I'm looking at picking up one of these amps tomorrow for $750. I've been intrigued for a while, and after owning my MT15, I'm a believer in PRS's ability to build a good high gain amp.

My question is, what is the build quality on these things? I had a friend who owned one and had some serious issues with it, although I can't remember what they were but they required extensive repair. While talking to another person about the amp, they asked if that was the one with build quality issues.

Are these amps known for having issues? I'm getting a good deal, but also don't want to have to stick another $200 into repairs after I buy it.
 
The only issue that I'm aware of was shitty effects loops pre-2016 i think. The loop was noisy and there was a hum issue if i remember correctly. The Archon 50 is one of those amps I had and sold and still regret. They are that good.
