![]() One way of looking at the tweed Harvard is that it offered everything players would come to love in the brown and blackface Princeton of the early/mid ’60s, minus the tremolo. With the Champ and Princeton in its rear-view mirror and the Deluxe and Tremolux on its horizon – with the Vibrolux riding shotgun – the Harvard was flanked by several small-to-medium-sized alternatives, yet its specs, for many, are likely to be even more appealing than those of its siblings. Given the current craze for semi-small “home” and “recording” amps, Fender’s 5F10 Harvard of 1955-’60 could be the ideal tweed amp, yet, in its day, it fell between two stools and never sold in large numbers.
