Website is solid Dan...simple and elegant.
I haven't thought about running out of DAW to the ZOD...pretty cool. For a killer rock tone I like to run it into the CAPI VP28 into the FC 526 or Splice and dial in an aggressive very fat bass tone. I compared it to the Dizengoff D4 and though I think the D4 is very good the ZOD is just awesome. Direct Tele into the same chain and add the LA2A to the end of that chain and it sounds like I mic'ed an amp. The thing is also built like a tank...USPS killed the package literally lost it for 2-3weeks and when it arrived it was beat up so bad that the peanut packing was shredded into tiny pieces but the ZOD worked! Dan has built me the LA2A Clone and the MK-47 and it is all a very clean build.

Ask and you shall receive.... Here is my true 1972 Jazz bass through Dan's Zod into a vp28 hard, and through fc526 no compression, I'm using Scott Liebers red dots in the receiver position, and his new 1731's in the output positions, just awesome sounding all the way around! Also using a AD4898 in the side chain pre of the 526, the compressor isn't doing anything, just running through the circuit for a little vibe, i'll do some compressing on some stuff and post it as well, I want to add more files now, but i'm not digging the brand new strings and the buzz that's going with them, so some adjustment is in order.... Stay tuned....

I was getting a little frustrated with the buzzes on my new strung bass, so I started loddy dahh, thumb slapping, i'm not so good at that, but the Zod and Fc526 set to 12:1 fast att/rel, made for a fun sound, so i did it for a bit and then tracked this snippet, the Zod really does make an amp totally less necessary IMO, it's dang fat and punchy, the sample below with a complimentary kick drum sound would just pound a record, and i can't believe how noise free it is for having a tube in it! even when you drive it hard, Dan really thought this thing out, it's beyond just a DI imo, it's more like a pre preamp kinda.

Hey Anton, original pups, just set wide open, picking over the neck pup, the Zod really adds some mojo juice to my totally lucky to have jazz bass, it makes it hard to put down, I'll put up some more samples with another DI for comparison in a bit, I'll also put up a couple with the neck pup backed off slightly, while finger picking over the bridge pup, really gets that growly pseudo tuba/fretless Jaco thing going. |

I've used the ZOD a lot at this point. I'll relate my experience anecdotally.
Doing a rock album to tape on the Ampex 16, semi-retroish vibe and we're getting decent takes every one is happy. About 10 days in I decide we need to re-cut a couple tracks. Dan sends me the ZOD to check out at the same time we gonna re-cut tracks.
I put the ZOD on the bass. So the chain is ZOD, modified 1608 channel with EA transformers and SL red dots, Overstayer MAS, Retro 176...I think that's right.
We proceed to re-cut 9 out of 11 songs because the bass sounds so good that everyone is super stoked on the way the tracks are gelling. We decided to change some snares and blah blah too but it was the ZOD.
Pretty god damned good sounding DI. My gear budget is way way way in the red this year so I couldn't buy it. But I will the MOMENT the console is wrapped and the wife frees up some green.
I can't post samples but the album will be out this spring/summer. Single may come out soon. I'll post a link when I can.
Edit: it's a 70s Rick

I'm going to try to pick one up. The Canadian dollar is shit right now so it just doesn't make sense to get one now.
One day a Zod WILL BE MINE!!

Yeah - that sounds fantastic. Damnit, GAS...I really need to purchase a better bass. All I've got right now is the Classic Vibe P-Bass. Not bad actually...maybe I should just drop some different PU's in.

Use the Bo Hansen then. That can't be hugely different from any other passive DI and SHOULD be hugely different from the ZOD. |
