J.A.K. AUDIO STAGGER, is a 500 series format, Analog distortion channel strip module, designed around a mixer fader amplifier. Like in any console channel, it features FX sends with level controls. Inserted in the signal path of these FX Sends, are two distortion circuits, one for each FX send.
Built around a fader amplifier with boost, it features two main circuits:
1. LOCK -A-LEVEL. A preamp/limiter based on the original Level-Loc made by Shure in the late sixties. This limiter features a PAD control, a DISTANCE (threshold) control, and a RELEASE control. All made with switches. All these controls let you shape the sound you are looking for. Ideal to give "AIR" to overheads or drumloops.
2. SOFT CLIPPER. With this soft clipper you can go from HARSH to PUNCH, just by moving the SEND potentiometer level. A Really cool feature!!.
3. FADER & BOOST. The inverting fader amplifier, blends the DRY signal, that is always present at the output, with the WET signal from the two SENDS (Lock-a-level & Soft clipper). The BOOST control, adds gain and a bit of grungeling distortion, without being too much harsh.
