The PRS MT 15 tube amplifier from Paul Reed Smith. In this inside and out review I show what others often fail to mention. Check the design, the quality, the warranty and the tones. The amp is also played and I cover other things like settings. Check out this relatively low cost tube amplifier because it has something to say for a price most guitarists can afford.
Get answers to questions that you might have:
Why is this just 17 watts output - is it loud enough?
Is this a real tube amp?
What input voltages are available?
Are the tubes good quality?
Can this amplifier be used for keyboards?
What is the overall review score?
Does the MT 15 sound good?
What is the manufacturers warranty?
The PRS 'Mark Tremonti' MT-15 tube amp is an extremely well made amplifier and designed to take the knocks on the road for sure. Of course, PRS comes from making guitars, but later down the road, they employed a really great tube amplifier specialist who is responsible for the tube amp line. And in my opinion it's a massive 'step up' compared to some of the other amplifiers from PRS.
Can a 'Made in China' amplifier cut the mustard? and what about the overall quality? Concerned? Then watch the video!
The MT 15 is made of very strong metal - no plastic here! and while it is just 17 watts or so, it packs a punch far higher. In fact if you put this tube amp on a 4x12 Marshall 1960a cab it can basically move you away from the speakers :)
One great thing I liked about this amplifier is that it is made of pretty good quality components to a high standard, not always seen on guitar amps costing this price. PRS has made a very worthwhile product that won't break the bank.
One of the best features I think is that this amplifier comes with a five year warranty! Yes that's right, PRS support this amp for a whole five years. Of course they won't warrant the valves for five years but nevertheless this is a truly great addition. Other makers in this price range are most often just one year.
