The PRS HX amplifiers capture the flexibility, power, and balance of late 60’s British-inspired tone. A continuation of PRS’s popular HXDA amplifiers, PRS HX amps feature a refined control layout and a newly-documented “Authentic Hendrix” Touring Circuit.

This circuit is heavily inspired by one of Hendrix’s personal amps, purportedly used at Woodstock, which Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell were able to study in 2018. Made in PRS Guitars Stevensville, Maryland, USA factory, PRS HX amps are an exhaustive recreation of tone, a celebration of history, and a monument to modern technology.
