How are you guys liking them? I'm really considering one if these over a new Marshall. I think prs nailed this one. Do you guys know if you can swap in el34s like the archons? I would think not, but just curious cuz that would be amazing.
Brother, if PRS makes a big boy version, 50 or a 100 Watt, I will buy that one too. It sounds so damn good; and the more than I play it, the more that I like it. Ever had a piece of gear that makes you feel like you're getting better at playing because of that gear? This is one of those pieces for me. It's that good.
I threw a 12au7 tube in V3, and a 12at7 in V4...... Holy CRAP! Made this Amp so so much more versatile. The gain at 9 o'clock is blues all day. 3 o'clock is full on metal. With everything in between.
16:50-17:14 - Whatever mic situation was happening here, more of it please. That is like the most authentic 'room' sound I've ever heard on any of your videos. It was an accurate representation of cab and ambient sound. Perfect!!!
@@rickeymitchell8303 Well greenbacks are different then V30s. So though the amp itself is great, once you pair it with a really well pair of celestion's and you'd be set for a while.
Amp sounds sick. My old band opened up for Alter Bridge back in like......2005 and Mark brought us up on his bus (equipped with a satellite dish, etc. lol) and chatted with us and he was just a really nice guy.
Nah. Once I found out I was having a daughter I gave up the touring life. Not trying to be away from home and miss that haha. That band I was in was sponsored by Jagermeister so we got to play some pretty cool shows. That show was Alter Bridge and Future Leaders Of The World and we also did a couple shows with Staind, Three Days Grace and Hurt and one with Slayer and I can't remember the other Jager ones. But yeah man, was good times. I don't mention this to come off as bragging or anything. Just appreciative. Really I just wanted to point out what a nice fella Mr. Tremonti was :)
IanVase Dude I saw you guys at Mayhem Fest in Texas! I bought y'alls CD after I watched ya'll play, glad to hear you're enjoying the family life man, hope life continues to treat you well!
This channel and all the folks that are a part of it inspire me to push myself to become the best guitar player I can be. I’ll have my own “Captain meets Kevin Yost” video, mark my words. Whether he’s 50 or 90 when it happens though is the part that worries me a bit xP
A million thumbs up guys!...the videos are getting better every time!....I have a mt 15 on preorder here in the states and I can't freaking wait to get it!!!!....... Gonna run it thru a 1960 4x12 and an orange 2x12 closed back.... Shld bring down the foundation on my house!!!!.... Cheers and God bless!... Love you guys
Btw the fact that it's an affordable lunchbox is all mark: he didn't want it anywhere above $700 which, if you're looking for the maximum tone per dollar ratio, automatically means that you're getting a tiny head
ser_Moist its called a receding hairline - either way he is still rocking his hair somehow. The magic of chappers to look good while going bald where he then becomes bob
Great vid, but then... is it too much to ask that when presenting an amp the reverb is less prominent? Not everyone likes the sound as wet. Felt a bit like a reverb demo inbetween until 22:22. I don't mind the delay, but reverb changes the sound IMO.
Saw a Latin band yesterday and the lead guitarist used this amp and accompanying cab, with a Suhr Tele - mostly clean, and on the edge of breakup, - he sounded righteous!
I was just telling my wife that this is the amp that I want but I probably should buy something like the Sonzera just to cover more bases... but I REALLY want this one since rock/metal tones are my absolute favorite.
neilomac I don’t believe in “one trick”. You can always tweak to do more one trick is one of those guitar words we all grow around that is basically bullshit. Work you knobs peeps. It’s all in the knobs
Open our eyes for the Intro??? You kiddin me?? 🙌🏻😃. Absolutely fabulous job Rob! These amps really cook. Really wish they were made in the states. I would gladly pay more for a US amp
This is probably the best value valve head in the world right now. It shreds! It’s like an EVH lunchbox head, but with a dedicated clean channel added on that also sounds amazing.
omg. crazy video. Big props to Chappers for flying on a plane, then getting up early to do this shit. Reminds me of my Bogner Uberschall pedal it's really just geared for those high intensity sounds, but if you coax it at the bottom of the dial it does get "A wee bit bluesy" and clean-ish.
Have had this amp for nearly a year now. Does metal great, but there’s absolutely no way to get a classic crunch out of it without pedals. I use an EQD Plumes on mode 2 with the vol/gain dimed thru the clean channel. It sounds badass.
Yea so got mine in the mail today and plucked into my marshall 1936 and got nothing more than a crunch. I thought that it would be fine without od pedal but seems like it wasnt.
Everybody hears differently,that’s exactly why you can’t trust any opinions on gear except your own,and you damn sure can’t trust anything you “hear” on you tube
Great review of a great sounding Amp. Congrats for Chapman and the Captain again, for this great video. Finally someone shows a video review of the MT15, with a Strat and a Tele, and not just with a PRS guitar, playing Tremonti type riffs, I really like Tremonti, of course, but this review really show the versatility of this great little amp.
Mark tremonti is the guy that made me go play guitar! I own the first tremonti SE with the us humbuckers. Currently no amps... played through a marshall jcm900 and a dual rectifier. God i mis the mesaboogie. Killer sound. Maybe the mt15 is a nice amp to start playing again. Or a new rectifier 🧐
For modern guitar player Prs mt-15 is the best I must say! More aggressive,clean tone,darker, dynamic vibes, crunchy,groovy & hooky..and many many more...!!! That's what killer mt-15 does🤘
Robert Lawson do you play it through the 1x12. In its it too loud for at home? I’m worried it will be too loud even at 7 watts. I’m fine with blasting out. Just not eat defining loud
Fout years later and I can attest to this comment. I have a USA 6505+ and it just doesn't punch my chest like this amp does. It does cut through with its huge mids, that's something a 5150/6505 can do. I had to boost the MT15 to tighten up the low end, it's so HUGE yet usable, unlike a dual recto which sounds like a undergained, garbled, undefined, fat mess 😂😂😂
I liked the PRS archon, but felt something was missing. I think they nailed it with this amp tho. It sounds killer. Amazing with that precision drive too.
Never had a tube amp before, but this one has everything im looking for. Killer clean, Killer lead, And by what i hear, it works really well with distortion or Boost pedals really well. Im going to pick this up along with a delay/reverb pedal. Im also going to pick up a Fortin Blade. And ill just use my Fortin Zuul+ to keep everything nice and quiet or cut the unnecessary noise.
Matt Reid im saying you might as well get a real rectifier instead of a mini rec. Used dual recs here: 900 eur, new mini: 1500 eur, used mini: idk, guessing 700-1000 depending on age etc.
@Matt Reid don't know what the market is like where you are, but this MT-15 is about $1000 CAD and used Mesa Dual Recs go for $900-$1000 CAD all the time here. Dual and Triple Recs are dirt cheap nowadays.
Well I bought the Amp a while back. The supplier accepted my MG 102 as a trade in so I was able to get the matching speaker cab effectively for nowt! The thing is killer! Always on the reduced setting and its still way loud enough for bedroom use. If I crank it its just excellent! My next purchase will be a full US PRS Tremonti. It'll take me a lonnnng time to save for that though! Oh, BTW the footswitch does come with the amp...
We know a guy... We'll put in a good word for the show.
When will they start shipping in the USA? I've got one on preorder. Thanks
Wuhuuuu!😀😀😀
Outstanding! I've got one on order; looking very much forward to this monster shipping!
How are you guys liking them? I'm really considering one if these over a new Marshall. I think prs nailed this one. Do you guys know if you can swap in el34s like the archons? I would think not, but just curious cuz that would be amazing.

Captain meets Mark Tremonti!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Magic word? :-)
PLEASE!? 🙏
PLEASE LEE? :D
P-P-P-P-P-P-P-PLEEEAAAASE !!!!
S'il-vous-plaîîîîît, por favor, per favore, bitte !!!
I threw a 12au7 tube in V3, and a 12at7 in V4...... Holy CRAP! Made this Amp so so much more versatile. The gain at 9 o'clock is blues all day. 3 o'clock is full on metal. With everything in between.
I don't care what anyone says, Creed has some solid riffs.
I'm with you dude. I think they get way too much flak than they deserve.
Not Marks fault but the jesus complex gave me the totes creeps...
because Tremonti is a beast. I like a couple of Creed's songs but Alter Bridge is pretty awesome. Show me a Leader was an awesome track
@@shadowproductions969 Check out his solo stuff. Amazing. It's called Tremonti.
Assuming you haven't heard it before.
mark urban indeed mate. Thanks to MT he’s a demon!
Time for a 6505MH vs MT15 vs EVH LBXII vs DSLR20 vs Dark Terror shoot out. Throw in a Tubemeister 20 for good measure.
YES PLEASE
It's time
Make it a blindfold and it is pure win
Yes make it happen! Although I’d like to see a Mesa mini rec in there even though Anderson’s doesn’t stock them :/
Randall RD20h
16:50-17:14 - Whatever mic situation was happening here, more of it please. That is like the most authentic 'room' sound I've ever heard on any of your videos. It was an accurate representation of cab and ambient sound. Perfect!!!
Jordan Roberts they also switched to the V30s which imo sound better.
It's that head man
@@rickeymitchell8303 Well greenbacks are different then V30s. So though the amp itself is great, once you pair it with a really well pair of celestion's and you'd be set for a while.
Rabea needed to be on this vid!
Well said. We could have had a good demo - instead of buckets of delay and lots of Chapman talking over Lee.
1 year later Mark Tremonti still hasn't done an appearance on Andertons tv. Heartbreaking but still such an amazing AMP. Love it to bits.
Amp sounds sick. My old band opened up for Alter Bridge back in like......2005 and Mark brought us up on his bus (equipped with a satellite dish, etc. lol) and chatted with us and he was just a really nice guy.
Lucky you to play for such a bieg audience as the one for Alter Bridge. It must have been a good experience. Do you still tour ?
Nah. Once I found out I was having a daughter I gave up the touring life. Not trying to be away from home and miss that haha. That band I was in was sponsored by Jagermeister so we got to play some pretty cool shows.

But yeah man, was good times. I don't mention this to come off as bragging or anything. Just appreciative. Really I just wanted to point out what a nice fella Mr. Tremonti was :)
IanVase damn what was your band called
Straight Line Stitch.
IanVase Dude I saw you guys at Mayhem Fest in Texas! I bought y'alls CD after I watched ya'll play, glad to hear you're enjoying the family life man, hope life continues to treat you well!
Not going to lie... thats probably the best high gain tone you guys have ever got on this channel, and I've been watching since the very beginning.
That bend at 14:40 tho
Josh Namba It was a thing of beauty!
i was like: HOLLY @#$?!
Didn’t notice because I was impressed by how Lee has improved his volleyball video by video.
I shit
I honestly dont know what happened there. Did he do a pinched harmonic on the way down?
It's crazy how much this actually sounds like Tremonti's tone
John Osborne well, he said he used a prototype for all the rhythm on the last alter bridge album
He also said he got the tone he wanted then asked the techs to just make that 12 on everything
I WONDER WHY
Not really that crazy. It is his amp.
It’s crazy how long people have been chasing those Dual Rectifier tones
This channel and all the folks that are a part of it inspire me to push myself to become the best guitar player I can be. I’ll have my own “Captain meets Kevin Yost” video, mark my words. Whether he’s 50 or 90 when it happens though is the part that worries me a bit xP
Captain meets Mark Tremonti!! For sure it'd be perfect with also Myles Kennedy ^^
A million thumbs up guys!...the videos are getting better every time!....I have a mt 15 on preorder here in the states and I can't freaking wait to get it!!!!....... Gonna run it thru a 1960 4x12 and an orange 2x12 closed back.... Shld bring down the foundation on my house!!!!.... Cheers and God bless!... Love you guys
YESSS IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR AGES
Btw the fact that it's an affordable lunchbox is all mark: he didn't want it anywhere above $700 which, if you're looking for the maximum tone per dollar ratio, automatically means that you're getting a tiny head
my favorite guitarist and this amp is awesome
i hate it when someone puts a tuner on a guitar its ugly and it leaves marks on the finish
His name would be Nigel
Mr Chappers rockin that fresh fade....
i like it
ser_Moist its called a receding hairline - either way he is still rocking his hair somehow. The magic of chappers to look good while going bald where he then becomes bob
The thing going on with his hair on the side and back of his head is literally called a fade. It's part of a haircut.
As a 40something year old man
Careful with your trend-following, kids (sheep)... it's a Hitler youth haircut.
Fishing, Gaming & Guitars is that a problem...?
Great vid, but then... is it too much to ask that when presenting an amp the reverb is less prominent? Not everyone likes the sound as wet. Felt a bit like a reverb demo inbetween until 22:22. I don't mind the delay, but reverb changes the sound IMO.
I won't even try to pretend I didn't sing along at the beginning.
Awesome tones.
The sound @ the 13 minute mark, was incredible !!!
"It's a YOU amp". Amen Captain.
Great sounding amp, and. . . . . . DAMN Rob that was some smokin hot playing my man!!!!! Well done
Saw a Latin band yesterday and the lead guitarist used this amp and accompanying cab, with a Suhr Tele - mostly clean, and on the edge of breakup, - he sounded righteous!
14:47 very inspiring..... the way Lee hits that ball.
You two are the Martin and Lewis of Guitar Reviews! Hilarious 😂
This is the best review video that you both have done. Great stuff.
Sometimes I forget that Rob can play this well... Dang man you really pair well with this one!
Can’t wait for the MT-50/100 with improved cleans and switchable power modes.
Played one this Saturday. The greatest amp head I have ever plugged into!
CaribSurfKing1 is it super hella loud, I want it with the 1x12 but I’m worried it will be too loud for home use
I'm amazed by Rob's playing and the editing is on point. Thank you for this video, really enjoyed it!
The whole demo is one of the best !!!
I first heard this at a Mark Holcomb clinic, it spits out so much gain. I couldnt believe the price when I searched it up at home. I want it so bad.
Kind of a one-trick pony, but it does that one trick REALLY really well. That filthy rock tone is immense.
I was just telling my wife that this is the amp that I want but I probably should buy something like the Sonzera just to cover more bases... but I REALLY want this one since rock/metal tones are my absolute favorite.
Alter Bridge play arge stadiums. My guess is a clean channel might just get drowned out when outdoors so everything needed to be boosted?
Sophia Bogard Mark uses Fender Twin Reverbs for his clean tone.
neilomac I don’t believe in “one trick”. You can always tweak to do more one trick is one of those guitar words we all grow around that is basically bullshit. Work you knobs peeps. It’s all in the knobs
I couldn’t agree more
Open our eyes for the Intro??? You kiddin me?? 🙌🏻😃. Absolutely fabulous job Rob! These amps really cook. Really wish they were made in the states. I would gladly pay more for a US amp
this thing would sound fantastic through my orange ppc212. That cab seems to bring out all of the best qualities of any amp I plug into it
This is probably the best value valve head in the world right now. It shreds! It’s like an EVH lunchbox head, but with a dedicated clean channel added on that also sounds amazing.
I want this amp sounds like a great smooth drive without the annoying high end fizz
love this amp...but what stood out the most is how much better the tube screamer sounds than the horizon...
Please make this happen! We need Tremonti in the andertons channel!
Chappers has it in the back of his head that Mark is watching.. He gave us the A game!! :) Great review guys!
I knew the gain was going to sound great, but god DAMN. Did not expect those cleans at all.
I have so much fun seeing your videos, you're great men!! Long life to Mr. Tremonster😎💪🏻
sounds tight even without a overdrive in front , i love it 😍
Can't wait to see the review of the new and improved MT15 and 100 soon! (whenever Mark decides it is done that is)
This amp is gold. Great job PRS and Mark Tremonti!
omg. crazy video. Big props to Chappers for flying on a plane, then getting up early to do this shit. Reminds me of my Bogner Uberschall pedal it's really just geared for those high intensity sounds, but if you coax it at the bottom of the dial it does get "A wee bit bluesy" and clean-ish.
I just bought one of these. I'm convinced with enough sit down time I can pull a good Blues tone out of it.
Did you do it yet? I’ve had mine since release and I ended up buying a Tumnus deluxe for less gainy stuff. Sweet combination.
Have had this amp for nearly a year now. Does metal great, but there’s absolutely no way to get a classic crunch out of it without pedals. I use an EQD Plumes on mode 2 with the vol/gain dimed thru the clean channel. It sounds badass.

That Alterbridge stuff sounded great through that rig.
I've waited soooo long for this one !!! :D Love that amp ... and Captain meets Mark Tremonti - I CAN NOT WAIT :D
The best sounding high-gain amp I have heard in a long time. Would love to hear this with Chapper’s PRS that he recently acquired 🤙🏻
Mr.Chapman, you are a fine guitarist. Just like I remember from years ago.
I love the Mark appreciation segment haha. Can't wait for the captain meets segment!
Mark tremonti is the guy that made me go play guitar! I own the first tremonti SE with the us humbuckers. Currently no amps... played through a marshall jcm900 and a dual rectifier. God i mis the mesaboogie. Killer sound. Maybe the mt15 is a nice amp to start playing again. Or a new rectifier 🧐
This rig sounds amazing! Especially with that Marshall 4x12. Very impressed!
Yesssssssssss, the opening was beautiful, good job guys
Just tried that same exact set up except I used an Esp EC-1000 and a guitar shop where I live and loved it !!!!
it comes with the footswitch! just got mine in the mail today. this thing shreds 👌🏻
that guitar and amp are a match made in Heaven.
Rob you forgot about Ian Thornley. He's a monster of a player with a heck of a voice as well
Big Wreck is even one of Rob's favourite bands
opened for big wreck around 1999, great bunch of guys..Ian is so under rated...gary i believe the other guitarist passed..
You guys are hysterical! Great Demo!!
Thank you for using his signature and playing alter bridge riffs!!!!!
For modern guitar player Prs mt-15 is the best I must say! More aggressive,clean tone,darker, dynamic vibes, crunchy,groovy & hooky..and many many more...!!! That's what killer mt-15 does🤘
Amp sounds great, but look at this beautiful guitar
Finally! All we need now is a Captain meets MT...
Mt15 best metal amp ive owned and played on. Clean is sexy and the gain punches your chest when you palm mute at low volume.
Robert Lawson do you play it through the 1x12. In its it too loud for at home? I’m worried it will be too loud even at 7 watts. I’m fine with blasting out. Just not eat defining loud
Fout years later and I can attest to this comment.

I had to boost the MT15 to tighten up the low end, it's so HUGE yet usable, unlike a dual recto which sounds like a undergained, garbled, undefined, fat mess 😂😂😂
The 80s are strong in that one. Love it.
purchased mine last week for you guys.........BEAUTY in clean .. BEAST in lead tone, highly recommended........
The first time I my life that I got goosebumps from the first tones of an amp! Awesome...
Not into high gain stuff but I have to say that is the best high gain amp ever wow
Not sure the clean channels up to much but what a awesome gain channel.
Capt meets Rick Graham WHEN?
I liked the PRS archon, but felt something was missing. I think they nailed it with this amp tho. It sounds killer. Amazing with that precision drive too.
You look like off brand mark tremonti
Never had a tube amp before, but this one has everything im looking for. Killer clean, Killer lead, And by what i hear, it works really well with distortion or Boost pedals really well. Im going to pick this up along with a delay/reverb pedal. Im also going to pick up a Fortin Blade. And ill just use my Fortin Zuul+ to keep everything nice and quiet or cut the unnecessary noise.
Much preferred the V30 over the greenbacks!
Excellent guys, thanks. Rory, you're man of the match.
love mark tremonti's playing also rob is totally fan girling
Can't wait for the Cap'n meets MT :)
holy shit, Lee is getting good. That was some tasty blues riffing
PILOT - JANUARY Is the song from 1975 ;)
Caloss2 Channel, yes and ironically they joke about a pilot later in the video!!
Love you Chappers and the Captain. Thanks for the amazing content!
Rob, you look like Jim Root, especially from profile view, haha :D Nice review btw, keep it up guys! Killer amp!
I was also born in 1975! Hair´s gone but still looking young AF!
all i gotta say is start at 14:41. you're welcome!
That amp sounds incredibly good!
39:12 That PRS diss was phenomenal, and I am on their side 🤣
What I really like is the Marshall cab with this MT15 head.
Great team, great editing.
MT15 vs 6505 MH vs Orange Jim Root Terror vs 5150 LBX shootout please
You guys are so entertaining. You have no idea.
I want it! I want it! I want it...!!! I'm gonna have to break the bad news to my "WIFE", she doesn't recover that well from open purse surgery! @%#!&
She has to buy it for you? Or you carry a purse? Not sure which is worse. Unless your a chick. My bad
Paul Digga his UA-cam name is Charlie soooo
the amp really is that good, i just ordered mine and im fukn picky. huge high gain sounds and a pure clean. fantastic amp
Damn, I forgot how good Rob is…..this man rips!
Gain channel is nice but the clean channel is really strident and bright sounding.
I heard the tone on the intro. That was enough, this amp is great.
Perfect blues amp!
Why pay almost three times the price for Mesa mini rec if you can get this :D
That and the mini rec really does sound like shit...I think Chappers even has a video of it from way back when
Szymon Szymanski cause the mesa kicks ass and this doesnt. What i dont get is why people get minis and not dual/triple recs.
Matt Reid Dual recs have been dirt cheap since artists moved on to other stuff. My peavey was cheap too.
Matt Reid im saying you might as well get a real rectifier instead of a mini rec. Used dual recs here: 900 eur, new mini: 1500 eur, used mini: idk, guessing 700-1000 depending on age etc.
@Matt Reid don't know what the market is like where you are, but this MT-15 is about $1000 CAD and used Mesa Dual Recs go for $900-$1000 CAD all the time here. Dual and Triple Recs are dirt cheap nowadays.
Well I bought the Amp a while back. The supplier accepted my MG 102 as a trade in so I was able to get the matching speaker cab effectively for nowt!
The thing is killer! Always on the reduced setting and its still way loud enough for bedroom use. If I crank it its just excellent! My next purchase will be a full US PRS Tremonti. It'll take me a lonnnng time to save for that though!
Oh, BTW the footswitch does come with the amp...
Put a volume pedal in loop, control the volume easy
14:47 hahaha! Great review!
Bought one today for $300 USD. So excited
I’ll be your pilot Rob, our call sign will be “Ghost Fret 1”
