wow - this is a great comparison. My taste is with the '65....sounds like the classic 'fender reverb' vibe that I love. The '68 is nice, but sounds muddier, and like there's a blanket in the cab. Both are nice, but my preference is the '65. Excellent comparison, thanks.

Why volume at 3? The Princeton sweet spot is at around 4.5 - 5 when the amp starts breaking out with beautiful tones. That's the reason why this amp has been used on many recordings, you can get a natural distortion without having massive volume. This review is comparable to test drive a Ferrari keeping it below 45 mph.

Got a 65, put a Celestion greenback in it. Huge difference. Tighter low end, punchier, and no rattling.

Fender so smart. Make models, many models. You squabble with yourself, but finally decide on one of these. You bought a Fender, not some other amp brand. LOL. Nice.

I wouldn't go by this review. The Blackface has a Jensen speaker, which is pretty stiff new, so it will get warmer with age. In my experience the volume of the two is pretty similar. The Silver definitely breaks up earlier, the Blackface has more headroom (greater wattage), but when you can crank it, it gets that SRV type piercing glassy overdrive. Also, big difference, the 65s are made in California, the 68s in Mexico,so perhaps quality difference.

I have a 1970 non reverb Princeton that sounds very nice.   These new ones sound great as well.

Thanks for the effort! However it was pretty hard to judge. To much playing with different tones, before switching amps. So much easier would be: Clean sound neck pickup 65 - quick switch to 68 same neck position and same riff, same setting ect... :)

thanks for demoing with the tube screamer! The 65 was very SRV while the 68 felt more like Chess Records blues. Really cool to hear the difference

Kids! Save your money and buy an original Blackface or Silverface Princeton Reverb. Take it to a competent tech and get the filter caps changed and put in new, but OLD STOCK VINTAGE TUBES. The reissues use cheap printed circuit boards; the vintage ones were HAND-WIRED.

Is the '68 a limited edition? I fancy trying both versions out, but its likely to be a while before I can buy either.

65 has more sparkle. I have the 65 along w a Super Champ Xd and Champion 600 w an 8 inch speaker installed.

He had a reason for not turning the amp up; the microphone placement had been set but I suspect any thorough review should state that it gets distorted above '3' in the '68 and at about '5' on the '65.At such low wattage, it can really reduce the appeal of such an amp.
