The Texan tone tacitian works with Paul Reed Smith & Doug Sewell to create a versatile amp that echoes the past, includes boost, reverb and tremolo and slips in some clever circuit options for maximum sounds.
“Working with David is very rewarding. His technical knowledge and vast musical experience push us to make guitars, and now amps, that players simply love to play,” said Jack Higginbotham, PRS Guitars COO. “Having brought his signature guitar to the SE Series last year proved yet again that we can deliver professional-level gear at a more affordable price. To recreate that access with this amplifier has been a pleasure. Hats off to Doug Sewell (PRS Amp Designer) and David on this incredible piece of gear.”
Designed to rival Grissom’s favorite vintage amps, the PRS DGT 15 is rich with character. With all the magic of smaller-wattage vintage tube amps, it is fully applicable in a modern setting thanks to its extensive highly-functional tone-sculpting controls. Starting with a 3-band TMB tone stack, the DGT 15 also includes a 3-position bright switch, boost, reverb, top cut, and presence front-panel controls. The bright switch can be set to on, off, or on except when the boost is engaged - so you can intricately manipulate the amp’s high-end. The Master Volume can be set to be on, off, or on only with the Boost. The tremolo circuit oscillates the power tube bias (old-school) and features speed and depth front panel controls to dial in to the exact preference.
“When it comes to the tone and features, we did most of the heavy lifting more than a decade ago with the DG Custom 30. I‘ve really got to give it to Doug Sewell and PRS for how thoughtfully the DGT 15 was designed. Doug was verymeticulous and creative with updating some of the features while remaining true to the DNA of the Custom 30. From the first time I played through it, I was blown away,” said David Grissom
The PRS DGT 15 comes with a three-button footswitch, controlling boost, reverb, and tremolo. There is also a matching blonde/salt and pepper 1x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The 1x12 cab features a ported back for expressive tone that never sounds boxy.

[@TrevorrNourse]

John, just makes everything he touches sound pleasing. PRS really brought the tone with this amp.

[@peteyoung7665]

Yes.But i think it would have been more"pleasing"if he would have played the intro solo in the right key.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

John sure knows how to demo an amp. Awesome job!

[@rowbags3017]

I'd love to see a DGT 15 Combo. That would be just about my dream rig for the small venues I play. I love John's road-worn DGT - it's great to see a PRS bearing the scars of heavy use. 😎

[@Robstafarian]

It would have to be a lot lighter than the Sonzera 20 combo, which seems to have been engineered for maximum weight.

[@rowbags3017]

@@Robstafarian Wow - you're not wrong! I use a Laney Cub-Super 12 15w combo and was imagining a similar weight, but I just checked the specs of the Sonzera 20 and it's nearly twice as heavy! 😲

[@paulcollinsmusic]

This is a great video. Thanks for the info and advice. Really useful.

[@TheFrozenDesert]

I just saw Mr. Grissom play a pair of these last night; both were mic'd. I don't think the boost was ever not engaged. The tone was fantastic.

[@DMSProduktions]

Mic'd?

[@MarkStearle]

I like the sound of this amp.

[@sheercerebralpower]

I have and love the HDRX 20….now I will get this one…..a DGT is my main axe too in any case…..😊

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

Same for me have the hdrx and love it and plan for this with a radial pedal that allows two head with my vintage çab and an oxbox - should cover the bases and create a couple channels for me !

[@misterknightowlandco]

To everyone who complains about low wattage amps having too small of a cab… here you go!

[@marki7661]

Haha yeah, This is why when I’m not playing at home, depending on who the drummer is, I’ll unplug my 63 Princeton speakers and put it through my twin reverb’s V30s. Not quite the magic of the 10 alnico I have in the Princeton but still much better than the Twin. One day I’ll get a 1x12 or 2x10, probably both lol, and try out some different combinations

[@Robstafarian]

I think the more common complaint is that Fender refuses to sell a full line of heads as regular production.

[@papa_pt]

Blackstar studio 10 have 12" 😉

[@misterknightowlandco]

@@Robstafarian if fender turned their Princeton amp into a lunchbox head with the Tremelo and reverb… they’d never sell another amp again. 😂

[@christopherprice3226]

Giving me the itch for a new amp after 7 years, I own 4. Prs Archon, Fender Bassman,Mesa Rectifier and a Friedman BE. Dang John you are a amp dealer and a marriage wrecker .

[@carsgunsandguitars]

Awesome amp, I'd like to play it and the HDRX side by side

[@jaymelynnmcintyre8574]

I use my box mini super Beatle 25 watt no mic at small clubs that kicks ass! ( Wondering if this would as well)

[@Scott__C]

Always dig when John tosses some slide in a demo.

[@jaymelynnmcintyre8574]

Just wondering if I could do an open mic at a small club with just this? ( Not with a mic on it?)

[@jesseherod9316]

Holy crap I didn’t know Billy Bob Thornton played the guitar!

[@tom.m]

Having John demo amps almost feels like cheating. You know they'll sound good! Not that PRS amps usually need any help in that regard.

[@BKDocHoliday]

Dude that Junior Brown poster jumped out at me. That is someone I would love to see you guys talk to.

[@nekkon1989]

Why get a handwired amp when a PCB mounted one sounds that good?

[@j.jester7821]

Status.

[@ardiris2715]

Now drag it to a gig. (:

[@Joe-mz6dc]

You younger generation guitar players have become soft. There I said it. Because it's true.

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

@@Joe-mz6dcyep spent a bulk of my youth dragging my half stack to gigs and cross country tours .. didn’t even know or think or have alternative then 😄

[@onenotesolo256]

I bought a handcart. Folds flat - even the wheels. Will carry a cab, head, pedalboard. Actually, a 2x12 and 2 heads (15W and 18W) for a wet dry rig. Won’t work for everyone, but was a game changer for me. This PRS looks and sounds good.

[@ardiris2715]

@@Joe-mz6dc I am 65. I want to hear it played in gig conditions. What is soft about that. It's only 15 watts so It's not going to blow off any roofs. LOL (:

[@Robstafarian]

@@Joe-mz6dc Stow your insults and think if you imagine that healthcare is even remotely affordable after paying rent, particularly if one is paying for gear. I am old enough to represent the watershed between people just old enough to know that home ownership is a fantasy for most and those young enough to have grown up with a reasonable expectation of being shot in a public place which is itself considered safe by monied, white people. There is more than one way to be hard, and none of them involves being a presumptuous asshole on the Internet.

[@MIKE-D158]

John Bohlinger, maybe it seems like you’ve had the DGT for 20 years but not quite. It wasn’t released until 2007, I have a 2008.

[@w1zard0f0h]

[@jk-76]

Sounds killer, but most of us can't kust kick out $1,000.00 for 15 watts.

[@jk-76]

@@TheRealDavidFarmer For 15 watts? There are lotts of very nice amplifiers in that price range.

[@misterknightowlandco]

Or buy it used… you guys who buy new and unload it 6 months later make me very happy. I’ve bought 3 tube amps used on fb marketplace for under a grand this summer 😂😂😂.

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

@@misterknightowlandcobought my hdrx 20 that way … your spot on and hope I get this soon !

[@steveb9325]

​@misterknightowlandco yes!!! Like Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Young guys buy them new, they sit in the garage for a year or two after 6 months and sell them. Same w amps! Guitars, bikes and women!!! Not necessarily in that order😂

[@jk-76]

I don't buy things new either, but the MT15, when they pop up around Albuquerque, are like $700.00. For 15 watts.

[@svbarr]

Really?? Nice amp but why not add an extra or larger power tunbe and bring it up to 30 watts?? Making apologies and telling drummers to play softer is weird. If "the perfect amp" to many is a Fender Deluxe at over 25 watts so any amp that will be used at a live gig should have at least 25 watts.

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

Well there already is a 30 watt model

[@jaymelynnmcintyre8574]

Totally agree

[@TheRange7]

I just "say no" to all things PRS. Bought one guitar and even though it's a finely crafted instrument it sounds lifeless and was DOA when it came to mojo. Hardpass

[@ajcajc5429]

You know when an amp comes out without a loop that its irrelevant to millions of players
