Our take

Who this one is for

The HDRX 50 is a 50-watt, late-60s British-inspired head built at PRS's Stevensville, Maryland factory. It carries on from PRS's HXDA amps with the "Authentic Hendrix" Touring Circuit, based on a Hendrix amp PRS studied in 2018 that is said to have been used at Woodstock.

Two EL34s drive a custom Straight Edge 50-watt output transformer. PRS designed the power supply to mimic the 100-watt amp's, and says that puts the HDRX 50 closer to the HDRX 100 in output and character than a typical 50. The channels are bridged internally and blended with the Bass and Treble Volume controls, with a three-way bright switch, high-mid gain switch and presence alongside the shared EQ.

There is no master volume, in keeping with the original, and PRS recommends running it with an attenuator. Pair it with the HDRX 2x12 Cabinet, one of the two Creamback-loaded cabs PRS designed for these heads.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
