Love it! If you absolutely need to stack with a boost channel then run a boost pedal after the Z Drive. Or if you like stacking your OD's then stack'em. Yes it takes up an extra spot on your board but why not; will losing space on your board affect your tone? I'm in...

Hey guys... just to be clear, I was asking a question on the stacking, not a criticism.
I do see the benefit in having a single pedal that has one tone stack and two ways to generate distortion level and flavor. It is different than the model that was stuck in my head... so I wanted to make sure I understood (probably could have looked closer to the button labels... duh). I think it brings a different value, and is probably a strong differentiator in a crowded pedal market. Should be cool... I'm looking forward to experiencing that utility in a gigging situation.

YES!!! Exactly what I want. SOOO glad it's not another drive/boost pedal. This could turn my single channel Maz into 3-channels of sorts, involving the eq bypass. I dig the mix of DrZ and Earthquaker knobs. As a bonus, I'll stake my strat that it sounds GREAT!!!

Now my EZG goes to a 3 channel Beast with a pristine clean channel...I wonder what it will do to my Antidote? Man I'll be rocking it like a Pagan Warlord!!

OK, I'm going a little nuts with all this speculation and mock-ups of the Z-DRIVE. I wanna hear it. Now. What's the going rate for a kidney these days?

Will probably trade my EarthQuaker Devices Palisades for the Z-Drive on my pedalboard!

I just told my wife I would ease up on the gear for a while! Oh well. Any ETA? Fall? Early 2016?

For the sake of full disclosure, here is the latest on the Z Drive. Jamie and EQD are having an unbelievable growth and expansion period. This unfortunately is good for EQD, but bad for DRZ. More delays as I see it. I was promised a working full graphics unit for me to photo, build a website page, and send to Gearmandude for a demo by early next week, fingers crossed. Boards and enclosures are ordered with first deliveries arriving at my shop by the end of August.
Not the best news but it is the most currant update I can offer. You guys think you're anxious .

Hi Dr Z, Super-cool about Earthquaker-It's great to hear that they are doing so well!
As you have taught me, patience can lead to great creations. The Z-Drive sounds like a really cool idea, and this z-fanatic is glad it's coming!!!
Thanks for the update DR Z!!!

I like the idea... looks like two separate and different pedals with two different Z tweaked flavors.
My only question is can it run on a 9 volt battery only (with out a power supply) for a grab n go battery only board??

Doc, Thanks so much for the update and status of the "Z-Drive"! I know this question was tossed around several times in the earlier post but I'm going to ask again can you tell everyone if the Z-Drive is going to be offered in a choice of colors are just a standard black finish! Mac

Mac I won't say never Mac. But the first 250 will be Black powder coat. That is fastest and easiest way for me to get the initial first run available. Though it hasn't been fast or easy......
