and winds through several scenic villages before ending in New Brunswick, draws scores of cyclists, runners, and families in good weather. A series of plaques along the towpath chronicles the building of the canal in the 19th century, primarily by Irish immigrants. For more serious hiking, Sauerland Mountain lies to the northwest, about a fifteen minute drive from Princeton. More excellent walking can be found at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association's nature preserve near the town of Pennington. ACCOMMODATION In-town accommodation is somewhat limited to the upscale Nassau Inn and the Peacock Inn B&B. Several chain hotels/motels are located on nearby Route 1.

Review of Princeton

Fender Princeton

Advantages: Great looks, decent volume
Disadvantages: Volume control, clean tone controls

I bought a Princeton 112+ for £200 about 2 years ago, so the main point on the plus side for this amp is the value. Although its pretty small, this amp is a very loud 65W, and is perfectly loud enough for even large pub/club gigs. The amp is a 1x12" combo, with two channels and a master reverb control. The first channel (clean) only has controls for volume/treble/bass; while the distortion channel has gain/volume/treble/bass/contour.

Review of Fender Princeton 112 Plus

Doubletree, Hilton quality at affordable prices.

Advantages: Beautiful, clean hospitable hotel, bargain price
Disadvantages: Cant think of any

I stayed here for 5 days in late November 2008. I would definately recommend. Doubletree is a Hilton hotel and you get what you expect from that brand here. There was a shuttle service from St Louis Airport, which was free, the car park was also free and they bake delicious fresh cookies behind the front desk, which they hand out liberally, also FREE. There was also an ATM machine and small selection of drinks, snacks and toiletries you could purchase. There was a nice bar with widescreen tv and very comfortable sofas and chairs. The was also a restaurant although I didnt use it. I booked through the American Airlines website ( AAdvantage members) and got the luxury room for $80 a night, which was around £45 based on the exchange rate when I booked which is outstanding for the hotel of this calibre. I was there over Thanksgiving ...
