From Studio to Pedalboard: The Aesthetic of Multiband Drive
Inspired by mixing techniques where frequencies are processed in bands, the Triple Shot transposes this approach into a compact pedal. Rather than imposing a single tone across the entire spectrum, it splits the signal into three zones to apply saturation where it is most musical. The result: a convincing bass distortion that maintains the low-end foundation while adding presence and bite.
Who Is It For and What For?
This pedal is aimed at bassists of all levels seeking a finely calibrated drive. Alternative rock, modern metal, stoner, punk, or fusion: the Triple Shot adapts to both live and studio contexts. On a pedalboard, it can serve as the main drive or as a coloration block ahead of a preamp, with great responsiveness to playing dynamics and instrument volume.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Ashdown Triple Shot retain the bass frequencies with distortion?
The "Dark" band allows separate control of bass distortion to maintain a dense and clear low end.
How do the Dark, Medium, and Light settings work?
Each frequency range has a dedicated "Roast" control. The bass ("Dark"), mids ("Medium"), and treble ("Light") each receive an independent amount of saturation. With all three Roast controls set to zero, the pedal operates as a 3-band equalizer.
What power supply is required for this Ashdown pedal?
A DC 9 V power supply is required, with a consumption of about 45 mA. The power supply is not included.
Is the Triple Shot suitable for metal and rock?
Its multiband processing is particularly suitable for alternative rock, modern metal, stoner, punk, and fusion. The mids can be boosted to stand out in the mix, while the highs add definition to pick attacks.
What connectivity and bypass does it feature?
The input and output use 6.35 mm jacks, and it includes a true bypass.
