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.

I’ve this amp since 1985. It is a good amp. Unlike the original Princeton, the 2 is a 25 watt amp, and it is pretty loud for its size. Could be used on small gigs and not too heavy or bulky. The Princeton two is a very different amp than its ancestor, designed more as a studio amp, too compete with the Mesa Boogie. It’s not a normal Fender sound, but when the Mid-boost and overdrive are not used, it is also not extremely different than say a Deluxe – tonally speaking. This amp is part of the very last generation of production point-to-point wiring. I have found this to be a reliable amp up until recently – but I’m way late on upkeep, so my bad. Overall a good amp but not an exact norm for the fender line. But the poin-to-point alone makes it valuable for enthusiasts. I have enjoyed this amp more than not.

I have one of these with the original spkr never use the channel switching feature mainly because I do not have the pedal to do so. Its still a great amp designed by the late Ed Jahns Perfect for small to gigs sure beats lugging around 80 pounds of twin

I have one of these… It IS veri Michelin amp when originally speaker repalced !!!

This is 1980’s blackface.
