If you're familiar with Drew's rig, he has always run super small, low-wattage amps, and run them wide-open to get his signature overdriven sound. The BELLE STARR was designed to recreate these tones. Not a high-gain overdrive, the BELLE STARR is a low\/mid gain overdrive circuit that has the smooth and natural breakup that is characteristic in smaller, non-negative feedback amps. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo make the overdrive as natural-sounding and amp-like as possible, Jackson incorporated a unique clipping circuit (the part of the circuit that distorts the signal) and features MOSFET transistors instead of traditional silicon diodes. When used in a clipping circuit, the MOSFET transistors produce a very smooth and amp-like overdrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overdrive range on the BELLE STARR is so evenly spread out across the range of the GAIN control that it goes from absolutely clean to medium gain with no unusual jumps in the dynamic response. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVolume Control:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSets the overall level for the BELLE STARR. With low GAIN settings and high VOLUME settings, the BELLE STARR acts like a very powerful boost complete with tone controls!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody Control:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn extremely powerful active EQ, the BODY control adjusts the low frequencies by giving a +\/-15dB boost\/cut to those frequencies. The BODY control also features a center detent which makes it easier to get back to a neutral or flat response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDC Input:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe BELLE STARR can safely run from 9V-18V DC (center negative). Running it at 18V will give increased headroom and dynamic response. Do NOT exceed 18V!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGain Control:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls the gain of your tone and how overdriven the BELLE STARR is. Running the GAIN control low and all other controls at 12:00 will result in a transparent boost that is indistinguishable from your clean tone. Increasing the GAIN control from there adds subtle overdrive and will take you from clean to a perfect emulation of a cranked small amp that is breaking up!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTone Control:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautifully voiced passive tone control, the TONE control adjusts the treble frequencies much like the CUT control on a Vox amp.
