Pristine cleans to ultra-high-gain grind
Fans of the MT15 will be thrilled to hear that the MT100 comes equipped with high-wattage versions of the MT15’s Clean and Lead channels, allowing you to capture everything from pristine chime to high-gain chug. However, the MT100 is much more than a higher-wattage version of its 15-watt forebearer; the MT100 introduces a lively and dynamic overdrive channel to bridge the gap between Clean and Lead channels.
- Clean: While high-gain amplifiers can, at times, leave clean tones as an afterthought, PRS and Mark Tremonti designed the MT100 to be a veritable do-it-all amplifier head. Naturally, that includes a lush and dynamic clean section that can go head-to-head with any classic tube amplifier design. From crystal-clear cleans to just a hint of saturation, the MT100’s Clean channel perfectly counterbalances the ripping tone of the Overdrive and Lead channels.
- Overdrive: The MT100’s Overdrive channel is the result of nearly five years of research and development aimed at capturing the near-mythical tone of Mark’s favorite D-style amplifiers. And after putting the MT100 through its paces at Sweetwater, we can reveal that they’ve nailed it. This channel is perfect for players seeking a remarkably smooth and warm medium-gain tone, with nearly unmatched dynamics and an extraordinary harmonic depth.
- Lead: First made famous by the MT15, the Lead channel found on the MT100 delivers seriously brutal dirty tones, allowing you to tackle everything from Alter Bridge-style hard rock grind to the drop-tuned depths of modern metal — all while ensuring your tone remains clear, tight, and defined.
Per-channel EQ controls
Each of the MT100’s three channels sports its own dedicated set of controls, supplying an intuitive and straightforward tone-shaping workflow. All three channels come equipped with a versatile 3-band EQ, further bolstered by a Presence knob to impart a touch of high-end sheen to your tone. The Overdrive and Lead channels feature Gain and Master Volume controls to dial in your desired level of dirt, while the Clean channel opts for a more traditional Volume and Master Volume pairing. Put it all together, and the MT100 pairs superlative multichannel flexibility with an intuitive set of controls primed for stage-ready simplicity.
Tube-driven FX loop
From his hard-hitting riffs to his soaring solos, Mark Tremonti almost always tweaks his tone with just a touch of subtle delay to space out his sound. Fittingly, the MT100 boasts a top-of-the-line tube-driven FX loop to accommodate all manner of time-based and modulation effects without coloring your preamp tone. Whether you’re locking in your favorite reverb pedal or mirroring Mark’s always-on delay tone, the MT100’s tube-driven FX loop has you covered.
