I have owned and played a lot of amps in the 17 years I’ve been playing ,and this is hands down one of my favorites AT ANY WATTAGE. Don’t be a rookie and fall for the 1-150 watt fallacy, (look up an article on the volume difference to the human ear between 10-100 watts.. it’s something like 10 percent ). Where most heavy gain capable amps lack a competent clean channel; this one sparkles and could easily serve as your main amp for gigging . I can turn it to about 1 in my living room. Separate channel volume knobs and eq knobs eliminate the need to run 2 amps for clean and distorted . The tubes are fully lit up by hidden blue (clan Chan) and red (gain) LED’s and it looks amazing. This lunchbox is slightly larger than an orange or EVH etc. its about half of a normal size head , and the enclosure feels rugged and practical. love it!!

I first ran across this amp on zZounds about 3 months ago, I know, where have I been? So, I watched the video with M. Tremonte and loved the tone so I began watching more videos on YouTube... and there are a lot of them. In fact there are so many that describe every aspect of this head so well that I would not be doing it justice to try, so I'll just stick to my personal experience and opinion. I'm running it through the MT112 Cab. Upon receiving the head I plugged directly into the front to get an idea of the raw tone and power and all of the reviews are right... it IS very loud for a 15 watt head. After a few hours of direct play, I set up my L6 Helix using the 4 cable method. I didn't want to color the tone of the amp too much, I just wanted to use the FX loop for some reverb, a little eq, and noise gate. I did set up an overdrive block to see how that would work for a lead boost, not that the amp has any problem in the drive department but I like my rhythms to be backed off and tightened up on the distortion and short of having to stop and manually crank the knob for my lead, this is the best way for me to do it. I fiddled with this setup for about a week and was just not getting the umph in the low end or the over all thickness I was hoping for. Now, because I was playing all this time at a low volume, I had forgotten about the power level switch on the back. So when it dawned on me, I flipped the switch to the full 15 watts and...Wow!!! That is exactly what I was.missing. Even playing at the same volume, flipping the amp to full power really made this head come alive. The bottom end thickened up significantly and the mids cut through. Now this amp has the tone I've been longing for. I also decided to run it through the speaker in my Marshall Origin 20 combo (not using the amp but just the speaker) The Marshall's 10" Celestian paired with the PRS 12" Celestian added a whole new dimension. So after a couple hours since flipping the power switch I've got an amazing tone, both clean and dirty. I actually can't wait 'till tomorrow to start really tweaking different signal chains through my Helix and maybe even my POD HD Pro-X to see what kind of sounds I can tease out of this head. I may even try running this amp and another one stereo using the 7 cable method. I highly recommend this head, not only for the aforementioned reasons but many more not the least of which is the great price for such an amazing amp. There's a reason that it's so popular.

This 2019 MT 15 is absolutely insane! Compact amp with a boutique sound is amazing for the price! This updated version has a quiet effects loop for anyone who’s concerned about that. I’m totally impressed with this and if they ever come out with a 100 watt I will be buying that one as well! zZounds payment plan makes it affordable so you do not break the bank and I love that!

Crushing Metal tones. This amp has an insane amount of gain and the wattage is definitely underrated. It sounds especially heavy it you add a BBE Sonic Stop (sonic maximizer) or an EQ pedal into the effects loop. If you enjoy playing Thrash, Death Metal, Speed Metal, Nu Metal or the heaviest of all Heavy Metal, this amp definitely will not disappoint.

I use this amp mainly as a pedal platform and the clean channel is absolutely perfect for that. Very "higher wattage" Fender type clean channel that took all of my pedals beautifully after less than half an hour of tinkering with my 14 pedals (4 of which are catalinbread amp-in-a-box style pedals. Dirty channel. After some time and adjusting of EQ, I came to find that, with the presence knob at about noon to 3oclock, running the bass at around 9-11oclock and mids &Treble full up had the best Tone in my opinion. Never really ran a 2 channel amp's dirty EQ that way, so that wasn't my first shot at finding a tone I like. One thing that really sucks about this amp, and something I've read quite a lot of agreeing reviews about, is that the effects loop is quite noisy with anything you put in the loop... Delay, reverb, modulation, etc etc, with power adapter or battery, same noise. Disappointing because I like a touch of reverb on at all times, and reverb sounds awful running into a distorting amp. Oh well.

This is an amazing amp. To put it through its paces I used a tiny micro terror and a Mesa Boogie 2x12 cabinet. Using a Richie Kotzen tele and an EMG-loaded Les Paul Custom, I tried many different styles.I started off with the eq at noon and at half-power. The first thing was that this amp throws a lot of low-end. But it is not unusable in any way. It is just full. The only way to really experience this is by playing is I guess.The boost also worked amazingly. I do wish that is is footswitch-controlled because it throws a lot more gain.Then there is the lead channel. After experiencing the clean volume, I started with volume off and gradually brought it in. The highest I could get it without causing pain was 9:00. This amp is loud as hell! The lead sounded every bit as good as my Mesa Tremoverb and Road King , so I wasn’t missing anything in the gain department. Reverb would have been great, but I have pedals I guess.At the end of the day, this is the happiest I’ve ever been with an amplifier. I look forward to years of incredible sounds in a small package. Remember, this was not full power!

I have played now for about 30 yrs yea I am old, so what! I’m a metal head a heart and a music freak! I have owned ALOT of amps in that time and let me tell you WOW! The dynamics the overtones, rich harmonic distortion is amazing!! This is thee sickest amp I’ve ever heard! From blues country Rock or core metal. It does it all!! Took a few hours of playing to get the tubes to start saturating. Nothing compares to the feel of a tube amp. Also this thing is LOUD!! I love it on 1/2 power it’s still loud but can get them tubes to saturate just a little more. I gave it 4 stars on features because it has none really but is exactly what it needs to be a kick ass amp!! Never Forget the best company in the world zZounds!!! Thanks guys!!

I am a player of 40+ years, rock and metal mostly. I bought the amp to substitute for my Victory Super Countess which is to loud even set at 30 watts. I thought a 15/7 watt would be low enough volume to get some great gain at less than ear drum busting volume. All the reviews I read about this head is correct, it's very LOUD for the wattage rating. At 7 watts, I can get great saturation but it's a little louder than anticipated, not sure if I accomplished my goal, and 15 watts, is impressive volume wise running through my 2X12 Victory cab, more like a 25 watt head. The amp head is AWESOME though, great gain, sensitive EQ control and really nice clean channel. Good for any type of music.

Very happy with the sounds I can get out of this amp. The clean channel is great and takes all of my pedals very well. I use a Boss GE7 on the dirt channel and its pure metal. I will say the efx loop was noisy but not a deal breaker. That being said I replaced the efx loop tube with a 12AU7 and its much quieter. I have been playing for hours at a time and its been a long while since I have wanted to do that.

Well I have had this head for about three years now and have only had one pre amp tube go out. The sound is big and full still hard to believe this thing is 15 watts. But as much as I love having this in my arsenal, I have had nothing but issues I can't get help from sweetwater I can't get help from prs and last night the head literally shot sparks and fried during recording. So I'll be going ahead getting a mesa and probably just leave it broken. Because as it sits now it is nothing more than just a paper weight. I would recommend getting all the Chinese internal stuff switched to american made. Because as long as it works the way it is supposed it is a WONDERFUL head and I do truely mean WONDERFUL.

I bought this amp in November 2018. I loved it. Then the transformer went out on it. I took it to a local repair shop and it has sat there for months because PRS refuses to give out any information on the transformer. In his prudence, the repair guy doesn't want to substitute "any ole transformer". I'll likely pick it up and try to substitute a transformer myself. They (PRS) insist only they are capable of repair. Because of this I will no longer buy any of their products. I have two PRS guitars, but I will get no more. I just ordered a Blackstar HT20RH today, my 2nd Blackstar amp purchase I might add.

Overall I think this is a great little amp that suits my specific needs.Pros:I use this amp as a clean pedal platform, and for that purpose it works wonderfully well. I'm running a line6 stomp into the front, and driving a 4x12. This thing gets LOUD. Plenty loud for band practice and playing any gig smaller than an arena lol. There is little tube hum/hiss on the clean channel, and certainly nothing you'll notice at band volumes.Cons:Noisy effects loop. Like seriously noisy. I've heard replacing the fx loop tube with a 12au7 or 12at7 helps, but for me it doesn't matter since I'm fine running into the front of it. But if you want a transparent fx loop, look elsewhere.The gain channel isn't my favorite. I'm kinda bummed because I was really wanting to like the gain channel too. By itself, the bass flubs out easily. And no matter what drive pedal I stuck in front, the bass is always lacking. I don't have this problem running a different pre-amp into the clean channel, so I'll still keep the amp since it suits my needs perfectly well.Also, this is not a good low-volume (bedroom/apartment levels) amp. You're going to get nothing but fizz at very low volumes, or you crank it a little and get some decent sound. No in between. This is an amp that is meant to be played at volume. I wouldn't recommend this amp to anyone looking for a low-volume solution.

I’ve owned and played on many amps. This thing has an uncanny buzz on both the clean and distorted channel. And I do mean a loud buzz. Was this way on arrival. You cannot record with it as the buzz is so prevalent. Upon research I’ve found many users have had this problem. It’s not affect by a noise gate. I’m using a dbx noise gate.Idk how the reviews here became so overwhelmingly positive for a product that arrives with such a glaring defect.

Out the box sounds pretty good, put anything in the effects loop instant garbage. It loses all gain and and the feedback and hum takes over.I tried the 4 cable method in the fx loop with my Helix and my traditional pedals. Its really bizarre its like if you use the FX loop you lose the preamp. I am returning day one

I've purchased a large variety of amps, and never before have I been so disappointed like I was with the MT-15. I decided to buy this amp after reading/watching all of the hype about it online, but after playing it for myself I have found that it sounds quite awful. The Good:It has a nice clean tone, but no crunch. I don't typically use the clean channel on a tube amp. It seems silly to me. I prefer old-fashioned volume knob roll off to obtain a variety of tones, which is what this amp is poor at doing. It had a solid construction. Lunchbox type. The Bad: It's a one-trick pony. And it does not sound good for anything but harsh metal tones. It's very fuzzy and heavy in the highs. It is not sweet sounding. Altering the knobs did not affect the sound a whole lot. I experimented with the MT-15 for about 2 hours. It was all for not, because I realized that the awful tone I was trying to remove... was just the voice of the amp itself. It's not a good amp for blues, and certainly not for rock. I even question it's metal capabilities... because while it does not lack gain, it just has an annoying voice. I played my Gibson Les Paul and SG through it (BB's and 57's), it was awful. I tried my PRS Baritone on it, it was worse. I tried my ESP Goldtop with Seymour Duncan Slash Alnico II's, nadda. It was very very bad. I even plugged in my pedal board (TS9, Porkloin, Fuzz Face, Delay/Reverb, Wah, Flanger, Supa-Trem) to see if maybe that would produce some warm/sweet tones, but no dice. My playstyle of rolling the volume knob to access a variety of tones between clean/dirty did not suit this amp either. The amp did not clean up well on the overdrive channel at all. Your options are super gain, or less super gain. It does not have a gentle bone in it's body. If you like amps that thrash and thud your skull until you have a migraine, this is the amp for you. Before admitting defeat, I plugged in my old Marshall DSL, Blackstar, etc, to see if perhaps it was just me. Maybe my ear was somehow off. But no, those amps sounded SO much better. There was no comparison. I normally would not have spent so much time trying to get one decent sound from an amp that I really dislike, but the hype and raving reviews for the MT-15 had me convinced that it was good, and I was just missing something. But I wasn't. It's a very poor sounding amp, and a major letdown.The MT-15 belongs to Mark Tremonti only I guess, or those who only love his sound. That's the sound he prefers... for whatever music he plays. This is not a player-friendly amp. You cannot get the sound you want out of it. It sounds like THIS only, and nothing else. I returned this amp, and went with something else, and am much happier. Lastly, regarding the negatives of construction... the feet on the bottom of the amp aren't high enough to stack it on another head, or any cabinet with a handle on it. How stupid is that.
