Ashdown Engineering John Myung Double Drive Overdrive Bass Effects Pedal
John Myung Signature pedal with dual VU.
After talking with John at the start of the recording sessions for the latest Dream Theater album, John wanted to look at building on his tone further with Ashdown, he had been using our ABM-600’s for some time now and wanted something to further the relationship and having never done a signature pedal before we wanted to produce something worthy of such a monster player.
After talking with his tech and long-term Dream Theater crew chief Maddi we gained an idea of what was required to sit in line with his amps and instrument. The Music Man Bongo has quite a unique tonal quality to it and his signature 6 string sounds and plays like nothing else. Bass distortion requires a strong gain structure to replicate a vast range of frequencies and with Johns playing this needed to be right. John had this to say about it:
- Power Requirement: 9-18v External Power Supply Centre Pin Negative
- Drive: 2 channels
- H x W x D (mm): 60 x 180 x 120
- Weight (kg): 1.2
