Ashdown Lomenzo Mega Drive Bass Guitar Pedal

Available from Gear4Music at £135.00 ($171).

The Ashdown VU Load Variable Drive Pedal is designed for bassists looking to shape harmonically rich distortion without losing their core tone making it ideal for players in rock metal and heavier styles. Developed in close collaboration with James LoMenzo of Megadeth this pedal builds on the popular Hyperdrive with a reworked circuit that adds tonal focus control and aggression. The Drive Mix and Bypass Mix knobs let you blend your dry signal and distorted tone for a full-bodied sound. You can then target the exact frequency range of the distortion using the High Pass and Low Pass filter controls giving you powerful control over where the drive sits in your mix. The onboard input level control helps match the pedal to passive or active basses ensuring smooth integration into any signal chain. With rugged construction and true bypass switching this 9V pedal is built to perform both live and in the studio.
