A long time favourite amp of mine... the Princeton Reverb.... nice portable combo with cool Jensen speaker and a 9AB long reverb...
No hum, no trem ticking or other weird artefacts.... top quality PCB populated with top quality parts...I am content !
Collecting parts for my Dumble ODS 3rd Gen Build,
AA Electronics D'mble ODS PCB,

A big thank you to Michael from Modulus Amplification. Great customer service and advice. Modulus Amplification is located in Kirriemuir on the East Coast of Scotland. Kirriemuir is where Bon Scott (AC/DC) grew up.
I'm building the Prince 60's Reverb AA1164 and thought I would share the process. Starting with the BOM and part numbers I ordered.
This page is also a repository for all the useful YouTube clips & Articles I come across. The best thing about building your own amp is that you can always go back in and improve on your creation. I would also like to give credit to those content creators who put so much time and effort into their videos.
But first a disclaimer, follow at your own risk, build at your own risk.
Edit 02JUL25 Disregard my mains wiring in the photos on this thread (the tag strip for the mains will be removed, dedicated mains earth with M4 screw will be added to the chassis and better separation of the primary & secondary PT wires to be tidied up).
I'm about to re wire the mains…
Two websites that I have found helpful:
http://www.brieskorn.de/int/index.html Go to the Guitar & Amps tab, Amp Projects, or straight to this http://www.brieskorn.de/int/Guitar___Amps/Amp_Projects/AA1164/aa1164.html
The circuit diagram is broken down into the different stages. He also has a Cabinet Building Plan.
And Rob Robinette https://robrobinette.com/AA1164_Princeton_Reverb.htm for mods and original Fender circuit diagrams.
Looks impressive Peter! Nice to know you liked the PCB 😊
Any pics of the inside? 😉
