Will someone please do a short or long demo of the new Z-Drive pedal for everyone to hear! It's going to be a couple of weeks before I can purchase one from the dealers and I would really love to hear this pedal particularly with a Dr. Z amp or even better a THERAPY! Mac

Keep your eyes peeled on Gearmanndude on YouTube. Doc sent him a pedal a little while ago specifically to do a demo.

Paul did a great demo using the Z Drive through a Z-Lux I believe during the Z Fest jam on all the tunes he played. Awesome crunch and leads.... Especially with his Red 335 (oh how I covet thee... ?) Someone may have made videos Ed

Mine gets in on Friday
I'll make a demo with my strat and JAZ
Will also make a vid comparing it to my maxon od 820 and mad professor simble
I'm looking forward to the inctedible versatility this is gonna add to my rig
3 band EQ plus germanium light crisp breakup one side, saturated Maserati gt on the other? Plus the other overdrives on my board? Plus the sweet natural breakup on the JAZ 20 watt mode?
It's like a n all you can eat buffet of TONE

If we are talking demo-ers we like, I've been liking Reverb.com demos lately. After awhile all demos just get sorta stale...the first time I heard Mike Herman I was blown away by his style ... So cool, and such great lines. Same with Andy at PGS...this is the era where instead of rock stars inspiring we get inspired by pedal demo-ers But alas both Andy and Mike have sparked better playing on my part. Don't worry fellas they will pop up.

Great....and he had to demo it with the Dote. Not a pedal guy here but I was impressed with that rich dynamics the pedal transparently inserted in the already established sonic landscape

It sounds really good! I can see that a thorough demo could easily last 15-20 minutes due to all of the functionality. This will be a fun drive pedal to own!

It seems to be able to give u a nice midrange bump, but without sounding like a tubescreamer. Instead of being nasal, its got nice body. I'm itching for tomorrow!

I felt the same Mark so your not on your own. Though I am sure it will have the exemplary build quality and tone you would expect from Dr Z. I listened to both on my iPad so will try later on my laptop through my monitor speakers and a decent interface. I am not a big pedal user but seem to be have a collection of drive pedals that get very infrequent use unless I need to play at lower volumes . I look forward to more demoes ,especially with a Maz 18.

GMD, Herman and Andy are great demo dudes Agreed. However, I like GMD the best due to his constant tweaking... in real time. And live type atmosphere. Plus...GMD is like the coolest dude on the planet! Mike Hermans super produced demo's are fun, but seem to showcase his awesome playing and production skills more than the actual product. Or should I say, that's what I focus on.... Just my observations... I liked the Les Paul demo best. Can't wait to try it for myself!

Sounds really good to me. Very transparent with the EQ knobbies set to noon. I see more of my retirement funds going to this!

The demos sound killer through my KRK VXT 6's. Listen to the demos through quality speakers to get the full effect. Doc you have made a most excellent drive pedal. Love the design. Good on ya!

Nice demos from GMD. I love how the Les Paul sounds through it. The Germanium side sounds so good I'd be happy with just that as a single channel pedal! It seems that there's a whole lot of gain on the Mosfet side available, which I wouldn't use much personally. The EQ section is awesome.
I do prefer that GMD would use less of the demo time strumming chords. I'm looking forward to more demos to hear single string and up the neck playing.

There are many things I love about this demo; first I am so glad GMD plays through an Antidote which I also have; secondly I also play an R9 amongst others. Thirdly I have to say that the best thing about GMD is his boots! Man there is no way I can keep up with that cat! The Dote by itself is incredible, then to bump it up with the Z-Drive takes it to yet another level. For me the chord strumming helps me hear the string separation/articulation or if the pedal turns the chord into one sonic blob. What is cool is that you can get the old school drive and some modern tones out of this beasty. I like both the green and especially the red channel with it's "More Gain/More Pain" sound. Top it off with a lifetime, transferrable warranty and you got a brick house baby! There are a zillion great OD pedals out there but this one stands out for me, thanks GMD. I will be placing my order shortly!
