Dang! HDRX 20 news....

[Lewguitar]

PRS wants the amp back. It stopped working and when I changed fuses they all blew again. Planned to ship it to my brother at Mission Amps in Denver but I got sick instead.

But Starr's Guitars (my favorite local guitar store) caught me before I could ship it to my brother and says PRS wants it back.

I guess they want to check their quality control, see if the circuit needs changing or strengthening...something like that.

Maybe they'll just give me a new one!

It's all packed up and ready to go and I'll drop it off at Starr's Guitars after all.

No idea how long I'll be without it.

But fortunately I have another.

I guess that’s good news about the amp going back to PRS. Mojo to you.

Well....maybe they'll find some little detail that'll result in a more reliable amp for everyone.

Although this is the first issue I've had and I bought the amp 6 months ago and have used it every day.

I would still recommend it.

Probably just a fluke. Weak diode or something.

Sorry you had to send it back...but good that PRS will take care of it.

Nice amp, and schlitz happens. You'll be treated right.

I’m pushing mine hard with a reactive load frequently, no problems here. Like you said, could very well be just a fluke. Nice that they’re looking at it though, they do make revisions to the amps periodically.

Good news on the amp and customer service.

Be safe Lew, hope you feel better soon.

Hopefully They Send You A New One Right Away!

Please note how he reminds me, almost daily, that he has TWO of them. So, while this is somewhat of an inconvenience, it's not a real problem. Because, after all, he has TWO of them.

Speaking of which, MrLew, thanks to a more compassionate forum brother, one who cares more about the whole group and not just himself, I sent payment today for an HDRX20. Just kidding brother. Can't wait to join you in the HDRX20 club. Speaking of which...

A more "open" and crunchy OD, like an OCD, Amp11 or Timmy, should KILL with this thing. I'll know soon.

Hope you love it!

Just don't expect Santana style sustain from the HDRX alone.

You'll need a great OD pedal or two and a nice delay and reverb pedal.

For me, those pedals complete the amp.

I got one of the first Sonzera 20 combos in Baltimore a few yews back. Started humming very badly and shop shipped it to them and I got it back three weeks later
The service and attention to my amp was great.

You're playing that amp through one of the biggest sounding 1-12 cabs I've come across. Nice

The Matchless? I love it. Has a made in the UK Celestion Heritage G12H30 speaker.

 

[ViperDoc]

Blown fuse is likely a bad supply cap or diode as said before. Or a shorted tube. Let us know what they found out! PRS rocks.

 

[Maxime Bousquet]

Good news ! PRS will take care of your amp, in the meantime take care of yourself!

I have some really good ones to try. Of course, fuzz pedals will get played. And it’s time to by a Horse meat and some kind of klone.

The Jeff from J Rockett is the Klone to get.

Jeff used "the Jeff".

Tumnus! My favorite overdrive through an Archon, and I know you have one of those too.
