Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The HDRX 20 is a seriously good-sounding head from PRS, offering a classic, slightly overdriven tone. It's perfect for players wanting a manageable wattage amp with that authentic tube warmth and PRS’s excellent construction – think blues, rock, and even some lighter jazz. A great option for smaller venues or home recording where a full-stack isn't necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a decent amount of headroom for a 20-watt head, but it's designed to sweeten up quickly, providing a pleasing overdrive at moderate volumes.
5881s are generally available, though not as common as EL84s or 6L6s, so you might have to shop around a bit more.
The amp is designed with an adjustable bias, making it accessible for those with some technical experience, but professional bias adjustment is always recommended for optimal performance.
