Just scored a Fender Princeton Chorus amp for $100!
I used to have one back in the day, and the cleans are insane. Bought my old one for $250, traded it for a fucking delay pedal (regret). THANK YOU, CRAIGSLIST!

If anyone has ever managed to get the in-built distortion on this amp to sound good, I'd love to hear how you pulled it off.

If so, I've got money on it involving setting the treble to ZERO.
GOOD BUY, SHADDO!

I have a 210 version that I got for $40, the cleans are awesome, distortion sounds like total crap. the only way I could get it to be bearable was but setting the gain as low as possible. and I only did that in an attempt to make it louder when my main amp died on tour last year.

I forget how, I will look at my settings, but at one point I only used the drive channel. The gain and erthang was so low it was mostly clean, but it had a bit of bite too it. IT sounded a lot like a gypsy attempt at a DRRI

That's what my old one was.

My brother had one when we were growing up, so I got his Peavey Bandit 112.
I'm pretty sure they were designed to have one of their two input jacks broken, or perhaps they were broken on purpose at the factory.
I'm kinda joking, but not really. I haven't ever seen one in person without one of those jacks
at least missing a washer or something. It's even an IRL meme to my dad, who doesn't play guitar. "Princeton Chorus, eh? Buggered jack socket, then?"

I love the thought that in paul_'s house everyone sits at the kitchen table and trades guitar memes over dinner. Rather explains things.

Completely true.
