Dave Chatterson, a 28-year-old guitarist from Kitchener-Waterloo, has created this cool detailed replica of a Fender Princeton Reverb amp using the classic plastic LEGO building bricks. In other words, a creation that will look great together with the LEGO Guitar.

Chatterson’s Lego/Princeton handiwork simply must be seen to be believed. It’s unbelievably detailed—guts and everything. Lego cabinet, grille, handle, fittings, speaker, knobs, switches, jacks, tube chart, reverb tank, power cord and footswitch. It has a removable Lego chassis, for God’s sake, with Lego tubes, wires, transformer, capacitors and stuff. It even has a Lego Fender logo on the front, sort of.

Head over to the official Fender website for more photos of the LEGO Princeton Reverb Amp and an interview with Dave Chatterson.

This black stylish iPod amplifier/charger allows you to enjoy your playlists with the “warmth and richness only a vintage tube amplifier can provide”.

You’ll be amazed at how time-proven, pre-amp tube circuitry can reveal the subtle detail of brushes on a snare drum, or the sonic thunder of a Fender Precision Bass striking that low ‘E’ — as when the Funk Brothers’ James Jamerson sets the groove for Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”. Aural details that have been lost as MP3 files are compressed for storage and transmission, dramatically re-emerge through this 25 watts RMS per channel, all-tube pre-amp system.

Rugged steel chassis finished in gloss piano black includes massive power transformer, and 3 multi-plate vacuum tubes protected in a removable, ventilated cage. Optional stereo speakers in matching gloss black feature efficient ported Bass-Reflex design, 3/4” tweeters, and robust 4” woofers. Includes cradle inserts for all iPods (except Shuffle), 2 additional source inputs, S-video and RCA video outputs, 2 pair of gold-plated speaker terminals, and remote.

The Vintage iPod Tube Amp/Charger ($799) is available from Herrington.
