    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    My Mesa Mark V:35 I bought used with no original receipt, so no warranty anyways...never experimented with tubes in that one but it's due for a retube in the next 6 months or so also. Gonna have to try out some NOS stuff, although it's my favorite #1 amp, so I'm not sure the tone can be...

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    Thanks for all the info...interesting about the NOS tubes, I had never even thought of that before. Will consider that and definitely install the dampers on new power tubes before I install.

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    I have a couple Mesa heads and neither of them has any noise issues whatsoever, so maybe I just got lucky! I appreciate the hookup for the Eurotubes damper rings...just looked them up and will be ordering some later today!!! May as well put those on the new tubes once I swap them all...

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    All of these issues have been reported by others (or so I've read), so I'm sure there will be a fix to address them eventually. For now, going to swap tubes and do my own maintenance. Truth be told, even with these few small issues, I still love this head to death. Great little firebreather...

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    I haven't contacted PRS yet, not sure if it's worth it to ship there and back, plus potential parts and labor for a $650 amp. I still use this head quite often as I love the sounds it produces, but went back to my Mesa for main practice and live rig. I've got over 180 hours on this set of...

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    I've actually been using a couple hand towels folded up underneath the feet of the amp for a "buffer" to lessen the vibration noise...works somewhat, but doesn't help a lot. Have tried gel type pads too, but still makes noise. I got one of the very first ones, so maybe this issue has been...

    Is there a fix yet for the MT15 noise/hum?

    Months later, I still love the sounds out of my MT15, but I'm afraid it's getting used less and less for a couple reasons. First off, I have that hum/hiss issue which is really annoying at lower volumes (and it's getting worse). Makes sense when you think of all that's shoved in that tiny...

    MT15 Matching Cab on the Way...

    Haha! Agreed...no good cab should ever be sold! And I could give two sh*ts whether or not the head matches the cab...it's all about the sound brah! I've tried a TON of cabs/configurations/speakers with the MT15. My favorite 2 are the Orange PPC212 with Celestion V30's and Avatar Contemporary...

    MT15 Matching Cab on the Way...

    Thx man...yeah, the FX loop on mine is super quiet and works as it should. No noticeable hum at all as a matter of fact, kudos to PRS for getting it right on this one when the Archon has been plagued with loop issues. UPDATE: Here is the bad news, after several more hours on the MT112 cab, I...

    MT15 Matching Cab on the Way...

    Here we go, my initial impressions after playing through the matching MT15 cab for around 7 hours with volume about 1/3rd up on full 15 watts. First off, the cab is built well and mine had no visual defects when it arrived. Looks sharp with the MT15 head for sure. Sound wise, it puts out a...

    MT15 Matching Cab on the Way...

    Definitely will post a review after some time with it, gonna do some A/B tests and try to get some sound clips. I'm pretty good at breaking in speakers, just ask my neighbors :) Should have 8 hours on her at a pretty good db level by Sunday, won't be broken in, but loosened up a bit!!!

    MT15 Matching Cab on the Way...

    Got a call from my Sweetwater rep today, my MT15 matching 1x12 cab is being shipped today for delivery Friday hopefully! Loving the MT15 more than ever, beast of a little amp and sounds even better with tubes broken in sufficiently. Really plenty of juice for our live gigs, it's really scary...

    Out for Delivery!

    Congrats on the MT!!! I have mine running through an Orange 2x12 closed back with V30's....sounds pretty awesome! I think it's pretty similar to the Avatar contemporary so if you can't wait for matching cab or find an Orange or Mesa used, could get one of those. No matter what you hook up to...

    NGD - MT15=Metal

    Got mine...it's a brute! Gonna play it more before we leave for holiday so I gotta jet, but YES, it lives up to the online hype and then some :) Bringing it with me to the cabin, that kind of says it all...a keeper for sure!!!!

    Something in a box showed up!

    Sounds fuggin' awesome through Orange 2x12 closed back with V30's. You can usually pick those up used for a great price and there are plenty of them out there, built like tanks-16 ohm and look cool too. My only issue with the PPC212 is it sounds a bit heavy in the mids for some reason, usually...
