SOUNDS
Yes, the panel is wide from jazz to rock but quality reminiscent of a light grain also
but rather crystalline fat with Gibson
Strato japan and Epiphone Les Pauls
Rather clean but the drive does demerit because it remains in a grain Fender way Stones, kravitz
No sounds that I hate but rather a preference for normal clean
OVERALL OPINION
a little more than one year
I knew what I wanted and I was totally conquered
versatility, quality construction, making it easily transportable size for use at home very controllable and even rehearsal stage.
R / Q / P is very good especially in time, relative to the field Vibrolux Xd and super Xd/X2 field too compressed issue sounds and a mid setting
Yes without hesitationSee less50 - Bikeamtn
Nice Amp & Portable Amp Player
Published on 05/05/13 at 16:051 photoThe transistor Princeton 65 is 65 watts with 2-Clean Inputs; Vol, Treble and Bass the Drive Input (#2 with drive button engaged) makes it dirty with Drive, Vol, Treble, Mid, Bass, REVB and there also are PRE-OUT, PWR-IN and Foot switch for add-on options.
UTILIZATION
This is a guitar amp so it is bright (very forward). The really nice thing is the 12- inch spk (vital to the tone), the bottom end is solid at these settings and the signal to noise was acceptable for the pre-amp circuit. On the amp output side; little line-noise that is typical of this amp but diminishes with volume of course (total pwr is 65 watts)

The 12-inch is a best speaker all around and can really expand its useful range when paired with better cabinet designs.
OVERALL OPINION
Got the Princeton 65 (PR403) as I was put-off by all the hype-crap of over-priced designer boom-boxes (like Beats) and needed a quick amp for my keyboard. Now before you guitarist begin to whine, allow me to validate why you should read the review. As a longtime studio/live, sound engineer, the objective was to test (using Neutrik analyzers) how clean, how loud and how sweet I could get this to be a top-performer in its price class.
Great Music Amplification in any venue rest on thee main points;
- Amp’s ability for clean reproduction (signal must be clean first, in order to accuracy control tone color (clean before adding the dirt).
- Tone processing should be clean, serving its duty without adding junk, give control when you want the dirt and be open to optional outboard gear (EQ, REV, EFX, etc).
- Speaker tone, type and size must meet its intended use and do it accuracy (it is the last link where signal turns into sound for the human ear.
With that - I was surprised how clean it delivered. Sparing all the techie details I’ll simplify it this way: with Clean Input; Vol. 5, Treble 1 (yes one), Bass 2.7 (or 3) is a good start point (varies slightly with each unit). Not really a guitar player so tested by playing of Eric Johnson’s ‘Missing Key’ (Seven Worlds) or Michael Landau, ‘Roodis Tones’ from Tales From the Bulge (to give credit to two lesser known mainstream artists) with iPod connected using lossless HD MP4’s, and your barbeque or house party will rock like the bands playing in the yard. There is a little line-noise that is typical of this amp but diminishes with volume of course (on that mater, I’d go with Hartke but of more cost).
The PR403 also Drive Inputs (making it dirty) with Drive, Vol, Treble, Mid, Bass, REVB and a PRE-OUT, PWR-IN and Foot switch for add-on options. This is a guitar amp so it is bright (very forward) and why only a 1-percent Treble in my case. The really nice thing is the 12 inch spk (vital to the tone), the bottom end is solid at these settings and the signal to noise was acceptable (total pwr is 65 watts)
So hope this is helpful on all counts, whether looking for a reasonable guitar amp or a really rockin’ portable amplified player.See less00 - MGR/Anonymous
Fender Princeton 65
Published on 12/05/03 at 15:00Getting to the point on the 65, for the bonehead whose reverb went out, it's just a quick solder job and it will never happen again. The boys south of the border kinda cut corners in the manufacturing, but then again they all do. The wires inside the reverb assembly aren't soldered at the factory, just spliced in half and touching the contacts. Understandeably by the nature of any reverb assy you get vibration, causing the poor contact.
It sounds better than the peavey 112 I had, those things sound like YAKKKK!!!
Maybe a little more balls and punch but it's pretty decent.
See above
As good as any for the price, real good with a strat or tele.

Fender Princeton 65
Published on 10/06/03 at 15:00I got the amp at Bills Music (who is the greatest and wonderful to work with). It was used but in mint condition. I only paid $250 for it and go the pedal for 10 more.
The Unit is loud. Like crazy loud but that not bad. The clean is the best around and the distortion is pretty good to.
There is no mid control on the clean and there is a lot of static noise but both and be easily adjusted with pedals.
Built like a rock and suprisely not more than 30 pounds. I sure I could drop it out a window and still be able to play it.
Great amp if your looking to upgrade from crap to something half way decent. Cheap, loud, looks and sounds good.

Published on 08/24/01 at 15:00I bought this for 279.99 at Guitar Center.
The amp is realativly light-weight, easy to transport, and seems to be durable as hell. Not only that, but it puts out an awesome sound for its size.
My only problems are with the drive and reverb. Neither one work as well as I'd like, but both are easily solved w/ pedals. This amp holds up really well with the extra effects...I just wish it came with something a little better. Also, the lack of a headphoe jack was a bit of a letdown.

This little guy is packed into solid casing, has the classic Fender silver front screen...seems to be reaslly durable, I've been packing it around for a few months, and have yet to nick it...which works, 'cause I'm pretty damned clumsy. It weighs about 40 pounds, which is good, because it's light enough to carry easily, but heavy enough to remind you that you're carrying around some juice.
Basically it's a great mid-size amp. Like I said, a little extra drive and a headphone jack and I'd have no complaints at all.

$279.99
The volume of this 65 watt amp is great for a gig or band rehersal. It has two channels, one for clean and one for overdrive. Either channel sounds good through the 12" Fender speaker. A multi-effects processor works well when used in the clean channel even if you are using distortion. This amp is a good choice if you need a loud amp at an affordable price.
It would be nice if the amp had a line-out for an external speaker and a CD player input. The reverb isn't the greatest, as it tends to buzz and the more you turn up the reverb the lower the guitar volume becomes. A foot-switch has to be purchased seperately.

The Princeton 65 is built very solid. The construction of this model makes me believe it will last for many years to come.
This amp is good for someone looking for a bigger, louder amp. It's worth looking into when a smaller practice amp doesn't always fit your needs.

Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00$280 US from Guitar Center
I severely needed an upgrade from my Peavey Rage 150 (if you have one you know what I'm talking about).
Kicks ass! For the size this thing is loud as hell. Great overdrive, awesome clean channel, OK reverb, effects loop/ extension speaker jacks are very useful.
It could have used better reverb, a headphone jack, and a mid EQ knob on the clean channel, but the other features, great price, and excellent quality more than make up for this.
Great.
Definitely!
Kick ass amp! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions!

UTILIZATION
Very easy to use.
SOUNDS
I find it very satisfying in its clear, it sounds cristallin.En popping sound can be pretty much everything faire.Du metallica his pass, after all when we started we saw no difference.
This is a good compromise between power and quality.
His forte remains the clear sound and then to the detractors of its saturated:
it is better a fender with a good clear sound plus a good pedal for that saturated
marshall distortion in a good but with bad sound clear.
OVERALL OPINION
