A great sounding piece of crap.
If you want a short version - don't buy this crap. Find a guy, get a p2p clone. The trouble i got for buying an original is just not worth it.
I saved money for nearly ten years to buy this turd. It was supposed to be my dream amp, a secret weapon for my new band, a tool for giving guitar and singing lessons.
When i got it I was trully amazed at how good it sounded i'll give them that. The reverb is superb and the vibrato unit is among the best i heard. This love affair however lasted only two months after which the amp broke. It started making sounds like it was about to explode. Turned out it was a broken valve heating unit which made the valves arch. I sent it back. It came back STILL BROKEN plus the reverb did not work properly and the knobs were missaligned in reasembly AND all my padding for the parcel i bought with my money was gone (btw Thomann makes clients buy extra padding to send them stuff, but does not take the time to do the same when sending it back to the client).
I repackaged it, sent it back. Now it came from the warranty repair again. I used old paper scraps for padding instead of the expensive air bouble foil and miraculously it came back to me. This time however the chasis was reassembled improperly (i5's crooked) and i can't even check if the amp works, becouse they sent it back WITHOUT THE MAINS CABLE!!
I'm pretty much done with this shit. At this point I don't think I even want the amp anymore. I'm shocked at how poorly Thomann chooses it's partners and at how this situation was handled so far. Considering I have been a client of theirs for years and the 6 to 8 thousand EU i spent there in that time I expect Thomann to step their fucking game up and deal with this in a proper manner.
This story is not yet over so I will edit this review when i hear from Thomann.

It says "Fender" on the front but you don't want to look inside!
Something is wrong with Fender. Perhaps the need to produce is stronger than the necessity to control. This brand new Princeton arrived dead. Upon inspection a loose wire leading to the loudspeaker was found. Couldn't check the sound, gave it one star. I no longer trust this amp, end of story for me.
