PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Hendrix precision controls Paul Reed Smith and his head amp engineer Doug Sewell have been raking through an endless supply of vintage components and even managed to study one of Hendrixs own amplifiers. The result is period correct configurations but with modern sensibilities. Simply alter your pick attack on the HDRX 50 and be amazed by the liquid transition from clean resonance to a distorted bite harking back to the amps of old. Achieve a vast array of sounds by experimenting with the three band EQ. Charge serious levels of gain without the vintage hassle of having to jumper each channel. Searing distorted waves mixes with light blues fuzz all the twisting of a few dials and the HDRX 50 delivers this with crystal clear precision. Voodoo child vibe Vintage tube amps typically worked best at higher volumes however the latest engineering from PRS ensures you can still get this tonal detail at the lower end offering more flexibility with this fabulous amp head. This is particularly relevant for the three position "bright" switch that lets you emulate Hendrixs modified Woodstock amp however he would be blasting that amplifier at full volume - so PRS have made this exquisite voicing usable at more palatable noise levels! Nothing compares to tube sounds It wouldnt be genuine to the 60s without the timeless tunes of tube construction. Three JJ ECC803S preamp tubes pair with two best in class EL34EH power tubes to drive home that tube compression and that authentic sonic signature only heard in valve amps. Outstanding PRS build quality Paul Reed Smith is a guitar icon and musical artisan. Everything that comes out under the PRS brand is formed to exacting standards and the HDRX 50 is a shining example of that. With sturdy USA construction and black tolex covering its going to endure countless performances while also looking fantastic.
