Paul Reed Smith has added another amplifier to their line up high-end tube amps.  The most recent addition is the PRS Sweet 16.  The new amp has 16 watts of cathode-biased 6V6 output tube power with features usually found on larger amps such as reverb, a full TMB tone stack, and Paul Reed Smith’s transparent PRS master volume circuit.

PRS also has released a matching cabinet that comes in 1×12 and 2×12. Controls include bright switch, volume, reverb, treble, mid, bass, and master volume. All amps are hand wired in Stevensville, Maryland using hybrid circuitry techniques for consistency and durability.

Here are some of the details on the parts: power sections employ JJs 6V6 power tubes.  They are cathode-biased to near class A, in a push-pull configuration.  The four preamp tubes include two NOS Philips 12AT7s, a JJs ECC83S, and a Tung Sol Reissue 12AX7s.  Full press release is here.

The GearPage.net has a review up already, presummably from someone that had early access since it’s dated back in August 2009.
