Ashdown launches Triple Shot three-band bass overdrive pedal

September 1, 2023 · 1 sources

Ashdown launched the Triple Shot, a bass overdrive pedal that splits the signal into three frequency bands, in September 2023, the maker says¹.

The pedal divides the input into Dark (lows), Medium (mids) and Light (highs) bands. Each band runs through its own distortion generator and the three are recombined after processing¹. Ashdown describes the effect type as "Blended multi-band bass overdrive"¹. Each band has its own "Roast" level control, which the maker says lets players blend lows, mids and highs to taste; Ashdown calls the rotary controls highly sensitive, so that small adjustments create major tonal changes¹. With all settings at 12 o'clock, the maker says, the pedal produces a driven bass tone that retains bottom-end weight¹.

Ashdown lists the Triple Shot as designed for modern, alternative rock and high-gain bass tones, for studio and live use¹. It takes a 9V power supply with a center-negative pin and draws 45mA, and uses standard input and output jacks¹. Ashdown gives the dimensions as 65 mm high, 116.2 mm wide and 145.5 mm deep¹. The maker's specification section lists a net weight of 1.15 kg, while a separate passage on the same page describes the pedal as weighing "just 1.5kg"¹.

Ashdown's product page does not give a US list price¹. Ashdown says it does not currently take orders for delivery outside the UK and directs buyers elsewhere to its dealer locator¹. The page also states that Ashdown products carry a 5 year warranty¹.

The Triple Shot sits among the maker's bass pedals¹.
