Built for bassists who want aggressive, articulate drive tones with flexible control, the Ashdown John Myung JMY-DD Double Drive pedal combines two independent drive channels with real-time metering, rugged construction and direct-output connectivity for stage, studio and pedalboard use. Developed with Dream Theater bassist John Myung, this signature pedal provides two complementary drive circuits that can be used independently or stacked for a wider range of distorted bass tones.
Two Distinct Drive Channels
Drive 1 uses Gain, Loud and Tone controls to shape harmonic distortion ranging from added warmth and grit to more aggressive drive. Drive 2 provides a vintage-style fuzz voice with Grit and Burn controls for dialing in additional texture and saturation. With independent controls for each circuit, the JMY-DD lets you shape two distinct drive sounds around your bass, playing style and musical setting.
Stackable Gain With Visual Control
Each drive channel can be used independently, or both can be stacked for layered drive textures and increased saturation. Dual VU meters monitor input and output signals in real time, providing a visual reference for signal levels as you adjust the pedal or move between basses and pickups.
Developed With Dream Theater Bassist John Myung
A founding member of Dream Theater, John Myung has spent decades bringing technical precision, speed and a distinctive bass voice to the progressive metal band’s complex arrangements. Developed in collaboration with John, the JMY-DD Double Drive reflects the demands of a playing style that calls for both articulation and aggressive drive. Its independent and stackable circuits provide multiple levels of distortion and fuzz, while the rugged Zintec steel chassis, alloy over panel and direct-output connectivity equip this signature pedal for stage and studio use.
