1973 - NZ tranny, and has a Weber speaker which transformed this amp. I also use a Nightlight Jnr to keep volume at lower levels...Princetons have a fair bit of push for little-ish things.

Origin 20 was sorely disappointing to my ears. Love an SV20 though!rickenbackerkid wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:08 pmfuck that. or at least the origin cabs which are pretty cheaply made. this is the amp : https://marshall.com/marshall-amps/prod ... udio/sv20c

Re: Second amp for stereo?
Thanks for the feedback lads, I’ve always wanted to build my own amp so I think a Princeton build will be on the cards!

Re: Second amp for stereo?
I would have thought a stereo rig would work best from two identical amps? Otherwise you don’t have a true left and right…different amps would make a good wet/dry rig, but I’m sure there’s lots of reasons to do the same in a stereo setup…

Re: Second amp for stereo?
Its mainly to get some different colours going on, stereo just for ease of use, the amps will probably live on top of each other

I guess saying "Katana" has lost it zing these days

Re: Second amp for stereo?
You still have true left and right even with two different amps. They just sound different. It makes it a whole lot more interesting to listen to. Probably harder to mix in a live situation, but in my lounge they're set up just perfect.

Sing out if you want any advice or help building that Princeton Reverb-Amp. I've built quite a few!

Re: Second amp for stereo?
Hey Mike - I've built pedals before, how much of a jump is building an amp in terms of required skills/knowledge?
Nothing to see here.

Re: Second amp for stereo?
For simplicities sake I was thinking along the lines of this: https://robrobinette.com/AA1164_Princet ... eleted.htm
Given I only use pedal reverb and trem and the build would be far simpler, thoughts?
