Bass-optimized OD Pedal for John Myung
As one of Dream Theater’s founding members, John Myung has a trademark bass style that’s graced the band’s releases for over three decades. John has been an avid user of Ashdown equipment for some time, making their collaboration a natural fit. To meet John’s exacting needs, Ashdown tapped into the gear knowledge of long-term Dream Theater tech Maddi Schieferstein. The impressive result is the Double Drive, a bass-optimized dual overdrive pedal designed to replicate a wide range of frequencies for clear yet raging distortion. This pedal’s switchable, stackable overdrives offer two different distortion styles: Drive 1 focuses on subtle harmonic distortion; Drive 2 offers fuzz-like saturation. Once you lock in your tone, a transformer-isolated balanced DI output sends your signal to a mixer or soundboard, with an onboard ground-lift switch to tackle unwanted noise with a single press. For channeling distorted bass tones with zero mud and flub, the Ashdown John Myung Double Drive pedal is a dream come true.
Two unique flavors of switchable, stackable overdrive
Not only is the Double Drive one of the best-sounding and -performing bass overdrives on the market, but its two unique flavors of heat deliver a variety of saturation options to fit any performance setting. Drive 1 is ideal for harmonic distortion, with Gain, Loud, and Tone knobs offering complete control over your sound. Kick on Drive 2, and you’ll be met with a roaring, raging overdrive, voiced similarly to a vintage-style fuzz with enhanced versatility. Sweetwater bassists have found stellar results with both drives stacked, delivering unrelenting gain levels with full-spectrum clarity.
