Ashdown Double Shot

Ashdown · pedal

The Ashdown Pro-FX Double Shot is a two-channel bass overdrive pedal and a scaled-down version of the Ashdown Triple Shot Tri-Band Bass Overdrive. It features dual overdrive circuits with band-specific gain control, allowing independent shaping of low and high frequency overdrive levels to preserve bass clarity while adding defined grit to the upper register. A blendable clean signal lets bassists retain fundamental low-end definition beneath the drive. It is part of the Ashdown ABM Pro-FX range designed in the UK for bass-focused applications.
