ASHDOWN ENGINEERING - TRIPLE SHOT
INTRODUCTION
Bass guitar distortion is an effect that is often
compromised due to lack of control and the Ashdown
Triple Shot pedal is a step in the right direction to
ending this compromise. In essence the Triple Shot is
three individual distortion pedals in one case.
The signal from the instrument is split into 3 distinct
frequency bands and fed into 3 distortion generators.
Each band has its own level control before being
recombined to create a full signal. It is therefore
possible to distort only the mid and top bands
keeping the bass clean and tight or to distort only the
mid band for example.
The Triple Shot contains three individual distortion
pedals in one box the Dark (bass) section works from
160Hz down, the Medium (mids) section works from
160Hz to 760Hz and the Light (treble) section from
760Hz upwards.
Distortion can be individually applied to any or all
sections in any amount set by the individual Roast
(gain) controls.
The resultant signals are then recombined by a mixer
section with output level control for each band.
USER GUIDE
In use, the pedal should initially be set with all the
gain controls at zero and the level controls set
equally so that there is no change in volume when
the pedal is switched in/out.
From this initial setting using the output level
controls you can adjust the overall tone of the pedal
being able to cut or boost any of the bands thereby
using the pedal as a shape pedal with no distortion.
Distortion may be added to any or all of the bands,
as distortion is added the respective level control
should be reduced pro rata to maintain the output
level.
Once the final distored sound has been set the
output level should be compared to the bypass
level and adjusted so that there is no jump in
volume when the pedal is switched in via the
momentary footswitch.
