That's right Cedar,people who are serious about vintage tone and getting the most original tone possible,sometimes means owning more than one amp,especially if you're trying to gig with them and fit the room....it's hard to get "the one"...but the Deluxe Reverb is really close to being that one!


+1

If you own a Princeton Reverb, a Deluxe Reverb, and a Super Reverb or Vibroverb, you've got 90% of the bases covered as it applies to live venues.

That's how I think also Arjay...although I don't presently own a Princeton Reverb,I do have the 6G2 Brown Princeton,it's really not my favorite of the ones I own...usually for my giggin' needs,my three go to amps are a '66 Deluxe Reverb,the '67 Vibrolux Reverb,and the '66 Pro Reverb,pretty much in that order for the size of rooms,from smallest to largest or mic'd outdoors.
The next best for small to mid sized rooms is the Brown '62 Vibrolux...with the 2 6L6GCs and a great 12" speaker,it covers a lot of tonal range,and has decent power.

The triumvirate of a D-verb, V-verb, and P-verb is an unbeatable array for nearly every situation, Reb. I'm certain that a Princeton Reverb will one day join your herd.

Thanks For all the advice guys :) . im getting ready to order som replacement parts, but i noticed the filter caps in this are 20uf 450v . i was planning to get 16uf but was wondering is there any reason/benefit to have the 20uf's in there?

The 20uf electrolytics *might* enhance the amp's bass response to a marginal degree and tighten up the transient peaks below 400Hz or so but the Deluxe Reverb really doesn't need any help there as long as a quality speaker is used.
