Three Essential Guitar Tones with Mark Lettieri

The HDRX 20 | Demo | PRS Guitars

Description
The PRS HDRX 20 20W guitar amp head, a reimagined classic rock amp with circuitry approved by Jimi Hendrix himself. In 2018, Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell were granted access to study one of Hendrix's personal amps from Woodstock. They meticulously recreated its circuitry to develop the PRS HDRX series, capturing the flexibility, power and balance of 1960s British rock tone. The PRS HDRX 20 features two 5881 power tubes for thick, articulate tone that breaks up beautifully at lower volumes, ideal for any venue. With a 3-band TMB tone stack, 2-way bright switch, high-mid gain switch and presence control, dialing in your perfect tone is a breeze. The PRS HDRX 20's internally bridged channels have individual treble and bass volume controls, eliminating the need for a jumper cable and allowing you to blend lead and bass channels for your ideal level of distortion. A new master volume control provides tonal versatility without needing an attenuator.
Authentic Hendrix Circuitry Approved by the Master Himself
The PRS HDRX 20 features circuitry based on Paul Reed Smith and Doug Sewell's in-depth study of Jimi Hendrix's personal amplifier from Woodstock. Meticulously recreated to capture the full power and nuance of 1960s British rock tone, the HDRX 20 produces clear, articulate highs; thick, driving mids; and tight, controlled lows for a balanced sound that shines on stage. With a nod to Hendrix's experimental nature, the HDRX 20 gives you full control of your tone via a versatile feature set.
Versatile Tone Controls and Switchable Brightness
Shape your tone with a 3-band TMB tone stack, 2-way bright switch, high-mid gain switch and presence control. The tone stack provides tight control of treble, midrange and bass frequencies. Engauge the bright switch for clarity or disengauge it for a warmer, fuller tone. Boost the gain in the midrange for a throaty, overdriven sound or cut it for a cleaner tone. Dial in the perfect amount of high-frequency presence to suit your guitar and playing style. With this combination of tone-shaping tools, you can craft a sound that's all your own.
Internally Bridged Channels With Individual Volume Controls
The HDRX 20 features internally bridged channels with independent treble and bass volume controls, eliminating the need for an external jumper cable. Blend the lead and bass channels to your desired level of distortion and overdrive. Keep the bass channel clean while pushing the lead channel into saturation, or overdrive both channels for a huge, harmonically rich tone. The individual volume controls give you precise control over the balance of frequencies in your sound.
New Master Volume Control Provides Maximum Versatility
A new master volume control on the HDRX 20 allows you to achieve cranked-amp tone at lower volumes without needing an external attenuator. Drive the preamp and power tubes into overdrive while keeping the master volume low for recording or small venues. The master volume gives you full command of the power amp section, enabling you to go from sparkling cleans to roaring overdrive at the twist of a single knob. Experience the full range of the HDRX 20's tone-shaping capabilities without sacrificing versatility or volume control.
