Topic: Jo's Princeton tone settings.

Hi All,

I used to have an article with Jo in Vintage Guitar, that had a picture of jo's Blackface Princeton, with a THD Attenuator on it.  I no longer have the magazine, but does anyone else have it?  Can you read Jo's amp settings on the Princeton?  I have the same setup now, and i am looking to be able to copy his amp settings.

Thanks,
Andrew

Sweet,

Thanks.

High on the Reverb, but maybe lost some with age.

Re: Jo's Princeton tone settings.

Maybe these settings are for a Les Paul, they seem a bit bright for a Tele or Strat?

Thanks,
Andrew

Les Paul Tone on 5.... on a Fender you need to crank the Treble to get the proper gain.. the Les Paul takes care of the rest

Re: Jo's Princeton tone settings.

Hey Joe, I have an early-'67 Princeton which is stock. I want to put a "12 speaker in it. What would you recommend? Thanks, and I really enjoy your music.

Re: Jo's Princeton tone settings.

Id recommend buying a Deluxe reverb or a 1X12 extention cabinet open back..  But I use a EV 12 L.  They are great for Fenders.  Very True to what the amp sounds like.. But  I wouldnt  carve into that really nice old amp..  Actually try putting a EV 10 in the princeton and see what happens.. You dont actually get a ton more low end from the `12 in my experience..
