Massive Tone and Killer Effects!
Rocktron's Prophesy II contains exciting new presets programmed by Rocktron endorsers, Dave Mustaine, Gary Hoey, Rusty Cooley, Jimi Bell and more. This outstanding DSP processor provides the ultimate control over your tone and effects. The Prophesy is a tremendously powerful tone-shaping tool!

Rocktron Prophesy II at a Glance:
  • Four preamp channels, each with its own distinct voicing
  • Parametric Pre and Post EQ to shape your tone
  • Pre-preamp effects
  • Post-preamp effects preserve tone of preamp
  • Pluck Detection responds to your playing dynamics

Four preamp channels, each with its own distinct voicing
The preamp section of the Prophesy II features four channels, each with its own distinct "voicing" to provide a vast array of desired tube amp sounds. Each voicing may be thought of as a "channel" and each channel has its own basic gain and master controls with bass, mid, treble and presence controls, all easily accessible with "real amp" knobs on the front panel, just like a regular amp head.

  • Channel 1 - "Clean American": Replicates some of the most sought-after clean vintage tweed amps of the late '50s and '60s.
  • Channel 2 - "Texas Blues": A vintage tweed with a bit more "kick" and "bite" often heard from the famous southwest bluesers like Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray, Eric Johnson, etc.
  • Channel 3 - "Vintage British": A traditional "Plexi Style" tone offering some of the most dynamic rhythm tone available.
  • Channel 4 - "Mega Drive": Considered the Holy Grail of almighty heavy tone of modern music, pumping out everything from early Van Halen to Megadeth and everything in between.

Parametric Pre and Post EQ to shape your tone
The Prophesy II preamp section features a parametric Pre EQ, which allows you to "pre-shape" your tone to simulate the characteristics of several different guitars (such as fine-tuning your Strat to sound more like a Les Paul, etc.) as well as an additional parametric Post EQ to add extra lows, highs, or scoop out the mids. And if that's not enough, the Prophesy II also includes a global parametric EQ which adjust the overall output of the Prophesy on all presets.

Pre-preamp effects
The effects section of the Prophesy II is divided up into two sections, pre distortion (or pre-preamp), and post distortion (or post-preamp) for unlimited configurations of effects. The pre-effects section features Wah, Compressor, HUSH, Pre-EQ, as well as one assignable effect of your choice.

Post-preamp effects preserve tone of preamp
The post-effects section of the Prophesy II provides ultra-transparent, high-quality effects which completely preserve the tone of the preamp - thick reverbs and lush choruses can be used without coloring the sound of the preamp's tone. Four assignable "effect blocks" allow you to assign one effect pre-preamp and three post-preamp effects in any order you choose, including Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Pitch Shift, Rotary Speaker, Ducker Delay, etc. Prophesy II also features a versatile mixer section to control the mix between dry and wet signal output of every effect used in the preset.

Pluck Detection responds to your playing dynamics
The Prophesy II's ADSR (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release) function features Rocktron's Pluck Detection patent-pending, and allows you to configure any of the Prophesy parameters to be controlled dynamically by each pluck of a guitar string. It's an incredibly musical application that is very different from the usual expression-pedal tricks. You could do some groundbreaking stuff with this killer function!

Of course, the Prophesy II maintains the high-quality operational features that Rocktron processors are well known for, such as glitch-free preset switching with no signal drop out or lag time and the most natural sounding effects.


Rocktron Prophesy II Features:
  • Dynamic Tube Replication Technology (DTR)
  • User Definable Effect Configurations
  • User Assignable Stereo Effect Loop
  • Tap Tempo Delay and Tremolo
  • Built-in Chromatic Tuner
  • Stereo XLR Outputs
  • Real Amp Knobs for On-The-Fly Tone, Volume and Preset Adjustments
  • "Pluck Detector" (patent-pending) and ADSR for Dynamic Effect Control
  • Pre and Post Distortion and Global EQ
  • Pre Distortion Effects and Post Distortion Effects
  • Programmable Speaker Simulator w/ Parameters for Speaker Size, Mic Position, and Reactance

For huge tone and massive effects, go with the Rocktron Prophesy II!

“I don't quite know what to say except that after actively gigging for the past 20 plus years, spending a few of those years on the road, through all the studio and live sessions and being pretty much my own roadie all of that time, my body is now at 38 years old starting to feel the havoc of hauling around a wall of 4/12 cabinets, an amp rack case and a seperate effects rack case and pedalboard....” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "This preamp has a lot of tonal posibilities from ultra clean to blues to super heavy. There is a reason why this is the preamp of choice for Dave Mustaine of Megadeth. The Prophesy is the ultimate preamp and processor in one!"
