Ashdown James LoMenzo Hyper Drive Bass Overdrive Pedal

Ashdown James LoMenzo Hyper Drive Bass Overdrive Pedal

Developed in collaboration with hard-rock bass legend James LoMenzo (Megadeth, Black Label Society, David Lee Roth), the Ashdown Hyper Drive delivers the aggressive, “fire-breathing” bass tone that has powered decades of heavy music.

Its unique drive circuit focuses distortion only on the mid-range frequencies, leaving the lows tight and the highs clear. This creates a harmonically rich overdrive that can be tuned from a subtle growl to full-throttle grit, while the Mix control lets you blend clean and driven signals for perfect balance.

The signature Ashdown VU meter and Input Level control make it easy to find the sweet spot with active or passive basses, ensuring optimum tone and output. Built with rugged metal casing, premium switches, recessed knobs and kickguards, the Hyper Drive is made to survive the road.

Key Features
