"We knew we wanted a low-wattage amp. The challenge was getting a lot of tone and features in a little box. We’re all blown away with how it turned out. It’s going to be great for someone to take it out of the box, set everything to noon, and have it sound great.”
– Mark Tremonti

The MT 15 V2 is a commanding two channel amp with balanced aggression and articulation. The MT 15 V2 punches above its weight class with a large, bold sound, so you can dig in heavy with rhythms but also get singing lead tones out of one amp. Whether recording, practicing, writing, or playing a small room, this amp has everything you need.

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 V21 features five gain stages before the Master for full, lush distortion. The lead channel gets big, chunky tone with massive, tight low end, but it never loses its articulate note definition or great lead tone. The Lead channel also features a push/pull overdrive control that removes two gain stages to produce vintage, crunchier “mid gain” tones. The clean channel is bright and chimey, good with chords and fingerstyle playing – whether with a pick 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 V2 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 V2 sounds more like 50, so a half power switch that takes the MT to 7 watts is a welcome addition. Bottom line, the amount of features, the hugeness of the sound, and the raw horsepower of the circuit make the MT 15 V2 an impressive lunchbox hero.

Features

Number of Channels

The MT 15 is a 2-channel amp, offering extreme cleans to Tremonti’s signature high-gain tones. With a 3-band EQ for each channel and a pull-boost on the clean channel, the MT 15 allows players to master their tone.

Modern Design

Modern features include a Master Volume and Gain control for the Lead Channel, Treble Boost on the Clean Channel, Presence control, and a tube-driven effects loop.

Wattage

Even at 15 watts, the MT 15 is a powerful amp. It can easily handle small to mid-sized rooms, and the equipped half-power switch is a welcome addition for home use.
