High quality components, neutrik jacks, vishay /wima caps in signal path, screened cabling for low noise operation. Selected NOS BC184 & BC169 transistors as found in the 70's original. And excellent for putting after just about any fuzz or muff to tame it and add EQ control. Great dynamics, good guitar volume roll off. The Buffalo FX 18V Power Booster is an awesome pedal that I've been using for years - I still have the old tall box model.
#BUFFALO FX POWER BOOSTER FULL#
Can go from clean boost to full on fuzz with natural drive tones between. This is unique to all other clones as it is fitted with a voltage doubler to give you the extra headroom of the earliest and original 18v Powerboost but still runs from a standard 9v supplyĮven if your not chasing tones from days gone, with plenty of volume on tap it's a great pedal for pushing a tube amp. Used by Gilmour, T-Rex and found all over many 70's recordings. Bottom line is the TD-Y v2 is a very versatile pedal.Sonic replica of the original 18v Colorsound Powerboost. Also, it was nice to be able to remove the 1970's school lunchbox sized BK TD from my board and replace it with a normal sized pedal.and no more dedicated power cord. I just got the pedal, so I can't say which switch position, v1 or v2, I like better. The TD-Y's controls work quite differently, and the "MIDS" knob is genius. Initially, I assumed the TD-Y was ultimately a "clone" of the Butler pedal, so I adjusted the knobs as I would on a BK TD. But it goes well beyond the scope of those pedals, and does so in an extremely nice, organic sounding way, both clean or driven. I was expecting the TD-Y to kinda just stay in the range of the Boss BD-2 and the BK TD, and it does both of those nicely, and without the fizz/sizzle. Hi, Verlie, I got the TD-Y v2 today! I love this pedal! It really can sound like a BK TD, but holy crap it's WAY more versatile.

There is plenty of headroom on tap to allow players to generate great tones from the pedal alone or by using it to push their amplifiers over the top.
It is a highly tweakable and useful tone sculpting tool that can be set to act as a potent equaliser, a clean or dirty boost, or as a satisfyingly rich and complex overdrive. The TD-Y has been produced in a smaller, pedalboard-friendly enclosure, and made with the same careful attention to detail and high-quality components as the pedal upon which it is based. The PastFx TD-Y is a faithful reproduction of the now discontinued Buffalo FX TD-X Equaliser and Gain Booster pedal, which itself was inspired by a popular valve-powered overdrive favoured by several notable rock artists during the 1980s and ‘90s.
