StewMac Priceton Reverb Build Project - Part 1

[@rayburn2007]

You soldered it wrong black is positive and white is negative you have it backwards

[@Rico__B]

Looks cool-Thanks for sharing your Amp building journey.

[@liquidsnake6879]

It's nearly as expensive as buying it directly from Fender already built lol what's the point?

[@shanewalton8888]

I guess it could be a learning experiment. Some people find joy from tinkering.

[@Tiresmoke7]

This amp is hand wired and does not use a PCB board. The hand wired version from Fender is 2800 $

[@addictedtogear]

$3859.99 in Canada for handwired version.

Building an amp is a job unto itself…add in filming a video about it and holy cow!!….great job Tony👍

Hi Tony. It looks like you're off to a great start. I have no doubt that you will have a successful build and a great sounding amp at the end. Who knows, maybe you will inspire me to build my StewMac pedal kit that's been sitting on my shelf for a couple of months now. Haha! Thanks for doing this. I hope to learn a lot.

[@addictedtogear]

Inspiration is always a good thing. Thanks for watching.

Im just curious as to why a princeton , they're an iconic amp . They've been on countless records. Maybe iv answered my own question . Lol Good luck .

[@addictedtogear]

Well, because they sound really good. Are not too big or too powerful and relatively easy to build.

[@tomfoolery2082]

Ok cool . Considering to do this myself . Trying to decide which one to get . Thx

You are taking the right approach by taking your time and reading the instructions. At this stage all i can add is to ensure any surface you are going to solder to is clean amd bright or the solder will just form a blob, cleaning the area will remove any residue. Take your time Tony, you will get there. This is easy for me to say, i have been repairing and building amps for the last 50 years.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I have faith in you. Stew Mac does a great job of writing instructions.

[@addictedtogear]

Thanks I hope I don't let you down. It will be a learning experience for sure!

[@olafurbaldvinsigursson7252]

Well done Tony. ( Well the top panel was upside down!) I can tell you tube circuits are easy to understand. I think that old Dan at SM will be happy.
