The Vintage Pow – Colorsound Overdriver / Power Boost is a new version of the classic Colorsound Overdriver / Power Boost pedal, released in May 2023. This pedal aims to capture the vintage overdrive tone of the original while offering some modern features.The Power Boost was a crucial part of David Gilmour’s sound during the Dark Side of the Moon era, providing a lush and rich overdrive that pushed the boundaries of saturation without going overboard. This kit allows you to choose between building the Power Boost, which operates at 18V, or the Overdriver, which runs at 9V. Both versions sound great, but the Power Boost offers more headroom and less clipping, giving you a stronger and more powerful tone.You have the option to use BC169C, BC184L, or BC109 transistors for both versions, but it is generally recommended to use BC169 or BC184 for the Power Boost and BC109 for the Overdriver. The circuit board has been designed to accommodate either transistor type without any complicated wiring changes.Additionally, the kit includes an optional on-board charge pump, allowing you to generate 18V power from a standard 9V power supply. This feature provides convenience and flexibility for powering the pedal.Overall, the Vintage Pow – Colorsound Overdriver / Power Boost offers a hunka hunka burning vintage overdrive tone, reminiscent of the iconic sound of the Colorsound Overdriver / Power Boost pedal used by David Gilmour.
