The Ashdown John Myung Double Drive is a signature two-channel bass overdrive pedal developed with Dream Theater bassist John Myung and his bass tech, designed to pair tonally with Myung signature six-string Ernie Ball Bongo basses. Drive 1 provides harmonic distortion with Gain, Loud, and Tone controls for a subtle expressive drive character. Drive 2 delivers vintage-style distortion spanning from warm growls to heavier overdrive via Grit and Burn controls. A pro transformer-isolated balanced DI output with ground lift allows direct connection to front-of-house or recording gear.
The EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls is an all-analog bass preamp and overdrive pedal designed as a comprehensive signal command center for bass players.

The Scrolls provides natural tube-like warmth and responsive overdrive ranging from subtle growl to aggressive saturation. Suited to rock, metal, jazz, and progressive bass contexts, it combines tonal shaping and drive in a single compact enclosure.
