Been considering one for a home amp. Comparisons to Stealth ? Iconic?
I like bedroom volumes, but I like to crank it up too.
 
It's a cool amp that has a touchy volume knob. Great cleans and high gain, not so great in between stuff. I currently have an Iconic for sale and think it crushes the MT. I also prefer the Iconic to the Stealth.
 
Not a 'home amp' Super loud, hangs with a 4x12 at band volume easily. My conclusion is most of the 15w heads are insanely loud without 'girth' of the bigger iron. I prefer the 1st edition EVH 15w head for the mids. The PT 15 has more of a modern voicing if thats what your after.

Here is when I had one

 
Nice video bro! Good modern sound. So, turning down volume kills the edge? I was really wanting something small'ish, like this or lbx size with a 1x12 or 2x12. Trying to avoid taking up the space of a full sized head & cab.
 
Its a cool amp. Has some recto DNA in it for sure. Lunchbox amp wise, I prefer the EVH LBX stealth more for high gain. MT15 edges it out for having separate clean channel controls. It all depends on what is most important to you.

I agree with you 100%. I haven't played the Iconic or the Stealth but the clean and the heavy is great on the MT, the in between is just so so. Great amp if you're into the heavy stuff it can get very loud too!

You get what you pay for, it's a $400 tube amp..... For me it would be a back up I can throw behind the seat :cool:
 
MT15 keeps up with the stealth no problem. Both sound great and can get quiet or loud.

MT15 absolutely rules. The thing sounds huge and packs a wallop for sure. Like the best of a recto and 5150 maybe is the best way I’d describe it, but it’s definitely unique sounding. For anyone that cares I think the STL tones amphub version of it is completely dead on as well.
 
How's the fx loop? Must people complain that the amp is really noisy
 
The videos that I have seen of the amp sounded pretty darn good.

Mine is very noisy, sounds like a ground loop hum, going to try a hum exterminator. Other than that, the MT-15 is very quiet and sounds really good.
