Princeton 112 Plus Owner’s Manual
The Fender PRINCETON 112 Plus amplifier presents the
player with the best value of any channel switching amplifier
in its price class. Besides the basic complement of
VOLUME, TREBLE and BASS controls in the NORMAL
channel, the DRIVE channel offers completely independent
tone controls including Fender’s exclusive “CONTOUR”
control. This control provides midrange “tone shaping” that
will continuously vary your sound from smooth and bluesy
to a punchy honk, or all the way to 10 for the ultimate heavy
metal overdrive! The DRIVE channel also incorporates
Fender’s innovative 11 smooth clipping” circuit. This circuit
concept is designed to simulate the way tubes clip and
produce the overdrive distortion sound so popular with
musicians today.
In addition to convenient features like All Front Panel
Mounted Controls and Jacks, the PRINCETON 112 Plus
offers exclusive
exclusive multiplexed footswitch circuitry for selecting the
DRIVE channel and for activating the lush internal reverb
circuitry. Remote switching is accomplished by connecting
the optional two-button footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH
jack with a standard mono guitar or speaker cable. Also
included are PREAMP OUTPUT and POWER AMP INPUT
jacks that allow for a variety of external effects connection
schemes and amplifier slaving configurations. The
HEADPHONES jack automatically mutes the speaker in
addition to driving Stereo or Mono headphones.
The built in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over
four decades of dedication in the combined skills of
research and development by our engineers and musicians.
That is why we proudly say ... FENDER, The Sound That
Creates Legends.

Princeton 112 Plus Front Panel Functions
A. INPUT - A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in
connection for instruments.
B. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the Normal
Channel.
C. NORMAL CHANNEL INDICATOR - This LED is
illuminated when the Normal Channel is active.
D. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the
high frequency range of the Normal Channel.
E. BASS - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low
frequency range of the Normal Channel.
F. GAIN - Adjusts the amount of preamp amplification in the
Drive Channel. Cleaner sound is achieved at lower gain
settings; high gain settings will produce more sustain
and distortion. This control works in conjunction with
the DRIVE VOLUME control (item L) to set the overall
loudness of the Drive Channel.
G. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR -This LED is illuminated
when the Drive Channel is active.
H. CONTOUR - Adjusts the overall tone quality of the Drive
Channel without affecting the signal level. Low
CONTOUR settings will provide emphasis in the
midrange frequencies whereas a higher setting will
notch the midrange to produce sounds characteristics
of most “metal” music.
I. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the
high frequency range of the Drive Channel.
J. BASS - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low
frequency range of the Drive Channel.
M. REVERB - Adjusts the amount of reverb signal mixed
with the original dry signal for both the Normal and Drive
Channels.
N. FOOTSWITCH - Plug in connection for the optional
footswitch to select between the Normal and Drive
Channels and to switch the Reverb on and off. For
proper operation of the footswitch, the DRIVE SELECT
switch (item K) should be out. NOTE: Any good quality
patch cable will work with the remote footswitch,
however, a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax
guitar cable if it is availability.
O. PREAMP OUT - This jack provides an unbalanced
output signal from the preamp and can be used in
conjunction with the POWER AMP IN jack (item P) as a
patch point for effects units (i.e. as an effects loop). This
signal can also be used to feed recording and sound
reinforcement mixers. Additionally it can drive another
amplifier as a slave by connecting a standard guitar
cable from the PREAMP OUT jack of the master
amplifier to the POWER AMP IN jack of the slave.
P. POWER AMP IN - This unbalanced jack inputs signal
directly to the power amp. It automatically disconnects
the preamp signal when used. This is useful when using
the effects loop option or when using the PRINCETON
112 Plus as a slave amplifier.
Q. HEADPHONES - This jack provides an output to
standard stereo or mono headphones for private
listening. NOTE: Use of this jack automatically
disables the main speaker. CAUTION: Prolonged
listening at high levels may be hazardous to your
hearing! This jack can also be used as an unbalanced
line output, which is post effects loop, by using either a
stereo or mono 1/4 inch phone plug connection.
K. DRIVE SELECT - Activates the Drive Channel. NOTE:
This switch disables the optional Channel Select
Footswitch and the Normal Channel controls.
L. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the Drive
Channel.
R. POWER SWITCH - This switch turns the AC power ON
and OFF. When the switch is OFF the amplifier is
completely shut down.
LINE CORD - This amplifier is equipped with a
grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility of
shock hazard. Be sure to connect it to a grounded
receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG.
