Ashdown Drive Plus Bass Overdrive Pedal – True Bypass

Ashdown "Drive Plus" Bass Overdrive Pedal

The Ashdown Drive Plus was created in response to bassists demanding a distortion pedal built for their sound—not just a repurposed guitar pedal. Designed to add controlled aggression and tonal character, it’s capable of everything from a subtle growl to high-gain chaos that will make any guitarist take notice.

Double the Dirt

The Drive Plus lets you apply distortion separately to the high and low frequencies of your bass signal. Fuzz the top end while keeping the bottom clean—or flip it for deep, thunderous drive. Each band uses its own tailored distortion circuit to maintain clarity and power across the frequency range.

Precision Control

Use the Drive, Distortion Tone, and Distortion Level controls to fine-tune your sound. The VU meter and Input level knob make it easy to find your tonal sweet spot with active or passive basses.

Built for the Road

Constructed from rugged metal casing with recessed knobs, kickguards, and premium components, the Drive Plus is engineered to survive years of heavy touring. True bypass switching ensures your clean tone remains pure when the pedal is disengaged.
