Someone gotta talk me down off this ledge lol..... Got a brand new PRRI earlier this month and love it! Browsing around on FB marketplace this morning and I seen one of the 1x12 Bordeaux versions about an hour away from me, asking 775.00..... Anyone out there own one of each? Anyone out there think of a reason NOT to own one of each? lol
Tell me I don't need a 2nd Princeton!
- Thread starter drri
- Start date
What are the differences, beyond cosmetic?

The only reason I'd give up mine is if I were to get a good deal on a 12" version. Do it!
No! Why would any reasonable person tell you that?
2 is literally twice as good as 1.

I refuse to tell you that.
But I will say:

A good ABY pedal is like coffee meets neurons. Play one amp wet with reverb, or delay, or whatever effect you like, the other dry. Yum.
Though you may want to celebrate your Princeton's greatness with a different flavor--e.g., a chewy tweed or crunchy Vox.
Playing one great amp is great. Playing two--together, or in conversation--that's X times even better.

You don’t need it. It’s just the price that tempts you. But if you own it you have to maintain it- tubes, cap jobs, etc.
If you need a backup something like a Quilter Superblock US or Strymon Iridium makes more sense and would be much cheaper.

Regular PRRI is a 1x10 speaker... This version is a 1x12 speaker, same amp otherwise.

I owned one of each and wound up selling the 1X12. I didn't like the tone, too much low end and too woodeny sounding. The guy that bought it played about 3 notes and said "I'll take it" so to each his own.
10 v. 12, then? Thoughts:
- If I was gonna spend $750 on a second amp, I'd want a much bigger difference than that
- But it is a difference
- Problem is, it's a kinda even split between folks who prefer 10s v. 12s in PRs
- Then, too, the actual brand and model of speaker are huge factors in both sizes

I have 2 two Tweed Deluxes, 2 Teles, 2 strats, 2 PRS, 3 Gibsons.
If it sounds good, buy it.

LOL you guys, he said to tell him he *doesn't* need a second Princeton. OP, telling you that would be totally against the rules here.

I would not have two reissues if I didn't already have at least a real silverface pr. An amp that's currently in production is one I could buy any time anyway. There are too many amps out there to have two of anything, for me. Maybe I'd buy it to see if it's better with the 12", and then sell one.

Maybe this will discourage you... I bought a 12" baffle and a GA-SC64 12 for my 67 PR and it sound bigger, better, and stronger. You need this 2nd amp to compliment your PRRI!!
But I'm an amp-oholic.

I have the tweed version with the 12’ Canabis Rex that I love. Been thinking about getting the 68 reissue with a 10 also but keep talking myself out of it. Good luck!
Princeton's just sounds so so rich!
And congratulations on a great deal
