Fender Princeton 68 custom
Description
Fender Princeton 68 Custom in excellent condition.
This has been used for recording by the previous owner and mostly home use by myself.
It has done a handful of small "coffee shop" style gigs.
Comes with Rev/Trem footswitch, and a Fender dust cover.
The reverb is really good but the tremolo is a show stopper and a real highlight for me.

Hey, I've had it for about 3 years.
I got it from a lad here on adverts who was using it for recording.
I'll see if I can work out it's age from the serial number tonight.
For cleans, it's gorgeous at bedroom levels.
If you're looking for something a bit more pushed it does get a bit louder (obviously) but it's better than the 65 reissue or the Blues jnr.
I also have an Iron man mini 2 which pairs with it brilliantly for more break up at very low volumes.
- did it ever need service / new tubes ?.
- Any hum / crackling / rattle / noise when warming up ?
- Is the speaker ok / ever replaced ?
It's never needed a service, but I've given it a once over every so often, pots and contacts cleaned, general tightened up, Caps checked, etc.
I've never had to change the tubes they're A1.
The speaker is original, all good and nicely broken in now.
No unusual noises when warming up.
Hey, I just checked the manufacture date there and it's a 2017 model.
Details from the Fender site below,
Model No; 227200600068
Description; PRINCETON REVERB 230V EUR
Date; 02/2017
It takes a 230/240V supply.
Fair play...I hadn't noticed that.
Main fuse is rated for 250V 1.25 amps long blow.
Picture added.
If you check the serial number on the Fender serial number lookup site it shows this model as 230V Euro supply.
I can assure you, this amp takes a 230V supply.
I've been using it with a 230V supply and there has been no issue.
I'm an industrial electrician by trade and service the amp myself.
You're more than welcome to come a see for yourself.

The above is the info from the Fender website to confirm
I service this amp myself and all is as it should be for 230V supply.
The amp was produced for the European/UK market but most likely fitted with a generic 120V backplate at the factory. European models are specifically designed to handle 230 V to 240 V mains voltage, which this amp is.
Thanks for the interest.
