Jackson Audio Prism

[MichaelW]

Been meaning to add this to the wishlist but keep forgetting.
The Modus Operandi is hands down my favorite boost pedal.

Makes me wonder what the whole Prism sounds like. Seems like a really nice compact tone shaper.

PRISM

PRISM OVERVIEW The PRISM was designed using a systems approach to tone shaping. While the PRISM contains many features and circuits, those circuits are precisely crafted to work in harmony with each other to create a unique tone shaping tool with unrivaled flexibility and performance! Housed in...

And if you build it, you don't have to buy anything from Jackson audio

 

[MichaelW]

I don't buy any pedals from ANYONE anymore heh.

Why? What's the deal with Jackson? I don't know anything about them. Are they total tools?

Seemingly zero QC (see @Robert workbench post of the silvertone pedal), abysmal customer service

Yeah that's the one

I’d be down, the Modus kicks any other boost off my board on a regular basis.

I bought one of these not too long ago. Unfortunately, the one I got was dead on arrival. Returned it and didn't bother ordering another one. Only reason I got it was so I could compare it to the Source Audio ZIO I got some weeks prior.

The ZIO is very similar to the Prism. Based on various demos and reviews, I pretty much have dismissed the Prism. Just seems like the ZIO offers a lot more flexibility. The Prism is a bit more simplified so I'm very curious if a trace of it reveals a circuit that's not terribly complicated. Given that the ZIO is like 4 different circuits in one, I would imagine the Prism would be easier to replicate.

My understanding is that the Prism is also three separate circuits. There are three relays which I assume are responsible for switching between them.

Shore lurks purdy!

Anudder 'n for Our Robert to fix afore he ken terrace it?

Prism is here. It was working great, and then it wasn't.

The footswitch just stopped working out of nowhere. Did I break it? What the hell?

Come on guys.... come on.....

I only saw this and the silvertone one, was the amp mode fully functional or are you 3/3?

 

[jimilee]

Soldering is a last resort. Zip ties all the way.

 

[Robert]

I had no issues with the Amp Mode or Fuzz, so 2/4.

That looks an awful lot like this.......



Maybe I can get a job there?.........

They must be saving a fortune on solder
