So, some of you may have been following this saga.
The story picks up with me getting home on Friday and seeing a little note on the table that the mailman was here and he couldn't deliver a package from a one "Hermida" because it needed to be signed for.
As Alf said....he sent it.
Saturday morning, as it was starting to monsoon, I geared up and went down to the post office to pick up a very small and very unassuming little package.
It wasn't until that afternoon that I got to plug it in and see what I thought. I hauled out my modified Blues Junior (Billm mods) and my 73' Strat and plugged it in.
One of the reviews said the pedal didn't have very much push to it. I took this to heart and set the amp to be just about overdriven.
...that review was wrong.
There's about as much drive on the ZenDrive as about 3/4 of a standard Tube Screamer. It's no slouch, but it's not an "angry hive of bees" either. It's really, well, warm...and transparent. I think that's what blew me away about it. It's the most natural drive I've ever heard from a pedal. It shapes the sound, but kind of in a way where it makes the amp sound more like, well, an amp. Notes just seem to kind of jump and hang in a way I'd always wanted to hear from an amp. It's hard to describe.
I'd been up in the air about keeping it for awhile. I still am to be honest. But if my ears still keep hearing what they did I'm afraid to say I may end up ordering another one.
