My first Fender Princeton clone

Post by alextsayun »

I've been waiting more than a year to have a chance to make this clone and finally it's done :)

If anyone is interested I've used this schematics and other documents for this build — http://www.brieskorn.de/Guitar___Amps/V ... a1164.html

Let get started :)

The first and important part for me is to make it clear how this amp works. I've spent a lot of time to listen and watching useful videos.

Image

Next step to combine all parts to one document for ordering.

I ordered custom cab from my friend for this project, wood, black tweed, 12inch speaker for Cannabis Rex.

I've decided to make turret boards, not so fenderish but I like how it looks
