How can I get the tremolo on my Fender Princeton to sound more tremolo-y?
Silverface Princeton Reverb, am I right? The 12AT7 is for the reverb. All the other little tubes are 12AX7’s. The Fender Amp Field Guide notes that “biases vary” on the 1/2 of the 12AX7 that is used to drive the trem circuit; I found this page that seems to suggest that the capacitances of the simple RC circuits can vary too. And finally here is a Surf Bug that replaces the stock Fender widget in the trem to make the trem deeper. I don’t know if they were still using these in the post-CBS era, though. Long story short: I’m sure this can be done; I don’t know how to do it; I bet if you fired off some emails to the folks behind the webpages I linked to, you’d find out how to do it in short order.
