MT 15 Amp : Unbelievable

This is my very first real tube amp. I will try to be unbiased here.

Exterior: when I took this bad boy out of the packaging (which was tight and sturdy) I was truly amazed how good it looked. Couldn't find any flaws even on the corners which might be sharp on other chinese-made products.

Sound: at the very first hour of playing with the MT15, I was not happy about the lead channel, because it sounded little too fuzzy for me since I was used to play with amp simulations and combo amps with effect processor. So it was not the fault in the amp - it was me who didn't know how a real guitar tone must sound. After few hours my ears started to adopt this warm and powerful sound, which was nicely cutting through the mix when I was playing with my band. During the next day, the sound was even better and I couldn't be happier. And yes, this boy is freaking loud - I play with my band with the volume knob turned at only 8-9 o'clock.

Clean channel - it must be taken to another topic. It's HUUUGE! I have never heard such a rich and full sound coming from a clean channel. I absolutely adore it.

Pros: powerful lead channel, very chugging tone, cuts through the mix, easy to get good tone by turning all knobs pretty much on 12 o'clock (as Tremonti intended); outstanding clean channel; amp aesthetics.

Cons: chinese-made tubes (not a big deal), takes time to get used to the lead channel for newbie tube-head owners.

I was afraid to by this amp, but glad I did it. It's worth every cent. PRS nailed it!

As for a cab I used Harley Benton 2x12 vertical with Celestion Vintage 30s inside.
