PRS has just unveiled their new PRS MT 100, better known a the PRS Mark Tremonti signature amplifier.
“After the success of the MT 15, I wanted to make an amp that I could take on the road and not miss any of my amps at home. After years of R&D and road-testing, the MT 100 has become my one and only touring amp. It really is three amps in one with no compromises – each channel alone is worth the entire price of this amp,” said Mark Tremonti.
Each channel of the PRS Mark Tremonti signature amplifier is built from its own unique circuit with dedicated preamp tubes to ensure the voicing of each channel is exactly as intended. The Clean channel (like the MT 15) stays pristine and chimey, while the Lead channel (also like the MT 15) gets lush heavy tones with massive bass response that is never muddy. And, the added Overdrive channel brings an incredibly flexible gain structure and musical midrange response to this already versatile amp platform.
“The Lead channel is where it all started. It is huge, chunky, and aggressive without getting harsh. A lot of high-gain amps focus on the gain and the rest is an afterthought. In my opinion, the MT 100 – like the MT 15 – has the best sounding clean tones in the high-gain amp world.
“The Overdrive channel is a very special addition to this amp. We obsessed over this channel, using one of my favorite personal amps for the voicing. We wanted the gain structure to fit between the Lead and Clean channels and for it to have a sweet midrange response all its own. I can’t wait for people to experience this amp,” added Tremonti.
Other design elements include a three-button footswitch for channel selection and an effects loop; plus all three channels share the same preamp tube type (12AX7’s) for ease of servicing.
