General

While compact, the Aftershock Bass Distortion by Source Audio houses three different overdrive engines and invites you to a true fuzz-festival of tone including low-end crunch. The Tube engine puts out vintage-style tube-overdrive with a supple breakup and plenty of punch; the Heavy engine creates an aggressively scooped sound with a full dose of bass and ample top-end; and finally, the Fuzz engine spurs on that intense Germanium fuzz so many players look for their whole lives. Meanwhile, the intuitive lay-out helps you to create the ultimate tone. The Clean pot lets you mix in the right amount of dry signal for a solid foundation, while the Tone control can be used to hit the sweet spot between distortion, bass and definition. Needless to say, the Drive control determines the amount of distortion that's added to the dry signal.

Neuro Editing Systems for More Sounds and Possibilities

Like all Source Audio One Series pedals, the Aftershock can be extensively tweaked using the Neuro Desktop Editor software for Windows and Mac or the Neuro Mobile App for iOS and Android. Using the software, you can create presets, adjust 'deeper' settings, create effects loops, split the signal, and even stack more distortion engines for extra gain and extra sounds. Any presets can be simply loaded into the pedal and called up whenever needed!

Wrote the following about Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion Effects Pedal

I have not owned this pedal for long but already know this is one to keep hold of. I have not explored the deep editing or downloaded any alternative patches yet and doubt I will need to for a long while as the three pre-set tones are superb. Each is highly organic and rich. The overdrive is very tube like and the fuzz has exceptional deep rich harmonic overtones. The combination of drive level and clean signal level controls means you can dial exactly what you require .This also has the benefit of making the distortion setting extremely useable.
The build quality is excellent and it feels reassuring solid ( I have had another Source Audio one pedal for a long while with no issues). The only downside for me is that has made my EHX ,Ampeg and Ashdown drive pedals all redundant. They are all good pedals but sonically this is a big step up and if you consider all the patches and deep editing it offers it would appear future proof.
You get what you pay for and in this case you get a hell of lot. Top work Source Audio!
