Finally broke down and went for the Hermida Zendrive. Was looking at the Mad Prof "Little Green" & "Sky Blue" but those prices were a little tough to choke down. I ended up with a Zen for $188 delivered to my door.
I've read all the user reviews, listened to some really great clips. But I refused to buy into the "this is the greatest thing that ever happened in the universe" statements. And great demos sound great because of the player's touch, and the $4000 Diezel amp being used, or the Overdrive Special clone, or the Fulltone TTE along with it. Nice toys, but I'm just trying to say that I did not have super-high expectations about ANY pedal.
Anyway, it arrived today. And I do think it's a really great OD pedal. Delivers those smooth tones on a clean amp, and really gets things nasty through your amp's crunch channel. The only other OD box I've used is a TS9, and this Zen sounds so much better. I'll have to put together a demo for ya. :rockon:
