OVERDRIVE- TRU-FI Colordriver ... the Gilmour Colorsound pedal cloned beautifully!!! gotta have!!!

 TRU-FI COLORDRIVER 

$160.00 USD
There are a few clones of the famous Colorsound Power Boost
also known in America as the Overdriver and to be fair as long as they are using 4 BC109 vintage transistors they all sound damn good.
There is an actual licenced one by Macaris that even comes in the original style casing but it is not cheap $400.00 USD with a looooong waiting list!

The Tru-Sound is scary good and I would argue they have the sound nailed! It is reasonably price. Best of all it uses a 60's style casing. :-)



Check it out! The 'boys' are blown away big time!!!
Mick now uses one on his 'live board? A guy who
loves conservative pedals that are predictable & easy to control!

NOTE: Have you ever wondered why '60's pedals are always so big.
Well many people at the time had bulky tube radios and TV's so they would eye small electronic anything as not being of any value.Hence you can see how much room is really needed to house the Powerboost by the smaller Colordriver.

A nice breakdown on how to create 'the' sound

IF YOU LOVE THE SOUND BUT...
By the time the COLORSOUND Jumbo Tonebender arrived the tech was better and it was easy to work with and get a great sound. It is as easy to use as a modern OD. 
Watch the Post ...BIG SOUND KNOB Color Jumbo
...they do a great clone of it for $130.00 USD 
As a pro I need no fuss gigging pedals ...yes they MUST sound excellent ...but be easy to use on dark stages etc. ...This pedal checks all the boxes!!!
