OVERDRIVE- POGO PEDALS Zen Ray ...DUMBLEd for a 3rd time! The Zen Drive is back

$200.00 USD
POGO PEDALS  ZEN RAY OD
The Zen Drive was all about getting Robben Ford's recorded sound simply by listening to it over and over to the recordings. 
Hermida gave Robben a pedal and found that Robben was using the Pedal as his Fly Rig as he went from city to city where the booker of the gig supplied him with a Fender amp and he got his sound from the pedal. The word got out and overnight Hermida were spending day and night hand making just this one pedal. They went to Love Pedal and had them take over making the pedal by licencing it. Eventually Hermida closed shop but  Love Pedals carried on making the pedal. Years went by and Love Pedals two partners had a falling out. So 2 years have passed and still nothing was sorted out. The point is there are no more Zen Drives.
In Dec. 2019 Pogo brought out the Zen Ray. Need I say more? 
Hermida
Love Pedal

CONCLUSION
Prices for the Hermida are as high as $800 and for the Love Pedal as low as  $225. Keep in mind that Love Pedal has not formally shut shop but there hasn't been any Zen Drives on offer for about a year. I think the cheaper used prices for the Love Pedal will double overnite ...and soon.
