Jesus would play a frankenstrat that some savant old man built, into a Metalzone that some savant teen modified into a power amp some savant kid built into a cab some other middle aged savant built.

yes, indeed, and don't forget that his amp would have been soaked in a fine Egyptian bitumen emulsion to waterproof the exterior of the cabinet for riffs during all the Baptisms...

haha. nice. I don't doubt your assessment BTW.

I've never owned anything PRS -probably because of Nu Metal and Creed etched in my nightmares -BUT it is undoubtably quality stuff and PRS is a quality dude with a great mind for innovation and improvement.

Paul R. Smith : Salesman.

I mean, since this amp comparison has been contextualized, isn't this really about which amp Jesus is into?

Pretty sure he's got a leg up on the competition. Jesus' greatest miracle of all . . . transforming a Metal Zone into a Crate amp into something listenable.

Paul made some beautiful guitars, especially the early handmade ones, they aren't my cup o' tea, but glossing over a lot here.

Yeah, I'd say thats a bit harsh.

PRS, is not just a salesman, I mean he's the godfather of the Nu Metal Guitar and the sound of Creed and Nickelback and the guitar that every Dentist gets after each unnecessary root canal they pass off to Oral Surgeon for a kickback (That's an actual proven thing by the way -similar to unnecessary C section industry that started around the same time)

Add one thing Paul was a smart enough business man to hire a brilliant amp designer to build his amps in Sewell.
And PRS is no slouch as a guitar designer. Got his start doing repairs and started modding then building. In other words came up the same way as Randall Smith. Was smart enough this time to find a real genius in an amp designer to build the amps for him. His first attempts in amps were rather dismal. Was working in a dealer when they released the Harmonic Generators in the late 80's and we had a rep come by with one to try:barf:.

Randall Smith as a kid started building HAMM radios from scratch & was mentored by a man who built classified technology for the US NAVY Nuclear Submarine program [thee very first Nuclear Sub Nautilus SSN-571]. Randall Smith is also credited with the first Master Volume & cascaded Preamp 10 years before Marshall or any other amplifier/Engineer did. And MESA has many other patents & revolutionary amplifier designs.
Mike Soldano based the first SLO design on a MESA Mark Series amplifier as well.
Im not impressed with PRS amp/guitar/products nor have i ever been.
Were all different Bro.
When Paul tried to spin the J-Mod/Mayer amp as the greatest thing on the planet thats when i lost all respect for PRS period. Too much fiction.
That amp was so much to do about nothing & drenched in cheesy sales & promo bling you literally have to be the stupidest person on the earth to fall for that.
In your opinion PRS slays your MESA.
Unfortunately for you perception is not reality on par with the world view.
But im sure your PRS stuff makes good conversation at your church with the other "christian" folk.
Meanwhile back @ the ranch Paul Reed is on the TV circuit telling everyone how great his products are & Randall Smith is in his amp lab creating more revolutionary designs one at a time.

Whoah, let's get back to what matters -Jesus' preference

And his preference is to not have false idols -and PRS puts his full name on the amp name plate....

-whereas Randall Smith chose in a name to described the topograpy of the desert environment -much like the plateaus in Ancient Judea and much like the fortress of Masada. combined with the lesson you are going to learn from the audible parable this amp is going to tell. -it boogies...

Once again Jesus pics Mesa Boogie and leaves the PRS amps to the the likes of Haman, Pharoah, Abimelich, and Herod -you know,... Blues Lawyers who commit atrocities..

Satan also pics Mesa BTW -I mean he's in the know -he used to hang in heaven.

Jesus plays through a Metalzone. Into a Behrenger Stack.
And he chugs.

There’s a little known anecdote about Jesus trying to put a band together. He went down to the Troubador and said to a dozen shredders, “Follow me and I will make you melters of face.” They all said, “Whut? Naw, we’re good bro. Been there, done that.” So Jesus decided to go with the plan-B fishing idea. But on his way out, he turned to Satan and said, “Dude, you can have ‘em.” ...and the rest is history.

Re: Well have come to the conclusion that my PRS amps absolutely kill my Boogies live

Lets get to the root of why I have had a love hate relationship with Boogies for years. Played Marshall most of my playing time on stage and run few effects. Ran JCM 900 MK III Dual Master Volume variants probably the most in fact. No reverb no channel switching other than the second master for setting different volume levels and ran few effects.
I find Mesa Boogies to be very stiff and cold feeling and not well suited to dynamic playing with few or no effects in comparison to other amps like the PRS amps I'm running Marshalls or something like a Zinky, Soldano or Splawn. The Boogies however are fantastic if your running a lot of effects in particular in the loop as they keep clarity and dynamics in that situation better than most other amps. That plus in my experience the are very solidly built quiet, roadworthy amps that are also very consistent night after night. In all this my old trusty Mesa Subway Rocket combo is not going anywhere as it serves a purpose for me playing modern worship and having to run a lot of effects at times that nothing else Ii have ever owned has been better at. On the other hand for the bigger rigs where I am running fewer effects and relying more on touch dynamics and feel to get different tones a Boogie frustrates me to no end. These Sewell designed PRS amps are simply the best at this I have ever played so prefer them.
Frankly don't give a rip about the name on the front panel as much as do they perform are they quiet and are they reliable? These newer PRS Sewell designed amps do all 3 as well or better for me than anything I have ever played through and no apologies for loving um!

Wouldn't be to quick to discount a lot of the Christian duds as shredders I have crossed paths with over the years doing the White metal thing. Know a few ( some of them quite personally in fact) who might just rip your head off and drop your jaw!
Case in point

Yeah it was just a joke. Most people know me by now, but occasionally I still have to ‘splain.

I have to admit, I was surprised. that's a pretty good version of throw back 80s style metal band .... White Metal or not.

Not my thing, but I recognize a good effort.
