NAMM 2015: Mad Professor reveals Old School 51 RT amp | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Mad Professor's Old School 51RT delivers a powerful punch with classic tones that span decades, from shimmering cleans to gritty distortions. Designed for versatility, it shines across genres, making it a solid choice for any guitarist. The built-in reverb and tremolo add a nostalgic touch, enhancing its vintage vibe. However, while it excels at adapting to various styles, some may find the absence of channel switching limiting. Ultimately, the 51RT is a compelling option for those seeking a reliable, tone-rich amplifier that plays well with pedals, but it may not satisfy players who crave extensive tonal options.
