Preamp Section
The preamp section features four channels each with their own
distinct voicings to provide a vast array of desired tube amp sounds. Each
voicing may be thought of as a channel and each channel has its own
basic gain and master controls with bass, mid, treble and presence controls, all easily
accessible with real amp knobs on the front panel, just like a regular amp
head.
Channel 1 or Clean American, replicates some of the most
sought-after clean vintage tweed amps of the late 50s and 60s.
Channel 2 or Texas Blues, is a vintage tweed with
a bit more kick and bite often heard from the famous southwest
bluesers ala Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray, Eric Johnson, Etc..
Channel 3 or Vintage British, is a traditional
Plexi Style tone offering some of the most dynamic rhythm tone available.
Channel 4 or Mega Drive is considered the Holy
Grail of almighty heavy tone of modern music pumping out everything from early Van Halen
to Ramstein and everything in between.
The preamp section also features a parametric Pre EQ, which
allows you to pre-shape your tone to simulate the characteristics of several
different guitars (such as fine-tuning your Strat to sound more like a Les Paul, Etc) as
well as an additional parametric Post EQ to add extra Lows, High, or scoop out the Mids.
And if thats not enough, we also included a Global Parametric EQ which adjust the
overall output of the Prophesy on all presets.
Effects Section
The effect section of the prophesy is divided up into two
sections, Pre distortion (or pre-preamp), and post distortion (or post preamp) for
unlimited configurations of effects. The pre-effects section features Wah, Compressor,
HUSH(r), Pre-EQ, as well as one assignable effect of your choice. The post-effects section
provides ultra-transparent, high-quality effects which completely preserve the tone of the
preamp-thick reverbs and lush choruses can be used without coloring the sound of the
preamps tone. Four assignable effect blocks allow you to assign 1 effect
pre-preamp and 3 post preamp effects in any order you choose, including Phaser, Flanger,
Chorus, Pitch Shift, Rotary Speaker, Ducker Delay, etc. Prophesy also features a versatile
mixer section to control the mix between dry and wet signal output of every effect used in
the preset.
If the effects in the Prophesy are not enough, we included a true stereo effect loop which
may be assigned anywhere in the effect chain just like an internal effect. Want just an
incredibly powerful effect processor? Just bypass the preamp section completely and use
the Prophesy a stand-alone effect unit.
The ADSR (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release) function features
Rocktrons Pluck Detection patent-pending, and allows you to configure any of the
Prophesy parameters to be controlled dynamically by each pluck of a guitar string.
Other features include a visual representation of the
assigned effects signal chain, preset title, the voicing (channel) being used, are all
conveniently displayed on the first preset page. The buttons in the 16 button matrix show
the effect status (in or out) as well as allow you to instantly jump to those
effects parameter pages for instant adjustment.
Of course, the Prophesy maintains the high quality
operational features that Rocktron processors are well known for, such as glitch-free
preset switching with no signal drop out or lag time and the most natural sounding
effects.
