The Suhr PT100 is the signature model of session guitarist and tone connoisseur Pete Thorn. The 100W, three-channel amp is hand-wired and features six 12AX7 preamp tubes, four EL34 power tubes, MIDI connectivity, a series/parallel effects loop and a four-button footswitch.
“The PT100 was born when John Suhr asked me, ‘What are you doing using three amplifiers at once?’” says Thorn. “I was using one amp for clean tones, another for my dirty rhythm sound and I’d switch in yet another head for leads. John said, ‘This is crazy. Let me make you an amplifier where you can get all your sounds out of one head.’ So, the PT100 has a great, American-style clean sound derived from our favorite, old-school amps from Fullerton, California. Channels 2 and 3 are modded versions of favored plexi-style amps from England. The prototype amp was very close right off the bat, but I kept refining it with John, taking it on tours and playing hundreds of shows with it.”
