Went to go jam this evening, and the bass player brought over a Princeton Reverb for me to use. It was my first time since I started playing to use an all tube amph.

It was a Silverface. The tubes were old. Way old. Plugged in, and cranked it to full blast. Holy...wow....just wow. Dat TONE. Spanky cleans, just into breakup, and a nice, smooth crunch, all by turning the volume knob on my '06 Standard Strat. Reverb set to about 4. No outboard effects needed! Then, the singer got out his Thinline Tele and let me play that through the Princeton.

I tell ya, fellows, I had a big, stupid grin on my face the entire time.


Anyone else ever have a similar experience?
