The Fender Princeton Reverb AA1164 is the most beloved small-studio blackface combo, delivering 12W through a single 10" speaker with onboard spring reverb and tremolo. Its single-channel design and touch-sensitive 6V6 power section produce a sweet, compressed breakup at moderate volumes that has made it a recording staple. Countless classic tracks have been cut with a Princeton Reverb close-miked in a control room.
