15/7 Watts (Switchable) 2 Channels 6L6 Power Tubes.

The MT 15's design started with heavier players in mind, but in the end, it has a lot to offer players of all genres. Like the PRS Archon amplifier, the MT 15 features five gain stages before the Master for full, lush distortion. The gain channel gets big, chunky tone with massive, tight low end, but it never loses its articulate note definition or great lead tone. The clean channel is bright and chimey, good with chords and fingerstyle playing - whether with a pic or not. The clean channel also features a push/pull boost control that adds a little overdrive for old school crunch. No matter what tone you dial in, the MT 15 stays balanced across the spectrum with a sweet, smooth tone that won't bite your head off. Additional features include an effects loop and bias adjusters that are accessible from the back panel for ease of servicing. Despite its 15 watts, the MT 15 sounds more like 50, so a half power switch that takes the MT to 7 watts is a welcome edition. Bottom line, the amount of features, the hugeness of the sound, and the raw horsepower of the circuit make the MT 15 an impressive lunchbox hero. The MT 15 is Mark Tremonti's first signature amplifier.

I've been making music for over 20 years and own several amplifiers. In the rehearsal room, I use a rectifier. I wanted to have a similar sound at home, and that's how I came across the MT15. It has a fantastic sound, but it's almost impossible to adjust for quiet listening (e.g., in an apartment building in the evening). Even in the 7-watt mode, there's a significant increase in volume from almost silent to loud within a 1mm turn of the knob. So, I built a pedal with a potentiometer that can be inserted into a loop. This allows me to reduce the signal strength in the loop and also drive the amplifier to full saturation, all at a quiet volume. These pedals are also available for purchase. So now I'm happy.
