Fender Princeton 112

I got this Princeton 112 in a trade. Sounds great.
Only issue is a loud pop when turning it on or off.
Something I can check or carry to a amp guy.

Ignore it.

If it has a standby switch, leave it on standby for a few seconds after turning it on, and put it on standby for a few seconds before turning it off.

Turn the volume all the way down.

Dave Hopping · From: Aurora, Colorado

Thanks Fred. I forgot to put that tip in. Winking

It would be interesting to know why this happens.

Turning the volume down won’t eliminate it completely, Dave. But it might make the pop a little less annoying.

Even with the volume all the way off does not help when turning off. It is loud. Just gonna take it to a repairman. Too nice not to use.

How old is the amp? Maybe it just needs a new switch. Pretty simple soldering/wiring job.

Joey Gaskins · From: New Bern, North Carolina, USA

Probably is older than it looks; closet queen. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks, Fred! Smile

As I understand it, a Princeton 112 is a 35 watt solid state amp, not the single 10” 12-watt tube amp with a standby switch....
