Complete with its sleek black finish the HDRX 20 brings one of guitardoms most sought-after sounds in a price that wont break the bank.
The Authentic Hendrix Touring Circuit The Authentic Hendrix Touring Circuit is a newly-documented circuit that heavily inspired the design of the PRS HDRX 20 “Hendrix” Circuit Head. This circuit was purportedly used by Jimi Hendrix himself at Woodstock and was studied by Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell in 2018. The resulting design captures the flexibility power and balance of Hendrixs late-60s British-inspired tone in a lower wattage package. The circuit is designed to push the high-end so it is clear but not overly harsh allowing the player to achieve aggressive tones that can be backed off for smooth sweet sounds. Complete Control Over Your Sound The PRS HDRX 20 “Hendrix” Circuit Head offers players complete control over their sound with a range of versatile controls. The amp features a 3-band TMB tone stack allowing players to adjust the bass middle and treble frequencies to achieve their perfect tone. The 2-way bright switch can be turned off for a warmer tone or on to add extra sparkle and clarity to your sound. The high-mid gain switch adds even more tonal flexibility allowing players to choose between a warmer mellow tone or a brighter and more aggressive tone.In addition to these controls the amp also features presence controls which allow you to adjust the overall brightness and clarity of your sound. The internally bridged channels with individual treble and bass volume controls eliminate the need for a jumper cable and make it easy for players to dial in their distortion level and tone. The addition of a Master Volume control also makes it more user-friendly for players who do not want to add a volume attenuator to their setup. With all of these controls at your fingertips youll be able to achieve your ideal sound with ease.
