DamyFx has released ZenD, a free overdrive VST3 plugin for Windows.
ZenD is inspired by the Hermida Zendrive, the famous "Dumble in a box" loved by Robben Ford and by generations of guitarists chasing that warm, vocal, dynamic tone.
At the heart of ZenD lies a faithful emulation of the original circuit: an asymmetric MOSFET-style soft-clipping stage that reproduces the behavior of the 2N7000s in the pedal's op-amp feedback loop. The result is a smooth, harmonically rich saturation that compresses like a tube: it stays clean when you brush the strings and opens up when you dig in, responding to your guitar's volume knob just like a real amplifier.
