Only tried it in a Guitar Center, but it was very cool. If I still played any rock/funk type electric music, I think it would be on my short list. I have a '79 SFPR with a 12" speaker, however, so I don't really need another amp of the same size.

It's $350, used, description says its been a studio amp most of its life. Very tempting, probably sold already though.

For that price it's a slam dunk. Too good to be true actually.

Do the Princeton Reverb Studio amps have the same basic tone as the standard Princeton reverb reissues? These are bumped up to 20 watts where as the standard is 12-15 watts. I am curious how the tone compares from one to the other.
For $350 its a fantastic deal. Even if you turn around and sell it on ebay for $600 BIN and nevver play it.

I think its legit, it was priced at $500 a few days ago.

Here's the ad from Atlanta's Craiglist in case someone wants it -
