This “universal” amp is ideal for recording and for producing heavy tones, super clean tones, and everything in between. External switches on many internal gain and tone components normally inaccessible on other amps provide a nearly infinite tonal and gain palate. Two distinct covering options are available for both the head and cabinet. Covering is available in both Stealth (black Tolex) and Paisley, and both options come standard with distinctive curly maple panels. http://www.prsguitars.com/news/2011/01132011_prs_recording_amp_with_curly_maple_panels.html Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:00:00 EST Handmade in Stevensville, Maryland, PRS’s new 2 Channel “C” and 2 Channel “H” 50 watt amps feature two channels with independent master volume, treble, mid, bass, and gain controls with global reverb.

Both amps feature effects loops with adjustable send and return and are fixed bias. http://www.prsguitars.com/news/2011/01132011_prs_new_2_channel_50_watt_amps.html Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:00:00 EST PRS Guitars is proud to announce a new partnership with Van Damme Cabling, one of the world’s premier cable suppliers.
