2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Azimuth Dynamic Overdrive is a recreation of the Hermida Zendrive, first released in 2004 and

taken over by Lovepedal in 2013. The circuit has changed very little since its inception, with the only

major change being the op-amp which happened after Lovepedal took over.

The Zendrive can be seen as a stripped-down Tube Screamer. It starts with a standard Tube Screamer-

style clipping section, followed by a variable R-C treble cut and a buffer. The bass is adjustable via the

"Voice" control, which varies the corner frequency of the filter coming off the op-amp. This also has the

side-effect that the available gain increases as the Voice control is turned up.

Despite the legendary stature of the Zendrive, the circuit has among the lowest parts count of any Aion

FX project and is a very good starting point for new builders.

USAGE

The Zendrive has the following controls:

• Drive controls the amount of gain in the op-amp feedback diode clipping stage.

• Tone controls the treble response of the effect. It's a simple passive filter that only cuts.

• Voice controls the amount of bass while also changing the gain structure. As you turn it up, the

available gain range also increases.

• Volume controls the overall output.
