The Vick Audio Overdriver was designed to create David Gilmour tones, in the vein of the Colorsound Power Boost (although it's not a clone of the CPB).
Very important for my interest is that Gilmourish describes the Vick Audio Overdriver as capable of generating Gilmour tones in a bedroom setting, which the Colorsound Power Boost cannot. Basically, with the CPB, you end up taking the paint off the walls... I generally do play at home, and (at my age) want to retain what remains of my hearing!
Here's the Gilmourish summary comments on it (from https://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=262 )
Here's the video of Gilmourish's full review of the Vick Audio Overdriver - it sure sounds fricking great to my ears!
I welcome your vote for this puppy - thanks!

Vick Audio Overdriver
The Overdriver is based on the 18V Power Boost/Overdriver, with the addition of a master volume control for more headroom. This one sounds vintage and it has one of the creamiest fuzz tones of all the Power Boost versions I’ve played. It’s also a tad darker than most clones, making it fit a wider range of amps and bedroom setups.
Bedroom setups: Yes
Gilmour tones: Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut, David Gilmour (78)
Since Vick Audio sadly shut down in 2023, this unit is no longer made. I view this as a major "hint, hint" for @Robert as well as us builders.Here's the video of Gilmourish's full review of the Vick Audio Overdriver - it sure sounds fricking great to my ears!
