PRS Guitars Sonzera Series Guitar Amplifiers

PRS Guitars has introduced the Sonzera Series of guitar amplifiers , which consists of the Sonzera 50 W combo , Sonzera 50 W head , and Sonzera 20 W combo . The Sonzera amplifiers feature a steel chassis , custom transformers , and a twin channel layout with independent controls that deliver a wide variety of tones from clean to overdrive .
The 3D clean channel is combined with a three-spring reverb . The lead channel ’ s circuit design makes it easy to set up the lead channel to act like a boosted clean channel if so desired . Conversely , the tone controls can also be manipulated to make the channels sound like two different amplifiers . The bright switch feature helps deliver familiar high-end snap , while the presence control and independent EQ for each channel allow players to quickly dial in a classic bell-like chime or warmer tones at bedroom levels , on stage , or in the studio .
