Powersound Overdrive (Colorsound Overdriver)

[MichaelW]

How far off is the Powersound Overdrive to the Vick's Audio Overdriver? Sounds like basically the same pedal? Or does Vick do something different with theirs? I "need" to build a Rams Head now........

They are all pretty much the same. I don't think any of the small differences between circuits make any difference sonically.

But on the other hand, you have mojo…

No sonic differences, but how they FEEL when you play through them...









I'm gonna start my own overdrive...

...with blackjack ...

and hookers...

In fact forget the blackjack, and the hookers...

Ahhh forget the whole thing, it's all the same circuit anyway.

The Crayon is 100% a BB Preamp clone. I had one I was using for a while before it got traded off. I was hoping it wouldn't have that midrange honk from the tube screamer circuit, but it was still in there, just with the added Baxandall tone stack afterwards.

I like both the Colorsound Overdrive and the Boost. Oddly enough I think I like the Overdrive better as a clean boost. They have a great midrange which makes for a killer boost for a dirty amp or overdrive.
