The PRS HDRX 20 captures the flexibility, power, and balance of the British-inspired sound of the late 60s in a lower wattage package. The PRS HDRX 20 features a newly documented "Authentic Hendrix" touring circuit. This circuit is heavily inspired by one of Hendrix's personal amps, said to have been used at Woodstock, which Paul Reed Smith and PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell were able to study in 2018.

The PRS HDRX is designed to push high frequencies so that it's very clear, but not so much that it.
