I have a RI Princeton Reverb that I picked up as a floor model. To me the trem is weak & I have to have the speed & intensity dialed to 10 to hear any "wobbling". Very different from my '68 Champ. It this normal? Maybe I should replace the tube? Which tube is for the trem? Or replace all tubes? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks.

Craig

Hi craigh9,

Half of V4 is for tremolo, and half for PI. The easiest thing to try would be another 12AX7 in that spot. No need for a balanced tube, since only half is used for PI. Make sure to try a known good tube. If reverb sounds fine, swap V3 and V4 and see if any difference in tremolo or reverb.
