Designed from the ground up by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, MD, the Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive takes its inspiration from the legendary gold “mythical” overdrive pedal. Using Germanium diodes, the Horsemeat is designed to enhance your guitar tone without colouring it, producing a satisfying throatiness that is rich in harmonics. By boosting both low and high-end frequencies, the Horsemeat provides more headroom than other overdrive pedals. It can be used as a clean boost for giving your solos a much needed lift, a straight overdrive for crunchy rhythm tones, or to push your already overdriven amp further into saturation.

Accolades

“Horsemeat sounds a lot like a good amp.” – Paul Reed Smith

“I’ve tried just about everyone’s take on the mythical gold pedal that costs more than my first car did, but the Horsemeat is the first to really live up
to the hype. Silky smooth overdrive with a very tweakable EQ section. It’s magical!”
Ben Eller

“Horsemeat is a game changer. It adds exactly the right textures I want from an overdrive pedal without taking away the tone and clarity I want to get out of my instrument and my fingers.”Eric Krasno

PRS

In the current JustPedals catalogue, PRS is represented by Flanger Pedals, Compressor Pedals and Overdrive Pedals. Current listings include Mary Cries Optical Compressor, Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive and Wind Through The Trees Dual Analog Flanger. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add controlled clipping and harmonics while retaining more of the instrument’s attack and dynamics than heavier distortion. They can simulate a pushed valve amp, add a mid lift, tighten the low end or provide a lower-gain always-on voice. Gain, tone, output, presence, bass and clipping options determine how the pedal responds to pickups and the next stage. Before choosing, decide whether it should clean up from the guitar volume, stack with another drive or feed an already driven amplifier.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.
