FS: MPC Princeton Reverb '65
I've had this a month or so, got it in a trade for my Katana combo. Finally managed to track down some more 'period-correct' black knobs as the beige chicken knobs it came with were messing with my OCD
Swapped out the Chinese 12AX7's for a Soldano one and a couple of Mullard's, stuck a nice old 12AT7 in V1. Also replaced the Chinese 5AR4 GZ34 rectifier tube with a Tung-Sol, straight away I noticed a bit more volume and also more bottom end.
She's a keeper!

Re: NAD (kinda): MPC Princeton Reverb '65
Obviously it's not a strict 65 Princeton clone, with a mids control and no tremolo.
Re: NAD (kinda): MPC Princeton Reverb '65
It was built for hjelmsk, one of the forumites on here. I believe he requested the mids control in place of the tremolo. It's pretty useful actually, once it's past midway it also starts to dial in some gain.Conway wrote:Obviously it's not a strict 65 Princeton clone, with a mids control and no tremolo.

Would have to be one day when the whole Street is not at home. I get the feeling his amp really comes to life with a bit of volume to it - which probably means it's also going to be problematic to record.Molly wrote:Demo.
Give me a yell next time you are passing by and have some time on your hands

Just did a run to the tip and diverted into a cafe on the way back. Got a Chris Robinson album on the go.
I need to book some space to crank the amps for the day. Strictly no kids.

I have swapped out the mostly Chinese valves for quality ones, replaced the original Chinese 5AR4 GZ34 rectifier valve with a Tung Sol ordered in from the States. I kept the Chinese one as a spare so will include this with the amp.
Bought a new brown leather handle for it that matched the colour of the grille, will include the original handle.
Have also swapped the control knobs for the period correct Fender ones - again I will include the beige chicken knobs that it came with.
* 12" Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker
* NOS Russian 6V6's
* Valve-driven spring reverb
* Tremolo swapped out for a 'Middle' control, very useful. Acts almost as a gain control would
* Unlacquered tweed
$850 for anyone on here and I'll deliver it anywhere in Christchurch, West Coast or anywhere en route between Chch-Timaru for free
