PRS HDRX 50 50W Tube Guitar Amplifier with PRS Hendrix Circuit

PRS HDRX 50 captures the flexibility and balance of late 60s British-inspired tone in a powerful 50-watt amplifier. A continuation of PRS's popular HXDA amplifiers, PRS HDRX amps feature a refined control layout and a 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 able to study in 2018.

  • 50 watts
  • PRS 'Hendrix' circuit
  • EL34 power tubes
  • Custom-designed Straight Edge output transformer
  • Controls that mirror Hendrix reference amp
  • Internally bridged channels with individual volume controls
  • Black tolex covering, piping and trim panel

 

Designed to push the high end so it's very clear but not so much that it's harsh, PRS HDRX shines without glaring and allows for aggression that can be backed off for smooth, sweet tones. HDRX 50 is driven by a pair of EL34EH power tubes, the best preamp tubes available, and a custom-designed Straight Edge output transformer. HDRX 50 has the documented 100-watt power supply, which makes it sound much closer to the reference 100-watt amplifier than a normal 50-watt amp. The power supply and filament design also make the HDRX 50 remarkably quiet with little to no amp hum or hiss.

PRS HDRX 50 features a 3-band TMB tone stack, 3-way bright switch, high-mid gain switch and presence controls. These features mirror the historic amp and give players flexibility and increased control of their tone. HDRX 50 is also designed with internally bridged channels with individual volume controls. This eliminates the need for a jumper cable (historically used on the outside of the amp) and allows players to more easily dial in their distortion level and tone by blending the lead and bass channels' individual volume controls, bringing more modern convenience to the amp.

Made in the PRS Guitars Stevensville, Maryland, USA factory, PRS HDRX amps are an exhaustive recreation of tone, a celebration of history and a monument to modern technology. PRS has also designed matching 2×12 and 4×12 cabinets for the HDRX amp family (sold separately). Loaded with modified Celestion G12H-75 Creamback speakers, these cabinets push and punch to complete the package.
