The Zoom Power Drive PD-01 is a dedicated overdrive unit with the following features:
- Unprecedented warm and full overdrive: Specially developed analog circuit
provides natural-sounding distortion without any trace of stickiness or
hollowness, resulting in distortion that fully brings out picking nuances with
low inherent noise.
- Use as full-fledged booster: With the GAIN control set to zero, the PD-01
gives superb clean sound. The output stage can deliver up to 20 Vp-p, which
drives the amplifier to overdrive with fat, full-bodied sound.
- Mechanical switch for on/off and true bypass: On/off switching is performed
using a mechanical foot switch. In the bypass position, the guitar signal is
passed through without any alteration.
- Sturdy metal chassis: The rock-solid case made of aluminum provides
excellent stability.
- HIGH/LOW equalizer provides versatility: The PD-01 features separate HIGH
and LOW controls, offering flexibility in creating various sounds, from mild
drive tone to sharp, bright distortions.
