The A+Prism IIis a new version of the Prism-9 complex effect pedal. Combining multiple techniques in a single unit, the device employs an outside-the-box approach to sound processing. The Prism II is comprised of subtractive and additive synthesis elements along with reverberation and various types of modulation (frequency, temporal and spatial). Rather than being lined up in a typical linear fashion, all parts of the system form a single "organism", allowing multiple parameters to be tweaked simultaneously. You could try and replicate it by using a chain of multiple time-synced effects — but that would be no easy feat, as the Prism II has 3 pitch shifting sections, 4 multimode filters, 2 modulation blocks, and a single reverb section. All the elements are organized in two identical chains (as the device works in stereo) with a separate mix section at each stage. The pedal's four LFOs provide extensive control over the stereo field and filter automation. The Prism II can be controlled via the TAP footswitch or synced to an external clock. Additionally, the device offers an expression pedal simulation mode along with a DETUNE function.
The Prism II is a compact inspiration generator which can single-handedly replace a sizable Eurorack system. In the guitar world, fully replicating the effect would be difficult even with a huge pedalboard.
The effect was inspired by various principles of sound synthesis, which have been present since the 70s but still aren't widely spread beyond fully-equipped professional studios. The Prism II is a one-of-a-kind pedal which can work with any instrument such as guitar, bass, mono- or polysynth, vocals or drums.
