when we began a journey that would morph our dreams into a reality. Prescription Electronics, Inc. was founded by the pure love and enjoyment of music. We used the fundamentals of music: emotion, timing, alongside the "human touch" (and of course, tone) to create (and recreate) some of the coolest and cherished boxes of delight around.The Experience pedal was the first and most beloved box to come from PE and remains our top seller and most reviewed box to date. Released in 1993, The Experience earned praise from all over the guitar effects community with nothing but positive reviews from the likes of Guitar Player Magazine, Guitar World Magazine as well as International Pubilications from Germany, Japan and elsewhere.
Following on the success of The Experience, PE released a trio of new pedals shortly thereafter. The Yardbox was introduced to the world in 1994 and recieved many good reviews, more notably from Guitar Player Magazine which called the Yardbox "an immediately satisfying little stomper" and "delightfully sweet 'n' tasty". The RxOverdriver and the C.O.B. were also released, both also earning praise and good reviews from several publications. Throughout the years, PE has released a total of eleven (11) different, unique guitar effects pedals.
In our own words...
"We were driven by the likes of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix amongst others. In the 1960's guitarists began to have more freedom in the use of tone with the availability of electronic tone enhancing devices spanning a fairly limited spectrum; of course tremolo, reverb, compression, a few fuzzboxes, the wah, and the original phase shifter... The Uni Cord, Uni-Vibe not to be confused with the current pedal of the same name. These devices became known as guitar effects pedals. The truly creative musicians always put their lust for true musical talent and ability first and accented their music with some of these electronic effects..."

"...Well, then came the seventies and eighties. It seemed as though there couldn't have been more unusable gizmo's on the market, although, people still bought them... Some musicians became less interested in playing great music and lost some of their focus of their musical craftsmanship. We believe this was due to the overload of these gizmo's (many of them - better used as paper weights) and the contrived idea that by simply using one of these gizmo's would make up for their lack of true, creative musicianship. On the other hand, the musicians who did focus on their musicianship did find a truly beautiful way to further communicate their emotion with the use of the more musical pedals."
