Tru-Fi 9v Colordriver 9 Volt Overdrive Fuzz Guitar Pedal, Orange

The original Colorsound Overdriver was release in 1971 and ran on 9V to replace the Power Boost that ran on 18 volts. This was to tame the Power Booster as before the master volume mod the pedal was TOO LOUD at 18V so the 9V version was released.  It was very popular and was used by such guitar superstars as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, and T-rex Marc Bolan. The pedal was known for it's powerful overdrive but also it's incredible boost factor. If used directly after the guitar it could be used in a host of ways to pushing fuzz pedals, boosting signal or just balls out rocking.

Tru-Fi hasproduced the 18V Colordriver to a true Power Boost replica done to the correct BC184 Transistors with two major UPGRADES. One, the unit runs on 9Vs but the voltage is increased inside to 18v so you do not need to run a 18V supply. Second, the pedal has the master volume on the side so you can dial down for whatever use you desire. You want killer Beck type overdrive? Crank the gain and push the master volume a ting over unity and watch your guitar tone explode. You want to push your amp for a fuller tone but still pretty clean? Back the gain way off, and push the master all the way. BOOM. You want to push a Big Muff for a David Gilmour transparent solo tone? Push the master volume up in the Muff.

This is a killer reproduction, in an enclosure that is half the size (slightly bigger than a Boss Pedal). While unique, it still hints of the original. Inside the unit you will find correct "real" transistors that just gives it the genuine sound. The beauty of these pedals is the volume pot on the side so you can really push your amp, this gives it the shine of a driven amp mixed with the thick fuzz overdrive tone you want.

These pedals are tone machines, always try to use an amp that has some mild grit, the addition of fuzz at that point is the secret to tone.

Of course, the Tru-Fi Colordriver Fuzz/Boost is true bypass, sports LED, and manual!
