After solidifying a very strong reputation in building quality electric guitars, followed by acoustic guitars and amps, Paul Reed Smith and Co. set their sights on the pedal market. Enter the PRS Horsemeat transparent overdrive pedal – a from-scratch circuit designed and assembled in the U.S.A. that, as its name suggests, is a transparent overdrive crafted to improve the guitar's tone without coloring it.
As Smith aptly puts it, “Horsemeat sounds a lot like a good amp." What he means by this is that it gives throatiness without sounding too high-pitched or nasal, boosting both the low- and high-end frequencies while offering a tad more headroom – all controlled via a straightforward selection of controls – Gain, Level, Voice, Treble, and Bass – that very much do the job.
