The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is Fender's modern take on the legendary late-'60s Princeton Reverb combo amp. Loaded with a modified tone circuit and 10" Celestion Ten 30 speaker, this 1,000W all-tube amp delivers greater tonal versatility and a distinct rock 'n' roll flavor. The reduced negative feedback also provides increased touch sensitivity and quicker overdrive. Modified Tone Circuit Offers Enhanced Versatility The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's modified tone circuit provides you greater control over their tone when using effects pedals. Roll back the tone for a warmer, bassier sound or crank it up for brighter highs. This amp handles pedals beautifully, allowing you to craft your signature sound. 10" Celestion Speaker Delivers Punchy Rock Tone The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb is equipped with a single 10" Celestion Ten 30 speaker, specially designed to emphasize midrange frequencies important for cutting through a mix. The Ten 30's punchy and aggressive tone is perfect for rock, blues and alternative styles. You'll get rich harmonic overtones at lower volumes and satisfying breakup at higher gains. Reduced Negative Feedback Increases Sensitivity and Overdrive Fender reduced the negative feedback on the '68 Custom Princeton Reverb, resulting in greater touch sensitivity and faster overdrive. Notes will bloom more dynamically in response to your playing and natural tube overdrive will kick in quicker when you dig in. The interactive feel and tube saturation are highly responsive to pick attack and volume changes. Vintage-Inspired Styling The '68 Custom Princeton Reverb's silverface cosmetics pay tribute to the iconic late-'60s Fender amps. It features the same style of control panel, knobs and silver-turquoise grille cloth for a vintage-inspired look. The aluminum trim and chrome accents complete the retro styling.

EXPLANATION OF SONG -- WILDWOOD FLOWER It looks harder than it actually is.. you will have more trouble playing it FAST (or real time) than you will actually LEARNING the song or notes. You may have some trouble with the Hammer -Ons & Pull-Offs, but that's primarily because it's Something NEW to you, not because it's difficult. On the TAB sheet, the "H" refers to Hammer-On; the "P" refers to "Pull-Off"... refer to this article to learn more about these techniques.. Introduction to Hammer-Ons & Pull-Offs Keep in mind: on article, it shows a Riff in "G". This is the same Riff we are using in "Wildwood Flower", only it is in "C". To translate, just move all notes -up- one string; and the last note will be "2nd string-1st fret" (C) instead of open 3rd (G) string. (SEE TAB BELOW) TO SAVE SONG : (1) Click on Song-- It opens in seperate page. (2) Right Click on Song. (3) Look for & Click on "Save Image As"... (4) Give it a Name & Pick a Location on Your Computer. Here's a video of Wildwood Flower... thanks to DJ Snider & Terri Jones. Hope to add another version with both hands soon. Hope this helps you. On the VERSE (1ST Section) ___________________________________________________________ PLAYING (right) HAND I am primarily using my THUMB for ALL notes on the right hand &strings 6--5--4--3. (I use Thumb also on 3rd string here). FRETTING (left) HAND On the fret (left) hand, try to utilize the C Chord formation instead of playing individual notes outside of the chord shape. You should be able to HOLD the C Chord shape and pick-up and put-down fingers on notes. Play the 4th string 3rd fret (F) note with your pinky finger while still holding the C Chord. On the CHORUS (2ND Section) ___________________________________________________________ PLAYING (right) HAND I'm primarily using my Middle finger (right hand) on ALL or MOST of the notes. It may be easier for you to try using two fingers (2-middle & 3-ring). FRETTING (left) HAND Once again, I'm HOLDING the C Chord shape, rather than playing outside of the shape. Use your pinky finger (left hand) to fret the notes on the 2nd string. ENDING (Tag or Riff) ___________________________________________________________ If you want, you can ADD a Tag onto the END of the song. If the Hammer-Ons are not working for you, you -CAN- play each note seperately; however, you will SEE that it does NOT sound the same. Refer to the Notes and Link above about Hammer-Ons.

Most guitars don’t have names. This one has a voice and a personality, and bears a striking resemblance to his owner.
A common question that comes up for guitarist getting into using effects is "What order should I put my pedals in and does it really matter?" The answer to the second question is yes and the order can change your tone depending on how you set it up. With that said, there is a "set" order you should put your pedals in, but this is more of a philosophy than a strict rule. I encourage you to move around your pedals and see how they behave in different positions on the pedal board. Now back to the first question, "What order should I put my pedals in?" If you scour the internet for what the proper order for your effects, you will find a variety of orders and nothing that includes all types of pedals. I wanted to go through all the different types of effects, the order they should be in, and the other places they could be moved on the board outside their typical order. Types of Effects Dynamic - Compression Pedals work best near the beginning of the chain where they can compress your clean signal, they also can add gain to your signal and will drive your amp and other pedals. Other examples of dynamic pedals are boost pedals and noise gates. Boost pedals can work well before overdrives and distortions to cause them to clip harder by boosting the volume. You can place them after the distortion for a solo boost, causing a volume boost in your already gained up signal. Filter/EQ - Wahs and EQ pedals can go in various parts of the pedal board, most prefer Wah before your overdrives. I have seen overdrives used in front of wah pedal to drive the wah, which can be a cool sound. Pitch - Harmony, Octave, and Vibrato effects are best before distortion that way they can process a clean signal and have more accurate tracking. A vibrato pedal uses slight variances in pitch to create the effect. Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz - These pedals boost the signal and then cause it to clip at varying degrees to create the simulation of a clipped signal in a tube guitar amp. Modulation - Chorus, Flanger, Phaser are examples of modulation. There are a few other types, but these are the basics. Vibrato and Tremolo are also considered modulation effects. Flanger and Chorus are time based effect that fall under the modulation category Time Based - Delay and Reverb are found at the end of the signal chain, so they will delay the entire effected signal. Volume - Volume Pedals and Tremolo are examples of volume based effects. Volume is best before your modulation and Time based effects. Tremolo works best at the end of your chain. Effect Pedal Order The breakdown of the correct order (and how and win to break the rules) #1 Buffer - If you are using a buffer pedal, like the JHS black box, it should go at the front so it can drive your signal through all your true bypass effects #2 Tuner - The tuner should be placed as far to the front as possible so you are tuning from a clean signal. #3 Compression - The compressor should be at the front of your signal. It is meant to compress your clean unprocessed signal. #4 Wah & Filter - Wahs and autowahs should go next. These work best processing a cleaner signal, however to break the rules, put an overdrive in front of your wah and check out the cool tones you get. #5 Octave & Harmony - Pogs, Micro Pogs, Harmonist, and Pitch factors go next. These are yet another pedal that work best processing the cleanest signal possible. Some harmony pedals do not track very well anyway and having more gain/noise getting in the way of your natural signal does not help them work any better. #6 Vibrato - Univibe type pedals work best before your fuzz and distortion, this is how Jimi Hendrix would run his univibe in front of his fuzz face and octavia. #7 Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz - Cascading gains into each other is all the rage ever since Stevie Ray Vaughn used to tube screamers at the same time. Pedal boards now feature quite a few gain pedals. The typical rules here are to go from lowest gain to highest gain. To break the rules, try putting the gains in other positions. Using a distortion with an overdrive afterwords to boost the signal can be great for leads. #8 EQ - If you are going to use a EQ pedal with gain pedals use it after the pedals to shape your tone. Some use EQ earlier in the signal to shape their original tone of the guitar. EQ can also be used as a mid boost for solos to cut through. #9 Boost Pedals - I prefer these going after the distortion to use as a clean boost for lead lines. Others use these before your gain pedals to further overdrive your signal into your gain pedals. Running it before the gain will cause it to clip harder and distort more. #10 Volume Pedal & Gate - Your volume pedals should go before your delays, modulations and reverb. Placing your volume before your delay will help your swells carry after the volume has been rolled off. #11 If you use good a gate, it should go after your drive pedals, to eliminate the hiss that can be caused from high gain #12 Any modulation you use such as phaser, chorus, and flanger will go next. These are best to be used before delay or in the effects loop of a delay pedal. #13 Delays & Reverb should be one of the last parts of your effect chain. Doing this will cause them to delay your total effected signal. #14 Tremolo is a volume based effect and should be last in your chain to have total effect of your entire signal.
