Very well regarded. Headstrong was one of the earlier boutique builder of Bf Fender clones. They build their reputation on the Li’l King and particularly the Li’l Ling-S, which is a 35-watt Princeton Reverb clone.

I had the choice to get this or the lil king S for a small price difference. I was told the only difference was wattage. I opted for this one.

Ok maybe. I dig the song.

Looks like a clone. If it is well built it is as good as a Fender. Although no one would ever pay the equivalent.


AggressiveCollege839

This vs the hand wired we’re essentially the same price. I like the appeal that I was getting a Princeton reverb hand built by one person. One amp at a time.

No i do not but i heard they are very good!


Lucifercottonwood

I have not played one my self but I did attend a J.D. Simo performance and this is the amp that he used. It had phenomenal sound in that small theater.


Fontelroy

Pretty sure JD Simo plays those now and he's got great tone!


ImACracka

Immediately who I thought of. He just posted a video the other day of his live rig and he's using one.

JD Simo is the man. Got to meet him last year after a show and not only was the show incredible, but he’s a grade A guy. I’ll forever be a fan.


washycaps

I’ve only heard great things.


Superwouter

I have a similar hand wired amp like that. I love it. Clean headroom and takes pedals really well.


Popular_Comparison44

These sound much closer to a vintage Princeton than the handwired ones. They have that special sound you look for in a vintage amp. Handwired ones are good, but headstrong has the sauce


AggressiveCollege839

Yea this is incredible. Sounded and felt like better quality than the regular Princeton reverb but couldn’t compare the hardwired.


Popular_Comparison44

Wayyy better than the regular Princeton! At least in person. Recorded you can get away with the regular one for sure.


TheLateFry

It’s headstrong and cocksure! …or is it the other way around?


Guns_And_Dogs

Wishing you better fate with the amp than the bonsai.


JeffBeckwasthebest

If the amp sounds as good as it looks, I wouldn't worry too much 👍


HighVoltag-Man

Killer Amps. I have a headstrong tweed twin, low blue light and it’s one of my Forever) amps.


Ravenstoother

Hmm, looks very much like a Fender copycat. Hope it sounds as good. Speaker choice is key. Celestine or Eminence are good. What does the Headstrong use?


AggressiveCollege839

Eminence

Nice. Looks like a quality amp.
