Description
The ASABI is Jackson Audio’s collaboration with Mateus Asato, and it rewrites the rules for what a drive pedal on your board can do. Rather than locking you into one clipping circuit, the ASABI runs on interchangeable analog distortion plug-ins — a first for the pedal world — so the gain stage itself can be swapped out like a cartridge, taking you from glassy overdrive breakup to thick, saturated distortion without ever unplugging the pedal from your rig.
- Houses a vast range of overdrive and distortion voices in a single enclosure
- World’s first pedal platform built around replaceable analog distortion plug-ins
- Plug-ins are sold separately and affordably, letting you refresh the pedal’s core tone anytime without buying a new unit
- Designed with Mateus Asato for players who want evolving tonal options at their feet
Where most drive pedals ask you to commit to one flavor of gain, the ASABI treats distortion as modular — buy the pedal once, then keep expanding its character as new plug-ins arrive. On the board, it slots in as your core dirt box, whether you’re chasing a transparent boost into a clean amp or stacking it for a more saturated, amp-like crunch.
The name ASABI translates to “of unusual birth,” a phrase Mateus chose to reflect both his family heritage and the genuinely unconventional design of this pedal. It’s a drive built to keep surprising you long after the first plug-in wears off.
