This is a 62 Princeton - no reverb.  It has white knobs, black Tolex and 
is the best sounding amp that I own.  I bought an amp stand that leans it 
back on stage and hits me in the side of the head.  I also don't get
grief from the others in the band that I am playing too loud as the amp's 
natural volume is great for a stage monitor level.  I understand that 
the 62 Princeton was one of Big Walter's favorites and he used one for
a long time.  Also, if you're after a small amp, try a Champ.  They sound
really fat if you mic it and run it through the front end too!
