Description

Capable of driving a stereo rig for huge walls of bass sound.

The NM2 effects pedal is a Dual Distortion Stereo effects device specifically designed for Nate Mendel of the Foo Fighters. This pedal has been designed from the ground up with Nate to ensure the ultimate pedal for Bass Distortion with some very cool features key to the specific application set by Nate from the start of conception.

There is a single Input jack socket and 2 x Output jack sockets - Output 1 & Output 2. Both of these outputs provide the same level of bass signal that is presented at the Input, plus their own individually adjustable mix of 2 separate, and very different distortion effects (one for each output), that can be added to the original dry bass signal for massive bass overdrive effects.

For stereo use each output can be fed to separate amplifiers and the individually adjustable bass overdrive effects switched IN or OUT for Output 1, for Output 2 or both together.
By using the 1+2 switch both effects can be routed to Output 2 allowing the use of Distortion 1, Distortion 2 or both together into a single amplifier if desired.

Because the same level of unaltered bass signal is always fed from input to the output and to this original dry signal is added the distortion effects, you will never lose the full dynamics and bottom end contained in your bass playing.

Brilliant

It was my first OD pedal for my bass, and it offers so much, it has a wide range of sounds and the two channels opens up so many options for me, I use this and a tuner for my indie rock band and that's more than enough for me. Brilliant piece of gear for any bassist!!!

Serviceable Bass Unit

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Lots of options and dials so you can key in the right tone.

“For years I was really frustrated because my band is really loud; drummers loud, guitar players are loud, and in order try and reach that volume with that much low end, in trying to do that every amp I used would just fall apart, and the Ashdown didn’t.” - Nate Mendel at :50s.
