Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Ashdown James LoMenzo signature bass distortion, part of Ashdown's LoMenzo drive line, is built for bass players who want aggressive overdrive without losing their low end. It applies distortion to a selectable midrange band while leaving the deep bass and high treble largely untouched, and a blend control mixes the distorted signal back with the clean dry bass so the tone stays full and punchy. Voiced from a mild grind to full saturated distortion, it suits hard rock and metal bass tones in the style of James LoMenzo of Megadeth and White Lion. Running into a clean bass amp, it adds growling mid presence that helps bass cut through a dense band mix.
The JAM Pedals Lucy Dreamer Bass is a premium Tube Screamer-style overdrive pedal from the Greek boutique builder JAM Pedals, specifically voiced and adapted for bass guitar to preserve low-end content while adding the mid-forward overdrive character of the Tube Screamer topology. JAM Pedals applies premium component selection and hand-building to a modified TS circuit that avoids the low-end loss typical of standard Tube Screamer designs on bass. Suited to rock, alternative, and progressive bass contexts requiring a defined, harmonically rich overdrive.
