As seen on "That Pedal Show" from the UK  THREE TIMES  !!!! - THANK YOU ! 

Order NOW !  GREAT VIDEO COMPARING 18v to 9V BELOW ! 

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 has now produced a hand-made recreation of the famous Colorsound 9 Volt Overdriver used by the likes of Jeff Beck and David Gilmour among the few. They run on a 9V battery or a negative tip power supply. We have produced the 9V Colordriver Overdriver to a true Power Boost replica down to the correct BC109 Transistors. 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.  

These are just killer reproductions, in a enclosure that is half the size (Ting bigger than a Boss Pedal) but while unique it still hints of the original. Inside the unit you will find correct "real" BC109 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 !

Made in the USA!

    Colordriver Booster-overdrive-fuzz

    This Powerbooster gives the input of your amp a real good jolt! From classic cranked old school bluesrock tones to outright fuzz and everything in between. Boost the input of an overdrive and you'll have a whole new pedal! Great Coloursound tones!

    Colordriver 9v

    OMG. BEST overdrive/fuzz pedal ever. I've been playing in pro bands since early 70s and searched for this pedal for a long while. I dont even like pedals very much. I don't want anything between my guitar and amp unless it enhances tone, not take take away. I tried other pedals of this type and they were j off mark. If you want Zepp, 70s Jeff Beck, Gilmore, Blackmore, Trower, Etc, this will do it. Incredibly well made with low noise floor. Using with my black panel Fender amps is perfect rock n roll. Ve4satile - From fuzzy to driving to bluesy. Notes pop out. Wonderful texture. Yeah....I could go on and on.

    GAME CHANGER Colordriver9V

    I've been "chasing the tone" for years, and recently have been very satisfied with where I WAS. It's actually crazy how AMAZING this pedal is. The moment I placed it on my signal chain and turned it on, it instantly made everything sound so much better... the crunchiness and fuzziness unlocked so much potential in my amp that I didn't know was there, it also plays great with my overdrives and boosts and fuzzes It really does everything you could ask for and does it AMAZING

    Tru-Fi Colordriver

    Absolutely great pedal that captures the original Colorsound pedal’s magic but with the added benefit of a master volume control and it’s so versatile in its ability to move between boost, overdrive and fuzz. Highly recommend, and Teddy is awesome too.

    Colordriver 9V

    Like many, I am a fan of gain stacking, but have always been looking for the pedal to stick at the end of my chain that can capture the tone/feeling of an old “nasty” sounding amp just into breakup. Well, my search is over after getting my Colordriver 9V. Yes, not the “normal” place for a pedal like this, but it does exactly what I need it to, where I need it to. And just for those wondering, it sounds great at ALL gain levels!!

    Colordriver

    This pedal is way beyond my expectations. It can be a booster, an overdrive, a fuzz pedal and everything in between. It will gild every sound perfectly. ...I can't remember life before owning a colordriver. Thanx!!!!!

    Tru-Fi Colordriver

    Absolutely love this pedal. The sensitivity and dynamics are incredible. Even with the gain up and guitar on 10 I can get cleans with super light picking. From clean, to OD, to a gated fuzz territory, this has quickly become my favorite dirt pedal.

    Colordriver

    The Colordriver sounds incredible and is super versatile. Big clean boost all the way up to fuzzed out goodness. It came in a nice wooden box with sticker and instructions. The pedal just looks cool too. I love it!
    Eric Raphael

    Outstanding Pedal

    Great pedal full a variety of great tones. From subtle overdrive to fuzz and everything in between. Really glad I bought this pedal
