Ashdown’s ‘Pedal of Doom’ is a meticulously crafted bass distortion pedal born from 18 months of passionate internal discussions and inspired by the legendary Geezer Butler. At its core, this pedal revolves around the power of EQ control. With an active 5-band EQ and the ability to shape your drive’s pre-EQ, you have the freedom to sculpt two distinct tones, each with its own character and harmonics.

 Geezer Butler

Geezer Butler’s influence is palpable in every detail, from the groove of ‘Hand of Doom’ to the transformative qualities of his music. ‘The Pedal of Doom’ allows you to capture that spirit, giving you the control to punch in those rich harmonics precisely when you need them. This pedal is your key to summoning the sound of doom at a moment’s notice.

 Fine-Tuning EQ

Designed and Engineered in the heart of Essex, it features an onboard transformer isolated DI output and two switchable EQs. Dual VU meters ensure your bass signal remains perfectly balanced throughout the signal path, letting you fine-tune the EQ to match your instrument’s output. Say goodbye to unwanted gain jumps and hello to consistent, powerful tones.

 ‘Pedal of Doom’

And of course, it wouldn’t be ‘The Pedal of Doom’ without the ability to dial in just the right amount of gain. Whether you crave subtle distortion or a full-on wall of sound, this pedal has you covered. It’s the result of countless requests for a Geezer Butler preamp pedal based on the Head of Doom.

EQ Pedals

EQ pedals allow you to boost or cut specific frequency ranges, giving precise control over the shape of your guitar or bass tone. They can brighten a dark amp, tame harshness, add midrange focus or tighten low frequencies before a drive pedal.

Although they are less flashy than many effects, EQ pedals are powerful problem-solvers. They can help different guitars work with the same amp, make solos stand out, or fine-tune a pedalboard for different rooms, recordings and live mixes.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

EQ

EQ pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. EQ related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
