Sounds incredible! My nephew managed a trash company a few years back. Someone had thrown a ‘64 Princeton Reverb in the garbage. When the truck came in my nephew snagged it and brought it home. He put a 3 prong cord on it and I bought a Jensen speaker for it. Plugged it in and sounded awesome. He gave it to me as a gift. How cool is that?

Man that les paul through the princeton sounds incredible

That 64 Fender Princeton Reverb sounds incredible. The tone that you get from your guitars and amps is amazing!!!

[robappleby]

That reverb creates a wonderful nostalgic, melancholy sound, like remembering a favourite place from your childhood you haven’t seen for years.

You've got the best strat sound on the whole internet, of course, in my opinion. Cheers

I'm an old blues harp player who played out of a 64 Princeton Reverb. With a little tube tweaking it's one of the best harp amps there is. 👍😎👍

I’m lucky enough to have grown up playing my Dads 67 Princeton Reverb. I still have it to this day and the tones in this video are the sounds of my soul. There’s something very deep and emotional about this amp. It’s very humbling and soul stirring. No other amp like it in my opinion.

You are an incredible musician. I can’t overstate how well you bring out the best of your instruments. I enjoy your projects and demo’s. Truly joyful. Thanks man!

Amazing amp. I scored a pre-CBS late 1964 deluxe reverb and I totally love it. I just love the good ol' blackface sound

[guitarandmore]

I can't express how pleasing it is to an old school metal guy to see a young guy playing old school Blues Rock with authority and confidence. Great job!

Love your Priceton Reverb Vintage Amp you restored, sounds better than any Princeton I've ever heard. Am 68, raised in musical family, been addicted & playing since I was 6. I attribute my good health & happiness to my addiction for playing. I'm an introvert and my love for learning & playing truly a passion. I see & hear these symptoms in your videos. I've played in 4 countries in my life, but enjoy playing at home more than anywhere. The learning obsession is under control for best of the best that inspires me. Not into drugs & actually not prescribed any medications. Been personable to let you know your high on my list of the greatest guitarist I've encountered. Much respect& admiration & respect for your distinguishing love for your art. Live long, prosper & hope you continue your postings. Your fan here in southeast Texas. Samuel P. Wedgeworth

Sounds magical with both strat and les paul. Simply stunning sound.

I love your videos. I play everyday and I love looking at all the vintage guitars and amps . I will never be able to afford one of them but I love to watch them. Keep the content coming 🎸 🔥

Neat story. Ozzy said when he was auditioning guitar players in L. A. for his 1st band all these guys were bringing in stack amps. Then Randy Rhodes showed up with this little Princeton amp and they laughed. Until they heard him play.

[BCEpedals]

Just built a Princeton for this tone, prices are outrageous but it’s such an awesome amp!

I collected amplifiers from the 70s up to a few years ago. I had over 100 old Fender and other famous amps. I only held on to 3. The 64 Princeton Reverb, the 58 Tweed Champ and Deluxe Fenders. In my opinion, they are the most beautiful and versatile sounding amps ever made. There use in famous recordings is prolific. This video really accurately reflects the rich tone of the PR. There wasn’t a studio in Nashville or LA they did not have one.Thank you

[tadpoleinnit]

that is remarkable. you'd think old equipment would sound rubbish, but instead it's beautiful - and that from a compressed youtube soundfile. quite remarkable

[srubel]

Hard to beat a pair of 6V6's driven hard. Really enjoy seeing your videos drop on YT, great playing with soul beyond your years!

[williamrobinson]

This '64 Princeton Reverb really does sound the biz! Well worth restoring, evidently in the sounds. Especially cool with the various drop tunings you like to use, Matthew. It really exploits the sonic 'meat' in the timbres of this classic amp. Lovely playing as ever. We still hope for peace.. ✌️🎶🌟👍

Man, tuned down that half step on the Gibson, the tone on The Weight sounded incredible! Great amp, great guitars, even better playing. Nice work, Matthew.
