15/7 Watts (switchable) | 2 channels 6L6 | Power tubes
The MT 15 is a two-channel control amp with balanced aggression and articulation. Powered by 6L6 tubes, the MT 15 has a big, bold sound, allowing you to dive into heavy rhythms but also get singing head sounds from a single amp. Whether recording, practicing, writing, or performing in a small room, this amp has it all.
The MT 15 was designed for heavier musicians, but ultimately it has a lot to offer musicians of all genres. Like the PRS Archon amplifier, the MT 15 has five gain stages before the Master for full, lush distortion. The gain channel achieves a big, massive sound with massive, tight bass, but it never loses its articulate note definition or superb top end sound. The clean channel is bright and quixotic, well suited for chords and finger playing, whether with or without a pick. It also has a push/pull boost control that adds a little overhead for old-school gaming. No matter what tone you dial in, the MT 15 remains balanced across the spectrum with a sweet, smooth tone that won't blow your mind.
Other features include an effects loop and bias adjustments accessible from the rear panel for easy maintenance. Despite its 15 watts, the MT 15 sounds more like a 50, so a half-power switch that takes the MT to 7 watts is a welcome addition. In summary, the amount of features, breadth of sound, and raw power of the circuitry make the MT 15 an impressive lunchbox hero.
The MT 15 is the first amplifier signed by Mark Tremonti.
