Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion Pedal

Aftershock

Get down and dirty with the Aftershock Bass Distortion. Out of the box, this stereo pedal delivers three bass overdrive engines that span the gamut of low-end crunch, from smooth and natural overdrive to full-on fuzz attack. The tube engine belts out a subtle but powerful vintage tube overdrive with a smooth breakup and plenty of punch. Heavy creates an aggressive scooped sound with ample highs and thundering lows. The fuzz engine offers intense germanium fuzz tones with loads of bottom and much grit. The Aftershock’s simple yet powerful control panel provides the tools to finely sculpt the perfect bass tone. The clean knob lets you mix in just enough clean signal to maintain a rock-solid low-end without compromising the pedal’s sonic growl. Adjust the onboard tone control and find that thunderous sweet spot for any bass/amp combination.

By itself the Aftershock offers tremendous tonal range, but dig a little deeper and discover its hidden power and flexibility. Every pedal in the One Series line is compatible with the Neuro Desktop Editor and Mobile App (free downloads iOS, Android, Mac and Windows). Connect the Aftershock to the Neuro Editor and access its extended equalization capabilities, stereo routing options, as well as Source Audio’s free library of over 40 overdrive, fuzz, and distortion algorithms for bass and guitar — each algorithm can be downloaded directly to the pedal. The Aftershock is also built on dual drive platforms providing the opportunity to simultaneously run two fuzz tones in parallel, stacked, or split in stereo. Plus, every One Series pedal is fully MIDI compatible when coupled with the Neuro Hub (formerly Soundblox Hub), providing the power to save up to 128 different presets.

The Neuro Editing Systems
Job one in the development of the Source Audio One Series overdrive pedals - The LA Lady Overdrive, Kingmaker Fuzz, and Aftershock Bass Distortion – was to create three great sounding, flexible, and easy-to-use pedals. Out of the box, that’s exactly what they are – plug them in, select from the three onboard overdrive engines and make beautiful music simple. But there is much more here than meets the eye and ear - the truly big idea behind our One Series overdrive pedals was to give musicians a second, far deeper, set of options and editing tools with which to craft the perfect tone. The Neuro Desktop Editor and Mobile App are free downloads for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows machines. The Neuro Editors vastly expand the tonal possibilities of the pedals, offering a huge collection of additional drive, fuzz, and distortion engines as well as an expanded set of editing parameters.

Features

• 3 distinct fuzz engines — Flip the center toggle switch and select between three different bass distortions
• 3 presets — Use preset mode to save a different preset to each of the three toggle switch positions
• Stereo input and output jacks — Distort upstream stereo signals, split a mono signal to dual outputs, or use the additional in and out as an external effects loop
• Stackable drive engines — Dual drive engines and stereo inputs and outputs make it possible (via the Neuro App) to stack any combination of drive engines in either series or parallel as well as split the signal and send a separate drive engine to each of the pedal’s outputs
• Universal bypass — Select either analog buffered or relay-based true bypass
• External control — Compatible with Source Audio expression pedals, the Source Audio tap tempo switch (which also acts as an external switching mechanism), and the Hot Hand 3
