For another 50-100 bucks the Recording amp with it's attenuator and on-board stuff is pretty cool too. My question is other than the on-board gizmos, is it the same amp as the RI?

The basic circuit of the Princeton Recording amp is probably similar....but the addition of that transimpedance attenuator forced Fender to create significant differences in the output stage....one of whch is the addition of a solid state driver section that is used to drive the speakers when using that attenuator. Not sure if this is completely bypassable when not using the attenuator. They are much more expensive though...over $1000 I believe...and they do not have the original (or any) tremolo circuit...seemingly another marketing oversight. The amp was real heavy due to the power attenuator. It will be interesting to see if it's discontinued...and fall into the category of strange products that Fender once made
The amp being discussed is the new Princeton Reverb re-isssue...which will be a modern day production of the old vintage amp..
