The Amaterasu by Ground Control Audio is a bright pre-amp designed to provide a unity to 26dB amplifier circuit for players seeking an extra push. It is highly responsive to the player's style and can be used to enhance quieter guitar pickups or to further boost a favorite overdrive. The pedal features a flick switch for two mode settings: bright mode, which allows higher frequency content for a clearer tone, and a second mode setting that colors the signal for a darker feel.
The technical specifications for the Amaterasu are as follows:
- Unity to 26dB amplifier circuit
- Responsive to play style
- Bright mode setting for higher frequency content
- Two mode settings for tone enhancement
- Standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (no battery support)
- Isolated power supply recommended for best performance
- Dimensions: 123 x 71 x 59mm
The Amaterasu is a true bypass pedal and is powered by a 9-volt mains supply only (not included). It is designed to provide a significant boost to the signal while offering tonal flexibility through the bright mode and second mode settings.
