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!

    just buy it!

    Bought one. Jaw dropped. Couldn’t believe that these got by me got so long. Pure overdrive. Awesome clean eq. Killer ‘No Fun ‘fuzz. Turned right around and ordered a second with the purple sparkle for my other board within a week! Sounds just as incredible as the first! Looks even better! Thanks!!

    Best overdrive pedal I've ever bought

    Can't believe this has stayed under my radar for so long. The colordriver is an incredible tone machine, from boost to fuzz and everything in between. Very low noise even at high gain settings, very solidly built and just a blast to play with. Came in a beautiful wooden case too, couldn't recommend enough!

    Love My Colordriver!

    Got this for Gilmour tones and it nails it! Great for boost, light OD all the way up to kickass fuzz!! Sounds awesome! Solid as a rock and very little noise. Running mine through a Hi-Tone DG50 and it sounds divine.

    buy this now - you won’t regret it

    As soon as I saw Tyler Bryant bust out this bad boy, i knew i had to get it. Built like a tank, absolutely noiseless and just super cool in general. My go to gain pedal 100% now and it plays so well with the rest of my board. Just ordered a second as a gift for a friend.

    Spot on vintage tones!

    My new favorite overdrive/fuzz pedal. This thing goes from a wall of articulate fuzz to cruchy overdriven tones with the turn of your guitar’s volume knob. Now I know how David Gilmour and Jeff Beck felt back in ‘73! Simply incredible.

    Absolutely Amazing

    If you are looking for something different from your typical TS and K style pedals, this is it. I find it has worked best at the front of the chain for me!
    Joey Cote

    Classic vibes

    Fantastic pedal! Really captures those clean David Gilmour tones when used as a boost
    Mikko Horttana

    Awesome

    Awesome pedal. Powerful and yet it cleans up really nice. It actually provides you fuzz, overdrive and treble boost all 8n one pedal. Built like a tank. Yay

    my new Colordriver 9V

    My brandnew Colordriver (9V) has just safely made it's way all the way from the Tru-Fi HQ in Maine to my home in Frankfurt/Germany. Ordering directly from the Tru-Fi homepage and Transportation all went fine. First impression: it's a real beauty of a pedal in it's vintage looking housing. Rocksolid and exceptionally well crafted. Same for all switches and knobs. It just feals great right out of the box. And plugging it in for the first time it has just blown me away. Sound is just stellar imo, no matter which setting you use This already makes it very exceptional in usability. Also it has exceptionally low noise level esp considering that there is quite a bit of gain in this box if you dial it in and additionally the volume knob on the side works just perfect so that this pedal works exceptionally well at all volumes. Drive sound is fantastic but it works perfect also as boost when you turn down the drive knob. What a great pedal - this thing really rocks!! For me a clear 5/5 - Couldn't be more happy with it !!! :)
    buddy

    Just like I remember the original

    A new improved stomp box that has nailed the original sound with a lot more versatility on your tone. Very seldom does a reissue fulfill it's promises---This Does!!!!
