PRS... You've Done It AGAIN 

You know how many feet pics i'd have to sell to afford a PRS guitar and AMP?

Of all the things I wanted to "mimic" from guitar heroes, their guitar faces weren't one of them. But, whatever your body wants to involuntarily do to introduce the sound-- is fair game.

I did buy this amp recently - must have been one of the first ones coming into Germany. I do have the DG30 since about half a decade and love it, but it stays in the rehearsal room - much too loud for home use. I am quite amazed how PRS managed to put in a lot more features at a much lower price point and still maintain the great sound. It works amazingly well in a dry-wet rig when combined with the PRS HDRX 20, which is my absolute favorite. As far as signature guitars go, I never really bought them to sound like somebody else, just because they were good guitars with specs or finishes I could not get otherwise. My first signature guitar was the Ibanez LR10 (Lee Ritenour model, heavily ES335 inspired) around 1981 - I still have and play it. My latest signature guitar is the PRS Fiore (Mark Lettieri model), which I consider the best guitar I have played in my life (well over 300 since 1976 and most of them more expensive when considering inflation). I did play the Fender Kingfish Tele in a shop recently and was really impressed - this will likely be my next signature model, if nobody stops me.

You need to find a detached house to live in so you can unleash the beast!

Hey Mike, that line about Lucille was a classic! Thanks for all you do.

You got some nice tones going on. My signature amp is a George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe. Benson made a video about the process (it’s somewhere around here). He made a few tasteful mods when he wanted to design an amp to take on the road that would play clean with an eye dropper of crunch and a parking lot of headroom. Still getting to know her as a stand alone and as a pedal platform. Benson later designed a Twin Reverb that might be ultra.

7:10 human nature cover goes crazy actually

I was always drawn to sound. I also took up the guitar when I was 20, so my motivation wasn’t typical. I was an up-and-coming keyboard player who always had plenty of work. The guitar solo in “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” and “Midnight At The Oasis” really grabbed me. I bought a ‘72 Strat and got to work. It took me about 10 years of hard work to achieve a respectable level of proficiency. Learning how to get a great sound took at least that long. But I digress. I bought the DGT 15 head, and found it to be an exercise in frustration. At one point I actually had it packed up and ready to send back. One day I decided to give it one more try. I finally stumbled onto a configuration that worked well. The thing that put the amp over the top for me was the matching cabinet. It’s easily the best sounding cab I own. After experimenting with boost and distortion pedals, I found three that give me some great tonal variations. I’m finally at a point where I turn the amp on and just play-no more fiddling with knobs. The DGT 15 is a bit of an enigma, but like anything that comes from PRS, it’s an incredibly well-made piece of gear. It’s one of the warmest production amps I’ve ever played.

For me, the holy grail of amps would be the Vox AC30. Someday when I grow up, I'll have one

The only signature guitar I ever owned was the Washburn Dimebag Darrell in green sunburst aka snotburst. This was in high school in the mid 90s.

i hate the names on the guitars, but these things work! ;-D have a perfect day!!!

7:15 reverb sounds great. I have 2 requirements in amps. Reverb and an effects loop. Prefer global reverb across any and all channels

Mark Knopfler 1962 Red Strat Garry Moore 1959 Greenie Les Paul They’re the one that probably mark my memory the most when I was younger…

Refering to SRV's guitar as "relic'd" definitely threw me off lol

Dude i just checked out that amp!!! Awesome but have to get it loud. Keep up the vids love them!!!

Try a Germino for Marshall reissues, and Victoria for Tweed reissues. The Fender Tweed Super (2x10” 35 watt) is such a wildly cool amp that people don’t pay attention to much, unless they know.

I bought this amp. It sounds great and it is LOUD!! I live in a house and can run it at Grissom's settings... but it would destroy my hearing. I am going to return it because I can't see any place where I would be able to use it. In a bar or small club, even a Princeton at 4 can be pushing it. This amp is 10 times that loud if you want to unlock its real potential.

Couple of people said its a single coil amp for Strats,humbuckers not as good.

Love the videos man. Awesome playing, and thanks for the educational side. Bbking sig amp would be 🔥

Sounds like my Peavey Classic 30

Caught that little Human Nature jam in there

5:30 this is great understanding of how valve amps work. I’ve a nice Hughes and Kettner Grand Meister Deluxe 40. It has 0W, 1W, 5W, 20W power soak modes and of course the full 40W mode. 40W isn’t 8 times louder than 5W. In fact even in 1W mode and sufficiently cranked i could have NZ police and Auckland City Councils noise police knocking on my apartment door in cranked 1W mode and trying to confiscate my amp. Seriously They won’t do that coz ya need 3 warnings i think? But still you get my point. 1W is loud.

Alex Lifeson of Rush has his own amp Brand called Lerxst. They cost an arm and a leg but I bet they spit out some great sounds

May I humbly suggest you wrap your ears around a Joe Ely rekkid entitled “Live at Liberty Lunch”. It features a young Grissom on one of his first PRS instruments. Enjoy!

You should try a DGT Core. I have a top 10 DGT and it's beyond amazing.

There was also a 50 watt DG50 as well - 'Not a fan of any of them. They all have a very harsh overdrive - Low volume as well as cranked. Grissom seems to like it for some reason.

EVH yes. First time I heard you mention Eddie. I'm an Eddie kid from the 80s, and built my own Eddie guitars at 16 years old.

I was a little disappointed in my 15 Watt head and cabinet because it barely breaks up at all! I have to buy pedals. But it’s growing on me! I needed to finally learn to use pedals. I saw a Marshall JCM 800 small black Head and cabinet at the guitar store for $1999 that would have been a better fit for me.

To me one of the most iconic other than #1 is the Jimi Hendrix monteray.

How does the DGT sound with running a delay into the front end of the amp? Generally, I prefer it in the effect loop but the tones that I’m hearing out of the DGT sound pretty awesome and write up the alley of what I am looking for

You didn't add Alex Lifeson in there. Maybe you should have Mike, lol. "Michael Jackson human nature" sweet tune.

One of my favorite reviewers. This made me miss my DGT SE gold top but.... I still have my McCarty 594 SE... Blackgold burst?? which is in company with my american parts strat and gold top Gibson 50s tribute Les Paul. All hold their own. Now...bc of this guy^^^ I'll be buying the damn DGT head now lol. Love the videos my friend, keep them coming.

English or Spanish

Dial it up, I know you want to! Try the settings suggested just once, to see what it is like at stage volume. Tell em' Its for science. 😁

why in the world would they put the tremolo after the reverb? The reverb fades in and out with the tremolo. WTF?

Do all of his videos start by having him ask us “something”?

can we get a tom misch like vid youre the only creator ive heard mention him so far

another thing that's RU-vidr says constantly is "pretty quickly"

What he play 7:10? Beautiful.

They have done nothing. My Tonex pedal can get any tone under the sun. I power it with a Vox nutube amp (fluorescent tubes, the amp cost $250, and it’s the size of a pedal, and weighs less than my shoe). Basically, I get any sound I want. I can travel anywhere I want with it …without added expenses or years of back pain from the weight, and it’s all super affordable. Unless you have roadies, or just a gear snob, why would anyone buy a large amp, especially one with heavy tubes in it. It’s just not a smart thing to do.

Wow nice🎉❤

What exactly is a tube reverb?

For me its the Edward Van Halen Frankenstein

I know i can search but in the interests of the YT algorithm- this is 30W yes ? Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

Interesting video. I am looking for a nice Tube Amp myself to upgrade from Blackstar Debut 50r Solid state amp. Looking to spend less than 1k, I play everything from Blues to Hard rock. Any recommendations anyone?

A little off topic, but what was it about the DGT that you think is miles above the double cut 594? I played them both back to back in a store just over a week ago, so have my thoughts on the two, but I would say they are two sides of the same coin, just slight preference differences (Trem vs Fixed Bridge). Pickups are slightly different etc.

Rickenbacker 4001 Chris Squire signature.

One of these came into the music store where i teach. We lit it up when it came in. Started to crank the gain, and sounded really bad. We thought it was just a bad one. We were sent 3 of them. We opened up another one, and the same thing. Sounded really weird and noisy. I think the HDRX is a much better sounding head.

Man, i have a gig now ill watch later

Didn't you do a video recently about how tube amps were obsolete 💀

5:26 I thought you were gonna say "but the master volume here actually goes to 11" Kinda disappointed, it would have been a smart move by PRS...

First time I saw a signature guitar was the first signature guitar - my friend's Les Paul and I loved it. The look, the size & shape. I didn't like the fat 80s Gibson neck so I bought the Epiphone version with the extremely slim slim neck. I still have it Only other one I can bring to mind is the Kaizen, which I dislike. I appreciate it, to be sure, but the look is too Crybabytruck for my liking Existing guitars with special tweaks here & there for a signature artist? Meh.

Too expensive, for me... Would love to have a PRS Amp, but I'm not a gigging player, and can't justify paying that much, for an at home amp.

Chris Stapleton Princeton

The first signature guitar I ever saw was a Hank Marvin strat, I didnt like it at all. Its NOT an SC, SC is Single Cut.

Man, when you use ribbon mic, you might want to put it a bit further and put it at an angle from the speaker. I know, you might like the sound you're getting, but ribbon mics are pretty fragile and overtime the ribbon might get a bit loose and streched and the signal will degrade. I've seen a lot of ribbons that were often used with loud sources like amps, without keeping the distance and proper angle, and let me tell you, they all sounded like shit after a year or two.

I'll never understand buying a signature guitar because it's a signature guitar. Heck, the whole reason signature guitars exist is so guitar companies can use the image of artists to make more money, not so more people can play well. Folks, I know these things are fun and cool. But they're so because we learned to think that way with all the years of images suggesting that purchase will get you closer to your idol. But it won't. Maybe what's really cool is having the origin stories of all these signature items. Something like: You found this awesome neck on a strat a random guy from work gave away to you, and it was a lefty neck, but you put it on your thrift shot mustang body anyways and did what you had to do to make it work. It plays and sounds exactly how you want it. It wasn't in the beginning, but some of its imperfections have shaped your technique by now. And what's cool about signature instruments is that they're really only valuable to the player they're a signature of. Get out there and go make your own signature instrument!

bababoi

friedman double J 😎

It's funny how this is the DGT 15 and not the DG 15. I guess his last name is now Trem

👍

damn bro, i had to actually go steal music books and rewind my walkman back just listen to certain parts on songs, then the batteries would die and the music books were completely wrong., You have no idea how good you have it. BTW love your vids

less talking more playing love your vids it’s just to much talking man 👌🏼

Same as everyone else, the first signature guitar seen was a Gibson Les Paul.

you know Jimi Hendrix never played a jimi signature strat, right?

Why would you want to sound like other people?

Pete Thorn has a signature amp.

Don't waste money on signature guitars, use your brain. That resonator on the wall...instant Ry Cooder 😎 Master volume = attenuator

PRS is good but too expensive

Never been this early

Woah early

Ah, the obnoxious clickbait is strong with this one. Quality of content, not so much.

Mike, your content lacks any depth, you're the modern day version of an infomercial. If your only point when creation content is putting fuel on GAS, you're as useful as a Guitar Centar employee telling you that ToAnWOoD makes you a better guitarist ( i guess that is where you learned it...). Make better content.

Enough with the stories, just keep the review to the point.

overpriced low wattage amp that sounds like everything else, great job Paul Reed Shit
