Robben Ford type tones from Zendrive


Recommended Posts

Just got my Zendrive in today. Impressive to say the least. I love the way it reacts to your playing. I'm busy twiddling knobs, and am looking for a Robben Ford-type tone similar to what he gets on "Politician". Using an Anderson Drop Top Classic (H/S/S) through a Peavey Classic 50 head and Mesa widebody 1x12. Any Zendrive settings would be appreciated, since I'm just getting acquainted with this thing.

I ordered mine in early January of this year. Just got it today. Running it through a Peavey Classic 50 head and Mesa widebody 1x12. Sounds great out of the box, but I won't mind getting some sample settings from other users. I'm sure you'll dig it too. It really reacts to your picking technique, and the notes pop out nicely.

i use mine as follows:

 

volume: to taste but ~ 11 o'clock

 

gain single coil: 12-1 o'clock

gain humbucker: 10 o'clock

 

tone: 1-2 o'clock

voice: 10-11 o'clock

 

 

little secret:

every other distortion/od/fuzz pedal you have sounds incredibly better when you put it in front of the zendrive!!!

 

as far as i read over at tgp robben ford uses his with all knobs at 12.
