“The PRS 30 Combo offers classic EL 84 tones with some special tweaks to the EQ section that give it a character all of its own. All this in a compact but powerful package... the PRS 30 Combo excels at everything from Country to Classic Rock to Blues,” said PRS Amplifier Business Unit Manager Michael Clark.

Described as an English sound with an American twist, the PRS 30 Combo is the first 30 Watt cathode biased combo in a series of lower wattage amps. This amp features a quartet of EL84 tubes with a control layout similar to PRS’s Dallas model and a 12” ET65 WGS speaker. PRS 30 Combos are handmade in Stevensville, Maryland. Other features include reverb, bright switch and a special master volume that is dialed out of the circuit as the amp’s volume is at max setting.

The PRS 30 Combo is available now at authorized PRS Signature Dealers and PRS Amp dealers nationwide.

*Currently available in US and Canada only.
