dudewheresmybass Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 i know they were for sale at namm. just wondered if anyone had any info? Quote
Bassmurf Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Hello, I've just received an e-mail from Martin @ Ashdown and he says they should be readily available in about 10 days time from any main Ashdown dealer. Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Cheers for heads up. I'll be keeping an eye out! Quote
Machines Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Ok i've got one of these from Ashdown for review. I'll try and get it online in the next week or so . Quote
phatbass787 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Ok, got my J Lo pedal s few days ago so thought I would share my thoughts. Gotta say in 20 years of playing and experimenting with gear this is without a doubt the best overdrive pedal i have encountered. It's very solidly built like a little tank and just begs to be stomped on! The variety of sounds is fantastic, setting the mix fairly low with drive up a little it just makes your bass sound warmer, more full and just generally more harmonic, everythings a little sweeter, great for blues. If you get a bit more aggressive with the controls you can make your bass just sound huge and absolutely filthy but bottom and top end clarity are retained whereas most pedals I have had just turn things to mush. With some more tweaking i managed to get that ever sustaining cello sound which is just amazing. True bypass too. All this and I have only had it for a couple of days. I use a P bass through an Ashdown Classic rig in case you were wondering. Best bit of all though is the price! I would happily pay double the asking price for this it really is that good. Think i may have to buy a couple more to have them all set differently! Quote

Machines Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I was only joking don't worry.. not a bad price is it ?! I can get this one for a little less so I might do it. Quote
johnnylager Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Nice one phat, but I was hoping it would be crap so I wouldn't have to buy one and go through this all over again...

Kev Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 all the other ashdown pedals have really put me off looking at them, the filter is just terrible, and id realy need to try one before buying, any stockists in bristol?? Quote
dannybuoy Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 If someone's got one and can make a recording, I'd love to hear this pedal! Quote
Machines Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I will record it when my review is complete, watch this space etc.. Quote
raze Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 This pedal is awesome by far my favorite overdrive ive ever tried The mid switch is a really cool feature and the blend know lets you go from slight overdriven undertones to full on in your face drive pair it up with the aphex bass exciter and a decnt comp and its and awesome metal tone making machine Probly cool for loads of stuff but thats what i use it for lol Buy one NOW Quote
