Basically, this is a 6150T (T=Tremolo?I don't use it much since you can only control the speed and not the intensity, but it's not that bad), so look in that section for plenty of reviews. What makes this unique is two things; 1-, that it has a 6 by 9" speaker, which gives it an interesting sound?more midrangy crunch when turned up, and; 2-the amp's cosmetics. It's dressed in white tolex with gold grille and trim. And it has a little name on the bottom right that says "Princess"! From what I hear, this was marketed to girls, along with the matching "Princess" guitar, which was a white solidbody with one single coil?that said "Princess" on the pickguard. My amp actually says "Prince", since a previous owner, probably someone named Shawn Cooper who wrote his name on it, broke off the last two ss'... It's okay, though. I'm secure enough in my manhood to play/own a "Princess". In fact, I wish I had the matching guitar...

Maybe it's the speaker shape that does it, but the sound is quite different than most amps I've owned/tried. See the 6150 section for more reviews. Particulary when someone mentions they have a 6150T, which is mixed into this section. I think a few people may even have a Princess but not know it (OH!, the SHAME!!!)...

I got it at a guitar show 9 years ago. In that time, I've only replaced the tremelo driver tube. It's been crankin' all this time... Not bad for a "Girlie" amp!

Awesome. Still cheaper than a Champ, cooler mid-tone crunch. And quite rare, from what I understand...
