I just found one of these gems ! Great little amp all original and the tone is just fantastic. I also have a Champ II and a Concert all Paul Rivera era amps and they all sound great.
You have either a bad 12ax7 or the 12ax7s have been mixed in the wrong sockets. I don’t have the schematic in front of me but I have seen this problem before. The problem was introduced during maintenance.
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I have a Princeton Reverb II on loan to try out — great tone on the lead channel, and the volume is perfect for my gig. However, the clean channel has very little volume and isn’t usable for live playing. I’ve tried every possible combination of the Volume and Master Volume controls with no luck. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is this normal? I really hope not, since it basically makes the use of the “Lead” switch unnecessary. Could it be the tubes, caps, or switch? Thanks.
