The Zoom Driver 5000 is a nostalgic gem that managed to capture that elusive metal 'chunk' without the hefty price tag of rack systems. Its standout feature is the legendary 'Stack 2' setting, delivering a sound reminiscent of Metallica's classic tones. However, not all settings shine; many are criticized as muffled or downright awful, particularly the 'Zoom Box' setting. Additionally, its digital nature means it devours batteries and is best used with an external power source. While it may not replace vintage icons, this pedal has solidified its status as a classic for those looking to evoke the 90s metal sound.

Pedal To The Metal (RM Mar 93)

muzines.co.uk

Zoom's Driver 5000 packs a punch with its robust construction and versatile sound options, making it a compelling choice for guitarists. Its speaker simulator offers a full-bodied tone whether played through an amp or directly into a mixer, which is a rare find in pedals. However, the price tag of £180 might deter some, and the battery life is notably short. While the control knobs could use better grip, the overall performance—especially for rock leads—is impressive. This pedal is not just for stage use; it shines in the studio too. If you're seeking a powerful and flexible overdrive solution, the Driver 5000 is definitely worth considering.
