Checking Out The New PRS David Grissom Amp!

[@johnlmcclure41]

Love hearing hot water music get brought up! Killer songs and the production of their last 3-4 albums has been phenomenal. They don’t get acknowledged enough imo! Great review btw.

[@shekador]

ok but did Paul say what kind of tonewood it's made of?

[@StupidGuitar]

It’s always crazy to me how this old man lives rent free in kids heads

[@shekador]

@@StupidGuitar 1st trigger pulled, who's next?

[@hughjanus5518]

​@@StupidGuitarRent free? It's literally a PRS amp. Don't use phrases you don't understand.

[@StupidGuitar]

@@shekador aw kid, it's ok to admit you're triggered

[@StupidGuitar]

@@hughjanus5518 aw poor triggered kid. The tonewood thing is irrelevant here. Own it.

[@Smart-Alex]

Looking more forward to your Boss Katana Gen 3 demo ;)

[@bthompson1229]

Nailed the hot water music-type sound! Love it!

[@chzzyg2698]

PRS amps have that thick growly Jerry Cantrell vibe that almost hits full metal but stops just short of it. Like getting hit with a wall of harsh rawk. I gotta get one someday.

[@timwhite5562]

I like the bypassable master volume. I haven't seen them in many amps, I know the Boogie transatlantic had/has them. Someone made an active master volume a few years ago. It was supposed to keep the tone from flubbing out at low volume. I can never remember who the company was, and haven't been able to. I just remember it was a company I attributed more to pedals.

[@simonpedersen4853]

What a lovely and balanced tone this has. Reminds me of my old Mesa Tremoverb dual rec. Great review Ryan as always. Cheers to you from London.

[@DavidEllis-rw1of]

I have one of the first PRS Sweet 16 amps, which has 6V6 tubes. Could you do a tone comparison of it vs the DGT amp? The Sweet 16 controls include preamp gain, treble, middle, bass, master volume, reverb and bright switch. I have the matching 2 x 12 cab with a special open back panel and Celestion V30 speakers. I sometimes swap in WGS green beret and ET65 speakers to tame an overly bright Strat a friend of mine plays.

[@cMaxwell_House]

Love it. Good Vid man. Thank You!!!

[@mu_draconis]

That thing sounds amazing.

[@tcaustin7]

Really thought we'd see the black PRS custom 22 for this one. Killer tune.

[@sheriffdohboy]

Sounds like an Orange amp gain wise…and that’s not a bad thing

[@PhilthyCasual]

5:30 could be a Marshall I’m not hearing Vox clone here.

[@adamp8765]

@@PhilthyCasual its a vox clone but with a negative feedback loop i think, hence the presence control

[@PhilthyCasual]

Perhaps it’s bc of the application here but this amp does not sound like a Vox clone, imho

[@joerobertson795]

Hard to tell much about the amp with the OD on...

[@tommilitello198]

Tells thousands of us guys all we need to know,I personally could care less about the cleans and half the subscribers feel the same

[@brandonanderson2066]

Would it take a rev pedal or a mesa rec pedal and pull off heavy tones if needed?

[@heavybrett-al4082]

I like it, even though it's not a metal amp, seems very versatile.

[@buck7477]

If you don’t use trem much you should listen to the David Grissoms Storyville album - A piece of your soul and you’ll know what to do with it.

[@wordsintowins]

It's like a PRS version of santana's first boogie amp

[@eddiejr540]

You my friend are a tone achiever…I can fiddle with an amp for days and never get it to sound good🫤

[@celestialode]

Not a fan of rock guitar sounds but damn that thing sounded amazing

[@jostonpowell1346]

Crazy how your views have went down over the years from a over a million to barely breaking 10k for some reason

[@frankenstein4106]

I'll stick with my HDRX 20. Didn't like the sound with the EL-84's.

[@83Mike17]

Sounds like snot!

[@devilslide01]

El84- your favorite HAHA

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Dude right

[@tommilitello198]

Top cut and a presence control seems doesn’t make any sense to me

[@PhilthyCasual]

If wood doesn’t matter then why do virtually identical Telecasters sound slightly different? An ash and an alder tele? Allegedly, not every 1959 Les Paul was a great guitar.

[@iancurrie8844]

Paul Reed Smith is a greasy salesman. I'm no longer interested in any of his snake oil.

[@vedder10]

Why because he won't sale the same guitar that's been sold since the 50's, scratch it up, and mark it up thousands of dollars just because it looks distressed? Or maybe reissue the same guitar every few years and just rename it the vintage II or American vintage. Or maybe he should be crucified because he cares so much about quality control that the company has garnered a reputation for consistency of quality amongst many in the business as well as distributors.

[@telefrk49]

oh no!! I'm sure Paul's crushed!!! probably put of business soon:(

[@yrmthr]

I'm not sure if 'snake oil' is an accurate term to describe PRS products

[@iancurrie8844]

@@yrmthr "Tone tuning keys". I rest my case.

First!

[@kiethlewis4657]

How to make an amp sound like dog shit. Watch you channel.

[@Fishplants]

Sounds crap, Buy the Yamaha thr instead and save cash

[@timbrackeen3508]

Wast of a good amp bro

[@user-to5mr7qu9p]

I'm not impressed. My Peavey mini 20 watt tube sounds better to me at 1/2 the cost. Paying for a name here.

[@martinlahaie6012]

Not impress at all...sorry feels cheapy

[@reverendg5937]

I was all into it until you said EL84. Sorry, not buying another version of EL84 Tube Power Section Amp. There are literally thousands of these amps. All with the EL84 power tubes. Question: How different can they really be? Metal, Blues, In between all use the EL84 power section. I own enough of these. Yawn, waiting for something new.

[@BTSrocker]

I think you're thinking about EL34s. EL84 is more vox style voicing

[@guilhermearaujo1781]

Tubes have no sound.

[@PhilthyCasual]

Devils advocate: How can you be sure that you are hearing the tube and not the circuit? When I compare an EL34 to an EL84, by necessity I’m comparing two amps w/different circuitry.
