Ashdown John Myung Double Drive Pedal

As one of Dream Theater's founding members, John Myung's trademark bass style has 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, it's 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
