    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    this must be the year for teeth problems! in the last year, I had 2 crowns, 1 root canal, and 2 extractions. Now I need to eventually get a partial for the 2 molars that were extracted so I can eat proper again. I would rather have 2 implants but they would cost me $10k! I always have taken...

    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    There is nothing wrong with owning many brands. I have PRS...nice instruments...but I prefer my Gibson's overall..... I never understood one brand loyalists. Whatever floats ya boats ..

    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    I'm not bashing it, but I'm not stuck to one amp as the be all end all either. I said it was killer when I found the right settings for me. NOT PERIOD though. Have a good day.

    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    I wasn't expecting the holy grail, just a nice amp for my bedroom studio outside of my extremely loud Marshalls. Like I said, once I got the right settings, it's killer for an amp costing $1200 with cab.

    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    I think most of my problem was running the amp too hot at bias of 30...with my current settings, 28 is perfect....it wasn't gelling too well at 30. All factors matter though. Pickups, Bias, settings on amp, speakers, effects. playing style....just like any other amp. When this thing is set up...

    Trying Hard to Like the HDRX20

    I have had a love hate relationship with mine, but finally getting the tone I want out of it at bedroom levels. I use a captor X on middle setting and the following settings on the amp and a bias of a little over 28. This is set up with my Gibson Les Paul with Slash Buckers. Effects I run...

    Got a new PRS speaker cabinet for my HDRX 20...

    My 1 x 12 PRS cab from China sounds amazing. no need to change the speaker. Amp biased to 28 - 28.5

    What is your blues pedal in PRS

    depends on the guitar and pickup I use. I love the Archer IKON on neck pups ...MXR Timmy is great overall OD ...also my Boss Blues Driver Waza and my Boss OD 3 . It depends on my mood.

    NGD: My Silver Sky SE Stone Blue arrived.. much better than I expected!

    Came perfect right out the box. Action is a tad higher than I like but even so, plays incredible. I'm not even going to mess with it for awhile....The fret work is the best I have seen and felt in mid priced and even higher priced guitars, EVER. every not rings clear and no fretting out anywhere...

    Another episode of amp guy vs. modeler guy!

    Way back in the late 70s and 80s, I had very limited choice. I went from a Yamaha solid state to 100W Marshall. Currently I am in love with my PRS HDRX 20 watter, but I also have plug ins , Fender Tonemaster and a Katana. They all have a purpose. The more choices the better.

    Played it for a hot min , HDRX20

    It took me a couple weeks of tweaking mine to find the sweet spot. It's definitely bass heavy, so you really have to dial back both the bass control and bass channel control , for humbuckers at least. I haven't tried it much with single coils yet, but other demos tells me it sounds pretty...
