NAD - PRS MT15

[sevenfoxes]

The MT15 is a pretty beastly little amp. The Gain comes on super fast on the lead channel, but it’s a great sound.

Put a 12ay7 in it, and you've got yourself a wide range of distortion.

That’s what I’ve heard. Does it affect volume?

Anyone tried the MT15 with dirt pedals in front? Like stacking low gains and see how it reacts. Also fuzzes.

Thanks.
I have a few JJ 12AT7's on the way because Amazon. Reading V3 is a magic spot for the lower gain tube swap on the MT15 as well....
I'll try the other in the 5153 at V1.

I picked up a minty used Tremonti for 480. Incredible amp for the tone and money. Super tight and responsive it has a little rectoish thickness to me. Very happy with the thing fun to play

Any owners having increasing hum over time? Mine started off normal/silent now i have perpetual hum. Removed all the in and loop pedals and no change, was super suspect about the M13 power supply but no help. Have had it about 8 months or so.
Shitty tubes maybe?

HNAD my dude!
What's the bedroom volume performance like? Manageable at speaking volume? TV volume?

V3 eh? I have a little bit of hum going on it's nothing critical. I may have to try my 5751 trick I did with the 5153..

Is the PRS MT15 effects loop placed after the power tubes or before them?

I can't find the owner's manual online.

Thanks.

I don't think I've ever heard of an effects loop being after the power tubes...
Is your question about the effects loops being line or instrument level? If so, it's a modern (ie instrument level) loop. Any pedals should work fine through it I think.

I played one of these the other day and it was definitely worthy of the hype. The feel from the larger tubes are apparent straight away. I have no doubt the amp would kill live!

Great thread! Gonna pull the trigger on one of these bad boys this coming week!

 

[Wolfhorsky]

Mine hums tiny bit, but it is noticable only when i play very quiet. But it is very prone to „collect” noise from tablets, phones, computer screen etc, also from the pickups.
It is the great sounding amp for sure. The hype is real.

BUMP.

What does the preamp out sound like?

Can you get decent tones out of it by feeding the preamp out into a DAW and using IRs?
