Published on 06/09/11 at 15:18This amp is the 1x12 version of the 100 watt combo. Same features as the 50 wattage and 2x12 speaker package. You have the same great tone for a little less money that the 2x12 version of the same wattage.
I have never been a fan of the PRS guitars and so I was a little hesitant to hear one of their amps but to my surprise this amp sounded very good. It has a extremely transparent clean tone that is one of the best cleans I have ever heard. Then you take it up the volume and you get a pretty good moderately distorted tube driven tone. This amp is not high gain and is designed for the clean tones.

SOUNDS
This amp sounds pretty good and will sound best with a single coil guitar in my opinion. It is very chimy and sparkly type clean tone. Not really a Fender tone but a different character all together. It takes pedals real well and provides a nice warm shiny tone.
OVERALL OPINION
This amp is nice but extremely overpriced. I cannot understand for one second how PRS can think that this amp has anything more than a Fender amp of the same features. Then again you can buy a Two Rock amp with about the same features for even more than this. PRS jacks their prices up way too far. This amp come in new at around $3300. For a single channel clean amp this is a bit ridiculous. This is basically the reason I have steered very clear of his guitars. They are very overpriced and this amp is the same way.
