Review Demo - PRS MT15 Mark Tremonti Signature Amp

Read the review: http://bit.ly/PRS-MT15 Mark Tremonti has used and endorsed PRS’s USA-made Core and Asia-built SE guitars for years. Now he’s exploring the other half of his sound with PRS via the new MT15 Mark Tremonti Signature Amplifier and 1x12 speaker cabinet.

However, his favorite tube is the 6V6’s big brother, the 6L6, and we realized that we couldn’t get a tone he was happy with without using those. Continue reading: http://bit.ly/PRS-MT15
