Dreams As the sun tries to peak through the clouds of a cold winter's afternoon, this video is a welcome addition to the day. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3487 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 11:20 am:    Actually, the PRS amp is an old one. PRS briefly entered the amp market, then dropped out. Eric Pritchard, who did the amp designs, now has his own company, Pritchard Amp.

Do you think the PRS amp that Derek is playing through in the promo that Craig linked is the same design? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7370 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 11:45 am:    What I just read on the Pritchard site history page suggests that the PRS amp was indeed solid state. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3488 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 12:39 pm:    Those Pritchard Amps sound very interesting.

They are featured on their website and there are three tube models. It doesn't have much tech info about them, but the preamps are super-simple as far as controls go. crobbins Advanced Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 207 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 7:24 pm:    Here's a link to the PRS website. http://www.prsguitars.com/amps/index.html hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 442 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 9:11 am:    Some time back Premier Guitar reviewed the Pritchard Sword of Satori. They gave it 4 out of 5 stars, but their reason seemed kind of weak to me (i.e., it wasn't a high gain amp. Anyway, you could read the review here: http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2008/Jun/Pritchard_Sword_of_Satori.aspx. gtrguy Intermediate Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 169 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 9:34 am:    I had a friend that bought one of the original PRS amps. They only made a few hundred. Frankly, you could just change the name from PRS to POS on those first amps. The factory did not even want to deal with them. Bye, Dave
