Zen Master: based on Hermida Audio/Lovepedal Zendrive
This is the famous "Robben Ford" pedal, which he uses to get thick Dumble tones from (e.g.) a Fender amplifier. Designed by Alfonso Hermida, who has teamed up with Lovepedal.

Lovepedal:
“The standard in dynamic, touch-sensitive overdrive pedals. Cut through the mix with the incomparable Zendrive. Inspired by a legendary guitarist, the Zendrive delivers blues, country, jazz and fusion tones associated with some of the finest, most costly amplifiers in the market. Four knobs control the overall volume, gain, tone and voicing of the pedal. At lower settings, the pedal offers extremely light overdrive sounds reminiscent of tube amps set near the “sweet spot.” At higher settings, the Zendrive increases in gain and sustain, producing tasty overdrive and low distortion tones."

Original controls are:
- Vol: controls the output level (model: Level)
- Gain: sets the amount of overdrive (model: Drive)
- Tone: controls tone (model: Tone)
- Voice: cuts lows (model: Low Cut)
Fractal Audio's Clip Type in the Zen Master model is silicon. The model was rematched to the original pedal in Quantum 5.x.
Personal note:
I prefer a low-gain Zen Master. For example Drive 3, Tone 6.5, Level 3, Low Cut around 400.

About CPU:
- Fractal Audio's Drive models take up varying amounts of CPU. The Zen Master model uses a lot.
- When a Drive block is engaged, CPU percentage will rise during playing, because CPU usage is "amplitude dependent".
