INTRODUCTION

John is always pushing musical boundaries whether it’s live or on the latest Dream Theater release. He demands excellence in and out of the studio and this is where Ashdown and John worked together to create a drive pedal like no other. The tonal possibilities are endless allowing for creative over the top distortions to song driven extra growl.

Gain 1
With a juicy midrange and natural, tube-like breakup, this first gain works great in conjunction with a tube amp to thicken up your everyday tone.

Gain 2
A vintage style fuzz with a fat fuzz sound, longer sustain and over the top gain! Stack it with Gain 1 and another range of tonal possibilities open up!
