The reverb is virtually useless- it is crashy and too dry- even on 1 it swamps the amp.
The amp produces too much bass.
I'm not massively into the stock speaker in either the 65 or the 68.
There are a few other things that bugged me as well- I will try to remember what.
I've ended up with a Princeton style amp from another maker- which is a Louis Electric Road Runner.
It is an astonishingly good take on the Princeton thing, but they are a lot more expensive- about double the cost of a Fender reissue.

Boutique would be a Carr Sportsman (which I have) or the Louis Columbia Reverb, although ive not tried one they seem to get a lot of praise.
Clone maybe @RiftAmps ?

Can't afford to buy it new so I'll keep an eye for one in the classifieds and other usual places.
I just got a Morgan PR12. It's based on the Princeton but has a fixed baffle cabinet, Celestion G12M Greenback speaker and meatier transformer so has more grunt and headroom. The reverb has a dwell control to tame the splash as well. No trem though.
It sounds very nice and is plenty loud enough before it starts to break up but when it does it can sound very nice, not farty like the Fenders. Expensive though in comparison:
I have just spent a little while with one and it's seriously brilliant! Unless there is something else considerably better out there for the same sort of cash, I think I know what to do next.
