Ashdown's tribute to bass legend Guy Pratt comes to bass players everywhere in today's Macchiato Comp: the secret to Guy's smooth runs, punchy fills, and beefy chords and leads. This bass-specific compression pedal has EQ curves and compression ratios in all the right places to anchor bass instruments to any style of music — in Guy's case, David Gilmour to Madonna. In keeping with the Macchiato theme, this compressor gives you 3-band EQ in the form of three corresponding roast levels; you can use these to tame or sweeten frequency ranges to taste. Sweetwater reviewers found the Subsonic Filter to be useful for reducing bass frequencies which can build up in a hurry in high-compression environments, revealing themselves in the form of mix-destroying mud and speaker-damaging low end. An included 18v power supply delivers heaps of headroom to make sure the Macchiato only clamps down on your signal where you want it to. If you're a bass player, don't settle for any ordinary stompbox — trust your bass tones to the Ashdown Macchiato Comp compressor pedal by Guy Pratt.

  • Built to the specifications of bassist Guy Pratt (Madonna, Michael Jackson)

  • Ratios and curves tailored to bass instruments
  • 3-band EQ can be used to boost or tame frequency ranges

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
