The '65 Princeton Reverb reissue (2008) recreates the small blackface Princeton Reverb: one channel with two inputs, volume, treble and bass, plus spring reverb and bias-vary tremolo with speed and intensity, both footswitchable. A 12AT7 drives the reverb and 12AX7s handle the gain stages, tremolo and phase inverter, feeding a fixed-bias pair of 6V6GTs from a 5AR4 rectifier, rated 15 W into 8 ohms. Its sweet clean tone, early breakup and lush reverb at low volume suit recording and small rooms.
