Diverse Distortion Sounds – Choose from traditional Distortion tones such as Tube, Heavy, and Fuzz,
or delve deeper into unique sounds cooked up in the Source Audio lab.

sturdy hardware that will withstand the rigors of the road.

Universal Bypass – True bypass or buffered bypass? The choice is yours. The Aftershock features
high-quality signal relays for true bypass and transparent buffers for analog bypass.
Stacking – Stack two independent distortion circuits in series (or in parallel), all within the same box!
Dual 4-Band EQ + Low Cut – Two independent parametric EQs are included in the Aftershock,
allowing for fine tone control. An optional low cut filter tightens up the low end for bass players.
Flexible Routing – The Aftershock is equally at home in a mono rig or a stereo rig. A variety of routing
modes such as True Stereo, Cascade, Parallel, Dry Sidechain and External Loop allow the Aftershock
to harness the true power of stereo signal chains. Or just use it in Mono mode!
Preset Saving – Save your favorite sound by pressing and holding the footswitch. No need to
remember knob positions in the middle of a show.
Neuro Technology – The Neuro App opens up new possibilities for the Aftershock, including
completely new effect types, additional control parameters, and access to the Neuro Community,
including free presets from artists and other users. The Neuro Hub can store up to 128 presets for
the Aftershock, easily recalled with a MIDI controller. You can also download any effects for the L.A.
Lady Overdrive and Aftershock Bass Distortion and use them on the Aftershock Bass Distortion.
Deep Control Set – Beyond the four knobs on the face of the Aftershock are many additional
parameters. The Neuro App provides access to the inner workings of the Distortion effect for
advanced users who want to create a unique signature sound.
Noise Gate – The built-in adjustable noise gate helps remove unwanted noise.
Clean Path – The clean signal can be mixed in with the distortion as desired, perfect for bass players
who want to hold down the rhythm section with a clean low end.
MIDI Control – All of the Aftershock's parameters can be accessed and controlled using MIDI via the
Neuro Hub or USB. Class compliant USB-MIDI allows the Aftershock to work as a plug-and-play device
with recording software running on Mac and Windows, and the MIDI Learn feature makes control
mapping simple.
