This the the prototype that kick-started the Engineers. The lead guitarist for a Chapel Hill band called The Tell, and a close friend of mine had two issues: (1) He and his wife had just recently had a daughter, and (2) he was in need of a smooth overdrive that could sizzle when pushed. I resolved to help in anyway I could.
1) I promptly suggested that it would be totally awesome if he named his daughter Prometheus. Despite all the objective benefits of growing up as a young lass named after the raddest fire-stealing member of Greek mythology of all time, my suggestion was denied.
2) As a consolation prize, the Engineers resolved to construct a fire-breathing overdrive for Matt worthy of the name Prometheus, and I dare say that we succeeded.
