Jackson Audio Asabi Overdrive Distortion Pedal – Mateus Asato Signature

Get A Huge Array Of Tones & Analog Distortion Plug Ins With The Jackson Audio Mateus Asato Signature Asabi Overdrive Distortion Pedal

The Mateus Asato Signature Pedal, the Asabi, is a distortion and overdrive pedal that contains a HUGE array of tones and is also the world’s first pedal to feature analog distortion plug-ins!

To keep things interesting on your pedalboard, we developed the technology to create replaceable distortion plug-ins so you can swap the distortion circuit in the Asabi without having to buy a completely new pedal! Because we all like to try out new pedals, these affordable plug-ins allow you to buy the pedal once and update it with new plug-ins all the time!

The name Asabi, which means, “of unusual birth” was chosen by Mateus because it speaks to the unique nature of this pedal, as well as his own family heritage. Keep reading below to learn more about how the Asabi can bring your tone to life in new and creative ways!

Stock Distortion Overview

The stock distortion plug-in of the Asabi is called the MODERN HIGH GAIN and is a high-gain, hard-clipping circuit that is based on the Marshall JCM800. Because of this, the resulting tone is very open, crisp and addictingly fun to play! Everything from 80’s hard rock to more modern high gain tones can easily be found in the Asabi!

True Analog Plug Ins

The most groundbreaking feature of the Asabi, is that we developed the technology to create true analog distortion plug-ins! These plug-ins allow you to completely change the distortion circuit in the Asabi without having to buy a completely new pedal! These are not software updates that load a different preset; they are completely analog circuit boards that contain all the opamps, transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors that make up a distortion pedal!

The Asabi comes preloaded with the MODERN HIGH GAIN plug-in. This plug-in harnesses the power and gain of the legandary JCM800 amplifier and puts it into pedal form! Depending on where the GAIN knob is set, the MODERN HIGH GAIN plug-in will do everything from classic rock to the heaviest rock known to man!
