As seen on “That Pedal Show” from the UK – Thanks Mick and Dan for turning me on to this one.

Tru-Fi Colordriver Fuzz/Overdrive pedal sounds awesome!

From Tru-Fi website:
A hand-made recreation of the famous Colorsound Power Booster and Overdriver used by the likes of Jeff Beck and David gilmour among the few. We chose to create these as the 9V version as we now live in the power supply world and make life easy for most. We also chose to make these in the later “orange” color as they just look cooler, the brown tone was a tad boring. But you can pick other colors if you so choose!

These are just killer reproductions, in a enclosure that is half the size 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 Fuzz is true bypass, sports LED, and manual!

Made in the USA!

Specs :

  • 100% Handmade
  • True Bypass
  • Comes in Orange, like original or options
  • 4 vintage BC109 transistors
  • Gain, Treble and Bass controls
  • Side Volume Control just like the original
  • Internal 9V battery clip
  • Takes a Negative Tip 9V DC power Supply

Usage :
Top Knobs are tonal, Treble, Bass and Drive. The Drive is the Gain which can dial in the amount of Distortion or Fuzz. The side mounted Volume knob can add a mild boost or when increasing will calm the front of you amp for high sustain and ringing fuzz tones. Plenty of clarity for chords or single note solos. This pedal like most Fuzz pedals sound best when used with a Tube amp with some mild grit dialing in.

Pedal is extremely well made and sturdy. Some players may be put off by the case and how it will mount to pedal board. In my case I love the looks and case as much as the sound.

These pedals are hand-made by Ted Rasch of Tru-Fi who also runs Music Toyz in Maine, USA.
