PRS Mark Tremonti Signature MT 15 15W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black

Had it shipped to my local GC and picked it up today. Got home, plugged it into the matching MT 1x12 and absolutely no gain/distortion to be had. Plenty of harsh noise though! I'm assuming there's a bad preamp tube preventing the gain staging from working right. And while that's certainly something I can fix myself I kind of like my new gear to work without any fuss so it's back to GC we go. Really bummed as I had done a ton of research on this amp and loved the tones people were getting from it. We'll see if GC can make it right but so far not a good look for my very first piece of PRS gear. P.S.: Website description also says it comes with an amp cover but there wasn't one in the box.

I have been using this amp for about 6 months now. It has worked flawlessly through 4 months of weekly practice by two different bands at our practice space and two outdoor gigs in 90 to 100 degree heat in the Nashville area. Not a single hiccup or problem. I use the clean channel with pedals 90% of the time. The gain channel is brutal if you need that tone. It's not terribly loud, but that's a good thing for me as it allows you to crank it to get some tube fullness and Mike it if necessary. It sounds similar to a tweed fender with a stout bottom end and more clarity. It works with Tele Strat and Paul's.

Great sound out of a small package. Very easy to dial in the sound you want.

I picked this up to use predominantly as a low wattage gigging head. I've since found myself using it for almost everything. PRS doesn't load a bunch of features into this amp. It is simply a guitar amp which is why it's as good as it is. This is a two channel footswitchable (included) amp. It has no effects or reverb. The clean channel is one of the best and most usable clean channels I have played on. It has its on eq and a treble boost. It would probably make a great pedal platform but I prefer to use it simply as a clean. The dirty channel can deliver anything you ask it to from classic 70's to modern metal. It has more gain available than anyone probably needs. If you know how to use the volume knob on your guitar you will find this amp to be very responsive. I keep the gain at about 10 o'clock and dual in what I need with the volume knob on my guitar. Both channels play extremely well with pedals. I've had the best results using the effects loop for time based and modulation type effects. Frequency and drive work great through the front end. I waited to review this until I got some rehearsals and gigs under its wings. This thing is built like a tank and travels quite well. For rehearsals I run it through a 4/12 with equipped with Celestion 70/80s. It's more than loud enough to get over a live drummer. It sounds louder than a 50 watt head I was using for rehearsals. Live I run it through a 2/12 and mic the cabinet with a 57. It sounds great and is very consistent. It's convenient size, durability, and overall sound have resulted in it becoming the first head I reach for in almost every situation now. This is a really great practical amp for any performing guitarist.

Not a bedroom playing amp. Crazy loud! Huge gain! Sounds like a beast. More like 50 watts. At low levels it's sounds poor. But turned up it can't be played in a bedroom. Had the cops called twice on me and I live in a house with decent amount of space between the homes. Best metal amp out.

Great sound with plenty of volume at rehearsal and will have to turn down when mic'd on stage thru a PA system.
