Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as the greatest guitar player of all time. His revolutionary approach and incredible vision creating a spellbinding magic that even today see's him revered above all others! In '69 Hendrix delivered what is perhaps his most infamous and iconic performance of all time. His tone at Live at Woodstock has been desired and envied by guitarists for generations and now with the brand new PRS HX series of amps you too achieve that classic sound.
The PRS HX 100 captures the flexibility, power, and balance of late 60s British-inspired tone. A continuation of PRSs popular HXDA amplifiers, PRS HX amps feature a refined control layout and a newly-documented "Authentic Hendrix" Touring Circuit. Heavily inspired by one of Hendrix's personal amps used at Woodstock, which Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell have painstakingly analysed.
Designed to push the high-end so it is very clear, but not so much that its harsh, the PRS HX shines without glaring and allows for aggression that can be backed off for smooth, sweet tones. Driven by four New Sensor EL34EH power tubes and a custom designed Straight Edge output transformer.
This awesome amp features a 3-band tone stack, 3-way bright switch, high-mid gain switch and presence controls which mirror the historic amp and giving you incredible control over your sound. It is also designed with internally bridged channels with individual volume controls which eliminates the need for jumper cables and creates an easier experience for players by allowing them to dial in their distortion level and tone by blending both the lead and bass channels individual volume controls.
