Classic Princeton Reverb tones in a 5-watt configuration with boutique build quality.

What To Know

The Vintage 5 combo is based on the "blackface" Fender Princeton Reverb (AA1164) used from 1964-1967, but with several major and significant upgrades. The output transformer has been modified to reduce the output wattage down to 5 watts. The preamp has been voiced a bit differently to react with the lower wattage in a more desirable way.

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. A 'Middle' tone control has also been added to add greater EQ flexibility.
