Description
Horsemeat sits on your board as the pedal you reach for when you want more amp, not a different amp. PRS built this circuit from the ground up around germanium diodes, chosen specifically to avoid the nasal, brittle edge that some overdrives push into the upper mids. Instead, you get a throaty push that fattens both ends of the spectrum at once—low-end girth and high-end sparkle—while keeping plenty of headroom in reserve so the pedal never feels choked or compressed at higher gain settings.
- Germanium diode clipping for a warm, non-nasal overdrive voice
- Boosts low and high frequencies together for added harmonic richness
- Generous headroom keeps dynamics intact under drive
- Versatile gain range: clean boost, straight overdrive, or amp-pushing gain stage
Because the gain range is so wide, Horsemeat works equally well as a subtle clean boost sitting quietly at the front of your chain, a stand-alone overdrive with real grit, or a preamp nudge that leans into your amp’s own distortion for a bigger, more saturated wall of sound. Paul Reed Smith himself sums it up simply: “Horsemeat sounds a lot like a good amp.”
This is one of PRS’s high-end audio pieces, engineered by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, MD, and built entirely in the USA—a pedal designed for players who want transparency and touch sensitivity from their drive stage, not just more volume.
