The AMT Electronics Legend series P1 is a JFET guitar preamp built around amp and cabinet modeling features. AMT describes it as an analog preamp covering three gain characters: clean, low gain and high gain1. AMT Electronics lists it as part of its Legend Amps series, alongside the M1, E1, S1, B1 and R12.
What it does
The P1 sits in AMT's Legend Series Metal grouping with the B1 and E1, and the maker lists a Parametric Pre/Post EQ among its features4. A global Noise Gate setting is also listed on the P1's product page1. AMT's media center additionally notes "+ other features" beyond those named on the page5.
Because the preamp is analog and built on JFET circuitry, it is aimed at players who want amp-style gain staging in a unit rather than a digital modeler. AMT's own page for the P1 carries the title "AMT Electronics P1 to Amp", which points to its intended use feeding an amplifier or power stage5.
AMT's media center lists the P1 as soon available, so it is not yet on general sale2.
Where it sits in the Legend range
The Legend Amps series groups several preamps by character, and the P1 is the high-gain-oriented metal entry in that lineup alongside the B1 and E142. Players comparing the range can treat the series letters as a guide to the gain character each unit covers, with the P1 covering clean through high gain in one unit1.
