Great job! The Princeton has to be one of my favorites in the Fender family as well.

Wait a minnit, Carl...you can do Fender amps, too? Crazy!

Its funny, I have worked on more Fender amps than anything, even have certification.... But, somehow everyone pigeonholes me as a "Marshall Guy"... I don't mind though....

Just a Weber multi can cap: 20/20/20/20
Speaker was one discovered by Tyler Amps. It is a Jensen Jet Electric Lightning. It sounds really great with Fender voiced amps...

I love that circuit. (Nice build, too!) And yes, there are some great sounding Italian Jensens. Just not all of them.

Love the circuit. Built one with 6V6s and one with 6L6s. The one I use a lot has the 6L6 conversion. Allen iron.

Hope some of you might give me some feedback. I really am willing to learn if this amp didn't make the grade...

A cathodyne PI is far from being the cleanest you could use!
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!
Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Sounds good, and the build is very tidy inside and out. PR is a little less famous than some others, but an iconic Fender sound for sure.
