The original was used on countless hits over the years, and the new ’65 Princeton Reverb is easily versatile enough to go from your living room to the recording studio to small gigs. It’s got the vintage vibe that Fender die-hards know and love, but the ’65 Princeton Reverb isn’t only for the old-school guys who played ‘em 30 or 40 years ago–it’s for anybody who craves top-notch tube tone, naturally dynamic clean and overdriven tones, and unmistakable long-spring Fender Reverb and tube Vibrato.

User Reviews:
Feature:
Easy to use controls and knobs. It won’t connect with an IPOD but will with MP3. Screw Apple.
Quality:
What I’ve heard so far… outstanding.
Value:
Bought from George’s music in Orlando for same price anywhere online so I feel certain I didn’t get ripped off. My initial purpose was to buy another Boss foot pedal and ended up with this instead primarily for the loop around option.
Desirability:
I don’t want the sex appeal for my daughter but she’s definitely the coolest kid in her school.
Sound:
Just bought this yesterday as an Easter present for my 12yo daughter. So my wife and I screwed with it for awhile and were pretty impressed. I have a feeling my daughter will not need another amp for quite awhile. No hiss, clear and strong sound and all the pre-programmed songs will definitely help with her learning.
Ease of Use:
Once she gets familier with this amp I am sure I won’t see her for days or weeks. But I know I’ll hear her just fine from her room.
Support:
No need for support as yet.
Overall:
My forcast is this amp will give my daughter the confidence that she could be the next Pat Benetar or Joan Jett.

Feature:
The features are very easy to access and use. There are no hidden features that you have to find to use like the Spider amps.
Quality:
No problems as of yet. Peavey has since published a software update that is available from their website. I work for a Peavey dealer and mine was done by the outside sales rep from Peavey.
Value:
the MAP price for these are a bit pricey. Compared to other hybrid amps,these are a great value.
Desirability:
It can get very loud. You have all the effects you could need. Very easy to operate. More of a natural tone.
Sound:
This amp has the modeling features with the slighty warmer tone of the better tube amps. Im not sure how this all works,but I do know that this amp has lots of power and gets very loud with out breaking up.
Ease of Use:
Super easy
Support:
Any time I call Peavey,those people do all they can to help you out. Always very nice and always helpful.
Overall:
I like these amps. The only draw back I can see is that they are made in China. My amp is well put together and solid. I have to say that I am curious if this amp will stand up to gigging and traveling.

Feature:
The effects on this are so good. It would save about a thousand dollars on foot pedals if you wanted all the effects. And every effect has 2 way to adjust it.

This will never get broken. Very good durability.

It is 10x better than anything below $500 and is still better than things below $1000. Very good amp
Desirability:
Very good looking amp. It has a lot of cool lights.
Sound:
This is the best amp that you can get for under $500. It sounds really good and has a bunch of different amp models. I highly recommend it.

It may take a bit of time to get used to. The manual is perfect. I had this for a month and read the online manual and learned about 50 new things.

One of the best amps out there

Feature:
try one, you will see reverb is top notch. the tremelo is excellent as well but the crunch and clean sounds are fantastic and dynamic played both a strat and les paul and they both sounded great through this amp
Quality:
finish and fit are nice, lots of plastic but looks durable and is very clean. will purchase a road case next
Value:
I got a screaming deal at my local music store for $949 I didn’t get teh blue alnicos and spending $600 bucks for two speakers is not happening. I think it sounds great the way it is. I can always change out speakers later but highly doubt it
Desirability:
it’s all Mojo, its got that groovy look but flat out kicks ass in tone and clarity
Sound:
for an amp made in China I am amazed at the sound. I have had lots of nice amps from Marshall, Boogie, Matchless, Budda, and Fender, Peavey. The only amps I have now are the Budda, Fender Twin and a Music Man,. I stopped by the music store for strings and ended up getting a Vox. awesome tone and reverb. I am amazed
Support:
just got it. ask me again in a year
Overall:
playing the amp made me buy it. I had looked online at these and wsn’t convinced…..until I played . get it a test yourself. I had heard horror stories about past Vox quality but this thing rocks.
