    Paul Reed Smith may hate pedals, but his first foray into the realm delivers nothing but gems.
    Inside each box containing a brand new PRS pedal, there’s a little fold-out card with a picture of Paul Reed Smith and a simple caption: “I hate pedals.” It’s not hard to imagine Smith’s indifference to stompboxes. PRS guitars are immaculately executed, ultra-playable instruments that reflect a focus on elemental interactions between fingers, strings, and fretboard. Indeed, for much of Paul Reed Smith’s career, stompboxes were probably held in the same regard as a broken toaster-a needless impediment to the communication of unadulterated tone.
    Certainly, there is a visceral thrill to playing a guitar without effects-particularly one as nice as the average PRS. But while that’s true, stompboxes are, to many musicians, equally artful and thrilling vehicles of expression. And more than a few pedals have done their magic with a PRS guitar at the other end of a cable.
    PRS’ three debut pedals-an optical compressor, overdrive, and dual flanger-do not feel like willy-nilly concessions to market pressures. In fact, in keeping with PRS tradition and ethos, these pedals seem selected and designed to offer minimal intrusion on the guitar/amp relationship if the player chooses that route. But they also have the bandwidth to be bold and even positively extroverted. Unsurprisingly, they are also built to a very high standard of quality and reflect an intense attention to detail.

    Hi John, love your videos. In this video I could not believe my ears when you played/picked notes/chord pattern; which is the verse of one of my original songs when you were demoing the overdrive. 😀

    Well, you can't go very wrong with an optical compressor but Paul has got this one really great - the gain reduction range is just right, so that you can't actually go to the squashing and/or pumping area! And the dual flanger is also amazing at any of its settings, especially when run properly which is before any kind of overdrive or distortion! The sound is airy but smooth, and NOT like the thin and really ugly sound of the '80s poodle-hair guys which no one wants to hear any more - they all used modulation effects after the drive devices and that's obviously far from right ;-) Then we go the Horsemeat overdrive which sounds exactly like Paul RS promises - natural no matter how aggressive you set it! So, my best compliments to Paul for his work and dedication to guitar, and to my friend John for his mastery and knowledge allowing him to explain and demonstrate any piece of guitar oriented device!

    @izzyizborn Год назад +1

    Great tones overall. Forget the naming.. what, I think, should have been reconsidered is the placement of the flanger "mix" knob. To put a rotary knob where a footswitch would typically go, well that breakage is only a matter of time for anyone that gigs, jams, steps..

    How are they built? Component leads soldered to an eyelet PCB or surface mounted components? At these prices I'd expect hand soldering/wiring of quality components.
