Suhr PT15

Suhr-Tainly Excellent

Wildwoodians, we are proud to present the Pete Thorn PT15, because it is a truly beautiful machine. It’s one of the most inspiring, versatile tube amps out there. A big part of the PT15’s magic is its three-channel configuration. Each channel has a lot to offer, and you can use the controls to dial in a wide variety of killer tones with ease and toggle between them on the fly using the included footswitch. You’ll be amazed at all the sounds you can wring out of the five 12ax7 preamp tubes and the two 6v6 power tubes merely by tweaking a few knobs. It’s also quite powerful for a 15-watt amp, so each channel has no shortage of volume.

The first channel has a classic American voicing with tons of clean headroom. You can quite easily dial in a warm, woody, midrange-forward clean sound or get some classic jangle and sparkle out of it, but it’s not just a clean channel. When you crank it up, you can find a sweet spot where the amp is just on the edge of full-on breakup, and if you go past that point, you get glorious beefy vintage crunch. On cleaner settings, it also works marvelously as a pedal platform if you want to get some dirt from your stompboxes.

Channel 2 and 3 are voiced the exact same way so that you can use one as a distorted rhythm tone and one as a distorted lead tone (or have two distorted rhythm tones, or two distorted lead tone--whatever floats your boat!). Both have a British voicing, and you can use them to conjure everything from vintage low- and mid-gain crunch to hard-edged rock to modern high-gain sounds. No matter where you set the gain, the PT15 maintains exceptional articulation and clarity.

Truly, the PT15 is a sonic Swiss Army knife, but you don’t have to spend hours in the lab tweaking things to access its full functionality. The controls for each channel are simple and intuitive, and they make it easy for the player to unlock all sorts of killer sounds.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

We are proud to present the Suhr PT15 because it’s a savage beast that can wreak sonic havoc in all sorts of fresh, exciting ways. Even if you never use its revolutionary technology, it’s a versatile amp that allows you to cover vast swathes of sonic territory with its easy, intuitive controls. Whether you’re looking for a killer bedroom amp, a studio stalwart, a live workhorse, or all three, the Suhr PT15 will get the job done with great aplomb. We invite you to take one for a spin and a whole new world of glorious guitar tone.
