1952 Fender Princeton "TV Tweed" Amp Demo

Listen for the symphonic harmonics at the end. General opinion is that Jazz and the Blues/Early Rock and Roll sound great on tweeds, but since I can't play any of the above, here's a silly stab at it. The amp deserves better. It makes my 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom sound like a totally different animal.

how much do these go for? a 1954 one to be exact?

[Jahnli]

@Pestilentich you can find them for under a thousand if you look around a bit.

What kind of guitar/pickups are you using here? I like the tone. I've got a '51 tv-front Pro that I love. People are just now coming around to these early tweeds. The one you've got here looks and sounds really nice. Great job!

[Jahnli]

@dallasblues74 it's a '76 Les Paul Custom, probably has late T-Tops in it. Pretty clean for a Paul!

[heusker]

sounds really nice-mellow and crisp. how much did you pay for that if i may ask, i have no idea what they're worth but more than blackface fenders i bet

[Jahnli]

Actually less than any blackfaces bigger than a vibro champ, since this is like a tweed champ. Under a thousand bucks - they make for great recording amps too!

[JacareDoQuerosene]

Great. It sounds like Bossa Nova.

[Fatshead]

Thanks for letting the sound come through. Nothin' but the demo! Nice.

[harpastatic]

sounds nice.we get a good idea of what that baby can do!

[lighteningboy]

@Jahnli It is very clean for a Les Paul. I bet my Telecaster would sound like glass through this thing, love it

[MrGodam29]

tasty sound

[dallasblues74]

@Jahnli Wow! That is definitely cleaner than I would've expected from a Les Paul. Great tone!
