Zendrive

For something that is meant to be simple and zen like this caused me way too much stress. I had issues with one of the pots that I had to desolder which was annoying.

Its in a 1590B and the top mounted jack measurements are TIGHT! I went with these measurements and it fits perfectly - https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/1590b-top-mount-jacks-measurements.6511/

Now it's all done it sounds great. I tried a few op amps including the NE5532, TL072 and AD712 and I prefer the sound of the pricey original AD712. I'm running it at 18v, which to my ears sounds thicker and more dynamic. Also that's great because I have a spare 18v port on my power supply.

Some proper amateur attempts of stamps and graphics which gives it some "character" :ROFLMAO: . I need to get better at decals.

Nice. I might put my zendrive back on the board tomorrow. I preferred the AD712 as well. The tone and voice controls on mine are back to front because I messed the decal up and was too lazy to fix it.

Awesome - after playing with it for a while now I really enjoy how it stacks with other overdrives.
