We’re getting back to basics today as we continue our look at some incredible pedals from TC Electronic. The Zeus Drive Overdrive is a legendary dynamic overdrive/boost pedal with 2 clipping modes and optional buffered bypass. With its highly sought-after overdrive boost circuit, this golden chalice among overdrive pedals has a luxurious warm tone and quite an astonishing dynamic response, injecting the nectar of the Gods directly into your guitar sound.
The Zeus Drive’s dual concentric gain control progressively blends overdrive into your clean signal whilst simultaneously increasing clipping for a crystal clear, amp-like touch and response. The drive section of this all-analog circuit comes fully armed with a pair of 1N34A Germanium diodes that deliver smooth, soft clipping and sweet, pleasing highs. Rather than being armed with the same old traditional tone control, the Treble knob allows you to dial-in and tailor your highs, without ever thinning the lows. Engage the FAT switch to increase bass and literally fatten up that bottom end for gut-wrenching, chugging, riffery.
There’s even a dip switch inside the belly of the Zeus Drive for you to choose between true bypass or a high quality discreet buffered bypass: the option is all yours. Housed in an amazingly compact, built-like-a-tank metal box, this beast also internally steps up your 9V DC voltage, resulting in huge dynamic range and buckets of output level on tap via the Volume control, beyond all proportion to its compact size. Cheers to TC Electronic on a powerful, useful and compact drive for the ages – check out their website for more info, and be sure to check out our demo below to see the Zeus Drive Overdrive in action!!
