What ever happened to the zendrive?

Recently sold my Zen 1 and got a Zen Drive 2. IMO it is the BEST. Put a NOS 12AU7 in it and it is BOMB!!!!

 

The Zendrive is soooooooooo 2010.

 

Pedals on TGP are like hit pop songs - people think they sound amazing and listen to them ad nauseam...until a new one is released.

 

NOT the case with the Zen Drive!!!

 

I think the Robben Ford crowd graduated to amps.

 

I don't use my zen drive with my amps (red plates) but I definitely bring it along to jams or other situations where i don't have my amp and I don't know what amps are available.

 

Not cool anymore. This thread will pop up for the Strymon Timeline in a few years.

 

keeping mine!!

 

I've had mine on my pedalboard for a couple of years. I think it is pretty much a one-trick pony. Fortunately, the trick is "greatest lead guitar OD on the market" as far as I'm concerned.

 

It does seem to have kinda dropped out a little bit, I've never had the pleasure of owning one or even trying one for that matter. I'd like to some day.

 

I use mine for exclusively for leads as well. Great pedal, likes volume.

 

DITTO!

 

It's a great pedal. I love what it does to my tone. I use it for leads and melody lines. It's a pretty magical little pedal. I took it off my board for awhile, because I have too many pedals. It just went back on, and I can't believe I took it off on the first place.

I think it's a classic.

Maybe they aren't as talked about, because they are easier to get. Not so much 'impossible to get' mojo.

 

good thing i dont care about what the pedal de jour is. i just found what worked for me and my playing and stopped messing around with everything else.

been 4 glorious years with my zendrive. love (LOVE) it and dont really care about other drives at all. i do also own a KOT which is equally as good (and of course different) but its not on my board. i have it in case i go out and dont bring my board and it lives in my gigbag. i usually get "more" from my zen by using my EP booster..

 

Got the Zen 2. I love it for rhythm as much as lead. I have had alot of drives over the last year or so, good ones that cost alot. It's a TGP thing. Anyway, the Zen is my favorite. At band practice I'll tap dance through 4 different OD's during a song and usually end up on the Zendrive.

 

Everyone ditched theirs for the Alphadrives!

j/k

 

Lol! Anyone alpha around here? I love the two rock and ethos comparison video I saw once.
