PRS Mark Tremonti MT-100 Guitar Tube Amplifier Head, 100 Watts

The MT-100 from Paul Reed Smith is a brand new amplifier designed in collaboration with AlterBridge and Creed guitarist, Mark Tremonti. This 100 watt powerhouse was built to satisfy Tremonti’s tonal needs in a single ber-reliable all-tube head. After five years of R&D behind this project, fronted by a 25+year touring musician in two of hard rock’s biggest bands, the MT-100 is a versatile workhorse amplifer.

The MT-100 is a three-channel amp running on a quartet of 6L6GC power tubes. Channels are Clean, Overdrive, and Lead – with each of the three channels having a truly independent control set. Controls from left to right on each channel are Presence, Master Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Gain*. (*Volume on the clean channel.)

An important design feature of the MT-100 for Tremonti himself wasto not make a three-channel amplifierin which the lead channel is a revoiced or higher gain version of the Overdrive channel 2. Instead, each of thethree channels on the MT-100 is an entirely unique circuit. To make that possible, the MT-100 is loaded with eight 12AX7 preamp tubes, with each of the three channels having their own dedicated preamp tube complement.

Channel 1 delivers a glassy, bell-like clean tone, while the Lead channel 3 is a high-gain juggernaut with excellent bass response. The Overdrive Channel 2 is the feature that Tremonti says is “what took so long” to design. Inspired by the tactility of one of his favorite Dumble amps, while not being a straight Dumble clone by any means, the Overdrive channel is a highly versatile original circuit with incredible harmonics.

In addition, the MT-100 features a tube driven series effects loop, tube bias jacks, 8 and 16 Ohm extension speaker outputs, removable power cable, and an included three-button footswitch for channel switching.

When two of the biggest names in tone and music collide, the end result is a product that absolutely delivers in strides. This, the PRS MT-100 is an amp made by a player for players.
