The AMT Electronics P2 is a preamp and effects pedal made by AMT Electronics. It is an analog circuit, listed by the maker as available now, and it carries a noise gate as a global setting alongside its preamp section123.
What it does
The P2 is described by AMT as a "Preamp & FX Pedal", meaning it combines a preamp stage, the part of an amp that shapes the basic tone and gain, with effects functions in one enclosure2. As an analog design, it processes the guitar signal as a continuous electrical signal rather than converting it to digital data3.
Its documented features are:
- A preamp section for shaping tone and gain2
- Effects functions in the same enclosure2
- A HIGH control for high frequencies1
- A noise gate as a global setting2
The pedal's controls include a HIGH knob. As the maker's product page puts it1:
"HIGH controls the amount of high frequency in the signal"
In practice that is a treble control, letting a player add or cut brightness at the top of the tone1.
A noise gate is included as a global setting, so it applies across the pedal rather than being tied to a single mode or channel2. A gate quiets the signal when the guitar is not being played, which is useful with high-gain preamp settings.
In AMT's preamp range
The P2 sits in AMT's family of preamp pedals. The maker's lineup includes24:
- AMT Legend Amps P2, the preamp this page covers, listed by AMT as available now1 and built as an analog circuit4
- The P2 is described by the maker as a Preamp & FX Pedal, with a Noise Gate as a global setting2
The Legend version of the P2 is a separate product page from the standard P2. AMT's media center published a demo of the Legend Amps P2 used with an EVH 5150 III amplifier4.
