I just picked up a Fender Princeton 65 (SS) amp. Thinking of moding the tone stack to that of a standard BF fender tube amp. Has anyone tried this or any mod to the tone stack for better tone results

Frankly, you would probably have better results simply using an EQ pedal in front of it.Originally posted by nwguy View Post -
True that. The transistor to tube circuit impedance (and other) differences will make the tube Princeton stack behave differently than it does in the original anyway. It's like trying to put bicycle wheels on your skateboard because you like your bike but not your skateboard. Two different things and the parts (circuits) don't translate the same. An EQ at the input or maybe the "power amp out/in" will probably get you closer.

Have you downloaded the 'tone stack calculator'? I'm not familiar with that particular amps tone stack, but I guess it's similar to other Fender SS amps.The values of the resistors and caps are scaled differently, often by a factor of 5, so keep that in mind.Originally posted by nwguy View Post"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
