Just wondering for anyone having played both.
Speaker aside would you say the Princeton reverb sounds as good as a DR just less wattage?
I am looking for a small 6v6 amp with Reverb.
Thanks

You folks running Silver face PR's?

I have both. They're similar but not quite the same. The PR has quite a bit less clean headroom which is fine for a "stay at home" amp. I've modded my PR pretty heavily...12" speaker, PI mods, OT upgrade...and I can use it at some gigs with a pretty loud drummer. Mic'ing always helps.

I'm planning on doing the 1x12 thing to a BFPR. Thinking about splurging for a Celestion Blue; comments?

I've got mine set up very similiar and I gig with it regularly and have no volume problems.
BTW, did you have clearance problems w/ the speaker and OT. I've got an OT from Allen, I wanted a Weber 12F150 in the amp but there's no way that hotdog style basket would clear the Allen OT. So I had Weber build a 12F150 into a four hole Celestion style basket abd I mounted the speaker so the OT sits inside one of the cut outs. That speaker sounds fantastic with this amp.
This amp has more grind when pushed than a DR, which works well for my style.

Aren't the DR transformers relatively beefier and doesn't that significantly impact the sound?

I should have mentioned that I do have a 71-73 SFDR.
I was wondering mainly because I only play 1 room....my bedroom ;-)
So I thought the PR might be better in being able to turn it up a bit but still be lower volume wise than the DR.

I would have had major space problems for the OT except that I had already replaced the can cap with internal Sprague Atoms. That allowed me to locate the OT over the hole where the can cap had been. Not sure if it would have been possible any other way. I matters had been more desperate, I would have tried mounting the OT inside the cabinet.
