Princeton Reverb 1x12" with VVR and 2 pot reverb

I've begun accumulating parts for what will become a '65 Princeton Reverb type clone... but to personalise it I plan to ditch the tremolo circuit in favour of VVR control and a dwell pot for the reverb. I figure this will be a great amp for both Fender and Gibson-esque guitars, whilst also being pedal friendly, and with a loudness I can scale from bedroom level to jamming volume. It should also compliment my grungly 5F1 quite well.

Speaker will be a 12" 15W Celestion Blue.

This amp build might go cold for a few weeks until I figure out all the fine details, as firstly i'm waiting for the a speaker to arrive so I can finish my 5F1 build. But in the meantime I need to work out:
- how to scratch the vibrato from the PR schematic
- how to add in a VVR control
- how to add a dwell pot into the existing reverb circuit.

This will all come in time, and i'm in no rush to start. If you can help me out with any fine details on where to start with my mods i'd be greatly appreciative.

Stay tuned.
