Jackson Audio Asabi

 

Developed with Mateus Asato, one of the predominant guitar voices of today, the ASABI Modular Distortion/Overdrive pedal had a two-year development process. Every detail was painstakingly refined to ensure that both the Distortion and Overdrive channels would work together, to perfectly recreate the soulful overdrive and the liquid high-gain tones that legendary guitarist Mateus Asato is known for. Incorporating the Jackson Audio signature modern-day control features such as Clipping Styles, a 3-band Active EQ for maxing out the pedal’s tonal flexibility, their innovative GAIN CYCLE circuit and full MIDI control and the result is undoubtedly one of the most versatile platforms for drive tones ever created. 
In addition, Jackson Audio has developed the technology to create replaceable distortion modules for ASABI - analog circuit boards that can be easily swapped out to fundamentally change the tonal direction of the pedal. While a range of modules will be available, the pre-installed MODERN HIGH GAIN module gives you a plethora of tones, ranging from classic rock to crushing heavy metal!
