OVERVIEW

World renown guitarist Peter Thorn, is not only known for his touring/session work with

legendary artists such as Chris Cornell and Melissa Etheridge, but he is also considered

by the guitarist community to be one of the foremost authorities on tone.

After ve years of extensive road testing and countless hours spent modifying his

original PT-100 amplier, we have created the ultimate, no compromise, multi-channel

amp - now MIDI switchable.

The PT-100 Signature Edition is available in a classic black tolex and appointed with

black knobs and a rich midnight anodized aluminium faceplate.

The Suhr PT-100 Signature Edition is a 100 watt, three-channel tube amplier head

lthat features a custom “Plexi-style” output transformer, four EL-34 power tubes, six

12AX7 preamp tubes, a hybrid/solid-state series/parallel effects loop, and a 4-button

programmable footswitch.
