    Sounds great, Reminds me of my Victory V40, but then with some different spins of the tonal options - and can maybe go higher gain? But similar smooth, Fender-like, and yeah warmer and maybe more clean headroom. V40 has the mid control too, but no bright. I like the way the V40 can go 1/4 power, and single-ended too. The PRS DGT 15 is maybe a bit more fitted out and roadworth compared to the small metal lunchbox standard V40. I guess it's not going to be as loud. But then, over in the USA, I'd imagine the V40 could cost more - and it's digital reverb too - doesn't have tremelo though.

    I’m not a fan of PRS guitars, but the “30” amp they came out with some years back was a very good version of the Vox sound, and this one seems to be great as well with just about as perfect a set of features imaginable (outside of an fix loop). And not outrageously expensive.

    What are your thoughts on this compared to the HDRX20? Sounds quite a bit like it to me, but with several more features (which make sense with the added features). Do you think they are similar tonally or a bit different? Maybe the HDRX was a bit more Marshall clean sound than this DGT being a bit more fender flavored?

    Since it's a tube amp. I would like to know the build. I would like to see the actual amplifier. I think on volume this amp will start to sound more like a mini dumble. So I would ask you to revisit the amp after you have played a gig with it.
    I bet it has nice thick circuit boards that will make it easily serviceable and give it a quality modern road amps need.

    This seems to be a very versatile amp for sure and it sounds great. I've been gas'ing over getting the MT15 from PRS, but they have been on backorder for a while. The MT15 has received a ton of high praises , and no doubt this one will as well. Just not 100% sure I'm willing to spend an extra $400 for the DGT over the Mark Tremonti MT15. The DGT does have more features though.

    • @StompboxMods
      @StompboxMods 4 місяці тому +1

      MT-15 has a different gain structure than the DGT. The DGT has a more Marshally British overdrive tone, whereas the MT-15 has a tone that sounds more in the American voiced/Soldano SLO range especially when you crank the mids, and keep the gain lower. MT-15 has a more scooped clean tone, whereas this DGT isn’t as scooped in the low mids. Both amps have that American voiced clean tone, but the DGT has the ability to overdrive the cleans a lot more than the MT-15. The MT-15 being 6l6 based it might have a little more volume and low end to it as opposed to the DGT using EL-84s they produce more forward midrange, a little less bass response and volume power. I love the built in tube reverb and tube bias tremolo on the DGT! Overall, It’s a killer amp! When making your choice on the amp just think about what kind of gain structure are you more after. The Fender/Marshally classic rock side, or the Fender/Soldano-Mesa rectifier heavy rock/metal side.
      As an owner of the MT-15 you can get classic rock tones out of it if you Eq it right but the DGT really hones in on the classic rock British overdrive tones. I’d love to blend it with the DGT in a mix! Get all the classic rock and modern sounds in one! Good luck!

    • @Russell_Optics
      @Russell_Optics 4 місяці тому +1

      @@StompboxMods Thank you for the info. I prefer the 6L6/5881 over the EL84 sound for cleans anyway. The tube reverb is a great bonus as well as a few other switching options, but I think the MT15 with the Fender/Mig50 power tubes fits my preferences a bit better. Again, thanks for the input.

    • @DavidEllis-rw1of
      @DavidEllis-rw1of 3 місяці тому +4

      I believe it has to do with what Grissom mainly played through. The back line amps in many American clubs are Fender amps, which lack an effects loop. I’ve seen Grissom playing through Super Reverbs in Austin clubs before he got his signature amp. His pedals tend to be boost/overdrive and delay, which you’d run through the input, so he doesn’t need an effects loop. Texas blues guitarists seem to prefer a Super Reverb or Vibro King. Guitarists who used vintage amps didn’t have an effects loop, so they ran all effects through the input. Many older studio musicians, especially in Nashville don’t use effects loops. In keeping with Grissom’s style and to keep the amp cost down, it makes sense to omit the added expense of an effects loop.

    My favorite amp that you've demonstrated clean was the Orange Crush Pro 120. You also had something else that was just as good but I can't recall which it was. This one is just meh. It doesn't sound special. I'd rather buy the Orange Crush Pro 120 for $499 and buy some super duper pedal to get the awesome tube drive sound. That would save a fortune and probably never need maintenance.

It’s the same as someone saying they never heard of Brent Mason. Just because some people never heard of him doesn’t mean he isn’t a great guitarist and can create a great product.
