My Princeton Reverb build

[DummyLoad]

I definitely like the way the corners & folds are executed on that chassis versus the mojo chassis---not saying it makes any difference at all and it's probably invisible, I just prefer the more "Fendery"style or what you have pictured.

I have seen this happen to fender chassis way more than one time
Mostly on the longer chassis

richard and i have had two super reverb amps come through my shop with similar dents. one them was dented front and back. i hammered on a 2x4 on wood bench for backing to beat out the dents.

That'll work.

You can also use a 2"x4" in front and another in the back/inside of the chassis a use a strong clamp to straighten it out too.

Might have to add a few shims on the ends of the outside wood block to be able to 'over bend' the chassis just a little for spring back?

What are we comparing here? A 40-year old real Fender built up into an amp with the weight of the trannys and speakers in one cabinet that fell over and hit the knobs on something and thus dished in the front panel, with a brand new chassis? A Mojo chassis subject to the same impact on the knobs would suffer the same kind of dentage.

Not saying the Mojo chassis will not bend


Was just saying that I have seen plenty of the fender chassis that were bent

Oh Man, Doug that sounds fantastic. You nailed that sound, verb and tone. I know what my next build is

[EL34]

yeah, It's a great amp


I should have the chassis and faceplates in stock by next week
I sell them cheaper than the supplier does

[lego4040]

That's great, what's next on the project list? How about a Tremulox build?

Na,
It would be one of the Hoffman Boards I already make

I am thinking Stout as soon as I get my hands on the custom chassis I designed

It will look about like the Amp chassis I used here
12 inches x 6.5 inches x 2.5 inches

Mojo and I am working together on the chassis
They already make a Marshall 20 watt head cabinet that this chassis can go into
Although the stock Mojo 20 watt head cab is kinda long for a small chassis like this

[lego4040]

That's your Marshall version amp, I remember that. Too many amps to build, I started putting some jigs together so I can dust off my wood working skills and make two heads for my last to builds

[EL34]

18 watt Marshall circuit with extra gain stage


It's one of my favorite amps

[lego4040]

Is it BluesBreakerish? Ala Clapton? I'd probably be able to convert my other amp into one

[EL34]

Here's a couple Stout clips
Tone totally depends on the pickups and volume settings on the amp and the guitar
single coils will be completely different from Humbuckers

That's hot

[TIMBO]

I'll second "that's hot"

[EL34]

That second ZZ clip rocks pretty good

[lego4040]

Sometimes you need a certain amp and guitar to get a certain sound. Since I was twelve all I wanted to be was Angus Young, that was 30+ years ago when my Uncle introduced me to Let there be Rock and showed me photos  of their concert in California where he Bon Scott. That's a sound only Marshall can get

[tubeswell]

Nice clips of the PR there Doug

[EL34]

Thanks

  Lucky SOB, did you get Doug to Sign Chassis? To me I see his work in par with all the big amp names

I can't believe nobody called dibs before I did! It was a perfect storm, as I was about to spend money to build (or rebuild) a Princeton, I saw this one was available and Doug wasn't charging labor so I thought I'd go for it.


Love these small combos!

Just unpacked!

That was Fast!

[EL34]

Glad to see it arrived in one piece


Definately get some clips for us

Great work, Doug and an outstanding amp.

Many people feel that the Super Reverb is the high water mark of the Fender line. I do not share that opinion. I have always loved the Princeton Reverb and I think it's the finest amp that Leo ever conceived.

[EL34]

yeah, it's a great circuit for sure

[Willabe]

Apples to oranges, their stage output volume is way different.

Different amps for different jobs/gigs.

Paired up with my Marshall 4 x 12, that Princeton reverb could handle just about any gig

Of course you would have to haul a 4 x 12 Marshall cabinet to the gig
