Billgelder Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have two sound clips done. I only used the guitar and the amp, nothing else, except a GT cable. I would advice you to use headphones or good speakers. #1 Heritage H-535 through a 1969 Fender Princeton. Amp settings volume 8, treble 3.25, bass 6, verbroto (speed 1, intensity 3) Rhythm tracks neck pickup one side bridge pickup on the other. See if you can tell which is which. Lead track both pickups neck on 8 bridge on 10. #2 Heritage H-357 through a1969 Fender Princeton. Amp settings volume 10, treble 4.4, bass 5, no verbroto Rhythm track neck pickup. Lead track Bridge pickup. I plan on recording the H-150 "Kuz" tomorrow (Wednesday) after work. I would of done it tonight but John "Moogolfer" came by to check out the new/old Princeton. I love the smell an old Fender amp makes after it has been on for a long time. Does anyone know what I mean or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Very nice, Bill!. And yes, I know what you mean about that "Fender Old Tube Amp Smell." In fact, I started a thread about it some time ago, and, as you can imagine with some of this group, it devolved rather quickly and got deleted..... Enjoy your new Princeton! You aren't helping my G.A.S. for one any more bearable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't helping my G.A.S. for one any more bearable! I would of liked to read that thread. Did anyone come up with a reason why only the old Fenders smell sweet? I have had many tube amps that smell hot, especially the small Mesa Boogies, but they do not have that sweet smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had many tube amps that smell hot, especially the small Mesa Boogies, but they do not have that sweet smell. The smell is caused by the phenolic tube sockets getting hot. Formaldehyde (methylene glycol) is used to make the phenol compound. The small can be associated with ethylene glycol or anti-freeze, which has a sweet smell. .

koula901 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 X2 I spoke too soon, I see you've uploaded a clip with the 357 and I think it pairs very well with your princeton - my favorite fender amp. @ gpuma - you are too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had many tube amps that smell hot, especially the small Mesa Boogies, but they do not have that sweet smell. I do like the smell of my Traynor which is only a couple years younger than your Princeton. I think it's a combination of the electronics cooking and the woods reaction to the heat. Never heard of that tube bit mentioned, but doesn't mean it's not true. I just never heard of it, but then again there is a lot of things I don't know. Love the tracks, wish I could get recordings like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
