Fender 68 Custom Princeton Reverb

Post by Pulex »

Hey Everybody!

pretty new to this Forum and pretty new nord user. girlfriend bought one for the band we Play in an now its Standing in my small Studio. however, i am not a Keyboarder I am a Drummer and guitargeek with heavy GAS so i recently aquired one of those new 68 custom princeton reverbs.....

so what should one do if one has a fender amp and a nord? im not really good at playing keys…but I love the sound of e-pianos plus fender amps


hope this works with the link, didn’t knew if I can post a video and im not shure if everone

nord plugged dircetly into princeton, no effects at all from le nord




enjoy

I'm also a guitar player, but am learning keys. The general rule is to avoid using a guitar amp with a keyboard. It's the same idea as playing a bass through a guitar amp - you run the risk of damaging the speaker, especially if you crank up the volume too loud. I run my Kronos directly into my mixing desk and play it through my studio monitors. You could also look at getting a keyboard amp, if you don't have access to a PA.

Well im aware of not playing to loud, but why Is there a fender twin emulation on board? because it sounds great! I think e pianos sound best played thru fender tube amps…. normally my…or should I say our or my girlfriends nord is hooked up to my motu 828 but I if im going to record an e piano I would always go for a fender...with reverb and tremolo! Always!

I wouldn’t do this for general amplification, its just to get that sweet sweet e piano sounds, organs and pianos wont sound any good plus I wouldn’t turn the nords volume louder the a quarter!

I once recorded my moog prodigy thru my orange rocker 30..woooo!!!!!! also drumcomputers, vocals, harp etc....guitar amps arent that easy to kill!
