MayR Not Zen OD

An original sound

**** THIS WAS WORK IN PROGRESS: MY FINISHED ZENDRIVE MODEL IS NOW IN A PATCH CALLED "ZenLike" *************************************** ZENDRIVE Experiment: I don't consider this a complete patch. It's my "scratchpad" to create a Zendrive like OD from within the Helix. There's an FX loop within the patch that I used to swap between my physical Zendrive and my modeled Zendrive. I left the loop in there for those that want to try the same thing on their own. I started with the May…Er May Not patch cleared stuff out of the path 1 to have some room to work. Amp, compressor, and reverb are all the same settings as the patch above. I created a subpath so that I could put my "work in progress in the subpath and then toggle between the subpath and the FX Send/Return 1. I've got a pretty accurate model of my Zendrive put together using the G 800 BASS Preamp ahead of the Minotaur. It sounds like an odd combination but it was the right blend of preamp and EQ to put ahead of the Minotaur. If you go to stomp box mode, there's a "Zenlike" footswitch to activate the OD. I used my "go to" settings on my physical Zendrive and did most of the matching with the drive around 4 1/2 and if you set the Minotaur drive at around 5 or 6 you're right in the game. I could set the gain from 1.5 to 8 or so on the Minotaur and match the gain on the Zendrive from about 2 to 8. ***The G 800 preamp can really be left alone*** I tried to balance the drive, master, and boost of the G 800 to match the character of the Zendrive. I will mainly just adjust the Minotaur drive to taste going forward. Of course, there are no rules, tweak it til you like it and make it your own…EDITED TO ADD: IF YOU LIKE THIS, DEFINITELY TRY MY ZENLIKE PATCH. It's the FINISHED PRODUCT.
