J.A.K. AUDIO STAGGER
500 series Analog Distortion & Tone Shaping Channel Strip
The J.A.K. AUDIO STAGGER is a Badass analog distortion & tone shaping channel strip. Built around a fader amplifier with boost, it allows you to shape your sound to achieve the colour you are looking for.
LIMITER WITH HISTORY: Based on the “Shure Level-loc” limiter, this limiter was the secret weapon to add “air” to overheads. By adjusting both “Distance” (threshold) and Release, you can achieve interesting effects.
HEAT & PUNCH: With the Soft Clipper you can model the transients of your sound and give it a harsh or punchier tone. INSTRUMENT INPUT: Plug your Bass or electric guitar and start modelling your own sound!
FADER & BOOST: Both send Fx levels are mixed back to the fader amplifier. Crank-up the BOOST, to achieve some warm distortion tones that you will
love like crazy!
J.A.K. AUDIO STAGGER,
Analog Air, Heat & Punch!
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, and finally, the fader with boost.
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, with 10/20 db attenuation selector for Line level signals, a DISTANCE (Threshold) control, and a RELEASE control, with 3 positions: Fast, Mid and slow. All made with switches. The FX SEND level, works as the GAIN of the LOCK-A-LEVEL preamp/limiter. All these controls let you shape the sound you are looking for. Ideal to give "AIR" to overheads, drumloops, guitars, bass...
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 FX SENDS (Lock-a-level & Soft clipper). The BOOST control, adds gain and a bit of grungeling distortion, without being too much harsh.The fader amplifier controls the level of signal sent to the DAW, be it distorted or not, to avoid clipping your converters!!.
The unit also includes in the front panel an Instrument input, that you can select with a switch. This switch changes the input from the rear line level input, to the front panel instrument level input. You can control the gain of the instrument with the BOOST control.
All these features make the J.A.K.AUDIO STAGGER Analog distortion Channel strip a real Swiss knife, for tone and transient shaping.
