[Harp-L] '65 Princeton Reverb Re-issue

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Joe,
	Thanks. I stand corrected.  What I meant by my inaccurate reference  
to a "pre-amp stage" is that the PR has Volume and Master Volume  
controls and the BJ has just a Volume control.  The  tone of the PR  
is darker and deeper than the BJ, even after a tube swap on the BJ.  
The BJ has a Midrange control. The PR does not.  Never have swapped  
tubes on a PR.  PR has 2 input jacks (one higher gain and one lower  
gain).  BJ has one.

John, The Princeton has a preamp section as do all tube amps.  It just
has less gain than the BJ preamp stage.   Also, the Princeton has a
fixed bias class AB push pull output stage just like the BJ.    The BJ
can make a pretty good harp amp if the preamp gain is lowered with a
tube swap.  I would suspect that you would not have to worry about a
tube swap in the Princeton due to its lower gain structure.  Looks
like a real nice amp !  Enjoy.  --Joe
