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.
