Mulling over an change from my PRRI. Starting gigging again soon so need something a bit bigger. I've gigged the PRRI plenty of times, but we have another guitar player now, so I need a bit more bass and power, without losing that fendery goodness. I've heard lots of good reviews of the '68 Princeton Reverb, but not much on the Deluxe. Also interested in the other Fender options at that price point, like the Vibrolux and Supersonic, mainly because 2nd hand wont cost much to swap.
Failing the Fender options, I've also been looking at the MJW Electra Twang and Carr Rambler.

Will check them out. But yes reverb is a must. Trem preferable.

It still remains my no. 1 amp, but again, you pay your money...
I tried one in a store recently and thought it sounded much better than the DRRI - and probably gave the nicest cleans I've hear from any Fender amp.
Pretty tempted....
Another option which worked beautifully with my Princeton was a Superlux cab mic and a 12"powered Mackie monitor.
Basically for 200 quid I had more volume and headroom, a better spread on stage and the same Princeton goodness except louder.
Being able to use the exact amp sweet spot you want at any volume is better than changing to a different amp you may not like as much.
Yes I have tried one and it was lovely. Sounds Great have one in stock and also a Sportsman so I'll go back to try them out. The Rambler was different than the PRRI, not quite as sweet but more strident and authoritative, as you would expect. Plugging in a Strat reminded me of the SRV Little Wing tone, which I love. Probably unattainable for me atm though.
I find putting my small valve amps through a 2x10 makes for a much bigger sound.
