Get a Marshall VS100. I noticed fluff was using a tube screamer with the mt100. To me, these modern amps have too much fuzziness in their gain circuits. Dial back the gain and you’re left with a need for a tube screamer. 🤷🏻♂️ Just my thoughts.
Its really not a simple amp. Its three independent amp circuits that only share a pair of 12ax7 in the preamp. But i agree a simple setup is nice sometime. Like the old days where you roll guitar volume back to clean up, full volume for rhythm, and perhaps a tube screamer and eq for leads.
I agree. I like simplicity. I’ve never gotten real big into plugins and all of the extras. I just want a straight amp I can turn on and dial in right there on the face of it
Tremonti is super no nonsense and very particular. He doesn’t even use wireless because he feels it could potentially screw with his signal. Also had never tried most pickups. One and done kinda guy!
i have seen an interview of him while he was using a prototype and he said that he want to keep it some kind of affordable under 2K that more of his fans are able to enjoy this amp and i think 1899€ is a decent price and this also explains the simplicity of its design. what a nice guy! cheers 🎸🎸
He’s an awesome dude! I have an evh el34 which absolutely slays on the dirty channel. The clean channel isn’t really clean so I’m excited about trying this amp out.
I love my MT 15 . The first Chanel and the clean Chanel I liked the middle Chanel I hated. For me I could care less about the midi and amp sim. Just a good old fashioned amp is what I like. Great review thanks Fluff.
Definitely nice to have so many amplifier options outside of the AI stuff. I've always been an amp guy so it's cool seeing how much we have available compared to the late 90s early 00s.
I'm a huge Mark Tremonti fan and I have his MT15 and can't wait to get the MT 100. I'm going to use it with my 2x12 Orange OB Cabinet with 2 DV-77 Speakers and also on my 4x12 Peavy Cabinet with 2 Eminence DV-77 & 2 Omega VM-1265 Speakers! It's going to sound brutal!!
To be fair, your Friedman probably has more bells and whistles and (most importantly) it's hand built in the USA. This amp will sound awesome much made overseas.
@@Walkerbjj I think thats the wrong mentality to have. Yes cheap low quality products are mostly made over seas, but that does not mean quality, well designed items with good components cant be made there either. It all depends on the company and passion of the workers. I think PRS' new SE's are the perfect example of that as they, for me at least, hold up against my core Maryland made models and made by a factory of proud employees. I mean to my ears I prefer this to a US made Dual Rectifier tone wise.
@@th3m1ke I agree with you. I meant that in terms of costs to produce here in the states vs. overseas. You couldn’t make that mt1000 here for anywhere close to that price. I lived in Brazil for 5 years and had some of the best custom built guitars made for me I’ve ever played for a FRACTION of the cost to have one built here in the United States.
@@th3m1ke Also, PRS has their hands on those SE models before they go out to buyers. Strandberg guitars are made overseas and they are very high quality. Some overseas guitars made in the same country are trash. So yes it depends heavily on the company and their quality control. The mt15 sounds good and I’m sure the 100 will as well. But it couldn’t be made/sold anywhere close to 2k in the US

@kevindie exactly. Option paralysis.... but its more than that. I explained it already on a different comment on a different video, but with smaller local venues and amatuer bands floor unit/rack modelers that go direct really lack the stage volume / ability to cut through a live mix with acoustic drums and bass amplifiers, etc. Theres no stage volume. But these guys always have in ears and they get tremendously duped into thinking theyre loud and clear in the mix when in actuality the only people that can hear them is themselves and the sound guy at the back of the venue meanwhile up by the stage its silent by the guitar and its getting blasted out by acoustic drums. Ive seen it time and time again. The best alternative ive seen to this is the Katana as its form factor is still a regular amp.
@@resistorstudios *_100% this. I’ve even experienced this with bigger bands at bigger venues. Bush comes to mind. I saw them at an amphitheater, close to middle, about 1/4 away back, and the mix sounded PERFECT, but it was pretty quiet and there was absolutely no UMPH. It sounded like I was listening to the concert through a mid-range Bluetooth speaker. That concert is what made me start rethinking the direction guitar amplification is going._*
Pretty sure this amp will do well. I definitely love the clean sounds. I usually start there. High gain does sound gnarly and probably blows the roof off. Gotta get my hands on one and test it out. Good video fluff
I must say you are the best explainer and the best person to present this amp it’s a monster amp for a monster player like you sir always a pleasure to listen to your explanation of stuff
Finally! Been wanting to pull the trigger on an MT15 for so long now but was holding out for the release of a 100 watt version. Can't wait to try this in person
Fluff, I've posted some negative comments on your reviews in the past (because I used to love your videos and then...) but this video was much better. You didn't try and just do an infomercial and avoid the negative aspects in order to please the supplier and maintain your relationship, you told us what you thought about the amp and it's drawbacks - thank you. I am looking forward to your other videos in the future.
Cant wait to download some nice captures of this for my tonex! Massive Tremonti fan, just dig his riffs from all his bands. Went to get a MT15 new and ended up with a Boogie Mark 5 25w from marketplace instead. One day it would be nice to have the real thing in my collection
I actually stopped gigging my USA 6505+ last year and started gigging my MT15. Ive got severe back problems and with the road case the 6505 was killing my body to move. I hook a very old MXR 6-band to the loop and go. The thing is a pure metal machine with a useable clean channel. I've gotta get my hands on a MT100
Cool sounding lead chan for sure. Yeah what's up with the tone knobs on the rhythm channel lol? I heard no difference. Nice job keeping it under $2K like Mark said he would. I respect that! 🤘🤘🤘
Mark isn't into digital stuff and loves good old fashioned tube sounds. So far this amp sounds great and i'm glad they priced at $1800 / £1600. With some saving i might be able to afford it in a few years, although it does remind me of the Archon which arguably seems more versatile.
I think the only thing I'm "concerned" with is that overdrive 2nd channel, but it sounded really nice once the pickup was switched. So it might just be picky. Glad to see this finally, and a great demo!
Watch the video with Tremonti demoeing it by himself. The overdrivhannel tones he gets are among the best I've ever heard, absolutely thick, full and resonant!!!
Have you heard anything from @prsguitars about them making a proper 4x12 for this amp? Looks like the only 4x12 they offer is a vintage-style Hendrix model.
He wanted exactly what the middle channel provides…to sound like a Dumble. This amp replaces three amps he’d have on stage in concert. Now just one that he switches with the included lighted foot switch that leaves no confusion to what amp is active. If its good enough for Tremonti to use, then probably good enough for most anyone looking for a concert quality amp!
Love the clean tone on this and the MT50, the gain structure on the other channels is horrible, just my opinion of course. Not worth getting either just for the clean tone though haha!
They should have came out with a model inbetween this one, like a 25, 35, or 50 watt version. To go from 15 watts to 100 is a pretty big leap, when most people don't need a 100 watt amp these days.
The 15w has been tested to actually be a 25 watt output amplifier. It’s just called a 15 for marketing probably. The half power is also 12 instead of 7 watts. I don’t remember the channel name of the man who tested it, but those were his findings, gained in a pretty scientific manner.
I just wish for how expensive it was, those modern features were available. If all I want is a 3 channel amp that does it all, I could pick up a used Mark series...
Did you get a chance to compare the mt100 to your rev f rec before you sent it back? Mark's said his favorite mesa is the rev f he has so im wondering if the 3rd channel comes close to to the rev f. I had one for 15 years and have regretted letting it go foe a roadster. My bogner uberschall rev blue is the only thing thats come close but still not the rev f. Was hoping the badlander would be close but only the tone is close but not enough gain or bottom end at all. Unfortunately Birmingham Alabama music stores never get the new stuff. So now I'm hoping the mt100 will do the rev f justice. Anyway awsome demo. GOD bless and be cool
I find that the eq on the MT 15 is also like you describe. very light or lacking range. The MT 15 benefits from a 10 band eq and I suspect the same for the 100
ok awesome, glad to hear that. I know the MT15 packs a punch but am surprised there isn't a resonance knob on the 100 this time to have a little more control of different low end frequencies. @@RiffsAndBeards
Would have to decline: was concerned right off the bat with the eq then they're very minimal. Seems way too middy in the overdrive channel and lack of bass on clean but hey, i'm also not in the room. I feel better about the Engl Founder's edition...
Hey @Fluff, did you find any background noise when the amp was turned on like the MT15? If so can you clean it up with a noise gate pedal or something else in your experience?
The voicing (as in where the eq is focussed) sounds killer but it doesn't seem huge and monstrous and the gain type sounds like it's lost in between a dry tone and a saturated tone. It sounds scratchy and confused and most of all just lacks balls and monstrosity but could be there is a lot going on could be the settings and way it was recorded...
I've honestly felt that same way about the 15. I've never personally like the 15 it just sounds too scratchy. This isn't fixing it for me either. To each their own, this just isn't it for me.
I was debating whether or not to wait to save up and buy a Rev F rectifier or get mt100. I like my mt15 but it’s not getting the tones I want. So, Fluff - how does mt100 compare to rev f, or just rectifiers in general? Help 😂
Do you think you could maybe maybe please put some text on the screen for which pickup selection you’re on/when (if?) the OD is on? My brain hurts and my gear nerdery is insatiable. Damn that lead channel is Nasty with your pickup. NASTY, I say!
I am scared of this amp when I think about how fucking loud (and noisy) my MT15 is. That being said its not my thing anyway. I am barely playing my MT15 because as Fluff said its "not too tight" just like the new one. But I like my sounds very tight so I stopped using the MT15
I think the problem there is you start adding these things and it adds to the cost so trying to keep out anything unless it's absolutely necessary makes sense and then if you want to you can just buy your own separate attenuator. I totally understand where you're coming from though I got it this thing is probably loud as anything
The price is really nice.....too bad you can't knock the wattage down to at least 50 watts.....not many can really use 100 watts...and with all tube amps, it's best to open up the volume to get the power tubes involved in the sound....in other words, LOUD!!!!
@@StompboxMods I had sent mine back to PRS as a warranty repair. They sent it back all fixed up and it still had the same problem. It didn’t matter if I just connected a patch cable between the send and return or if I put a full rack system in it’s place, it hummed, and it was a common problem for many people with the MT15. Ultimately a great sounding amp, but one with a weird flaw.
I had the same issue. The store where I bought mine exchanged it 3x and all of them had this issue. I was never able to have a 100% clean tone with a delay/reverb on the effects loop on the Clean channel. I gave up and got a Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister Deluxe 40. I hope they have worked on this on the MT100. I know that there are methods to fix this here and there but I’m sorry, any new product shouldn’t have this type of issue.
Awesome amp as well as the MT15 was but.........I see many issues with a ground hum in the MT15 amps and if Im gonna buy a 100 watt $2-3K head, thats not a risk Im willing to take.
I think that was mostly related to the small box it is designed in and thus you get some hum because of poor design. This new 100 watt has seems to be wider and larger so I hope they designed it better and there is no hum. I would be surprised if it had the same flaws as it is a completely new design in terms of layout (not sound wise)
I wanted to be blown away by this amp. I was looking forward to it since I got the MT15. It’s pretty underwhelming from what I’ve seen so far. The lead channel is cool but the clean and overdrive channel sound generic. I’ll have to play one in person but I might pass on this one. The price is great but the absence of any modern tech is a bit of a zonk. Guess you can’t ask for much more than this at $1900!
Is it just me or is the amp breaking up in a weird way? Could just be the recording, but even on the clean channel, digging in a bit more introduces this clipping/sizzle on top.
I actually appreciate the simple amp approach. Sometimes you just need a fire-breather that moves some air.
Get a Marshall VS100. I noticed fluff was using a tube screamer with the mt100.
To me, these modern amps have too much fuzziness in their gain circuits. Dial back the gain and you’re left with a need for a tube screamer. 🤷🏻♂️

@charlesjebarb2863 just get a noise gate lol, these new amps put old ones to shame especially with the amount of gain these new ones have.
I agree. I like simplicity. I’ve never gotten real big into plugins and all of the extras. I just want a straight amp I can turn on and dial in right there on the face of it
I like the no tech approach to this amp, it won't be outdated by advances in DSP, It's just a straight forward analog tube amp.
I agree so much with this. An endgame amp should be a 50 year purchase.
Tremonti is super no nonsense and very particular. He doesn’t even use wireless because he feels it could potentially screw with his signal. Also had never tried most pickups. One and done kinda guy!
This is pretty much the philosophy behind almost every tube amp.
@@xDarthWonkax The pickup thing is a shame because hand wound pickups are much better than machine wound in my opinion.

That and presence for each channel.
It's apparent simplicity is amazing. Very straight forward.

It's about damn time this came out. MT15 is still my go to amp.
This is the gold standard for my tastes. Simple, powerful, straight to the point. No needlessly complicated stuff. Just chugs

~$1900 for a 100w modern head is a great price! I just paid $4k for a Friedman head so in comparison this seems like a great price!

@@StuPedassol yep that's what I was trying to say 😁
Does anyone know if PRS is going to release a matching speaker cabinet for the MT 100?
Was looking forward to this. Sadly Too many 🐝 inside
Does the foot switch have on and off for fx loop?
Apparently, the loop is NOT foot switchable. It's an always on loop.
@@BazonBlades okay thanks for the response I appreciate it .
throw a quad cortex capture up for your boy!
The price is really nice.....too bad you can't knock the wattage down to at least 50 watts.....not many can really use 100 watts...and with all tube amps, it's best to open up the volume to get the power tubes involved in the sound....in other words, LOUD!!!!
My question is more around the FX loop. The MT15 has a 60Hz hum when engaging the FX loop. How’s this one?
Didn’t hear any hum in this loop
@@RiffsAndBeards That’s fantastic, thanks!
You can fix the hum in the effects loop of the MT-15 by adding shielded cabling. Takes 10 mins to do.
@@StompboxMods I had sent mine back to PRS as a warranty repair. They sent it back all fixed up and it still had the same problem. It didn’t matter if I just connected a patch cable between the send and return or if I put a full rack system in it’s place, it hummed, and it was a common problem for many people with the MT15. Ultimately a great sounding amp, but one with a weird flaw.
I had the same issue. The store where I bought mine exchanged it 3x and all of them had this issue. I was never able to have a 100% clean tone with a delay/reverb on the effects loop on the Clean channel. I gave up and got a Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister Deluxe 40. I hope they have worked on this on the MT100. I know that there are methods to fix this here and there but I’m sorry, any new product shouldn’t have this type of issue.
Show amplifier tremont ..e. Etc🔥🔥🔥🔥⚔️
What’s your main thoughts of the MT-100 vs a Mesa Dual/ triple Rectifier?
Its like that with bognor uberschall midrange. He said exactly that in the video
Awesome amp as well as the MT15 was but.........I see many issues with a ground hum in the MT15 amps and if Im gonna buy a 100 watt $2-3K head, thats not a risk Im willing to take.
I think that was mostly related to the small box it is designed in and thus you get some hum because of poor design. This new 100 watt has seems to be wider and larger so I hope they designed it better and there is no hum.
I would be surprised if it had the same flaws as it is a completely new design in terms of layout (not sound wise)
@@vanespedals1023 it it a great little amp, I’m sure they did.
Why only 5 gain stages at the lead channel?
Will there be a 50watt?
Lemme get that Soldano back there
Anyone know what brand of 6L6's? Tubes are the most important ingredient, and I'm curious which ones PRS picked?
Tube Amp Doctor
Where is made? Is it hand wired?
where are they built???
Liked before watching. The usuallll
I wanted to be blown away by this amp. I was looking forward to it since I got the MT15. It’s pretty underwhelming from what I’ve seen so far. The lead channel is cool but the clean and overdrive channel sound generic. I’ll have to play one in person but I might pass on this one. The price is great but the absence of any modern tech is a bit of a zonk. Guess you can’t ask for much more than this at $1900!
AM EXCITE.
Made in Indonesia very interesting
Is it just me or is the amp breaking up in a weird way? Could just be the recording, but even on the clean channel, digging in a bit more introduces this clipping/sizzle on top.
There’s someone wrong in the audio. I can hear it when Fluff is talking in the intro. His voice sounds scratchy.
channel 1 & 2 are just bland to my ears- but my God channel 3 is just heavenly- that alone is a top selling point
Crunch channel sounds really weak an thin the video Mark did with Premier guitar. almost like there's something up with a preamp tube or the eq driver
.......that is how it sounds haha
