ON ORDER
The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is Fender's all-tube Princeton Reverb dressed the way the amp looked from 1968, with a silver and turquoise front panel, aluminum grille trim and a blue jewel light. One channel, 12 watts from a pair of 6V6s and a tube rectifier, and a single 10-inch Celestion TEN 30.
The circuit under that panel is changed. Fender modified the tone stack to sit better with pedals and reduced the negative feedback, so the amp reacts more to how hard you pick and breaks up sooner. The controls are Volume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Speed and Intensity, with a tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo, and the two-button footswitch for both comes in the box. Hand-wired tube sockets and custom Schumacher transformers. About 34 pounds.

Questions
Does it have an effects loop or a line out?
No. Fender lists neither. The front has two 1/4-inch instrument inputs, the second 6 dB lower, and the back has two parallel 1/4-inch speaker jacks.
Is the footswitch included?
Yes. A two-button vintage-style footswitch (Fender P/N 0994058000) comes with it and turns the reverb and the tremolo on and off; Fender labels the tremolo button Vibrato.
What tubes does it use?
Two 6V6 power tubes, three 12AX7s and one 12AT7 in the preamp, and a 5AR4 rectifier tube.
