Blastronaut 1231 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Gemmill said: What's the story with this pedal mate? Is this one of yours that you've made? I can see the labels for drive, tone and level, but what's the 4th knob do? Missed the 4th knob question, the lower one is a standard tone control, the top one is the Zendrive "voice" control. On paper it doesn't sound all that intuitive but essentially it dials out low end and slightly increases the ammount of gain available. Full ccw, more low end but a bit less drive available on the gain knob, fully clockwise, less low end, slightly more drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, I looked at the original zendrive so assumed that must have been it. Anyway you have yourself a customer. Looking forward to giving it a blast. 👍 And thanks for the detailed explanation on the voice knob BTW. My ears are shit for this sort of thing so I always struggle to work out exactly what the oddly named knobs are actually doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for you, tone is subjective and all that but I'd say the Zendrive is well deserving of the hype, just not the price tag. Most folk seem to like stacking it with another overdrive, Timmy seems the most popular option but a fella once messaged me raving about how great it was into a Voodoo Labs Sparkle drive with its "clean blend" and after finally getting round to building one of those I'd have to say he was right. I fell for it before even stacking it with other pedals, on its own at extreme settings got into those Hellacopters "High Visibility" tones. Return address will be on the box, feel free to publish it anywhere and rip me to shreds if you think I've pulled a fast one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Stacking is great fun tbh. I like just messing with it, you can get some absolutely mad sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19723 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I didn’t even know it was called a dreadnought until just now. My guitar geekery is clearly entry level at best compared to this thread’s regular contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I enjoyed when this @Blastronautkid sauntered into the thread mid-orgasm and told you all that your various expensive pedals were assembled for less than a tenner.
