World renowned guitarist Peter Thorn, is not only known for his touring/session work , but he is also considered by the guitarist community to be one of the foremost authorities on tone. Boasting three channels of tube-fueled tone, the Suhr PT15 I.R. leverages Pete Thorn's significant tonal expertise.
PT-15 I.R. Pete Thorn Signature, 15W (UK), 240V
PT15 I.R. marries the best of what analog and digital have to offer. Equipped with our industry-standard reactive load, PT15 I.R. can be safely operated with no speaker connected. Impulse Responses are the most accurate way of replicating the sound of a speaker cabinet and microphone, virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Use the line output to get huge mic’ed-up tone directly into your DAW, PA, or headphones.
PT15 I.R. features channel-assignable impulse responses which are a breakthrough for live performance, letting you change the cabinet I.R. along with the channels of the amp. You can choose to play the amp silently on stage, or have a cabinet for stage volume while using the I.R. output to avoid the hassle, inconsistency, and bleed from mic’ing a cabinet. In the studio, you have the option of using the line output without an I.R. which gives you the flexibility to process impulse responses in your DAW.
PRE-LOADED WITH SUHR CABINETS
The PT15 I.R. comes loaded with 16 impulse responses of Suhr speaker cabinets. Six of the impulse responses are custom blends made by Pete Thorn himself. Because it is an open system, you can also load your own third-party IRs into the amplifier via USB.
Each of the three amp channels can be assigned its own unique impulse response. This means, for example, you could assign an open back 2×12 to your clean channel and two different closed-back 4x12s for your lead channels. It’s like bringing an arsenal of cabinets to the gig.
THE BEST PARTNER IN THE BEDROOM
Simply connect your headphones to the front of the amp, select an IR, and practice silently with no speaker cabinet required. Connect any stereo 1/8″ audio source to the AUX IN connection and you’ll hear the IR processed signal along with your backing tracks through the headphones.
