Most of us probably associated Ashdown Engineering with bass gear but its six-strong Pro-FX range of effects pedals has a trio for guitar, comprising a the Pro-FX Two-Band Boost, Pro-FX Retro Drive and the Pro-FX Vintage Fuzz.
The pedals were designed by Ashdown’s Dave Green, the man responsible for the Dr Green effects range and each have robust metal casings with four small rubber feet and feature a lit Ashdown logo when active. The front-facing connections facilitate close side-by-side pedalboard placement.
