For a long time, if you wanted to record your guitar silently, you pretty much had to choose between digital modeling devices and solid-state practice amps with a line out. Getting real tube amp sound directly to tape just hasn't been much of an option. Until now. Fender has finally come up with a real-live, honest-to-goodness, all-tube amplifier for silent recording: the Princeton Recording Amp.
The key to this coolness lies in the Princeton's built-in trans-impedance power attenuator, which lets you push the amplifier as hard as you want while keeping the speaker volume low or at zero. The amp also features onboard stompbox-style compression and overdrive circuitry, tube-driven spring reverb, headphone out, speaker-emulated line out, speaker out, and a four-button footswitch. The Princeton runs at 20 watts and features a 10" Jensen C-10R speaker.
Brilliant !
