The Zendrive 2 incorporates a 12AX7M tube into its design, offering a tonal similarity to the original Zendrive but with a different feel. It provides a subtle but apparent amount of sag to the signal, imparting a warmer, "bluesier" vibe to the sound. The pedal is highly responsive and offers an amp-like feel, adding a beautiful roundness to the tone.

Additionally, the 12AX7M tube in the Zendrive 2 is replaceable with other 9-pin preamp tubes, allowing users to tailor the pedal's response and behavior to their specific preferences. The pedal also exhibits an affinity for boosted signals, adding a subtle depth to any overdrive placed before it. It is noted to play well with other pedals and offers warmth, amp-like response, and a genial disposition.

The Zendrive 2 is suitable for players seeking an incredibly smooth, round, low-to-medium gain overdrive with a distinctive and iconic sound. It is also recommended for those interested in stacking overdrives or seeking one of the most amp-like pedals available.
