    PRS Two Channel "C" Proto Signed Tube Guitar Amp Head

    Hi All, just went to check out a used PRS Two Channel "C" Proto Signed Tube Guitar Amp Head at a local guitar center. Was all set to buy it but when they turned it on there were some odd signs - 1 it sounded great but did not get very loud, 2 the reverb was barely noticeable even when pegged at...

    Is there anything special about the middle pick up selection or is it just both pick ups at the same time?

    New to the PRS club - just got the "out for delivery" notice on a 2002 McCarty Hollowbody II violin amber 10 top. Will post pics and a review once I get to check it out and play it. Coming from an American HSS strat and a Carvin DC400A with super distortion Dimarzios this will indeed be a very...
