With the PRS Sonzera 50 Head Paul Reed Smith presents a versatile top with tube amplifier that sounds much bigger than its a price would suggest. The two-channel 50 watt guitar amplifier, whose name derives from the Portuguese word for a particularly cool sound, impresses with a straightforward operating concept that quickly finds the right sound between blues, rock, jazz and metal. In addition, the PRS Sonzera provides an individually adjustable Hall effect for each channel as well as a serial loop-in path.
The two-channel preamplifier of the PRS Sonzera 50 Head works with one JJ ECC835 and three 12AX7 tubes and provides a wide range of sounds for every musical style from blues, rock, jazz and metal. Both the clean and gain channels have their own 3-band tone controls and bright switches for precise sound adjustment. The amp convinces in both channels with a particularly lively dynamics and detail reproduction, which does not distort the instrument character and playing style. In addition, the particularly plastic Hall effect can be set individually for each channel.
The 50 watt Paul Reed Smith Sonzera 50 Head draws sufficient volume reserves from two EL34 output stage tubes for use in the rehearsal room and on stage. The amplifier provides speaker connections for 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm and 16 Ohm, so there are no limits to the choice of a suitable cabinet. By slightly raising the bass foundation in the power amp, the amplifier also delivers a particularly powerful sound that puts every tone played in the best vintage amp tradition with plastic depth into the room.
