PRS MT100
PRS · amplifier
The PRS MT100 is Mark Tremonti's signature 100-watt, three-channel tube amplifier head powered by twelve tubes, a stage-ready big brother to the MT15. Its Clean channel has huge Fender-influenced headroom that sweetens into chime and light crunch as the volume rises, the new medium-gain Overdrive channel captures D-style and classic-rock voices sitting between a JCM900 bark and a cranked brownface Fender, and the Lead channel is a massive American-voiced high-gain monster, tight on chugs yet thick with a distinctive midrange roar. Designed to fill halls and stadiums, it rewards a good 4x12 turned up. Ideal for hard rock and modern metal with serious clean and lead range.
