Step inside Premier Guitar’s magical, miraculous time machine and revisit the gear that stood head and shoulders above the rest as Premier Gear Award winners in 2018.
Paul Reed Smith Mark Tremonti MT15
Mark Tremonti’s new PRS amp packs the guitarist’s incendiary high-gain tones into a compact, low-wattage lunchbox head and Celestion Vintage 30 1x12 cab for rehearsal, studio, and small-club use. The 15-watt, dual-6L6 head delivers surprising volume and punching power—enough to play un-miked with a loud drummer. Between the scorching lead tones and girthy low end, the MT15 is a must-try for any rocker seeking a fierce, compact tube rig.
$649 (amp), $389 (cab) street
