Responds Like a Good Tube Amp Should

Plug into the two-channel PRS SE 30 tube amplifier head, and find out just how expressive and responsive a tube amp can really be. The 30 watt, 1 x 12" SE 30 sports 12AX7 preamp tubes and "Tungsol" 5881 power tubes for beautifully natural tone. Both channels have plenty of gain on tap, for tones from squeaky clean to over the top distortion. But the real magic of the SE 30 is in its dynamic response - you can go from completely clean to raging hot just by turning your guitar's volume knob up. You may expect that from a tube amplifier, but the SE 30 does it smoother and with better note definition than many amps in its class. Even with heavily distorted six-string chords, the SE 30 gives you a responsive feel and excellent articulation and definition. If you want a highly versatile amp for practice or recording, you'll love the PRS SE 30 tube amplifier head.



PRS SE 30 Tube Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • All-tube design
  • Flexible effects loop
  • Easy cabinet matching


All-tube design:
The PRS SE 30 tube amplifier head packs 12AX7, 12AT7, and "Tungsol" 5881 tubes to cover some serious tonal territory. While clean tones come through thick and vibrant, there is plenty of gain available for incredibly overdriven rock and metal tones too.

Flexible effects loop:
The PRS SE 30 tube amp head features an effects loop with a selectable Instrument/Line input. While most guitarists will use the instrument setting for effects pedals, the ability to switch to a line level input allows you to use effects and processors with line level outputs for additional functionality

Easy cabinet matching:
Trying to decide on a speaker cabinet? The PRS SE 30 tube amplifier head makes it easy to add an extension cab. It has dual speaker outputs and a 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm selector switch to pair the SE 30 with virtually any speaker cabinet.

PRS SE 30 Tube Amplifier Head Features:
  • Highly expressive and responsive all-tube amp head, with boutique features at a surprisingly low price
  • Two channel design, with dedicated tone controls for each channel
  • Global reverb
  • Effects loop with Line/Inst switch lets you hook up virtually any sound source or processor
  • Dual speaker outputs can be used with virtually any extension cabinet to expand your rig
  • Effects loop return can be switched between Instrument and Line level

The PRS SE 30 tube amp head is a detailed and versatile amp.

PRS SE 30 head another good workmanship

by Juergen Reibholdt from

Instead of other reviews I must say after looking for a versatile
2chanel tubeamp head the search has ended with a good made
PRS 30 amphead. With a good pair of 12er Cuatomspeakers in
a... read more [+] closed cab (WGS ET 65 plus Reaper HP) the sound is awsome
good, very articulated clean chanel which you could use with a lot of stompboxes to find your way.
The overdrive/leadchanel is not what someone expected: Another
in the face high gain amp, but more a overdriven classic rock tone.

If someone finds the sound too dirty or weak, please guys try other
preamptubes and you will see!
The Tungsol tubes 5881 by far the best chose for this little amp!
Small, not to heavy and has all the things a good guitarist needs.
Another way is to play good, if thats not the way you may look for
another amp! For me this amp sounds better than a lot of others
in this range. A liittle pricey but for the technical building absolutely
fine! Good Work Mr PRS. close [-]

Two thumbs... DOWN

In theory the amp is a great idea; two channels, global reverb, FX Loop, etc. However, the tone is far from representing the great PRS sound and brand. Clean is average but dirt channel is NOWHERE nea... read more [+]r what you hear in the PRS Website demo. In that demo, it sounds like the Lead channel is warm, thick and punchy. THE COMPLETE opposite! Below 12 PM, it's a manageable crunch/overdrive. Once at noon and/or after, it's like a Fuzz Pedal cranked 100%. No note definition or clarity. close [-]

You guys did an amazing job! Excellent customer service and attention to detail. I loved the personal touch from your shipping department. You guys definitely do things the right way - Hard to find these days!
