BOOSTER- BLAMMO Voltage Driver... Mr. Tonebender made 2, no correction 3

BLAMMO ELECTRONICS

VOLTAGE DRIVER 

$170.00 USD

Mr. Tonebender himself, Gary Hurst made 3 variations of the same Colorsound Booster. The Voltage Booster, and the same thing for 

America called the Overdriver. 

 NOTE: The term Overdrive was not in use yet. 

           Any pedal with a lower or higher gain 

          was simply called a Distortion pedal at the time. 

The fist model was 18v that caused a problem at the time as 99% of the available adapters were 9V. So, Version 2 was 9v. The 9 had more dirt and the 18 was less compressed and had more headroom. In either case Gary had invented the first medium gain OD, not a Boost. "Damn'' he said.

NOTE: a problem ????  

Different players wanted either the 9v or 18 v. He then came up with the Voltage Driver which is the same circuit with mods to be a cleaner boost with headroom. This solved all the confusion and anxiety by having 2 separate pedals. 

               NOTE: BLAMMO makes everyone happy.

The layout is Volume, Treble, Bass, and Gain. The toggle with the 9v/18v 

choice solves the headroom or more dirt problem. 

 NOTE: The unit has a charge pump in it so your  

           standard 9v adapter is all you need to run the unit.

     CONCLUSION __ 

I am with Gary. He wanted to make a Booster and in the 

end he did a total killer job. So good it became an always 

on with many who bought one. 

I have watch many demos where the just touch on pulling 

back on the first units which turned the pedal when dimed 

into a second rate Fuzz. I only just found out about the 

'Fix It' Voltage driver variation!!!

BLAMMO makes both camps happy. 

NOTE: no more notes
