David Gilmour’s Overdrive Tones w/ PastFx Powerbooster (Best Overdrive?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- I've always been a fan of Gilmour's 1975-1977 harsh overdrive tones. That glassy, nasty overdrive sound. David Gilmour used Colorsound Powerboost for those tones. He started using it around 1972 and he used it till 1978 and probably still uses it in his studio. PastFx made an awesome clone of the pedal and you're going to see how you can get those harsh Gilmour fuzzy overdrive tones with this pedal!

take a shot everytime Mustafa says glassy and you might end up in the ER!!!! :)
Little Wing was written by Jimi Hendrix btw
bro, I have no words for this video. I can't thank you enough. that time tone, that childhood's end tone, that shine on tone... I can't believe you can do these in your bedroom. I don't even know most of these songs but you're playing is extraordinary!
yeah that time tone was a surprise for me too, but childhood's end was something I was looking for years. actually, the pre-wall overdrive tones.
Hey man, I just wanted to say, thanks for putting out such great content! I’ve recently gotten back into guitar after years of not playing because of Pink Floyd and your tutorials have been super useful. Your approach to teaching is absolutely perfect for people who have experience but still want to learn new songs and sometimes new techniques. Thank you for putting out these amazing videos!
you got it!
I hate you for making me buy another pedal, but dude, 23:03 made me dance a bit. what a great sound
that would negate the point of this channel :) my goal is to show every possible angle that "I" would want to see as a curious dude, about pedals, tone guides, tutorials...
thank you for your kind words!
13:16 holy lord thought i was genuinley listening to the studio recording then woww!!
Honestly one of the best pedals and demos I've ever seen. Wow!
Thank you Mark, long time no see?!
@@mustyguitar oh I'm watching every video but just started a new job and moving house so very busy! Keep up the great work!
Ok, so this went from "Not sure, this just sound like a nasty treble booster, why would anyone want that tone" to "Damn, it just NAILS it" pretty fast
I built a pb kit years ago and love it. Considering it was one of the easiest pedals it’s fantastic. However it’s important to note that without the master volume control the power boost circuit very difficult to use for the average user especially on a pedal board where unity levels are important. So if you can’t afford one of these and have to search out a diy kit (like I did) be sure it’s got the master volume. I also used bc109 transistors for more gain ( the original has bc108). Also if the kit is a 9v version then use higher voltage capacitors and then you can run it at 18v. The reason I’m saying all this is that everyone should try and get one of these pedals but some people can’t afford it so may have to go down the diy route. Such a fantastic pedal and amazing review thank you. It’s great that there’s people like you sharing this information and making it accessible. I wish I’d have had an information source like this years ago when building my Gilmour rig. Well done!!
I just bought a used one after watching your fine presentation !
This sounds very good! Even without a blasting Hi-watt and an expensive Binson echo you really nailed the "Gilmoursound"
Being a long time Pink Floyd fan & David Gilmours work myself and being 4 decades old guitarist I don’t know if you are into the time when it was Syd before David joined but I wanted to capture his sound as like David’s I found a pedal I bought way back and is called the Scarlet Tunic and works well to capture both sounds and still use it so maybe that would be something you would want to check out just like I think I I’ll check this pedal out.. thanks for showing and demoing it. Keep rocking the video’s as I have just now found you and awesome to meet another person that loves and tries to capture his sound and style. Keep rocking🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻 going to hit up your Pateron now! Thanks again
Thank you!
I’ve been looking for this exact tone for months, thanks to you i’ll be getting this pedal, thx man
All I need is more encouragement to buy another PastFx pedal! Lol! I would love to see you do a similar video with your recommendations for Gilmour's Fuzz Face tones.
Fuzz Face, big muff, tube driver and clean tones, I got my notes prepared for them.
the sounds you got on the solos for 1972 tones and dark side of the moon sounded awesome!
Beautiful tones, superb playing, definitely made my Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the upload, pedal is aces.
Excellent demo and love the various PF tones to showcase it. Had to order one based on your video!
I just got the pedal today, and I think the real secret is to make sure your amp has a bit of gain too (when playing shine on and have a cigar)
the pedal is very fuzzy, but a british style tube amp (I have a marshall sv20, it's not a hiwatt but close enough for what I want) is a lot smoother with that mid heavy tube drive sound
also the old coloursound powerboost didn't have a level control, just a volume control which acted as both gain and volume, as you turn the "volume" control, the pedal's distortion would increase AND the output would increase, driving the amp
now of course the hiwatt has high headroom and you need to get it very loud to distort, but david gilmour and the people who were there while he was recording the solos said themselves that he'd have the amp REALLY loud, and everyone would have to leave the room (apart from gilmour) while he was recording
therefore, the real trick to every single gilmour tone is just balancing the distortion from his pedals and the distortion from your own amp
the exceptions being his live tones where I think he had them set clean, which is why in wembley he would boost the fuzz face with the powerbooster to make up for that. it also kinda explains why his live tones sound quite a bit different besides the mastering and stuff they do in post
even with the wall, I think it's big muff into slightly driven amp, the amp drive fattens it up and starts to smooth it and it's just about adding just enough gain to start to alter he fuzz tone
I'm on a similar journey as I just got the 'Comfortably Plum" pedal which is a dual pedal with a Rams head muff on one side and modded power booster on the other. I've been mostly just using the power booster side as blown away with the early Floyd sounds I can get. EQ's the Muff tone nicely when both sides used, working in a similar manner to the stackng with the fuzz face you demo in the video for the Time solo.
Yeah this is pretty legit. Great pedal
Very impressive.
ok i have to go into some detail here because holy cow these are some great tones. this pedal feels like the power boost as a whole 100% meaning that its spot on. that sheep tone was spot on. for using a 1 watt amp, using that pedal made it feel as if it were actually gilmour playing. that pedal covered great fuzz tones (even though its an over drive). that shine on tone was really close but it had the feel of the glassy weak but soul grabbing in first neck part and a powerful bridge pickup tone on the juicy part! on Wednesday last week i bought the td-y so i could do some gilmour stuff at my school. now im kinda starting to regret it but oh well! a pedal on my list for once i finally find a job to pay for it. finally i have to ask the question of, did you try it in the studio yet? past fx is on a role of making pedals that you can play in a bedroom set up all the way to a live concert with just the pedals itself!
don't regret it, because td-y is the best tube driver clone in the market in my opinion. I use it for DSoT, PULSE, studio albums, gilmour's solo albums and gdansk. for pompeii 2016, I can't get the overdrive tones that well. I'll get more into this on my live at pompeii 2016 definitive tone guide video.
what I mean is you can get %75 of the tones I got here. I haven't had time to go to studio and try it with a 20w amp, but I'll go this week because I'm really curious how this pedal reacts to more power.
but what I expect is about the same with bit more clean headroom.
edit: also, td-y has a huge gain. even on gain 9 o'clock, it gives a huuge sustain and clarity.
@@mustyguitar your right! i just got the pedal today and its great! its a major set up from my marshals internal od. its glassier, its got way more headroom and has great break up tone. i tried shine on first and it was beautiful. tried have a cigar, same results. btw great playing, and i hope you have a great week!
Holy sh&t the time solo sound aaaaaah spot on
Excellent!
😅 I wasn't expecting that tone as well.
@@mustyguitar i dont know if you already did but can you show us one day your complete set up from your guitar amp pedalboard computer all in details because the sound you getting its just exceptional my friend
Damn Bro! You nailed Gilmour's tone. Epic! I wonder how the powerbooster would work with my big fuzz pedal.
Top serie, this one.
PastFX does not fail.
Have you ever tried the Kernom RIDGE, by the way ?
I was really hoping you would do a review for this pedal😂
well here you go young Skywalker!
Honestly that live version of childhood's end has sold me, it sounds so spot on @@mustyguitar 😯
Great video and thanks for highlighting the bootlegs. What amp are you using here?
this channel only featured laney cub 12r
Grandissimo meraviglioso 🙏🙏🙏
How about doing a video with pedals we can actually buy today at a good price to get Gilmore's Pulse sounds/tones. Thanks
That's some awesome playing folks. I was already sold on the TD-Y and this. This just makes the gas worse.
try out the dunlop FFM1 for gilmour fuzz face tones, with boost it gets really close to wembly dark side tones (I'm using BD-2 for now), without boost it gets really close to pompeii, and with a delay in the front of it gets really close to time (studio version) cause placing a pedal in front kinda makes it have less gain, and little more glassy etc like time, slightly gated (also works with a univibe in front or phase 45 if you really want your delay at the end, which is what I do)
I just got a les paul (technically PRS SE 245), so I'm gonna see if it can get close to shine on part 6 slide solo (I think he used a fuzz face on a lap steel that used humbuckers)
time might be boosted in studio, I'm not sure, I havn't tried it yet with the powerbooster (I don't have one yet)
Great video! Thanks...Cost me $229 to watch. I was wondering what model the red strat was...strat plus?
I recently got a Tru-Fi Colordriver 18v and now a whole bunch of sounds are finally starting to make sense.
The way I've found it works best for me is that I'll crank the gain just up until the point where it starts caving in on itself, then back it off a little bit and use my guitar's volume knob to adjust the gain to taste. At about 7.5-8 is the Animals rhythm tone. Run that into a Ram's Head muff (not the other way around, Muff into PB is The Wall) with an Electric Mistress and that's David's lead tone for the In the Flesh tour.
Keep in mind, though, my black strat not only has an SSL-5 in the bridge, mine is also particularly spicy at 14.83kOhms DC Resistance, so your mileage *will* vary.
Do you have discount code or something like that on this for your subscribers or patreons?
Nope, it's just a gift to me, I'm not affiliated with the brand in any way. Just love the company and the work. Honestly, it's not that expensive pedal in my opinion and deserves the full price.
Beautiful guitar!! What are the specs?
it's a 50s reissue, 7.25 radius, texas specials.
Hello, thank you for another great video! I love this type of circuit, especially after a Big Muff. This pedal looks/ sounds like it has many more tonal ootions than others plus works with smaller amps.
More ootions of this tyoe of circuit... both larger and smaller amps:
Tru Fi (USA), Colordriver, both 9v and 18vdc....may need bigger amp.
George's Studio Equipment Overdriver and Colirdriver (Greece), 9v and 18vdc....may need bigger amp.
Vick Audio (USA) Overdriver, 9vdc. Lots of great Gilmour pedals in his line.
EHX (USA) Crayon, Full range overdrive. Will work as an affordable option and work better in bedroom setups, smaller amps.
Question/Followup: Were you ever able to work out the customs issues with obtaining the Pulse Driver from Luca Columbo of Italy?
Note: Lucas's " Bricks" pedal is a Big Muff + Overdriver combined... works with smaller amps...not sure about 1 watt though.
first, no, customs are always issue... but I'll go to italy at the end of march, I'll try to sort one out.
EHX Crayon is not much of an alternative to my ears, I love the pedal, but I think it's more of a mix between tube screamer and tube driver. I've done some tests on eq board, it definitely boosts mid range quite a bit.
I've contacted vick audio and tru fi, asking about dealers or amazon or thomann link or something, they didn't answer me. I'd love to try both of them but George's Studio Equipment is the first I'm hearing it. I should see that
Could also be worth looking into Blammo pedals. He has two Power Boost/Overdriver style pedals
The only version of this pedal I could find is missing the "mild" knob and the mild/hot switch.
Ask PastFx, send an email, he will get back to you, I think it’s the website that needs updating but this is the new version
And only one question: this pedal or right side of Hi Power?
I think Hi-Power is exactly same as the Colorsound, since it has that last %5 monster gain stuff on it that I enjoy.
@@mustyguitar thanks a lot!
Teste Albino Rhino by: Krozz Devices from Brazil! Awsone pedal
Hi, im looking for a pedal like colorsound to emulate that DELICIOUS oakland 77 tone, but this pedal isnt available on my country, is there any other options for it?:(
I don’t have the best experience about this circuit, I was using boss blues driver for it before this one, but I heard tru do is great
can u test ADD+ Ratortion ? .. its a turkish made Proco RAT pedal
Sounds great to me. I wondered how the EMGs would respond to the powerboost circuit since it’s a fuzz circuit essentially
It's close but it doesn't sound like a power boost to me
dude's playing with a 1w amp. I think that is something big to consider. Still, I'd like to hear this with a huge amp as well
@@HackTheSystem-kw1nbme too, I play a power boost (master volume version) into the same amp at 1 watt, and it's different tone to this, much more toppy.
toppy as an high end?
