The Vanilla Zen was and is my Favorite Zen. I have sworn off all Love Pedal Products do to his service. I bought a bunch of LP”s on SNS buying two to three at a time and had issues with mulitple pedals. That is ONE customer, with mulitple problems. I have had the Jubillee and other drive pedals with horrible floor noise issues, that was deemed “Part of Circuit”. The Shampooie that I bought used that had horrible crossover between the sides where you could hear the tremolo even when it was off. After contacting LP, he said “That circuit never worked out and they all have similar issues.”.
I have since moved on and I can’t believe that Hermida hasn’t. That pedal is a goldmine and more players should be using it.
Jubilee has been replaced with the MXR Duke of Tone
Lovepedal Amp11 has been replaced with MXR TImmy
Echophonics replaced with the MXR Echoplex
Gen 5 replaced with another MXR Echoplex
The best replacement for the Zendrive is the Barber Burn Unit, it’s more flexible, the service is second to none.
Barber has a pedal that will replace any of the above mentioned and they sound fantastic with ANY AMP.
