The
design of the amplifier demonstration clips tries to give you a glimpse
of amplifier behavior. But a minuscule glimpse is all it is. The number
of possible clips is huge, almost countless. Consider the product of
the numbers of music styles, playing techniques, guitars, speaker configurations,
amplifier voices, and control settings. It is virtually impossible to
hit upon precisely your sound. Although there are many clips of Pritchard
amps available, nothing can replace personal testing. These clips do
not put an instrument in your hands and let you hear what your fingers
are doing. Hopefully, these examples will inspire your personal investigation.
Warning:
Computer speakers do not begin to reproduce these clips properly.
Note: These
clips are not the last word for your purchase - yours is.
These
clips can not show the limits of Pritchard amp's potential. They were
done to provide greater confidence that your personal testing of these
amplifiers will be successful. These clips are not completely representative
of Pritchard amps’ capability. First, Pritchard amps do work excellently
with many instruments besides guitar and harp. They too are in the future.
Second, the playing style and tone settings may not be as you would
do. Third, be aware that recordings have post-playing processing. Please
take these factors into account when listening to these clips.
Clips below are
available as MP3 compressed audio files. Select one of the two bit rates
128Mbs or 64Mbs MP3pro.

Robert Fiester is
an accomplished player of a wide variety of styles. He began playing
in rock bands as a youth, moved into hard rock and then eventually into
the complexities of jazz. I met Robert about 20 years ago. He tested
amp designs that predated the PRS Harmonic Generator and gig-tested
more designs in the years following. He was the primary musician and
spokesman on the Pritchard Amps video. We are quite pleased to present
his interpretations of Pritchard Amps’ capabilities.

The second
group of clips was done at Blue Ribbon Sound and engineered by Roderick
Kohn. The marathon session began with James “T” Stillson
playing rhythm guitar through a Pritchard 1-12 Tunnel Back™ Black
Dagger, Simon Maria playing bass through a Pritchard prototype 4-10/1-5
prototype bass rig, and Ritchie Johnson playing drums. Once all of the
rhythm tracks were done, Miguel Weissman joined in the playback of some
of these tracks by blowing harp and then “T” played lead
guitar for all of the clips below except for the metal clips which were
done by Roderick.
Note: These clips
were all done at small club levels.
