“When all the other animals, downcast looked upon the earth, Prometheus gave a face raised on high to man, and commanded him to see the sky and raise his high eyes to the stars.”

Features and design philosophy

We designed the Prometheus very much from a musicians perspective:

It's loud, lightweight and is designed to be highly flexible in sound while always retaining a unique voice: while the clean channel is inspired by Fender, Verellen and a bit of Hiwatt the Lead channel has a unique growl and saturation to it and can cover everything from classic rock to sludge and from black metal to ultra modern metal. We paid particular attention to the voicing of the the mid-range which is present and cutting but never overbearing and placed at a slightly different range than you'd usually see on high gain amps: due to this it's really easy to place in a mix where a lot of other amps sit in the same frequency spectrum. I'll add a full list of features and please bear with me on the descriptions: I'm trying not to throw all the buzz-words at you but also don't want to get too technical - ask away if there's open questions!

- 100-200W depending on the choice of power tubes

- 2 1/2 channels: clean & lead with different voicings and a high/low-gain option for the lead-channel

- full-tube design: no solid state components in the amps signal path

- preamp-bypass for use with preamps or pedals straight to poweramp (footswitchable & MIDI-controllable)

- full built-in Key & Gate: triggered from the input, placed before the loop (footswitchable & MIDI-controllable)

- tube-buffered fx-loop

- full MIDI-control with really intuitive setup and "thru"-connector

- standard footswitch inputs (channel/loop) & (defeat/gate)

- optional Prometheus footswitch: programmable, 9V-out (included for pre-orders)

- external bias-points for tube pairs (mix and match all octal tubes to your liking)

- 9V-outlet on the back to power your pedals

- lightweight and compact design

- milled side-handles for easy transportation

- Lichtlaerm-proprietary  "cut"-control to change the overall response of the lead-channel: Black Sabbath to Meshuggah and G'nR to Behemoth

- high headroom clean-channel with two voices: warm (extremely pedal-friendly, based on a Verellen Meatsmoke) and brilliant (a chimey clean based on a Fender Twin with a little Hiwatt sprinkle)

- custom-made potentiometer for usable range on depth & presence pots

- line-out fed from the output transformer (external load or cab needed!)

- handmade in Germany, custom overwound transformers, custom-made knobs
