Wow ... I ... thought... I ... did... this... a lot.
But seriously, as I've mentioned around here before, I have a serious guilt trip about modding an old Blackface Princeton above and beyond the call of sanity. With good tubes and an efficient 10" speaker, the tone of a BF Princeton approaches perfection- for what it is. If that's not the sound you're looking for, you're really looking for a different amp.
A Blues Jr. does loud and dirty in a small package, and experimenting on them can only improve them. BF Princetons, on the other hand, are an endangered species, altering them beyond maintenance borders on irresponsible conduct, much like putting a cheesy faux Rolls-Royce front end on a '63 VW Bug, only worse.
