Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Tube Amplifier (1967)
LOADING IMAGES
Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Model Tube Amplifier (1967), made in Fullerton, California, serial # A-11290, black tolex covering finish.
Overall this is possibly the cleanest and most stunningly well-preserved example we've ever had of one of the hottest amps going today, vintage or modern: the black-panel Fender Princeton Reverb. The combination of clean, crunch and natural overdrive this model offers perfectly suits the modern world's lower volume requirements, and they always sound great in any context. The mid-'60s Princeton came as a Reverb and non-Reverb model, both featuring a single-channel layout with two instrument inputs. A dual 6V6-power section into a 10" speaker puts out around 10-12 watts of power. The Reverb-equipped model offers earlier clipping and more overall preamp saturation, due to the additional circuitry of the onboard effect. These are truly excellent gigging amplifiers and work perfectly as a stand-alone amp, as well as a pedal platform for the modern stylist.
Height is 16 in. (40.6 cm.), 20 in. (50.8 cm.) width, and 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm.) deep.
This is a lovely early CBS-era amp in fabulous cosmetic condition; the tube chart ink-stamp is QH, indicating assembly in August of 1967. The black Tolex covering is amazingly clean and free of any notable tears or rips and hardly any wear to show overall. The grill cloth is in impeccable shape as well, taut and with no visible tears or rips. The control panel is virtually spotless, with all the original knobs intact. The plastic Fender logo is clean and intact and the chassis straps and handle hardware are shiny with little-to-no signs of tarnishing. The amp retains its original two-button footswitch as well as its original black cover, made by Victoria Luggage Co.
Internally this amp is nicely original. The original 10" Oxford 10J4-3 speaker bears the code 465-704, dating it to the 4th week of 1967. The power, output and reverb transformers are all original and marked 606-719, 831-6720 and 606-721, dating them to the 19th, 20th and 21st weeks of 1967, respectively. Visible pot codes all date to mid-1966. The amp is even still rocking what likely are its original power and rectifier tubes! It has otherwise seen our typical servicing and maintenance, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, install of a 3-prong grounded power cord, cleaning of all sockets, pots and jacks and biased to spec.
This is an astoundingly clean and great sounding and growly Princeton Reverb; a lovely example of our single most in-demand amplifier. Excellent + Condition.
