Hey folks, I just wanted to let you know there is a new SE20 video up now. I think you will find a variety of much more palatable and complex tones in this new video, and hopefully get a better feel of what the SE20 can do. I hope you like what you hear. If you do, please visit your local PRS dealer and play one (which is really the only way anyone should ever experience an amplifier if they want to formulate an educated opinion on one).
The amount of ppl who now make amps in unbelievable, and every time a new line of amps comes out, the same old claims are made, the same BS emperors new clothes crap is trotted out. All I can say is that there must be some profit in making expensive valves amps cuz everyone is at it, it's like boutique effects, some of the cheaper valves amps cost less than a boutique overdrive pedal. If you look on stage, most pro bands still use Marshall, and that's what counts, PRS do make great guitars thou.
I saw Paul do a little demo with Mike Ault and Kirby Kelley in Dallas to show off his new amps and some new pickups two years ago. It is one sweet sounding amp.
This guy is not Paul Smith's son. He was born in a small town a few miles away from Clemson University in South Carolina. He comes from a family of car dealers. I've seen him play, in person, and he's not showing half of what he can do. Wonder why no one has picked this kid up yet? He can play with the best!!! As you can see, I'm a fan!
@Metallimeister Many amplifiers that are known to have very high gain, metal tones, are not tight enough on their own. For example, the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier is not tight on it's own, but when you put a Tube Screamer or an OD-808 in front of it, the pedal cuts out some of the low end and boosts the mids and high's, effectively making the amp sound tighter and more "metal ready". Do the same with this amp and you'll be set when it comes to metal.
I like what I'm hearing so far, but it seems weird to demo the gain with everything set to 1 o'clock without then going on to show what it's capable of when you actually do adjust the knobs. The knobs were adjusted for the clean demo and it sounded fantastic, so I think failing to do that for the gain channel was a bit of a missed opportunity. At any rate, I'll be keeping an eye out for further demos.
Actually it sounds kind of like a blender full of gravel. PRS should stick to guitars and leave amp building to Marshall, Engl, Diezel, Krank, and a few others.
@johnsoncm65 Agreed it don't sound too good, could be the ways it been recorded thou to be fair, when he plays the six string chords, far from it sounding defined as he say it sounds really muddy and messed up, it actually sounds as thou the guitar is out of tune.
@prsguitars when will you be putting new demos???... I'm a big fan of PRS but that demo sound fizzy, it's like you had a really bad fuzz pedal engaged the whole time, both the 'clean' and 'lead' channel.
@niahi +1 I couldn't agree more. Is this the best demo they could produce? Apart from the short clean demo at the end it sounds horrible! Based on this demo, I wouldn't buy this amp. C'mon PRS WTF?
Yeah not touching the EQ is a bad idea. Haha the gain need to be rolled off a tad, and the highs could be cut a little. In the video it sounded very harsh. And I don't think that's really the clean channel, it's probably just a one channel amp on the high gain setting and he rolled off his volume to clean up the sound.
Saying "I didn't even touch the EQ" could be bragging, if it didn't sound like it needed to be EQ'ed better. I highly await new and better demos though.
@nicolasrivera with these going at 900 for just the 20w head this is not a good price. You can get really nice used amps that are MIA or made in the UK for that price. For 900 for the head alone I would expect more.
@Chad11491 I don't know that they'll be that much, if you're referring to the price on Elderly's site, I've heard rumors that the price will be much lower when they actually come out. They only have about $100 off list at Elderly so I would guess more like somewhere around $700, which is a pretty competitive price for an amp with those features.
Try to realize that the distorted clean channel is mostly from the guitar, he is playing an Mark Tremonti PRS in the beginning. Those come with the most aggressive passive pickups I have heard. When Paul demo'd the Mike Mushok SE for Guitar World, he mentioned that the pickups were "a bit hot" and would distort the sound on a clean channel. The Tremonti pickups are even hotter, so expect some distortion, even from a clean channel. I actually love the how the amp sounds.
@bornburied I agree with you and retract my previous statement. The pickups my be "hot" but they can sound clean if you want them to. The amp can be tuned the same way, dirty if you want it to be. I will be keeping an eye on these amps.
When he mentioned it was the clean channel, it sounded pretty dirty/fuzzy and I'm listening to this demo on Bose Speakers . I didn't hear anything clean sounding .
Can't tell if it's bad or if its just EQ'd like ass. Everything's at 1 o'clock when he's using the SC, giving it way too much lower mids and making it flub out.
i think a lot of people seem to be missing the point here. i think what they were going for with that beginning part is that the amp has two independently voiced channels that can be set up as you wish. the clean can be really dirty, and vice versa. sure its done a little backwards though, but watch the whole video. i've heard this amp do smooth overdrive as well, but they made this video for a different audience and because everyone was complaining about wanting a higher gain amp online.
@blastDERVbeat BTW what is "higher gain amp online" and who was complaining? The other PRS amps didnt lack gain. Nobody missed anything, it was poorly produced .
I hate to pile on, but it really is not a very impressive amp if I have to depend on this video to make a decision. The video demonstrates anything but defined chordal notes and the intro sounds like the first $20 distortion pedal I ever bought, not like a clean channel. I don't get it, I guess. I am a big PRS fan, but while your playing is nice Rhett, the tone is not....in the ears of the beholder I guess.
If I'm listening to the clean channel (at the start of the video), wouldn't I want to hear clean? Not fizzy overdrive? ... I love PRS products, but I'm not impressed by the "clean" of this amp!
If they price these in the same ratio to the pro line amps as the SE guitars are in ratio to the American line of guitars this will be a game changer.
This is definitely of interest, I'm waiting for a screaming blues lick that makes the hair on my arms stand up. I'd prefer a singing, sustaining, SMOOTH overdrive tone with ALOT of feeling, that would impress me.
More imported guitar gear? Really? In THIS economy? God, you can get premium gear from starving people out there for pennies on the dollar right now. Very few gainfully employed musicians out there. The boutique glut was great until Obamanomics forced people to liquidate their credit card funded Bogners to pay their mortgage. If you have cashflow, and most don't, spend it on something that will at least hold SOME value. Good luck everyone, spend wisely. No offense to PRS intended.
Listening to the SE PRS amp leaves me disappointed. Yes, it sure sounds fizzy to me too. Oh, I'm a PRS fan. I own a beautiful custom22 20th anniversary edition. My absolute fav guitar. I'll keep my Fender amp. Gotta go. Meatloaf is done.
@catboyzee definitely not! if you'd like, subscribe to our channel...we'll be uploading a bunch of different videos that will cover different styles of playing, as well as some more in depth walk throughs of all the new PRS SE amplifiers.
What did he say "Believe it or not this is the clean channel????" Don't know about you guyys.... but that's as far as I got...cause the clean sound pretty nasty
@crosseyedwillie if you go further into the video he says its VERY touch responsive and demos that attribute (and if you look closely his bridge pickup is open coil which is something commonly done to very hot pickups so the dirty bite is partly the guitars fault too) ... also he uses the clean channel again with a different guitar and it sounds great
Wow! Tune the damn guitar! All of them. What can I say... I'm disappointed... Sorry... Bash me all you want. Raspy, Out of tune... Crappy nonsense... Yuck!
@bornburied Excuse me, but why are you having a one-sided argument with me? Over the course of 3 hours, you called me "a tone-deaf motherfucker" for my OPINION, and then proceeded to tell myself and everyone on here about amazing your studio monitor set-up when I didn't reply. You've done nothing but get on here and talk shit to everyone. You're 43, with no videos of your own playing, talking shit with only your OPINION to back it up. Got something to prove to everyone? Y u mad bro?
@bornburied Alright dude. I understand. I really do. Your just a prs troll and it is your mission/life goal to be a professional doucher. Your a 43 year old male with a "sweet VHT" who's job is to troll troll troll on every video that shows a talented guitar player playing a fantastic amp. I'm sorry your life blows enough to where you get joy in saying sweeeet lines like "tissue for your issue?" Now go back upstairs your mother is calling. The meat loaf is ready.
@blastDERVbeat Actually my Dr Z Z-28 is much sweeter. Ahhhh the old "guy's gotta be a loser in his parents basement" retort. I see being tonedeaf is not your only short coming.
@zombieheadhunter the amps are all tube. The clean and lead channel gain stages are driven by 12AX7 preamp tubes. Loop, verb, and phase inverter utilize 12AT7s.
@Janesch The end did sound nice, but at a volume of about 1 or 2. That tells you nothing about headroom, which I believe is the more accurate measurement for a good sounding clean channel. Makes me think something is being concealed here.
Sounds very good.By the way we should give it up for Mr.Smith not only he builds fine instruments,he also introduces us to great new talents,like D.Knowles,K.Capolino,Orianthi or this young fella here.He has some real chops,looking forward to see more of him.
@greekfreak1980 Good for a couple hundred bucks sure......I play a high quality PRS knock off which plays better than any PRS I've tried. Orianthi is a contrived female hack.....
sounds soo much better through real speakers then laptop speakers! dirty channell sounds good as is, even eq'd flat. i guess that's what they're going for.
@blastDERVbeat not everybody has shitty old school cheapo comp speakers-- in fact most players I know have much better speakers than non musicians -some even use thier studio monitors.Mine can produce full sound below 82hz without a sub woofer.
@cbertram11 indeed it can, the intro, as Rhett said, was in the clean channel, so it's got a lot of gain.
amithabajan2 2 weeks ago
could the SE amp cover metal tones??
cbertram11 3 weeks ago
@cbertram11 if the dirty channel at half gain sounds like modded jcm800 at 75% gain, do the math(this is an awesome amp!)

@blastDERVbeat not everybody has shitty old school cheapo comp speakers-- in fact most players I know have much better speakers than non musicians -some even use thier studio monitors.Mine can produce full sound below 82hz without a sub woofer.

Clean sounds wonderful, but to me the dirty channel sounded flat and muddy! Just my opinion though of course
