JACK DRIVE
The Jack Drive is a JFET medium gain pre-amp, specifically designed to add a warm edge with touch dynamics to your tone. No clipping diodes here. The overdrive tones are generated with four class A JFET gain stages. The result is nearly transparent harmonic rich tone with cleaner low end. A mid stage drive control dials, in the overdrive harmonics, and a master volume dials it back, to hit your amp just right. We dropped the traditional high cut tone control, for a MID tone cut and boost control. Go from a heavy scooped mids to flat, or add minor mid boost for solos. Jack Drive features true bypass switching, internal battery connector and a center negative external power jack. From a low gain boost to a mid gain warm overdrive, the Jack Drive will sweeten up your rig.
The controls:
Volume – This is the master output volume control. This control provides more volume than you will ever need. With a low Drive setting, you can use the Volume as a boost control for a relatively clean and very dynamic boost.
MID – This is a post Drive Mid frequency cut and boost tone control. The JFET preamp design is set to not over kill the high frequency. This allows for a mid control, to take you from a scooped mid, with the Mid control full down, to a minor mid boost at full up.
DRIVE – The Drive control is heart of the Jack Drive. It will convert your sound, from a low gain boost/overdrive to a medium/high gain class A JFET harmonic rich overdriven warm tone. For the cleaner dynamic boost/overdrive mode, turn the Drive down to a cleaner tone and turn up the Volume to push your amp. The warm bite will bring your guitar alive.
Power:
The Jack Drive features a standard center negative 2.1mm barrel DC jack. The Fuss Box works best on a quality 9VDC supply (not included). It will work with battery sag circuits, at full and low battery levels.
For drop and play there is an internal 9V battery clip.
