Designed to meet the specific needs
of the modern bass player, Ashdown’s
Dual Band Compressor splits the signal
into high and low frequency bands and
applies compression separately to both – fast attack
and decay for the high frequency and slow attack and decay
for the low frequency or fundamental waveform of the note.
The amount of compression applied to each is independently
variable and the balance between the high and low frequency
components of the signal is also controllable as they are re-
combined into a single, full range output.
Why should guitar players have all the fun?
Ashdown's Bass Drive Plus pedal generates a wide
range of bass distortion by splitting the signal
into High and Low frequency bands and applying appropriate
types of distortion to either one or both. HF and LF distortion
have their own individual Drive controls with a separate Balance
control to blend the two together. In this way distortion can be
added to the HF signal only maintaining
a full and fat bottom end.
A high-quality chorus, just for bass players. In addition to the standard
Depth and Speed controls, the Plus part of this pedal can be switched in
to provide flanging and a unique range of delay effects.
This earth-Shattering pedal generates a note
one octave below the note being played, at the same
volume and based on the waveform of the original signal.
By blending the sub-octave note with the original signal, bass players
can move from a subtle reinforcement of the sound to truckloads of
bone crushing tone. As a further Plus, distortion can be added to the
sub-octave note, with the level of distorted sub-octave and
degree of distortion both adjustable by the player.
It’s time to get funky with the Ashdown
Envelope Filter. Capable of a wide range of
effects from auto-wah through to spaced-out, auto-
triggered funky tones, the sweep of the filter can be either up or
down with selection of band-pass or high pass filter modes. A peak
control is provided to deepen the ‘Q’ for more extreme effects and the
depth of the effect is controlled by the volume of each note as it’s played,
making this a truly creative and dynamic pedal. Bass
