Maybe in band setting is good for those. Let’s just say you won’t be wondering “what if” if you get the real deal Princeton Reverb. Do it right the first time. Last edited: Apr 11, 2024 21:03:43 Top

Years ago I had 1962 non-reverb Princeton that was identical visually to the Chris Stapleton one, but his version can get WAY louder than the original ever one was. I am not an electronics expert, but I doubt that the larger speaker in the CS is the only reason. — Jack aka WoodyJ The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) The Hula Hounds (1996-current) The X-Rays (1997-2004, 2024-) The Surge!

I built my own 6G2 which has a 12" speaker but it does not get loud at all. Turning up the volume just compresses the signal after a certain point. Don't think it's just the efficiency of the speaker.
