Please recommend an amp for rockabilly that has trem and reverb on board

[jnurp]

I have a Princeton RI, its pretty good, im not crazy about it for some reason. Its a bit underwhelming at times, hard to pin point why. I wouldnt be opposed to another Fender, i love the cleans and its pedal taking ability. I wouldnt want an amp without trem and reverb so it has to have both.

Carr Rambler?

Since you dig the PRI maybe look at another Fender with a bit more power. Sometimes the low wattage stuff is a bit thin compared to the higher wattage models.

Check out Swart amplifiers.

A lot depends on what you want to spend.

Rambler is probably exactly what i want. I played a Mercury last year i thought it was fantastic.
Do you guys know anything about Tone King amps? there is a store near my house that has a continental that looks right up my alley too.

There are a bunch of makers doing it right nowadays: Marsh Amps, Gomez, etc.

Fender Vibro King or the now-discontinued Dual Professional from that same era. I love the sound of both of these amps and I am not a fan of Fender amps from the last 20 or so years generally speaking.

Definitely check out Oldfield Amps. The 40W Club is about what you are looking for.
"The Club 40 has reverb and bias modulated tremolo effects."

Soft it's pretty blackface but as you drive it, the mids come up and it turns tweedy.

Change the power tubes with no biasing and you have 5 to 40 watts which is killer for most venues.

It has an amazing reverb and trem built in.

If you want to stay economical, I'd go with a Blackface Bassman and spring reverb pedal and trem pedal and you'll nail it for a fraction of the cost that a boutique amp will run you.

But if you want true rockabilly just go with the Setzer setup and with Blonde Bassman and Space Echo, and you just need a pompadour and leopard print shoes

A Goodsell super 17 is exactly what you're looking for.

My Princeton Reverb sounded a little small to my ears with a ten inch speaker until I made a new baffle and stuck a Celestion G12h in her. I do prefer a Deluxe Reverb over a Princeton Reverb. A Deluxe Reverbs Cab is a little bigger and gives a even bigger sound but sometimes a Princeton reverb with a 12" is the perfect amp for some clubs.

Best to have both if possible and you can use one as a backup. Sometimes I gig them both. Now thats a killer sound.

Give that a try or go for a Deluxe Reverb or a Super Reverb. They all nail the Surf Rockabilly sound IMO. Also try a little slap-back echo and or slap-back delay in addition to some Reverb and or Tremolo.
