PRS MT 15 V2 Mark Tremonti Head
Product information "PRS MT 15 V2 Mark Tremonti Head"
The PRS MT 15 V2 Mark Tremonti Signature Amp is the revised version of the popular lunchbox amp and now offers even more tonal flexibility. With its 15 watts, it delivers an amazingly big and powerful sound that can easily compete with significantly more powerful amplifiers. The two-channel amplifier offers a brutal but always defined high-gain sound on the lead channel, as well as brilliant clean tones with a push/pull boost function for smooth overdrive. New in the V2 version is the Lead Channel Overdrive Control, which allows you to remove two gain stages to create crunchier mid-gain sounds with vintage character. As with the PRS Archon, the MT 15 V2 features a whopping five gain stages before the master, creating dense but dynamic distortion. The clean channel impresses with clear, bell-like sounds that are perfect for chords and fingerstyle playing. Thanks to the integrated effects loop, external effects can be easily integrated, and the bias adjustment on the rear panel ensures easy maintenance. For added flexibility, the power can be reduced to 7 watts, ideal for smaller gigs or recording sessions. Despite its compact size, the PRS MT 15 V2 offers tremendous sonority and power.

PRS Guitars sets its own standards when it comes to electric guitars. At session you'll find not only the high-class PRS Custom Shop guitars but also mid-range models and PRS electric basses. At NAMM 2016 PRS looked to the past and reintroduced CE 24 models to the main range after many years, featuring bolt-on and maple necks — an interesting alternative to the traditional construction. Later, a hugely successful instrument emerged through the collaboration with John Mayer: the Silver Sky series, which was initially expanded with more colours and later complemented by the more affordable SE series.
Through a great passion for guitar making and meticulous research and optimisation of his models, founder Paul Reed Smith has been creating instruments for over 40 years that are rightly regarded as true works of art. Not only guitar legends like Carlos Santana play the high-quality PRS guitars from the Standard line, the exclusive Private Stock or the more affordable SE production.
Paul Reed Smith makes a name for himself
Officially the American guitar maker PRS Guitars was founded in 1985, but founder and namesake Paul Reed Smith has been active in guitar making since around 1975. By giving his guitars to stars like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Peter Frampton and convincing them directly, his instruments became increasingly well known. In 1985 serial production of the Custom 24 began. With former Gibson president Ted McCarty as an experienced advisor, Paul Reed Smith set the course for success for the guitars with the characteristic bird inlays on the fretboard.
Every guitar a Custom Shop model
PRS guitars are generally positioned at the higher price points due to high-quality materials and careful workmanship. Since the 1990s there has also been the SE line, manufactured in Korea, which despite more affordable materials still competes at a high quality level. The S2 series forms a bridge: the instruments are made in the USA but remain relatively affordable.
PRS refers to all its instruments as Custom Shop instruments because of the high quality and the options for customisation, but with the Private Stock instruments the company goes one step further and sets real benchmarks in terms of materials, quality, originality and individuality. One thing all PRS guitars have in common: they are true workhorses with great versatility and they look outrageously good. This is also evident from the countless endorsers who swear by their PRS, as well as the numerous signature models from artists like John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Mark Tremonti and Chad Kroeger.
