I agree about the cosmetics, but I also see this as a (somewhat) budget amp. I think they’ve tried to offer a lot of amp for the money and cut corners in the right places. It’s made in the far east, isn’t full of extras. A lot of amps can make a lot more effort cosmetically and look even worse. Its more dull/boring than offensively ugly.
I’ve always held this close to the chest.
-Thom Yorke would make the best flesh eating zombie..look at him, now imagine him deranged & destrorted in full-on zombie mode
No wonder Greenwood plays those octaves in such a menacing stabbing manner!
For me, this one’s a naw.
I wish PRS would have ‘put the cash in the crunch”
& made it a one channel amplifier with footswitchable gain boost with seperate master,
NFB controls, bright switches, etc.
Think about it.... that damn crossover channel!!
Confuses the power/output trannies..
It’s either a good clean channel 1,
with a dial tone channel 2,
& a killer channel 3
OR
a questionable channel 1,
killer crossover channel 2,
& a sorta killer channel 3.
I just wanna’ geek out with Tremonti & check
out his stash of high gain money monsters
I was actually PRS for Halloween this year, yep.
Walk-in’ around Ybor with a PRS shirt, Jackson dragon pants & a gold top Les Paul.
A few people actuallly got it.
I just applied my experiences from an ANNOYING accountant who thought he was attorney,
-a full on Karen always bitching about her lawn service and wanting something free
(while paying late),
,some northern superiority
& a healthy dose of “Vivian” from the Young Ones.
The signsture PRS installs on his amps is the exact same signature on his payroll checks.
That’s why it’s so fugly’..
The mids in those amps..reflect his PRS’s persona.
I haven’t met a real life guitar player who can get along with the PRS distortion-the mids are strange.
However,
I’ll GLADLY take a gold top Tremonti sig guitar
Those guitars are KILLER, especially if you find
a goldie for vibe & mojo.
My fav shredder guitar because of how well it stays in tune & it has a wiggle stick that’s not a Floyd
The pickups are pretty killer also.
The secret handshake is to install a PRS #7
in the neck position
The Tremonti bridge pickup RIPS in that guitar
Sure, but I think both the JVM and EVH are still better looking amps.
Yeah, I'm guessing when you're making amps on the scale Fender and Marshall are, as well as having your own manufacturing processes dedicated to it, you have more wiggle room for extras. I think PRS tried doing the US made route and realised the margins are way too tight and the market of people willing to pay for it is too small. It seems over time their build quality has improved, the price for customers has gone down, and they have a better offering of products available.
If I were to buy one I'd probably just build my own headshell for it. I really like non-standard tolex colors too.
so much this. A friend of mine has an MT-15, LOVE both channels, but I need that low/mid gain Marshall thing with clean up ability. When I borrowed his, years ago, I wasn't into using pedals into the clean channel, but with updates, and now that I've discovered the pedals inside HX, the MT-15 would be a REALLY viable amp for me now.
Sorry, I should have said, the MT-15 would be a viable amp for me. I've edited.
EVH/Fender are chucking out 3 channel amps in spades for $1300 US.
