Jackson Audio overdrive Belle Star

La Belle Starr is the result of several months of collaboration with Drew Shirley of the Switchfoot group, who always plays on very small amps at very low wattage and plays them hard to get that clean sound. The Belle Starr was designed to recreate this particular sound. It's not a high gain overdrive, the Belle Starr is a low / moderate gain overdrive that has the same smooth, natural characteristics found in smaller amps. To make this overdrive as natural and amp-like as possible, Jackson Audio incorporated a unique clipping circuit (the part of the circuit that saturates the signal) with Mosfet transistors in place of the traditional silicon diodes. The Belle Starr's overdrive spectrum is so well distributed that the Gain setting ranges from absolutely clear gain to moderate gain without any unusual bumps in dynamic response. The Belle Starr can be powered from 9 to 18 Volts DC for more dynamics, but never more than 18 Volts! Settings - Volume Sets the overall level of the Belle Starr. With a low Gain setting and a high Volume, the Belle Starr acts as a powerful boost with 2 settings for the tone. - Gain Controls the gain of your sound and the saturation of the Belle Starr. With the low Gain and the other settings in the center, the boost obtained is transparent and identical to the original sound. By increasing the Gain, you add a subtle overdrive to achieve a perfect simulation of a small amp pushed hard! - Body A very powerful active equalization, the Body setting adjusts the bass frequencies by ± 15dB. - Tone Passive adjustment carefully calibrated, it adjusts the high frequencies like the Cut control of a Vox amp.
