That's the first one I have ever seen in black tolex
On the off chance if anyone can decode it, the SN is CR-355725.
Mine has the Fender Lightning Bolt Speaker by Eminence and I’m enjoying it. I normally enjoy Celestion V30’s.
I noticed some feedback when the reverb was turned up high that would only stop by turning reverb off.
I looked this up and it was suggested on another forum to do the following:
- Remove the rear lower panel and unscrew the reverb tank out from the bottom of the amp.
- Wrap the cardboard base in foil or copper insulating tape (I used the tape as I had some).
- Insert the tank into a cut-off jumper sleeve (I used a microfibre cloth just along the bottom between the card and the tank).
- Reassemble.
This apparently helps insulate the tank and dampen it from causing feedback, surprisingly it actually worked perfectly for me.
I gigged with one of these for a few years, and was always pleased with mine
I stuck some adhesive foam strips to the reverb tank before putting it back in the bag and that seems to have dampened the tank enough to stop it feeding back.
The Princeton I bought last year has the tank strapped down quite securely in a much sturdier bag and doesn’t feed back at high volumes/reverb levels.
I know many people change out the tanks but I really like the reverb on this amp, it sounds so spacey and large.
