Tell me about the PRS "30" combo amp

[Telecastermds]

I see one locally for sale @ $610. I'm wondering if it will be too loud to use in my townhouse and if it will sound good with the master turned down so I can stay under 90db. How is the reliability?

I've heard the amp, and it's excellent.

The amp sounds a lot better than the demo indicates.

As to how effective the MV is, I have no idea.

The reliability should be good. The construction on the American PRS amps is, at worst, semi-hand wired with very robust 1-2 layer circuit boards, chassis mounted pots & tube sockets with good components.

Fortunately it's local so you can try out the MV and get a feel for the amp in person. If it's in good shape, $610 is a great price.
