The pedal itself needs little introduction - monstrous tone — shimmery glassy treble boost — huge bass boost then easing its way through crunchy overdrive into aggressive nastiness — how can anyone not LOVE that!? We have used to reconditioned original tool for the case no more pesky creases in the front , then we went through three different screening processes before settling on this one. I think the first one was a reverse board, second was the normal way up, but had the 33k in a different position and no terminal for the common battery connection. EW thinks this third version came about with the switch to PP3 batteries, which makes sense. Pots are sourced from Omeg, custom made. I've gone with a reverse log pot for the Volume.

Boost, overdrive or fuzz? Like the Vick Audio Overdriver, the Bananaboost is very close to the original Power Boost, sola sound power boost, with a nice and twangy clean boost, lots of headroom and possibly the smoothest fuzz between any of the clones.

The Colorsound Power Boost was one of the very first overdrive pedals to hit the market. It offered a wide range of tones and soon became a favourite among guitarists like Jeff Beck and David Gilmour. Both using it to create their signature sounds in the early 70s. Gary also designed the legendary Sola Sound Tone Bender. The early versions of the Power Boost was powered by 18V but later changed to 9V. There has been many reissues over the years, with different features including 9V or 18V powering, leds and master volume control. Boost, overdrive and fuzz was somewhat overlapping in the late 60s. The Power Boost was very much designed out of need. While guitarists demanded bigger and louder amps, there really seemed to be no limits, they also had a hard time taming these beasts.

Each of these has a tad more mid range and compression compared to the Power Boost but they can easily be set up for similar tones and may be a better choice for bedroom setups and mids scooped amps. Apparently, the guy thought it was a bit too much but keep in mind that this was a couple of years ahead of the explosion of boutique pedals and clones. Boost, overdrive and fuzz was somewhat overlapping in the late 60s. I went into the store and said that I wanted to buy the pedal. It offered a wide range of tones and soon became a favourite among guitarists like Jeff Beck and David Gilmour. It was once again used for the Animals recording sessions, notably for rhythm tracks on Pigs and Sheep. This one can be hard to tame on typical bedroom setups and mids scooped amps. The ST-2 was used for the recording of The Wall and the subsequent tour. David is also spotted using an Overdriver during various recording sessions in the early 90s, including the soundtrack for La Carrera Pan America and Division Bell. The Power Boost is placed after the Muff. Another favourite of mine is the Ontario, Canada June show.

The pedal was also used on the Obscured By Clouds recording sessions. Both albums stands as some of the most iconic recordings featuring the Power Boost. Still, some come very close. Everyone, including me and well known pedal makers, was searching for this mysterious holy grail. I think the first one was a reverse board, second was the normal way up, but had the 33k in a different position and no terminal for the common battery connection.

Boost, overdrive and fuzz was somewhat overlapping in the late 60s. It offered a wide range of tones and soon became a favourite among guitarists like Jeff Beck and David Gilmour. The early versions of the Power Boost was powered by 18V but later changed to 9V. There has been many reissues over the years, with different features including 9V or 18V powering, leds and master volume control. The effect is subtle but like how David Gilmour would use his, the Power Boost acts similar to an EQ, enhancing the tone.
