Siestalady Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Having been a huge fan of all things PRS, including my custom guitar, I can't believe how bad this amp is - the child of PRS and Doug Sewell. After waiting forever to receive it with all sorts of broken promises, the $1800 amp died after the first 60 days. This amp runs extremely hot and I thought it didn't seem right. After I spent $90 to mail it back and get fixed, now only 1 side runs hot but after a few weeks the foot pedal went. Now I have to carry a 35 year old Laney back-up. Still waiting for a response from PRS on this latest break down. Stay away from this product until they figure out where they went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's too bad! It's still under warranty, right? This amp runs extremely hot and I thought it didn't seem right. After I spent $90 to mail it back and get fixed, now only 1 side runs hot Do you mean, one EL34 output-tube runs hot, one channel runs hot, or... what?

Caevan O’Shite Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Lemme guess: made overseas? "Handmade in Stevensville, Maryland..." Evidently, the "C" in "PRS 2-Channel C Amp" stands for a "Cinemag"-brand output-transformer running into a duet of EL34's, while a nearly identical model, the PRS 2-Channel H Amp, has a Heyboer O/T harnessed to a pair of 6L6's. __ PRS 2 channel "C" Amp ___________. http://www.prsguitars.com/2channelamp_C/img/front.jpg Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
