The Hermida ZenDrive is touted as a very organic, natural-sounding, tube-like overdrive, the word Dumble is used to describe it. They go for over $200 on eBay these days, but there are clone kits out there for a quarter the price. Are they worth it? Depends on your soldering skills perhaps, and how much time vs. money you're willing to spend.

We have no affiliation with Hermida or the other site, just posting this for informational and reference purposes. All songs attempted to be played are copyright their original writers and are used here only for research/educational purposes which is fair use.

Recording chain:
Epiphone Dot guitar - DI Input of Golden Age Pre-73 - M-Audio 1010 interface
Guitar has Waves GTR plugin (CleanAmp - Clean Default setting) and Waves GTR Stomp Spring Reverb plugin

There is also another kit available which has the case pre-drilled and the components soldered to the board, you just have to solder the wires to the jacks and knobs, less work but costs more. Can't say how it sounds though.

Thanks to Brent Fraser Weatherall for the use of his clone pedal
