PRS Mark Tremonti MT 100 Tube Guitar Amp Head Black

This amp is everything you want. Stop looking and buy this, you will not regret it.

Bought on Musician's Friend, order fulfilled by Guitar Center. Plugged in, powered on and immediately began hearing low-level pulsing/buzzing sounds from my Mesa 4x12 cab while on the clean channel with volume off on both amp and guitar. Brought volume up and these sounds were drowned out by a very nice clean channel that I do enjoy - though there is some low level background noise at low volumes or when you stop playing. Next played through the Overdrive channel which has a really cool crunch sound within what seems to be defined Tremonti-approved parameters. I like channel two but be advised that the tone controls sweep within a somewhat defined range. Note: same low level background noise on this channel. Finally arrived at the Lead channel which is awesome but does have some background noise / hiss. I did consider returning this amp initially due to the background noise / interference but have now decided to keep it because despite the slightly annoying noise, I do really like all three channels and have been able to drown out the background hum to what I consider an acceptable level. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I was disappointed that the overall quality wasn't better, but I am keeping this amp because there's still enough good sounds inside it and the response or "feel" that I like is there. I did run this amp through a Furman voltage regulator and even tried different guitar cables and speaker cables but to no avail. This amp is finicky yet it's not enough to turn me off or make me want to part with it. My honest opinion just so you know.

When this amp was rumored, I was VERY interested. I am so glad I waited to get this amp instead of the MT15. Tones galore, gain for days, crystal clear clean tones, this amp has it all. It does low volumes surprisingly well but it sounds best with some volume pushing it! #sweepstakes
