3-Band Active EQ Dual Channel Germanium/MOSFET Overdrive
Introducing the remarkable DR Z Z-Drive, a pinnacle of sonic innovation meticulously crafted to redefine your musical journey. Nestled in the heart of this exceptional creation is the culmination of DR Z's unwavering commitment to excellence, paired with an ardent desire to amplify your tonal aspirations. The inception of this pedal was a culmination of meticulous planning, a desire to unveil a tone machine that not only stands as a testament to quality but sets an unparalleled benchmark in craftsmanship and sonic distinction.
This sonic marvel is a fruit of a serendipitous alliance, where creative brilliance met technical mastery. DR Z's proximity to one of the industry's foremost pedal pioneers, EarthQuaker Devices, provided the perfect breeding ground for innovation. With the virtuoso Jamie Stillman and the prowess of EarthQuaker Devices joining forces, the Z-Drive emerged into existence, promising a new echelon of auditory gratification.
At the core of the Z-Drive lies an active global EQ that unfurls a symphony of tonal possibilities. Embark on a journey between two preamp channels, each with a distinct sonic identity, seamlessly navigated by the channel footswitch. The germanium channel, adorned with authentic NOS germanium diodes, traverses a spectrum from crystalline clean boosts to an expansive, dynamically charged overdrive that breathes life into your soundscapes. On the other hand, the MOSFET channel, a sanctum of high-octane artistry, introduces a more compressed yet transcendently articulate overdrive. From the gentlest graze of breakup grit to a ferocious torrent of distortion, this channel exudes a relentless energy. The integration of hi-fi OPA 2134 op amps within both gain stages stands as a testament to the uncompromising standards embraced by the Z-Drive.
However, the innovation doesn't cease there. The Z-Drive is ingeniously designed to augment the capabilities of single-channel amplifiers or power amps by adding additional channels. A carefully orchestrated dance of sonic personalities awaits your command. By transcending the conventional order of signal processing, where the EQ takes the lead, the Z-Drive mystically conjures an expansive canvas for heightened gain and distortion as the EQ controls are elegantly coaxed clockwise.
The Z-Drive isn't just a pedal; it's an embodiment of duality, an anthology of creative expressions harmoniously coexisting within a single enclosure. Embrace the symphony of possibilities conducted by the interplay between two distinct channels and a comprehensive EQ. A harmonious partnership with your amplifier's tonality awaits, enabling you to sculpt your sound with unprecedented finesse and imagination.
And as a final touch of reassurance, the benevolent folks at EarthQuaker Devices extend their benevolent shield by endowing the Z-Drive with a lifetime warranty, bearing testimony to their unwavering confidence in both the artistry and craftsmanship woven into every fibre of this creation. Elevate your sonic odyssey with the DR Z Z-Drive, where innovation knows no bounds, and the pursuit of sonic excellence finds its ultimate companion.
