Vintage Guitar’s Phil Feser has great things to say about the new NF3 and the SC58. "The PRS SC58 is a throwback – a time-tested design with top-quality tone. The NF3, while inspired by a classic design, is a true PRS original with a tone that covers a lot of territory."

Amp building at PRS, like guitar building, is a never ending process of discovery. Doug Sewell and the Amp team are constantly exploring new avenues in a quest for great tone. This affinity for tweaking led to an amp mod, internally referred to as “Rev B,” earlier this year for our 16 and 30 watt amps. Sewell explains, “We originally designed the Sweet 16 and ‘30’ as low wattage amps to be used in the home and in recording situations. What we didn’t count on was that a significant number of customers would want to gig with these amps...some in fairly large venues. To address this, we came up with an amp mod in the spring of 2010 that affords more head room and a different EQ on the high end."

PRS is proud to offer the first production run of the PRS 2 Channel “C” amplifier. Handmade in Stevensville, Maryland, these amps feature two channels with independent treble, mid, bass and gain controls and a global master volume and reverb. The unique lead channel offers powerful, liquid characteristics, while the clean channel has shimmering, clean highs and extensive headroom but can be overdriven at maximum settings. The proprietary Cinemag (“C”) transformer provides aggressive vintage tones, making this amplifier extremely flexible. An effects loop with adjustable send and return is also featured.
