{"product_id":"jackson-audio-amp-mode-352981","title":"Amp Mode","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom PRISM (2016) to a dedicated pedal: Jackson Audio DNA in a compact version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the release of the \u003cstrong\u003eJackson Audio PRISM\u003c\/strong\u003e preamp in 2016, one observation has repeatedly come up among users: the \u003cstrong\u003eAMP MODE\u003c\/strong\u003e is often the one left activated the longest, as it adds an immediate \"amp\" feel under the fingers. Responding to demand for this circuit in a standalone version, Jackson Audio designed the \u003cstrong\u003eAmp Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e as a dedicated pedal, intended to integrate into any pedalboard without sacrificing signal quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea is not to offer just a simple volume increase: it is a boost with a musical character, with a response reminiscent of how an amp's input stage reacts when pushed. The result: a seemingly simple pedal but incredibly effective when playing in a band, recording, or wanting to \"finish\" your tone before hitting the rest of the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for and which styles: from always-on boost to a \"speaking\" clean tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Jackson Audio Amp Mode is aimed both at the \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner\u003c\/strong\u003e guitarist seeking a solid, personal sound foundation and the \u003cstrong\u003eexperienced\u003c\/strong\u003e musician looking for a reliable tool to manage levels, dynamics, and presence. It is particularly suited for those who like to control their tone with pick attack and guitar volume without relying on an additional gain pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, and more broadly in any genres where attack and clarity are desired. Live, it is an excellent way to \u003cstrong\u003ecut through the mix\u003c\/strong\u003e for a chorus or solo. In the studio, it can serve as a \u003cstrong\u003ecompact preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e to stabilize input level, enrich the signal, and feed the effects chain with a more robust foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and design: one control, multiple key roles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of the Amp Mode is clear: \u003cstrong\u003ea single boost potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e, calibrated to focus on essentials. You adjust the overall level, and the pedal handles the rest: the sense of \"headroom,\" response to playing dynamics, and how it drives the next stage (overdrive, distortion, fuzz, or even an amp input).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important point for daily use: when the boost control is turned all the way down, the pedal does not try to increase the level. It behaves as a \u003cstrong\u003eunity gain buffer\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful for \u003cstrong\u003epreserving clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e with long cables or a crowded pedalboard, and for maintaining a tight attack without losing definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding power, the pedal accepts an operating range of \u003cstrong\u003e9V to 18V DC (center negative)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Using it at \u003cstrong\u003e18V\u003c\/strong\u003e increases the headroom (more saturation margin) and provides a more open and dynamic feel. Switching is done via a \u003cstrong\u003emechanical true bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003etop-mounted jacks\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitate integration on compact pedalboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Jackson Audio Amp Mode delivers a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic-rich boost\u003c\/strong\u003e with a response that evokes a preamp stage: more depth, a more \"forward\" presence, and a firm attack feel. The MOSFET adds a lively and slightly textured character when the level is increased, while remaining clean enough to serve as an \"always-on\" base if you like a muscular clean tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaced \u003cstrong\u003ebefore\u003c\/strong\u003e an overdrive, it helps thicken the input signal and achieve more sustain and saturation, often with better articulation. Placed \u003cstrong\u003eafter\u003c\/strong\u003e a gain pedal, it acts as a volume\/perception enhancer for solos and can help clarify presence in the mix. Finally, used alone, it enhances the sense of dynamics and responsiveness, highlighting playing nuances from light picking to strong attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBoost, Preamp\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAnalog\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eelectric guitar\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMOSFET transistor boost (based on the PRISM\u0026#039;s AMP MODE)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not exceed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e18V\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBypass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emechanical true bypass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etop-mounted jacks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1M\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1.8\u0026quot;
