PRS MT 15 V1 Mark Tremonti Signature 2-Channel 15W Head
PRS · amplifier
The PRS MT 15 V1 is Mark Tremonti's signature two-channel 15-watt head, bringing the voice of the larger MT 100's overdrive channel into a small-format amplifier. At 15 watts it is aimed at players who want that high-gain voice at volumes usable in a studio or smaller venue rather than requiring a full stack. The two channels give a clean sound alongside the signature overdrive. Within the PRS range it sits alongside the Archon as a modern high-gain design, distinct from the vintage-voiced HDRX. It suits hard rock and metal players who want a compact signature high-gain head.
