Silver Face Princeton vs. Princeton Reverb

["James D Rossen and Dina Janzen" <dlj@xxxxxx>]

There are significant differences in circuit design and sound between the 
Princeton and PR.  More compression, bite and volume from the PR even with the
reverb off.

There is minimal difference between the circuit design of the black face vs
silver face Princetons  or BF vx SF PRs, until the  later pull boost SF PR
model.  Some silver face fenders use dull brown color signal caps that are
considered by some to sound bad. These are easily changed out if one knows how
to solder.  Lead dress of the BF is often better than the SF amps.   Later SF
PR's had cabs with the speaker baffle dadoed (sp) into the cab carcass rather
then attached to the cab using cleats and screws.  The former baffles are
impossible to change without rebuilding the cab.
