One of the standout features of the Geezer Butler Pedal of Doom is its switchable EQs. With an active 5 band EQ on each drive, you can control the pre-EQ of your sound and achieve two separate tones that can be used individually or combined for even more tonal options. This gives you greater flexibility in shaping your sound and allows you to cut through the mix or sit back with rich depth exactly where you want to be. The switchable EQs are easy to use and can be punched in at the desired moment to give you much-needed boost in rich harmonics. Whether you're looking for a smooth, warm tone or a powerful, biting sound, the switchable EQs on the Geezer Butler Pedal of Doom give you the tools you need to dial in the perfect tone for your music.
The Geezer Butler Pedal of Doom features dual VU meters that are designed to ensure your bass signal is balanced on the input and output of the signal path. The Input meter allows you to drive the EQ to the desired level, depending on the output of your instrument, while the Output meter ensures the signal going back to your amp is as it goes in to avoid any unwanted gain jumps or gain bumps when required. These dual VU meters make it easy to monitor your signal levels and ensure that your tone is consistent throughout your playing. Plus, they add a touch of vintage charm to the pedal's sleek design, making the Geezer Butler Pedal of Doom a stylish addition to your pedalboard.
Living up to its name, the Pedal of Doom boasts a dedicated 'Doom' circuit that delivers rich, harmonic distortions. Designed to help you achieve the iconic Geezer Butler bass tone that has made him a legend, you can easily create the crunch with gain and volume controls.
These make it easy to dial in just the right amount of gain for those moments when you need to bring forth a cataclysmic sound. Even better, the circuit is switchable so you can easily toggle between clean and distorted sounds, giving you even more tonal options to play with. Whether you're looking for a smooth, warm tone or a powerful, biting sound, this Ashdown special can voice it with ferocity.
The Geezer Butler Pedal of Doom features an on-board transformer isolated DI output with a ground lift switch. This allows you to send your bass signal directly to a mixing console or audio interface, bypassing the need for a microphone and amplifier. Additionally, the ground lift switch helps eliminate hum or noise caused by ground loops, making it perfect for experienced bassists who want a clean, noise-free signal. This feature makes the Pedal of Doom versatile and reliable for both studio recording and live performances.
