Ask anyone who owns a PRISM and they'll most likely tell you that their favorite mode of the PRISM is the AMP MODE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince we released the PRISM in 2016, we have been inundated with requests to come out with a stand-alone product based on the AMP MODE of the PRISM. You asked and we listened!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAMP MODE OVERVIEW\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMP MODE circuit is based on a MOSFET transistor which is a very popular type of transistor to use for boost circuits because it has many “amp like” characteristics when it clips etc. There can be downsides to this circuit though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral very popular MOSFET boost circuits on the market have a very noticeable crackle when their boost knobs are rotated. We fixed this issue in the AMP MODE so it is perfectly silent when the boost knob is rotated and delivers nothing but a crushingly loud and harmonically rich boost!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the AMP MODE as a preamp for your overall signal, a boost to push an overdrive pedal even further into saturation, or as a post overdrive boost to clarify and push your guitar forward in the mix! The AMP MODE features 9-18V operation, true bypass switching and a tiny footprint featuring top mounted jacks!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTONE TIP!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"One of the most powerful things about the AMP MODE is how well it stacks with other pedals as well as it self! For years I have run two MOSFET boosts on my pedalboard with a Klon in between them. I used one of the boosts as an always on boost, and added a second boost when I wanted an overdriven rhythm tone. Finally when I wanted a saturated lead tone I would kick on the Klon and the two boosts along with the Klon would give me a super articulate and saturated lead tone.\" - Brad Jackson \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBOOST CONTROL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single boost control sets the overall boost for the AMP MODE. The AMP MODE is a true boost in that when the boost control is fully counter-clockwise, it doesn't boost your signal, it instead acts as a unity gain buffer that emboldens your guitars signal to prevent against tonal loss when drive long cables etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDC INPUT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMP MODE can safely run from 9V-18V DC (center negative). Running it at 18V will give increased headroom and dynamic response. Do NOT exceed 18V!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBYPASS SWITCH\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BYPASS SWITCH is a mechanical true bypass switch. \u003c\/p\u003eMOSFET Boost Circuit: Features the exact same AMP MODE circuit found in the best-selling PRISM Preamp, delivering amp-like, harmonically rich boost tones.Silent Operation: Unlike many MOSFET boosts, the AMP MODE’s boost knob is perfectly silent when rotated—no unwanted crackle, just pure, powerful boost.Versatile Applications: Use as a preamp to strengthen your signal, a boost to push overdrive pedals into saturation, or a post-overdrive boost to clarify and elevate your guitar in the mix.Stacks Perfectly: Designed to stack seamlessly with other pedals—or even with itself—for layered, articulate tones from clean boost to saturated lead.Boost Control: Single knob sets the overall boost. At minimum, it acts as a unity gain buffer to preserve your tone over long cable runs.True Bypass Switching: Mechanical true bypass ensures your signal remains pure when the pedal is off.Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 9V to 18V DC (center negative) for increased headroom and dynamic response at higher voltage.

Since many guitarists will swap guitars but keep the same pedalboard and amp, we wanted to create a tool that would allow the players to re-voice their rigs for the guitar chosen and the +\/-15dB active EQ in the PRISM accomplishes this with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis active EQ gives an incredible amount of tonal control and range and has ZERO interaction between the BODY and TONE controls. Having ZERO interaction means as the player adjusts the TONE it will only adjust the high frequency response and not cause the low frequencies to shift and the same is true for the BODY control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most useful feature of the active EQ in the PRISM is that when placed at the front of the players rig and used as a master EQ, the PRISM will allow the player to dial in their tone using ONE pedal and will prevent them from having to adjust the EQ of every pedal in their rig when changing guitars, amps or venues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBOOST\/PREAMP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a boost\/preamp the PRISM contains three of the most distinct voices of boosts available. A transparent clean boost with no tonal coloring (TRANS), a boost that emulates a vacuum tube amp (AMP) and finally the boost circuit that started it all, the silicon treble booster (COLOR). These three circuits represent over 50 years of guitar effects from the earliest guitar pedal ever made to the more modern transparent voiced circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach boost\/preamp circuit in the PRISM is totally discrete and shares ZERO circuitry with the other boost circuits. We did this so that each circuit would be completely true to its own voice and not have to compromise its sound for the sake of cost cutting or space economy. In fact every circuit is contained in its own true bypass loop so there is never any additional circuitry in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally most players will use a boost\/preamp pedal to drive the front end of a tube amp into overdrive and the PRISM does this very well given its huge amount of output however we encourage players to experiment by placing the PRISM at the front of their pedalboards and enjoy the host of new tones available as the PRISM boosts their existing pedals!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: To take full advantage of the PRISM we recommend placing it first in the signal chain as its active EQ will be most effective in that position and the treble booster circuit (COLOR) works best when connected directly to the guitars output. Treble booster circuits in general are known for cleaning up very dramatically when rolling back the volume control on the guitar and the PRISM is no different. For these reasons we recommend that the PRISM be placed first in the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBUFFER\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PRISM is a true bypass pedal featuring our own silent switching circuitry and uses relays with a soft touch momentary contact footswitch to accomplish the bypass.
