COLORSOUND OVERDRIVER - modified to vintage Powerboost spec
Brand: Colorsound
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
A 90s Colorsound Overdriver for sale in excellent condition, fully serviced and modified to vintage Powerboost circuit spec.
Made by Solasound, it is theoretically the 70s Powerboost with a master volume added and rehoused in a grey hammerite case. Serious window shaking break up when you crank it. Jeff beck made 'Blow by Blow' with it, and see also Joe Bonnamassa’s version of ‘Funkier Than a Mosquito’s Tweeter’ on The Ballad of John Henry.
This one has been modified by Martin Cooper at Coopersonic to vintage circuit spec (remove 180k resistor; add bypass cap on Q2) and Martin said it's “now sounding much better. Why they decided to **** up the original circuit I don't know, although obviously the volume control is useful. It sounded lame before the mods. The only drawback is that most of the gain range is at the end of the pot.”
Pedal is excellent overall condition with only minor signs of wear, mostly on the base. Comes with the original box.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
