Features

The Zoom Power Drive PD-01 is a dedicated overdrive unit with the following features.

Unprecedented warm and full overdrive

A specially developed analog circuit provides totally unmuffled, natural-sounding distortion without any trace of stickiness or hollowness. This results in natural-sounding distortion which fully brings out picking nuances. Inherent noise is also kept very low.

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 drive 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.
