What a great pedal and tone..! I see Larry Carlton is using a zenkudo when he`s not utilising his main Dumble/Bludo rig. I saw Larry play live with the zenkuo and his usual 335..and the tone was outstanding. Mr Tanabe is certainly onto something with his pedals..! Great video and demo thanks.. Cheers
I have DumZen Twin. Done extensive testing, the ONLY difference between the two sides is that the Dumkudo is capable of more drive- that is IT . Both sides/pedals will go from clean boost to lots of drive. I have a long LONG discussion of this pedal on the web.
finalmente uno che lo suona come si deve, telecaster ok e gibson 335 e un amplificatore come si deve e un chitarrista che emula il suono di un howard dumble bludotone.E' possibile che uno si compra uno zenddrive o dumkudo e via dicendo e poi lo utilizin tutti così'La fender è fatta per avere quei suoni e meno male, e ci sono marshall e fender, imbattibile.Ma non per snaturare il suono di una fender.Meno male che c'è qualcuno come te che sà come usarlo come vuole...tra l'altro costa anche un'occhio....quasi.Grazie per il video simone
Ciao!! L'ho avuto per un po', comprato su Mercatino qualche anno fa. L'ho poi rivenduto... bello ma al fine non indispensabile per me. Mi spiace, azz...
Hi Mark! Thank you for your interest. Basically I use a "minor to major" approach. I mean : chords are Fm Gm and CMaj, so on the first two chords I play Cm eolian (Eb major) and, on CMaj I play C Lydian most of the time. Another cool way of playing this way is to play C minor pentatonic over Fm and Gm and B minor pentatonic (D major pentatonic) over Cmaj for a sophisticated lydian sound (ex at 2:08). Cheers!
Awesome tone, I also have a 335 and tele but I'm not sure which one to get Zenkudo or Dumkudo? I know Mr. Tanabe makes a pedal with both models in one but is it worth the extra $150 on top of the price of the Zen/Dumkudo single pedal? Owners of the Dumkudo were complaining it gets too loud past 9 o'clock, thanks for making the video.
..Hi Ivan, first of all thank you very much the kind words. To be honest, me too I noticed that the "sweet spot " of the Zenkudo is a lot loud compared to other overdrive pedals. Considering this, I usually use it as a stand alone overdrive sound, set at "solo" volume. Regarding the Zen/Dumkudo in one single pedal I'm sure It's a glorious combination... I've never tried the Dum, but I have to say also that, if it's true that it has more gain than the Zen, It's also true that you can place a clean boost before the Zenkudo (as I do!), to increase the gain when you need it. Hope you find it helpful! Cheers.
