PRS makes pedals now

Mystery meat is my suggestion for the project when it’s been traced. Still can’t believe the names are real and not an April fools day joke.
 
Does make me wonder: apparently the comp is based on the LA2A. Maybe a silly question but are there any PCBs available here in that “family”?
 
Horsemeat always gave Paul massive wind. His dentist once referred to it as persistent flatulence, as the odor wafted around the bolt-on chair, disrupting their root canal session in the process.

One day, as they sauntered through the trees under the clear silver sky of the South East, Mary was caught off guard by a particularly loud and potent fart that Paul had been holding in his core, released from his private stock of opinionated gas, and she cried "What is this Pretty Rank Smell?!"
 
Well unlike a lot of the posts here I like Paul and PRS guitars. Like it or not Paul was directly responsible for Fender and Gibson upping their game (maybe only a bit in gibsons case).

He's super passionate and really friendly and will talk guitars with anyone. I've met him twice when he's been giving talks at guitar stores in England. He delved into detail on any topic people wanted to discuss and hung around for several hours after, just talking to anyone who stayed about anything guitar related. There was a amateur guitar builder who was asking some questions and when Paul found out he had one of his guitars with him he asked him to go get it, then spent ages going over details with the guy giving him some advice and tips.

Personally I think the names of these pedals are pretty terrible but I'd be surprised if they weren't very well made and I'm guess they won't be straight up clones of anything. I'm looking forward to seeing what @Robert finds when he traces them.
 
I get the PRS Hate that seems prevalent. PRS tends to be a polarizing brand.

I have some personal history with Paul that goes way back when we were both just punks in the Washington DC area. So there's always a soft spot in my heart for the "local kid does good" aspect. I guess I don't see them so much as the conglomerate they've become.

Having said that, I've become less and less enamored with the "blingy" type guitars and my 594 is the last "bling" guitar that I own.
I really like the more quirky models (Like the Vela and Starla) and I think the SE's are just excellent guitars all around.

The S2 line is kind of a sweet spot for me. I've got my eye out for a decent used S2 Mira Semi-hollow or S2 Studio. There really hasn't been anything in the Core line that has interested me in quite some time. Although, maybe a Gold top MCarty with P90's........ :p . But that's only because I watch too much of That Pedal Show and Mick has one........

I have zero interest in retail pedals, PRS or otherwise.....my motto of "DIY or DIE" continues to hold....hahah.
I'd love to see what the compressor is all about though.

I'm really not a fan of blingy prs either though that includes any brand with obscenely flamey or quilted maple tops. My prs of choice have always been 22 fret, double cuts with trems, moons and solid finishes. Though I do love the maple reveal binding.

PRS are unique ,Well built guitars & Paul is passionate about his Products!
I'm personally not into that type of Bling or the Price that comes with it.
I love Telecasters & own 3 styles, One is Fender Japan, Aash Natural Tint, One is a Customized J.D Luthiers Alder Natural with Little '59's Split & Artist TL69BLND Thinline, Mahogany Body, Maple Neck, Humbuckers Split!
I would not own any Guitar with a Flame top, just isn't me!

I have no plans to purchase any of these PRS pedals coz the design is so wrong & who knows why you would call a pedal Horsemeat????

That's why we have PedalPCB & we can build it the Right way & our Artwork!!!
 
Love the graphics. Paul seems like a nice guy.

My internal marketing BS meter pegged into the red when he said "throaty" and "germanium."

It was pretty funny to hear him talk such a mean game, then play 3 pedals that sound exactly like every other flanger, compressor, and overdrive out there. But I can guarantee the hype will work with the folks at TGP. The psychoacoustic effect of pairing subjective words with pedals imparts magical thinking. They'll buy them like hotcakes, swear by them publically to get other people on the bandwagon, convince themselves these are great, sell their Klons.

In 18 months, they'll be buying the next big thing and posting about how they regret selling their Klons.
 
I think that PRS has a lot of passion about making quality instruments and equipment. I like me a good flame on a neck through as well.

I have a McCarty that took a long time to bond with (like 15 years!) but I couldn't part with it now. Unique voice and great playability.

There were some YT videos with the amp designer in PRS which really impressed me as well, a lot of thought gone into their designs.

I'm interested to see what's gone into the pedals.
 
I don't like PRS guitars for the looks alone, too modern and too fancy for me, but guitar tech Dave on Youtube has had maybe one PRS to service in 10+ years of videos. That's really something. When John Mayer said he can walk into any store and pick up a Silver Sky off the shelf and it will be the same as any other I believe him.

But who needs another overdrive pedal besides the loons at TGP? :)

That would be Doug Sewell, who was an OG booteek amp builder in his own right back in the day. One thing I can say about Paul is that he supplements what he doesn't know through his partnerships. Like Doug, and early on he brought in Dana Bourgeois to help teach him about acoustic guitar building and tap tones for woods.
 
I have nothing against PRS the person. As for the company, they definitely provide a service: those mid-life crises ain’t gonna cure themselves…
There are products for every life-stage crisis! :D I remember wanting brand-name shoes as a teenager..
