So the Piranha I ordered a good while ago and in tru Jer fashion, it’s been in the shipping box in a closet for like 7 months. I got the Prophesy II about a week or so ago. Both were pretty dirt cheap and I’ve wanted each one for ages.

I gotta say, they both sound killer! The 4 “amp modes” on the Prophesy were designed by Bruce Egnater and are based off the 4 channels of the IE4 preamp.

The key to both of these are the added EQ adjustments. On the Prophesy there’s 2 bands of para EQ then Graphic EQ as well, and on the Piranha you can choose your mids frequency then boost or cut that.

I didn’t know Bruce worked on the prophecy. Cool

used to drool over these in the catalogs back in the day, would love to grab one just for nostalgia purposes if anything

Both these preamps are great.
And Jer, you've been on an epic gear run for a while, man!! I'm living vicariously through you

I still want the Prophesy!

Is the EQ section like the Chameleon where you have a pre and post eq? Also, does that preamp come with a tube in it?

Sweet. About twice a year or so I get a hankering for one of these old preamps. Thus far, it's never worked out to where I have extra spending cash when I see them available. It's cool there are still other fans of them out there.

Mustaine used both of those live for years

I got a Piranha in the 90s but sold it in the 2000s because I mostly used a Sansamp PSA-1. The circuit board in the Sansamp fried not longer after I sold the Piranha. I wonder what I would think of the Piranha now.
