PRS MT 15 V2 Mark Tremonti Signature 2-Channel 15W Head
PRS · amplifier
The PRS MT 15 V2 is the revised version of Mark Tremonti's signature two-channel 15-watt head. It carries the voice of the larger MT 100's overdrive channel in small format, and its notable addition over the V1 is a push-pull overdrive control on the lead channel that removes two gain stages, producing vintage, crunchier mid-gain tones. That effectively gives the amp a second usable drive character rather than a single high-gain voice, widening its range considerably for a compact head. It suits hard rock and metal players who want signature high gain plus a genuine mid-gain option.
