Jackson Audio Asabi Distortion/Overdrive Mateus Asato Signature

Description

JACKSON AUDIO ASABI DISTORTION/OVERDRIVE MATEUS ASATO SIGNATURE

El Guapo is a dual-channel overdrive pedal produced by Jackson Audio and designed in collaboration with Mateus Asato. Conceived as a Marshall amp "in a box", ASABI faithfully reproduces the sound of a Marshall Plexi in overdrive mode and the unmistakable distorted sound of the Marshall JCM800 in distortion mode. Both modes have 4 available presets, all selectable and recognizable by the different color of the engage LED.

Another special feature of Asabi is the Gain Cycle feature: if you've ever had to increase the gain during a live performance and tried to do so by moving the pedal's knob with your foot, well, with Asabi you won't have this problem anymore. By pressing the two switches simultaneously, the Gain will increase by 25% with each press, up to 100%. Pressing again returns to the initial 25%.

Other optional modules available will include LARGE MOUSE – an entirely analog circuit with the legendary sound of the ProCo Rat Distortion – with many more modules soon to follow, a modular concept that will transform your ASABI into a chameleon drive!

Asabi is available in Rome and online.
