Sorry, David, but I have to call you on this... Fender (CBS) was WAY TOO CHEAP to do anything with that amp except put reverb on it... old Princeton amps sound just like Princeton Reverbs without reverb....
I'm not an EE, but I'd bet a lot of money that the amps are virtually identical, save for what was need to add the reverb circuitry and tank...
But it's my personal "sonic" experience that tells me what I'm saying here... Princeton's are terrific little amps, with or without reverb. And, like I mentioned, the Fender reverb sound is ICONIC, and if that sound is needed, then you're looking for the PR...
