The J-MOD 100 Amplifier Controls Explained

Born from passionate people who really love great tone, the J-MOD 100 Amplifier was the result of a close collaboration between PRS and musician John Mayer. While the amp has a relatively simple control layout, it can achieve a wide variety of tones with some easy maneuvering of the controls.

When Paul Smith, John Mayer, and PRS amp designer Doug Sewell set out to create the J-MOD 100, the goal was to create a versatile, beautiful sounding amp that could seamlessly handle not only John Mayer's live work with Dead & Company, but also the recording and performance of his solo material.

The J-MOD 100 features top-of-the-line components, is insanely sturdy to stand-up to a tough touring schedule, and is built on the platform of a single channel with a switchable gain stage and effects loop.

Every J-MOD 100 amp is crafted and quality inspected in our Maryland shop by the PRS amplifier team led by Sr. Amp Designer Doug Sewell.
