Starry Night is a hand-built high-gain preamp / overdrive inspired by the Soldano SLO platform, combining saturated gain with detailed tone shaping and a tight, responsive low end.
With dedicated Gain, Volume, Presence, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls plus a Deep voicing switch, it offers much more control than a typical high-gain distortion pedal and can move from articulate crunch to dense, sustaining lead tones.
Sound
Starry Night is built around a tight, harmonically rich high-gain voice with enough EQ control to adapt to different guitars and amplifiers.
The three-band EQ provides direct control over Bass, Mid, and Treble, while Presence shapes the upper-frequency response and attack.
The Deep switch adds low-frequency weight and punch, allowing the pedal to move between a tighter, more focused response and a fuller, heavier low end.
At lower Gain settings, the circuit can produce articulate crunch and driven rhythm tones. Increasing Gain adds sustain and saturation while retaining a relatively controlled, amp-like response.
Controls
Volume — Sets the overall output level.
Gain — Controls the amount of drive, saturation, and sustain.
Presence — Adjusts upper-frequency response, attack, and openness.
Bass — Controls the low-frequency content.
Mid — Adjusts the midrange response.
Treble — Controls the high-frequency content.
Deep — Adds additional low-frequency punch and weight.

Your pedals are more than just boxes; they're sonic sculptors, crafting the very essence of your sound. To keep them performing at their peak, heed these sacred commandments of pedal care:
The Tenets of Pedal Preservation
- Unplug the Beast: Before diving into the cleaning ritual, always disconnect your pedal from the power source. This simple act prevents electrical mishaps and ensures your safety.
- A Gentle Wipe: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently caress the pedal's exterior. Remove dust, grime, and the residue of countless gigs.
- The Forbidden Liquid: Water, the nemesis of electronics, must be banished from your cleaning routine. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture at all costs.
- The Sacred Knob: When cleaning knobs, rotate them gently, ensuring no debris enters the delicate inner workings.
- The Jack's Domain: Utilize a specialized contact cleaner to maintain the integrity of your input and output jacks. A gentle spray and a few rotations will do the trick.
- The Power Supply's Purpose: A well-regulated power supply is the lifeblood of your pedalboard. Keep it clean and free from dust, ensuring optimal performance.
- The Periodic Purge: Regularly inspect your pedalboard for loose cables, faulty connections, and signs of wear. A well-maintained board is a happy board.
- The Holy Grail of Storage: When not in use, store your pedals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- The Forbidden Modding: Unless you're a seasoned electronics wizard, resist the urge to tinker with your pedals' internal circuitry. Leave it to the experts.
- The Ritual of Respect: Treat your pedals with reverence. They are the tools of your musical expression, deserving of care and attention.
By adhering to these sacred tenets, you'll ensure that your pedals continue to deliver sonic bliss for years to come.
