PRS Guitars HDRX Guitar Amplifier Head, 20 Watts (108456::ST-:)

By far the best amp I've used under $1500. Have it paid with a vintage 30 and it sound unbelievable.

This amplifier got my attention when I read that PRS had access to a Marshall amp that Jimi Hendrix "modified" and brought to the Woodstock festival. . My curiosity got to me after reading about how the PRS folks reverse engineered Hendrix's Marshall amp using his actual amp and built three"HDRX" models- USA built 50 watt and 100 watt priced at around $3000 and a 20 watt model built in Indonesia.. for a fraction of the price. The 50 watt and 100 watt amps are too powerful for where I play but the 20 Watt is right up my alley. I have more than a couple amps but typically play with a small (15-20 watt) Fender '65 Princeton reissue or handwired Mojotone Blackout that is based on the Fender 5e3 circuitWhen it arrived I was VERY impressed with the fit and finish and after hooking it up to an ElectroVoice EVM12L speaker cabinet loved the tone... thick and rich. If you don't use effects pedals for reverb, tremolo or other effect you may want to pick up some good effects pedals- All controls on the amp are completely dedicated to shaping the amp's tone, a design choice that is all amp and no effects.
