Got me another Princeton II *big smiles*

Post by Seemoore »

But I think this one has been tampered with..there is only a 2 prong poer cord, I know the one I had had 3, and there are new looking Orange Drop caps, by new I mean they don't look as weathered as the rest of the circuit.

No matter, I'm already talking with Ken at turretboards.com about getting a new circuit board made up. I'll install a new circuit and still have the old intact.

I would like to change the big cap cannister also, I believe this is a filter cap, but the layout and schematic are a little vauge on it's specific value or number.

The amp sounds very good right now but I just don't trust the circuit board material, which looks like hard paper ?? and some of the resistors are showing there age.

And finally a bias kit from Torres and some JJ6v6's.

The sound is the sound I remember from playing way back when tube amps were the norm, not a specialty item.
I've been looking for the sound with modelers and none of them deliver, the tone may be a good enough clone but the feel, texture, and remnants of sound are simply not present.

I'm excited about playing again!!
Yes, I'm new here..
