    Mark is a killer guitar player, his solo album 'Spark and Echo' has some world-class playing on it. Articulation to die for!

    Best review I've heard in years in such a short space of time. 'Here's the tones without the BS'. Really fresh cleans and sensible drive. The Country players will love this.

  • @Kory_Landry
    @Kory_Landry 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Buying this amp solely for the clean channel, sounds so crisp and amazing

  • @frankyq3481
    @frankyq3481 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Just got mine! All I can say is the tone is killer. I totally recommend it! Great demo, it totally captures the amps tone. Mark is beast.

  • @BlinksAlienGuitar

    Mark is an incredible guy and player ! im curious what the signal chain is in these videos, are you guys doing any compression or eq'ing post preamp ?

    • @prsguitars
      @prsguitars  7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      In Mark's words (from an outtake), "that's all amp."

    • @twoshirts17

    @rodiebobwilliams1330 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very true Mark, to me the guitar as well should sound good clean along with the amp..Kind of amazed you doing it with a 20watt amp..Lol...Tight Wires!! To be fair i still use a Jc120 from the day..😉😁😀

  • @SandeepSingh-zc5sh
    @SandeepSingh-zc5sh 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    PRS truly do make some of the best guitars if not THE best these days. I bought a new American Professional HSS Strat the other day. I returned it today because my S2 Standard 22 sounds and plays sooooo much better. £899 versus £1399. Just proves money doesn't buy quality all the time...

    Does this amp do what the Fender deluxe reverb does in a modern form volume wise? I am looking for an amp that can do what it did but better. This has a great tone that I like.

  • @tacoconch7678
    @tacoconch7678 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Is that a high end PRS without a flame or quilt top? We need more of this!

  • @livingthattwelvelife2209
    @livingthattwelvelife2209 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Best amp reverb I have heard yet. "Doesn't get in the way" is the best way I could describe it. Just a little bit of extra "muchness". Really great amp.

  • @summerof6967

    Because "Sonzeira" is a expression we would use in Portuguese to say "Great Sound", or "Huge Sound".

    Took a chance and ordered this amp. Terrible volume control. Amp is too loud. I purchased the 20. Sounds like an 80w. Terribly disappointed.

  • @mikkeljulius7313
    @mikkeljulius7313 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone who has an idea of which pedal he uses during the "slide guitar thing" from 1:17? Is it a fuzz pedal or just an overdrive with a bass boost or something? I know the sound is in the fingers though. :-)

  • @saltpeter7429
    @saltpeter7429 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's kind of funny. I dont want to be playing a guitar and an amp by the same company, look like a silly fan boy. But... dang if PRS are not making the best guitars and amplifiers. I love this company, I want to work for them.

      Kameron Gard So like.. are you saying guitar/amp companies aren't allowed to self promote?
      Nothing that he said sounded false to me, that amp DID sound great! (Of course it sounds better with Mark than it would with me ;) )

      1:15 uncanny Jeff Beck initation

    • @Newnodrogbob
      @Newnodrogbob 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      TimothyPage06 I think his point was that he WASN’T pitching the guitar, or that he wasn’t doing a very good job. Usually you’d expect the pitch man to rattle off the model and specs of the guitar, if it’s made by the company that makes the gear he’s pitching.
      I could be wrong...

    @jacobbockover1628 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well i bought a prs sonzera 20 its a great sounding amp but a month in the pre amp seems to cut out if i turn it off for a while it works again but everybody would have to wait for it to wanna work again so im returning it. Maybe i got a lemon but i mean for the price there should be better quality control
