I run two of these in stereo through a Line 6 Helix and a pair of Boss TAEs into two 4x12 cabinets, and the result is one of those rigs you have to experience to believe. The sound doesn't just fill the room; it becomes the room. The stereo half stacks create a natural, physical width that no stereo effect plugin or cab sim can replicate. If you've ever considered running a pair, stop considering and just do it.

What surprised me most is how little gain you actually need. I run the lead channel at around 8 o'clock, which in most amps would give you almost nothing; here it's plenty. Pair it with a TS-style pedal as a pure amp pusher (gain off, level up) and the amp does the real work. The OD and Lead channels clean up beautifully with the guitar's volume knob too, which tells you the amp has real dynamic sensitivity rather than just being a gain stage with a volume knob bolted on. Last but certainly not least, this has a legit clean channel (glassy, American-style), better than any other high-gain amp I've ever tried.

The amp is intentionally simple, and that's a big part of how PRS kept it at this price point. Don't let the lack of onboard MIDI scare you off. A Voodoo Lab Control Switcher plus Best-Tronics Mfg MT100 to Voodoo Lab Control Switcher cable per head unlocks it entirely. Assuming you even need MIDI, once you have those sorted, you have a world-class amp with a world-class feature set at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage. Highly recommend.

So far I have been satisfied with this product, has the power and versatility I was looking for. The sales staff has been friendly and helpful. This is the second item I have purchased from Sweetwater.

This is a beast of an amp,there's no line out or amp out or in or digital anything.
And I love it,speaker outs and a effects loop.
The bloom from this amp will punch you in the chest,the eqs are very responsive.
Pete thorns prs amp is another good one,but this one's meaner.
Ungodly amounts of gain,between 2 and 3 your chugging like ola england.
This amp could be the prs holy grail of tone.

Love this amp, gain channel is great and it is very versatile.

3 different channels, very versatile for all styles of guitar.

The amp sounds really good on all 3 channels. Having the 3 separate channels has been nice once tuned to my own personal sound. I was really enjoying using this amp but it stopped working after 4 months and now I have to try and have it serviced to figure out what is wrong. I hope this is a fluke and not the norm for this! At the moment I am really disappointed in PRS.

So I've owned a JCM 800, Mesa Triple Crown, MT15, and now this monster. Like Mark I'm always searching for perfect tone and over time preferences change. The number one biggest factor for an amp is the clean channel for me. I love my pedals so a good clean channel is an absolute must. I paired this with the vertical 2x12 Mesa cab and I couldn't be happier. Of all my past amps this is the only one to have the near absolute perfect clean channel with just the nastiest of nasty high gain channel. I had tickets to see Mark in Atlanta Ga, in September 2024 but couldn't make it because of Hurricane Helene. I missed my chance to hear him in person so decided to get his amp so that everyone in my neighborhood could hear him! Don't plan to play this at low volumes by the way.

So let me just say that prior to purchasing this amp head I have been a self proclaimed EL34 snob. I just could never find the right 6L6 amp to suit my needs. Tone wise, there was always something missing. And then I heard a few great demos of this amp on You Tube and decided to take a chance on it. Got it home, set it up in the amp rack in my recording studio, hooked it into my Two Notes Torpedo Studio, found the right IR's for it and gave it a go.

Now I don't know what they did at PRS and I know this amp was five years in the making, but when I flipped the standby switch to on I had "THAT" moment. I was blown away. I mean how could they manage to cop the tones of a Fender Twin meets Bruno Underground 30, a Dumble Overdrive Supreme and a Bogner Uberschall meets a Mesa Dual Rec in convincing fashion, make each channel discreet so it's like having three amps in one and put it all in one head? Well, they did it! It's my new "Swiss Army Knife" of amp heads.

My favorite channel is the Overdrive channel for sure. Dime the gain knob on this channel and use your guitar volume knob to clean it up and you have versatility to do anything in that channel alone. The lead channel is brutal but articulate. The clean channel is like blending a Fender Twin Reverb with a Vox AC30. It just works so well.

Also what I noticed is the amp sounds great when you don't stray too far from noon on the EQ knobs. Use it like a spice. A dab here, a pinch there etc.

Before I even opened it, like I said, I was convinced it was going back. NOPE! SHE'S A KEEPER!

Thanks to my bud and Sales Engineer, David Winkert for all his help.

Just give it a try. I think you'll be surprised with this gem.

Absolutely awesome amp!! Versatile and plenty loud in a band setting!! I like it a lot!! Thanks to Ryan for super support!!!

This amp is everything I thought it would be! Amazing throaty crunch tones, dumble-esque cleans, crystal clean fenderish tones. Only complaint is that I have heard some interference with my phone being right up against the amp- just don't leave your phone on the amp- must share some of the same frequencies as Verizon-iPhones. Even though the amp doesn't have a lot of the extras, I love it. Do wish 1/4 were used for the pedal, but there are companies that can make a new cable if you need 1/4 for a Channel switcher.
