Seller's description

The Vintage Sound Vintage 5 is a new design we've really been looking forward to. It essentially starts out as an all hand-wired, all USA made, super-modified Fender Princeton Reverb. It's based on the "blackface" Fender Princeton Reverb (AA1164) used from 1964-1967, but with several major and significant upgrades (read more below). BUT, the output transformer has been modified to reduce the output wattage down to 5 watts.  As well, the preamp has been voiced a bit differently to react with the lower wattage in a more desirable way. So other than the output wattage, how does this amp differ from a vintage mid sixties Princeton Reverb? 1)  The most obvious difference is the 12" speaker instead of the stock 10" speaker. 2)  The reverb circuit is vastly upgraded from the stock 9" pan spring reverb to a large 17" spring reverb pan that's the same size as the one used in the Twin Reverb!  The reverb circuit also includes a reverb dwell control on the rear of the chassis for varying the decay time. 3)  A "MIDDLE" tone control has been added. This addition does absolutely nothing to hurt the integrity of the circuit or tone. The original Fender circuit had a fixed mid tone was set permanently at 6.8k. We removed this resistor replacing it with a much more versatile 10k pot. You now have the ability to adjust this frequency range without compromising the original tone. 4)  The original Princeton Reverb didn't have a Standby Switch. This one does. 5)  External Bias Points have been added so as to more easily bias the amp when you swap out tubes.   So, as you can see, the Vintage 5 has lots of upgrades to the original Princeton Reverb circuit. As well, all Vintage Sound amps are point-to-point hand-wired using top quality filter caps and electrolytics, carbon comp resistors, Orange Drop tone caps, solid core push back wire, and custom transformers that are hand wound in the USA. Vintage 5 Specs: Wattage: 5 watts Preamp Tubes: 3 x 12AX7, 1 X 12AT7 Power Tubes: 2 x 6V6
