The Ashdown Triple Shot Distortion pedal offers uncompromising high-gain bass overdrive, granting you complete mastery over your overdriven tones. With separate controls for 'Dark', 'Medium', and 'Light' frequencies, you can sculpt your sound precisely, from thick and chunky lows to high-gain trebles. Whether you need a subtle mid-range boost or a roaring overdriven bass sound, the Triple Shot delivers. Its sensitivity means even subtle tweaks can create a world of difference. The Ashdown Triple Shot is the ultimate tool for crafting your unique drive sound.

The signal from the instrument is split into three distinct frequency bands (Dark, Medium and Light) and fed into three distortion generators. The Dark (bass) section works from 160Hz down, the Medium (mids) section works from 160Hz to 760Hz and the Light (treble) section from 760Hz upwards. Distortion can be individually applied to any or all sections in any amount set by the individual Roast (gain) controls. The resultant signals are then recombined by a mixer section with output level control for each band.

Since each band has its own level (Roast) control before being recombined to create a full signal, it is possible to retain and enhance the low-end frequencies of your bass sound with a thick and chunky overdriven tone, enrich the top-end with high-gain trebles - or take the two extremes and mix them together to harvest a vast selection of distinct sonic qualities.

With all of the 'Roast' controls set all the way to the left, it's a simple, independent EQ... but using each of the Roast controls in harmony with its corresponding Dark, Medium or Light control, then you can vary the drive from a light little tickle in the mid-range to a full-on overdriven bass sound.

With all the controls at 12 o'clock you get a rich driven bass sound that cuts above the mix in a live 'alternative rock' situation, while retaining the bottom end over your original bass signal. The pedal's rotary controls are extremely sensitive, and a slight adjustment can mean a major change in sound. As a result, you have the ultimate control over your drive sound.

The pedal requires a minimum of 9v with 45ma draw centre pin negative (power supply not included).
