PRS HDRX 20 Amp Paul Reed Smith Guitars ( PRS ) launched the HDRX amp family in the summer of 2021 with both 100- and 50-watt heads and has now introduced the PRS HDRX 20 . This lower-wattage HDRX amp features PRS ’ s newly documented “ Authentic Hendrix ” Touring Circuit . This circuit is heavily inspired by one of Hendrix ’ s personal amps , purportedly used at Woodstock , which Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell were e able to study in 2018 .
Designed to push the high-end so it is clear , but not so much that it ’ s harsh , the PRS HDRX allows for thick yet articulate aggression that can be backed off for smoother tones . In this lower-wattage package , the HDRX 20 breaks up beautifully at more usable volumes . The addition of a Master Volume control on the HDRX 20 , a new feature for HDRX amps , is another modern convenience . Players can use the Master Volume to control the power amp section of the HDRX , making it more user friendly for players who do not want to add a volume attenuator to their setup . The PRS HDRX 20 also features a three-band TMB tone stack , two-way bright switch , high-mid gain switch , and presence controls ols and is designed with internally bridged channels with individual treble and bass volume controls , eliminating the need for a jumper cable .
