Bassmurf Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello, I've just received an e-mail from Martin @ Ashdown and he says they should be readily available in about 10 days time from any main Ashdown dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatbass787 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ok, got my J Lo pedal s few days ago so thought I would share my thoughts. Gotta say in 20 years of playing and experimenting with gear this is without a doubt the best overdrive pedal i have encountered. It's very solidly built like a little tank and just begs to be stomped on! The variety of sounds is fantastic, setting the mix fairly low with drive up a little it just makes your bass sound warmer, more full and just generally more harmonic, everythings a little sweeter, great for blues. If you get a bit more aggressive with the controls you can make your bass just sound huge and absolutely filthy but bottom and top end clarity are retained whereas most pedals I have had just turn things to mush. With some more tweaking i managed to get that ever sustaining cello sound which is just amazing. True bypass too. All this and I have only had it for a couple of days. I use a P bass through an Ashdown Classic rig in case you were wondering. Best bit of all though is the price! I would happily pay double the asking price for this it really is that good. Think i may have to buy a couple more to have them all set differently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnylager Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nice one phat, but I was hoping it would be crap so I wouldn't have to buy one and go through this all over again...

raze Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This pedal is awesome by far my favorite overdrive ive ever tried The mid switch is a really cool feature and the blend know lets you go from slight overdriven undertones to full on in your face drive pair it up with the aphex bass exciter and a decnt comp and its and awesome metal tone making machine Probly cool for loads of stuff but thats what i use it for lol Buy one NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
