I also play my 68 in larger venues and open air festival. Still works for me! And also, I was wondering what you think about changing the speaker of the 68? I saw people putting in a greenback speaker. Thank you for the video and your reply!
I've stayed with the stock speakers on my Princetons, they sound great to me. I did put a Greenback in a Deluxe Reverb reissue and its a great speaker but I'm not so sure it was worth the cost. Why are you interested in changing the speaker? Thanks for watching and the comment too!
I don't know about the reissues but I have a original 1965 Princeton reverb and if I plug an extension cab into it (a single 12" closed) leaving the internal speaker plugged in it screams.
Thanks for watching. You may wish to proceed with caution plugging in extension cabs/speakers while leaving the internal speaker plugged in. You actually get less power and put stress on the output transformer, which can easily lead to failure.
Awesome..will do the same upgrade with caps..I'm deluxe reissue..it went down a year into my ownership..they fixed it ??and has been fine ever since..i have changed some tubes but nothing else..i am not schooled enough to do my own work..but i know a guy..lol..am thinking of putting the two rock speaker in my deluxe..thanks for this.
No they aren’t. I have several Fender Princeton amps. The new ones as of 2024 are still killer amps and still made well. My most recent one from 2022 - i gig all over and it still sounds great. Fender amps are great amps for the money.

Nice video. Would be cool to hear the before and after of each alteration as you go along.

Psionic Audio has some good videos on improving these.
Yes. Lyle is also very knowledgeable about Amplifiers, and shows significant upgrades. I wish I know how to do-this-stuff.

Thanks for watching, :)
£1300 for a noisy amp using cheap components. Jeez!
Don't get the new ones. They are cheaply made. They won't last.
