haha brilliant
Man, awesome game. We actually do that before every episode!!!!! Couple of things, Crocs, probably won't see this on this show, broken bones how ever, that will 100% happen again. Oh and we will be playing other open chords in the next up coming episodes, you can drink to that ;). Have a good weekend. Best. P
Perceptive genius. :0)
+Mick Taylor I concur. ;)
I really miss Mick and all the knowledge he brought to the paradiso series
What happened to Mick???
@@jdmoney1000 not sure why he left andertons, but you can find him on "that pedal show" nowadays, great content
I’ve always loved the Cap and Rob’s videos and their playing. Still do, but guys I’ve grown to love what you two do also. Both of your playing is amazing. Keep up the great work, and thanks for the awesome demos.
TGIF!!! I love this show! Thank you Mick and Pete for another fantastic, educational, and entertaining show! Kudos!
Fantastic comparison video (and playing!) - these amps really are amazing. The Princetons really are amazing amps.
You guys do a great job. These videos are amazing.
Love me a good Princeton. That special edition sounds amazing. A 1x12 is just what the amp needed.
Always a pleasure watching these boys. Thank!
I've got a Princeton reverb limited edition with a Jensen C12n speaker. My favorite speaker of all time. I love it.
great playing as always guys!
Man your music is so funky I can smell it way over here in NYC, 4 years after you’ve recorded the video. :-)
This is becoming my new dream amp, Princeton Reverb with a 12" Celestion AlNiCo Blue. I have never been one much for Fender amps past the tweed era, but seeing a local band where one of the guitarists was playing a 65 PRRI made me reconsider the blackface era. I'm currently playing a Rickenbacker 330 into a Mesa F-50 with 12AU7s, KT66HPs, and a Vintage 30.
Got a Princeton Chorus. It has 2 -12' Jensens. It's something else. Bought it used and it's still crankin' and has a host of built-in effect possibilities. Luv my Princeton Chorus.
This series is great, no bs about time!
Great video, thanks guys!
Both of them together is just absolutely fantastic 0.o
I love Princeton Reverbs :)
The Celestion makes the Jensen sound like a blanket. I'd love to see a Greenback vs Gold vs Blue comparison now. Either way, it seems like British speakers in Princeton Reverbs might be the best thing ever.
I have saved this video so i can steal some of those beautiful licks from that intro jam.Nice
20:25 with the Tele sounded really great Mick! I was hoping Pete would throw some lead over that.
The Alnico Blue is one of the all time best, and having a 12” over a 10” speaker is a no brainer for me.
I just purchased a limited edition Princeton this one has an alnico jensen though, and it sound great. I got a great blues lead type of sound with a Hudson Electronics "Gospel Bomb" germanium treble boost. I really am pleased with this amp, I wanted an amp with that classic fender clean sound in my arsenal and I did not want a ridiculously heavy twin reverb.
I love it would like to here more modern licks and music to see what it can do for current music.
Played one of these in store last week... Fell absolutely in love with it!!! If only I had a grand to throw at an amp! Well I'm only 15 so one day maybe...! :-)
lmagine Now you’re 18, do you own a Princeton?
Are you even playing guitar anymore these days?
It's worth that grand. You'll have it for the rest of your life.
good job boys! Helped me chose the 68 over the 65 for my choice in amp, to plat a Suhr 60's Tele Classic Pro sunburst thru - rw fretboard, w hummer. Either amp is a winner - 1/2 dozen of 1; 6 of the other!
I could listen to that intro jam all day long
You guys are great fun!
Limited all the way! Killer playing, both of you!!
Yayy my two fav presenters! I also love that pedal show.
Mick has a vast knowledge about gear which I really appreciate. Du spiller fanme godt Peter :)
This was such a valuable review. Thanks. I wish I could learn the chords at 19:21. I've figured out most of it from the video... Really melodic. You need a channel for riff lessons. I am really into the Larry Carlton-esque vibe you both demo in your video. Thanks!
Jerry Sebastian I
The blue one is much more defined 15 watts of beautiful sound and the 12 inch blue celestian I love ❤️ it
These both are faaantastic!!!
My two favorite numptys - these guys are even MORE entertaining than The Captain and Chumpers! Only thing they are missing is a couple of pints - good review overall. Thanks!!
You guys should do a princeton review where you include the 1x12 princeton tweed that has the cannabis rex
Its only offered through Sweetwater, doubt they'd promote a main competitor. The Rex version is nice though.
@@JInfinity7 Actually, Long and McQuade in Canada also offers it. I picked one up, and it is just a beaut.
I put a 10" Cannabis Rex in my 65PRRI. Made a HUGE difference. Takes ALL the watts without farting! Couldn't be happier, what more do you need?
Cannabis Rex is a great mod for a Princeton. Not expensive and no modification required.
I pulled out the cannabis rex out and put a Jensen c12n in there. Big improvement to me.
I have a limited edition surf green Princeton that name with a greenback. It is a fantastic amplifier
Great video boys
I love Jensen speakers, but I've got the tweed with the 12 cannabis rex speaker that I like really well.
I've been listening to that one myself and it's in my top 3 choices for my next upgrade.
I don't think one speaker sounds "better" than the other. They sound a bit different but both sound great. These guys are damn good by the way.
Haha, I forgot it was Pete and Mick in this video. I want that AlNiCo Blue PRRI LE.
Late to the party here. One thing to know about the Princeton & its Reverb sibling is that they were voiced with a hefty bass output to overcome the feeble-sounding speakers they originally came with. With the original Oxford in my Princeton, a '68 with the blackface circuit, I used to set the bass to 5 or 6 to get some decent low end. Since replacing that speaker with a Weber version of the old Jensen C10Q, I get the same bass response with the knob set just above 3. This has the added plus of increasing headroom since the amp isn't working so hard to deliver low end. Both Fenders in this video should sound better with the bass backed off a bit, like down to 3.5 or even lower.
Dat Hawaiian Flower Shirt !
The Nobels Overdrive only sounds good on the AlNiCo Blue but wasn't it obvious that the Blue would work better ? Just for 2 more pounds, it's a Deal !
Jensen speaker FTW IMHO The beauty of these small amps is they're quiet and you can get a bit of edge without being too loud. Ok I have to edit this a bit what Fender really needs to do is make a 2x12/2x10 version of this amp with mixed speakers because both of them together is bliss. :)
100% agree, the flutter of the 10 inch is lovely
^ this guy gets it. ✌️
The blue is best! The 10 has the same nasally sound that I've gotten from the deluxe reverb reissue...until I switched out the tubes.
Hi Pete,
Any chance you'd draw the looping scheme? I see two loopers, two ABY-like boxes, and an overdrive.
Thx.
Is it possible for you to make comparison of Vox AC30 , AC15 and AC10 :) ?
By the way - great video!
You Guys are best Iam calling my next Son Paradiso
My amp has the Jenson Alnico 10"...sounds great!
I happen to own two Princetons. One is a 65 edition with a 12“ celestion and a blue light. One is a 67 limited edition with a 10“ Jensen and red light. They are quite distinct. The 65 (blue light) has a more direct punchy feel and a thicker meatier tone with a sweet bottom end. It is an overall darker amp. I would not recommended it though if you are after chime and sparkle. The edition with the red light is airier as if you have lifted a veil from the blue one. But it is more neutral in feel, not as punchy and direct as the blue one.
I also tested the blue one against the Deluxe re-edition. The Deluxe has a different tone stack on each channel one more baseman and one more original Deluxe.
i stayed with the Princeton because how big and punchy it feels and because of the full bottom end. I might not be your typical Fender guy though. I use the amp also for a sweet Jazz tone with an ES330. I think you need to play them to really grasp the difference. Hope that helps.
Dat Telecaster! Wow! I love all Teles by the way. ;-)
I’ll pass since I have a 1975 PR that I rehoused in a cherry wood cab. It is glorious sounding and looking!
I'm going to have too listen to this one a, couple off times! I just happen to be trying to decide about these two amps. At one point i think it was Mick who said the standard was sweeter at low volumes, but you say the blue is more efficient? I mostly play in the mornings before work and before the neighbors get up and prefer that clean sound Gregor Hilden has on his UA-cam videos( a 1963 or 64 Vibroverb). Now will come the most difficult part, finding a store that has both to listen to! Thanks for the Very timely video.
Which one do you think would be better for semi-hollows and hollow bodies?
Pete's description of black at 3:48. Brilliant
i have the standard, but, put an alnico gold in it... oh my!
I really like the blue one.
I like the blue one
You two are brilliant! I just bought a 65 reissue Princeton in tweed with a 10" Jenson speaker and cant stop watching this video> 10 or 12" speaker? I cant choose!!
Go for a 10" Cannabis Rex. You won't regret it!
I liked the 10” Jensen better! I liked the earlier natural break up with the Jensen. And I thought I’d like the 12” celestion blue?
Please do a Guitar Paradiso on Milkman Amplification! A Fender head-to-head or just straight-up Milkman video would be great!!!
If you want a great sounding 10" speaker, which is louder and has more bass than the Jensen C10R, try a Weber 10F150, which is similar in power and voice coil size to the famous old C10N speakers. I switched from a vintage USA Jensen P10R, which came with my 1959 Gibson GA-18, to the 10F150, and it made a HUGE difference in volume and bass. They take awhile to break-in,. but so worth it...!
Alnico blue has always been in a different league :D
The 12" Speaker Sounds so much Better. More Bottom, More Volume, More Clean Headroom
Anyone tried or have the tweed 1x13 cannabis rex? How does it compare?
@@dscoughy A good bit louder (it's a much, much more efficient speaker), cleaner, smoother top end that's not as harsh. Sounds great, but if you're a home player the volume difference is substantial.
The Blue is has more volume and a rounder tone.......makes me choose a 12" over a 10" any day of the week......good A/B......thanks Andertons.
I wonder what it would sound like on a Jensen P12Q or P12N. There is a big difference between a 12" and a 10" and a ceramics vs alnico speaker. As for the difference between Celestion and Jensen, that is a matter of personal preference in the end, the Celestion always reminds me of an amp with a British voicing, thus I tend to prefer the Jensen/Weber/Eminence (Patriot series) in a Fender. Another nice alternative for this amp might be an Eminence Legend 1028K, which is a really nice sounding 10" speaker.
Where do I Buy the Blue One ? Please Mick. I will order one today.
hi guys it would have been great if you also had the newer silver face [ i think it's a 68] reissue to compare as well.
....Celestion blue,...is just magic,.....both are an Album tone,....whew good
Any chance of a comparison between a standard '65 & the '68 Custom?
Which amp is Pete playing thru at 1.28??? Someone PLEASE TELL ME!!!! Is it the 10" Princeton or 12"
Torn between this and the Deluxe Reverb. I used to gig with Twins, Super Reverb, Marshal combo through a cab, etc. Too big for my current purposes. The only one I've held onto is the Marshal bc I love the option of that heft. But I don't gig anymore and want something warm but bassy and resonant to play at home. The Princeton is intriguing me.
And small.
Man Pete is a god and i cant believe hes selling that strat... wonder what he will buy
The limited edition is a 68 Black and Blue and the other one is a 65. It would be good to see a silverface 68 vs the 68 Black and Blue.
That first jam was sick, what key was it in?
my 1970 princeton has a blue light jewel. i wasnt sure if it was original or not.
For me, there's no comparison, the 12 inch is much better. That Tele, btw, sounds incredible. Is it a Custom Shop?
I use two Princeton black face one whiet reverb sometime the second amp and the second whet tremolo
Am I the only one who kinda likes that farting, 'amp about to explode' type of sound?
Alex Evander yes
No
No.
Neil Young built an empire on that sound.
I like it too, but not all the time.
It's one of "the best" sounds ever! Easy on the ears too.
A 1m grid resistor on the phase inverter smooths these amps out. Takes away the ragged and flabby edge to the overdrive.
Again, Andertons is off by a decade: the 1950's are when amp power climbed whilst getting progressively cleaner, culminating in the 50W Fender Bassman. It was the 1960's when things cleaned up substantially and amp power REALLY climbed, culminating in the Marshall Major (and, later, the HiWatt DR201).
The jenson is brighter that's fir sure, and on a fender amp especially blackface era your far better with an alnico magnet speaker in imo, so the Celestion blue would be my choice
If they sold this LE in blue tolex here in the US, I'd get it tomorrow.
Blue is Cool
So what you're saying is, they need to make a head of this amp with a cab that uses both speakers.
holy fret buzz
Isn't it glorious? Love a bit of fret buzz.
Great review. Preferred the Jensen. It has "that" sound off the records. Blue is great though but different. Its a good colour association for the sound. Not worried about the "farting" so its called. Just turn down the bass. Its a 10" speaker so cut your cloth accordingly and don't expect it to compete with a 12".
The 12 sounds a like a deluxe
10" speaker is being overdriven at higher volumes and it starts to break up but not in a good way, it's also thin sounding. I would go with the 12" edition. I have a Princeton Ltd tweed with an Eminence 12" Cannabis-Rex it's an amazing sounding amp, easily blows away the Jensen 10".
10 inch standard sounds better to me. In a band setting at higher volumes the 12 might be better, though you can't tell from this video.
I love these guys
Standard sounds really bright.
Mick with a Tele? MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I think I'm more interested in Mick's tele
BOTH
Is the speaker the only difference between the two amps? or do they also differ in circuitry...?
Limited edition is hand-wired I think
I own a Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue with the 10” Jensen and it chimes wonderful at low volumes but as soon as you turn it up it falls apart farting
I now have an older Eminence Alnico Red Fang 10” and it is 102.3 sensitivity and it chimes like a bell at all volumes and the headroom is huge
I have the 12" Jensen and it sounds like butter, much better than 10
Genuinely appreciate all of Anderton's TV, but this vid DID NOT show off one of THE all time classic amps to anywhere near its capabilities. Sigh.
I was thinking the same.
2 inches definitely makes a difference
One on the left hands down. The 10” ceramic is no match for alnico 12”. 12” has better bottom end, more sweet compression, and the mods are more clear. The other is flubby
Does anyone know what strat that is?
I know this video is old, but can anyone help me out please? So I bought a 12-in limited edition Princeton Bordeaux and it doesn't have any break up from 1 to 10. I checked the tubes and they're all stock. I've taken it to guitar center to let them know but they all think it's fine. Do I have a dud?
I don't know mate but if you post this question on 'The Gear Page.net' they will help you out for sure 👍
I would buy a deluxe reverb. In the US it's only $100 more.
1st! Killer sounds, great video, guys!
