OVERALL OPINION

She is the principal of my overdrive pedals for 3 years
I have other overdrives (DVK technology silvertop, Danelectro Transparent Overdrive, way huge pork Loin, palmer, Ibanez Ts5, Tech21 xxl etc. ..). I like the button voicing quality resulting sounds I like a little less the push pull (I never liked the push pull) the value for money is excellent. I will not repeat that choice because Arteffect out a new model that has the look very good too.

It's a pedal overdrive / distortion fully analog handmade and numbered in Israel. Pedal store what ...
Mine is number 118. So a production dropper.

UTILIZATION

A case resistant to any event with a tribal tattoo screen (I was skeptical at first but I think she has great charm finally), a true bypass switch and 5 knobs:
-Gain with a wide range of distortion (from clean to distortion). This may take knob (pull) and you get even more body and saturation.
-A volume that sends severely (he also can shoot, we always pull you win a stage of additional volume and dynamics)
A treble-
A bass-
-One voice (with the flat-voice is inactive, the fat-voice adds depth to the sound, the voice-focus tightens the grain of the overdrive to make it sharper but not noisy at all).

The pedal operates 9v but the designers have provided a circuit which enhances the voltage to 18v for a larger output level.
Pretty box, stickers of any bôôôôôôté, a manual with very clear examples of settings.

SOUND QUALITY

To summarize: 5 stars versatility and sounds professional!
We can saturate the amp by using it in clean boost or boost with a little fat gain, crunch, overdrive, distortion so angry Marshall and other high gain amps.
She is super transparent and fully complies with the characteristics of the amp and guitar.
I like the settings for sound Dumble, creamy to perfection. Or the possibility of having a Tubescreamer luxury.
It is best to have two, one for soft sounds, crunch and one for the sounds that shake the walls.

Note as well that the pedal is quiet even in extreme settings.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for a few days but for several years without a doubt.
I tested dozens of effect (Fulltone, Homebrew, Mad Professor, Mojo, Xotic, Hermida, Menatone ...). All had interesting features but with the Zenith OD, you have the Swiss Army Knife of overdrive / distortion.
The shop is quality appointments and all sounds are usable.

My set is as follows: Start with 86-micro-Anderson - 1st edition RMC1 Wah-- Zenith OD-- Subdecay Prometheus-- Homebrew Dos Mos (split) - - 2 Hughes and Kettner 20th Anniversary

Hey, I still have room for ...
... A second Zenith OD! ; -0
