Review Demo – PRS MT15 Mark Tremonti Signature Amp
Read the review: http://bit.ly/PRS-MT15
Mark Tremonti has used and endorsed PRS’s USA-made Core and Asia-built SE guitars for years. Now he’s exploring the other half of his sound with PRS via the new MT15 Mark Tremonti Signature Amplifier and 1×12 speaker cabinet.
In the form of the MT15, Tremonti’s incendiary high-gain tones live in a compact, low-wattage lunchbox head suited to home-jams, studio, and small-club use. It’s a much more practical option than a version of the mammoth 100-watt rigs Tremonti habitually tours with. It also sells at an impressively affordable price.
While the MT15 might be small, Tremonti and PRS have clearly designed the amp with the intent of punching above its weight (which is an almost feather-light 17.8 pounds) class. The MT15 uses a pair of big 6L6GC output tubes rather than the 6V6s or EL84s that would typically propel a 15-watter. Six 12AX7s drive the front end, which includes a foot-switchable, 2-channel preamp offering gain, treble, middle, bass, and master volume controls on the lead channel, and volume, treble (pull boost), middle, and bass controls on the clean channel. The two channels share a presence control.
Why the big bottles, when smaller options can generate the same power? PRS chief amp designer Doug Sewell tells us, “When developing the amp with Mark, we tried 6V6s first. However, his favorite tube is the 6V6’s big brother, the 6L6, and we realized that we couldn’t get a tone he was happy with without using those.

i went to go test this amp as a complete metal head and i kept on going back to the clean channel cause its so good, im so excited to get it home, im just worried its gonna be a bit too loud for a bedroom hero like myself but fuk it ill see what to do about that when it becomes a problem
Wish I could play as well as John. Cheers ????
How can you crank up the master volume without blowing your windows?
It's made in china.i mean how long is it going to last.ive own 2 Amps from china Brok down under 6 months .and U don't think there real valves do U.
Glad to see some funky/clean tones used with this amp
There's much less sizzle when you go back up to full wattage. The amp breathes in a very different way.
Didn't like the sound of it
Nice to see that Timothy Olyphant is good at guitar too
John Bohlinger plays like a god!
I am becoming consistently blown away by this guy's chops.
For me, this was a great review… to everyone complaining, there are already SEVERAL out there demonstrating it in a metal capacity, including Tremonti himself. But I want it for blues, rock and country, so this was perfect… thanks!
I wish just one persons demo would play a Les Paul or say a Strat thru this thing…
Wanted to buy this amp from my guy at Sweetwater. Wouldn't sell me one because supposedly, they've recently had really had a rash of amps that had a lot of noise/LOUD hum. Sweetwater won't sell a one until sorted out from PRS. I pass no judgement. Really want this amp, but when a techie says "not yet," I listen.
I know he says it's super loud….but could this keep up with a Marshall half stack, bass and a loud drummer in a hard rock band?
I want it just to for the multicolor tubes glow!!!
it would be cool to see a review with something else a PRS guitar
great review….focusing on all the aspects of the amp and not just the high gain like other reviewers……..
I feel this was a bad review because an electrified acoustic was not used, I wanted to hear the true folk sound of this high gain metal amplifier.
What about the Lead/Clean input switch? You only had it in clean? A lot of bedroom hi gain warrior would of wanted to hear this amp chug , along with a good aftermarket metal type pickup. Not to knock you or anything, but I'm sure the idea with the amps namesake was to market the amp to high gain players.
Great review man,youve done it the way I might have. Also,your a great player!
Now If I don't hear my fav phrase from John(scoop the mids wierdo's) I'm coming down there after him, now on with the video
Adding your own reverb to the amp? Otherwise, great demo and nice sounding amp. I guess there's always pedals to fill the gaps!
True review……Amp sounds flat dry and padded on the top.(probably partly the ribbon mic)
Drive sounds more like pedal than amp? Midrange frequencies are likely to rob a vocal mix, however sound more suited for rythm than solo.
Wow! Great clean tones and excellent high-gain tones!
nice country amp! geeeeeezzzzzz get a metal player to demo this!
I got mine a week ago and it was worth the 4 month wait..
Ordered mine ,4 months ago …dang mail man must be rocking it
That actually sounds pretty shitty. But may just be the demo.
I just got mine yesterday and plugged it into my 2×12 v30 cab and this amp is absolutely great in clean and cranked! Sounds as good and it just as loud as my MESA Stiletto Deuce in 50 watt setting. So clear and articulate. It just ROCKS! Worth every dime and I will say the best Tube amp for the money I have ever tried or owned. The sound compression on YouTube just does not let you really hear how good this amp really is.
The head is $650, decent price. I expected this to cost twice that.
PRO TOOLS can make a walmart 50 dollar amp sound great. proceeded with caution! this is the internet folks
It's a metal amp, so where's the chugs!
Dude, the mods on that SE one are sick! A B-bender? Very cool.
Didn`t know Bobby Briggs demoed guitar amps ^^
Meh. It's ok. Nothing blowing my socks off here (and that includes other videos). I think the NAMM hoopla over this intro by PRS into the lunchbox game…along with the delay….has helped to keep the excitement strong but wait a few more months and you'll be able to scoop one up used for $450. When the 6505MH came out, people were falling over themselves that Peavey finally downsized the 5150 and now, you can't walk 20-feet in one direction without stumbling over someone selling theirs. GAS is real. Take advantage of those who are rushing to buy the MT15 now but will no doubt be littering reverb with 'em by October. Chinese-built lunchbox honeymoons are notoriously short-lived.
Will we ever see the full review of the Origin Effects Revival Drive? It’s been a bit of time since the first look video. ????
Me: "Nice, a demo on the MT15, I hope it sounds great"
dad rock ensues
Me: "Oh."
Another demo gone bad because when you use a guy who is not a high gain player on a overly high-gain amp means a bad review
This amp really shines with the right kind of player just go check out some other videos and you'll see how awesome this amp is sorry John but you're just not doing it justice
I would love to see a rig rundown of John's own gear . He is a fantastic player and I would love to see what gear he likes enough to use on his own without having to review it .
red LEDs look lame to me
Holy – well, WOW!
Watched a few demoes of this beauty , it's a 10 out of 10.
Strange that its called a 15 watt amp. Most amps with two 6l6 tubes are putting out 50 to 60 watts easy.
I need that t shirt
John could you do a video showing off all your guitars thatd b cool
Nice amp I would consider but I already have the Marshall dsl 20 with EL34s and a peavey 6505 mh 20 watt EL84s . The Marshall gain channel is heavy Smooth and organic and surprisingly headroom is unbelievable. the peavey is fun too but not as good as Marshall in sound and headroom.
Pedals? No one is doing pedals through the front of the clean channel! Seems like it only gives two tones and those favor chiknpickin style.
Sounds reasonably good
I so want this amp! I want the cab voiced for it too, but wish it was a 2 x 12 instead of one by..
