’62 Princeton Chris Stapleton Edition Amp Demo | Artist Signature Series | Fender

collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender “Brownface” ’62 Princeton amp’s sensitivity and smooth organic tremolo made it a longtime studio favorite and the ideal partner for Grammy-winning country artist, Chris Stapleton. The handwired ’62 Princeton Chris Stapleton Edition combines the classic 6G2 circuit with Stapleton’s favorite features and personally chosen aesthetic touches.

This 12W combo features Fender Vintage “Blue” tone caps, Schumacher transformers, an upgraded Eminence 12” Special Design “CS” speaker, and an output tube-biased tremolo circuit. The acoustically resonant solid pine cabinet wears rough brown textured-vinyl covering, wheat grille cloth and thick dark brown leather handle, while the dark brown control panel sports dark brown “radio” knobs, and the rear panel features an engraved brass plate with Chris Stapleton artwork. This Chris Stapleton model Brownface includes a one-button switch for tremolo and retro-styled Filson heavy fabric cover.

    In the late 60"s my dad bought one of these along with a practice guitar for 35 bucks! I know.Never again. It would be the last item I would part with. Every guitarist I ever had used it at least once. No reverb on mine. Buddy Holly used an eariler model.

    This is a great amp and I would highly recommend checking it out. I've always played the fender black panel amps. In fact, before I came across the Stapleton Princeton, I was not familiar with this era of fender amps. It's got a unique vibe to it and a lot of versatility. Great collaboration here between Fender and Stapleton. If you like vintage fender amp tones, it's hard to go wrong here.

    Had it for about 3 months and It took that long to get the speaker broke in. Still gets sweeter sounding the more I play it. 3 club gigs done to date and I can't wait for more. Lots of punch for a 12 watt amp, keeps up well in a 4 pc country band. A keeper for sure!

    This simple little amp is expensive, but the tone that it exudes is stunning. Just a whole lot of punchy and crispy cleans, and a sag-fest when you put some fuzz or bender like distortion. Has the 60's sound, and the tremolo is one of the warmest and fun to play. Little piece of history.

    This amp sounds amazing. Big, fat tone. Amazing tremolo. If you're thinking about buying one, just do it. Don't think. Just buy.

    is there a way I could get this discounted a bit? I have about 2000 to spend on one of these. Are there any open box or demo units around?
