The Princeton 112+ comes very close in terms of clean sound, with colder dynamics, obviously, but perfectly usable for my music style: The sound is typical Fender, meaning crystalline and well-defined. My amp is a 12-watt, class A Fender Champ 12 with a 6L6GC, mounted with the Torrès kit and I'm really satisfied with it. I have a Strat and play '50s Rock 'n' Roll. Well, it's progressive and useful thanks to the contour control. I expected worse from the drive channel because I had already tried other solid-state Fenders (FM65, RocPro 100, for example), and it was obvious to me that it isn't the brand's main strength. Hyper-clean, well-defined sound, pleasant without the need to spend much time with it. The clean channel comes originally with a reverse log pot for the volume, so the volume increases quite a bit from 0 to 1. In terms of controls, it features two channels with separate EQ, reverb (not amazing, but correct), FX loop, and headphones output on the front panel. I went for this 1996 solid-state Fender Princeton 112+, made in USA, rated at 65 watts, with a 12" speaker, and weighing 31 lbs, which has perfect looks for its age. I needed a backup amp and thought about a basic solid-state amp that wasn't heavy and fitted in my car's trunk.
