Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion

The AfterShock Bass Distortion brings serious low-end attitude with three distinct overdrive engines that cover everything from smooth vintage warmth to full-blown fuzz mayhem. Straight out of the box, this stereo pedal offers the Tube engine for subtle yet powerful vintage tube overdrive with smooth breakup and plenty of punch, the Heavy engine for aggressive scooped tones with ample highs and thundering lows, and the Fuzz engine for intense germanium fuzz with loads of bottom end and serious grit. The straightforward control panel gives you the tools to sculpt your perfect bass tone, with a Clean knob that lets you blend in just enough clean signal to maintain rock-solid low-end without losing that sonic growl, plus an onboard Tone control to find the sweet spot for any bass and amp combination.

Beyond its impressive standalone capabilities, the AfterShock reveals its true power when connected to Source Audio’s free Neuro Desktop Editor and Mobile App (available for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows). This connection unlocks extended equalisation capabilities, stereo routing options, and access to Source Audio’s extensive library of over 40 overdrive, fuzz, and distortion algorithms for both bass and guitar — each algorithm downloads directly to the pedal. Built on dual drive platforms, the Aftershock can simultaneously run two fuzz tones in parallel, stacked, or split in stereo configuration.

The One Series development philosophy centres on creating pedals that work brilliantly right out of the box while offering much deeper customisation for those who want it. Every One Series pedal maintains full MIDI compatibility when paired with the Neuro Hub (formerly Soundblox Hub), providing the ability to store up to 128 different presets. The Neuro Editors significantly expand the tonal possibilities, offering a vast collection of additional drive, fuzz, and distortion engines alongside an expanded set of editing parameters for crafting your ideal tone.
