Description

The PRS Tempest GS 50 50-watt Tube Amp Head is a masterful blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, crafted to deliver a sonic experience like no other. With its black-panel-inspired preamp channeling the iconic sounds of 1960s California, this amplifier offers a wide array of tones—from crystal-clear cleans to robust, edge-of-breakup textures. The British-inspired EL34 power stage infuses your sound with that unmistakable UK grit, perfect for players seeking both clarity and punch.

At the heart of the Tempest GS 50 is a D-style Gain Stage, which introduces an extra tube for enriched overtones and exquisite saturation, ensuring your solos cut through with authority. The interactive 3-band EQ and Bright switch allow you to fine-tune your tone effortlessly, while a post-phase inverter Master Volume ensures you can achieve that saturated tube sound even at lower volumes.

For those who love effects, the MOSFET-driven effects loop offers pristine transparency, integrating seamlessly with your pedalboard. Whether you're jamming in the studio or performing on stage, the Tempest GS 50 provides uncompromised versatility with its footswitchable spring reverb and gain stage.

This amp head not only captures the essence of classic amplifiers but also propels it into a future of limitless tonal possibilities.
