Durham Electronics

Description

The Durham Electronics Zia Drive is a low compression overdrive pedal designed for rhythm guitar players. It aims to eliminate the feeling of sag in the fingers and provide a tight and chimey sound. The pedal is designed to make a 6L6 amp sound like EL84’s and add low-end shine to an EL-34 based amp.

Key features include:
- Hand-built and wired
- Teflon wire throughout
- Non-true bypass with a high-quality buffer
- Switch Craft jacks
- Alpha full-size potentiometers
- Bright blue LED indicator
- Uses standard negative tip 9V DC supply (not included)
- One-year warranty from the manufacturer

The Zia Drive is described as smooth, sweet, and transparent, with a clear and singing overdrive suitable for rhythm players. It also functions as a clean boost with a sparkle and can provide a bluesy touch reminiscent of early ‘70s Stones. The Tone control is designed to preserve the low end of the guitar regardless of its setting.

The pedal's dimensions are 2 1/4" x 4 1/4". It is not true bypass, and it is reported to be very transparent and hi-fi sounding, not coloring the sound when bypassed.
