Fender PR 524 manual Princeton Recording-Amp, Front Panels, Since

Princeton® Recording-Amp

The legendary Fender Princeton® Reverb Amp of the 1960s was originally intended as a practice amp – small, light, and moderately powered, but capable of big tube tone. In the 70s and beyond, countless guitarists found it to be the quintes- sential studio recording amp as they crafted their signature sounds with just a few stomp boxes and a simple miked-up Princeton.

Today, original Princeton Reverbs are prized collectibles. To many home recording enthusiasts, the Princeton is still the best choice for tube tone in a small space. Therefore, the Princeton Recording amp offers all of the great tone and dynamics of the original, plus a few modern studio- friendly features packed in like Power Attenuator, Overdrive, Compressor, and XLR Line Output. The robust 15-Watt power platform even provides enough output for small gigs and rehearsals. Features include:

•All tube preamp, power amp, and Reverb circuitry based on 1965 Princeton Reverb

•15 Watts from two 6V6 output tubes

•One 12AT7 tube and three 12AX7 preamp tubes

•One 10” Jensen C-10R speaker for spanky vintage tones

•Power attenuator utilizes all-new patented Trans-Impedance Amplifier technology, allowing home-friendly power attenuation with full interaction between the power amp and the speaker. Crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive; then set the volume of the speaker as low as you want. The feel and “bounce back” dynamics of the speaker are reflected back to the tube amp and the player’s hands, NOT housemates or family members! The patented circuit eliminates the stiff, lifeless playing feel of other power attenuators, and may be completely bypassed when not needed.

•Genuine Fender spring Reverb by Accutronics

•Speaker Emulated Line Output with XLR connector, Level control, and Ground Lift

•Professional FX loop

•4-button Footswitch included for remote selection of Overdrive, Compressor, Reverb, and FX Loop
