Introducing the John Myung signature pedal by Ashdown. This bass pedal boasts two distinct distortion channels, adding versatile deep gain to your tone. The legendary bassist from Dream Theatre conceived this pedal after recording their latest album, realising that there is never too much distortion.

Double Drive = Double Trouble

Drive 1 produces a harmonious blend of harmonic distortion and Drive 2 offers precise bass presence and more control over distortion. John praises the versatility of this magnificent pedal, making it worthy of any virtuoso player like the man himself.

Ready to Rock ‘n’ Roll

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.
