Product Description
The Only Bass Distortion Pedal You Need Out of the box, Source Audio's Aftershock bass distortion pedal packs three potent overdrive engines to deliver tremendous tonal range that encompasses every flavor of dirt your bass could ever desire. The Tube engine serves up a powerful — yet subtle — vintage tube overdrive with creamy breakup and gobs of punch. Heavy spits out aggressive scooped distortion with crisp highs and massive lows. The Fuzz engine has an intense palette of germanium fuzz tones on tap, all of it sporting beaucoup bottom and gargantuan grit. Aftershock’s elegant, powerful control panel gives you the tools to finely sculpt your signature bass tones. Its Clean knob is a dry/wet blender that lets you mix in just enough clean signal to maintain rock-solid low end without affecting the pedal’s prodigious girthy growl. Adjust the onboard Tone control to find the sweet spot on the Richter

The RED mode lets you recall the patches regardless of where the knobs are set which is handy if you're 2 year old (like mine) enjoys turning knobs while you're away. There are 3 fully customizable storage slots, selectable via the mini toggle. The app is easy to navigate and make changes to the tone. You can download the app for free and navigate through it before buying the pedal (this will show you what all you can customize, which is more than enough). You can even upload other One Series pedals into the 3 slots.
The GREEN mode (stock mode) can be altered and saved over, but when recalled it is subject to where the knobs are set. You can toggle between the RED and GREEN modes (or banks) by just holding down the switch (the time it takes to switch is also adjustable). So you can toggle between two sounds without having to bend over and flip a switch.
I find it to be a very transparent overdrive and/or distortion with more options than most anyone would ever need. I've owned and used many drive/distortion pedals, including the Billy Sheehan. They either add too much in the mids or you lose the bottom end (even when they say you dont) or sound too buzzy and/or farty. Also, for a digital pedal, I'm impressed with how natural the sound is. You can get a nice pushed tube sound, or call up a fat octave fuzz.
Internally you can set it up to do lots of things like: be two gain stages in series, or two patches parallel to stereo outputs, buffered bypass or true bypass, noise gates and filters, make the knobs adjust other parameters, etc.
If I were starting my search for the perfect drive/distortion pedal, I'd start here, and probably stop here. The only thing I'd add would be a separate foot actuator to toggle between the 3 stored settings. The presets are great as are the other factory loadable patches from the app. You can also store (on the app) up to 128 of your own patches (I think it's that many - more than I'd need anyway).
I've not had any quality issues, nor do I expect to. I'd buy it again, and recommend it to a friend.
The Tube/Heavy/Fuzz switch blows my mind, because once you switch them, all the controls nobs makes each mode sound completely different.
A small tip, I'm playing in a way where my Bass sounds like a bass + lead guitar at the same time, and that happens if you pair this with a POG or Pitchfork, but because the Heavy and Fuzz modes are so versatile you end up with a surprisingly clean distorted guitar tone that doesn't sounds like a bass.
Anyways, this worth the money spent!!!! Every buck!

If that weren't enough, the Aftershock represents an incredible value. In addition to being extremely flexible, it comes with a power supply; most pedals don't. And many OD/Distortion pedals are significantly more expensive and don't offer the configurability, quality (and power supply) like the Aftershock does. It is a spectacularly good bass pedal.

I use my Aftershock with synths and drum machines, both with a Radial REAMP loop and with line level FX loops via my RME interface. I use it in a studio setting with the software editor.
I have about 10 dirt pedals. I am replacing almost all with the Aftershock. It is that good.
When using the software editor over USB cable, this thing is amazing as are all of the Source Audio pedals I have tried.
You are getting two independent distortion engines at once. they can be arranged in serial, parralel or true stereo (Engine B follows A's settings). Engines vary from mild overdrive, gated fuzz, distortion to brutal wave folding. 26 engines! Parametric EQ, noise gate, spectral gate that only guts the highs.
Some features that set this apart
6 Presets from the box, more via Neuro Hub
Each engine has a wet/dry mix (essential for bass and synths)
There is a clean mix hi cut filter (finally!)
There is Voice and Voice Frequency parameters that change the frequency characteristics of each Engine
Input has a hi pass
Expression pedal can control any combination of the front panel knobs Drive, Output, Wet/dry, Treble
Hardware Clean knob and Tone knob can be remapped per preset
The distortion engines sound very close to the real thing, for example I compared it to my slanted ProCo RAT, a Myomorpha RAT clone and the Aftershock. The Aftershock sounded better than the clone, and while having slightly less lower harmonics than the ProCo, it had no noise and the addition on the excellent EQ and noise gate. Aftershock will replace my RAT(s).
