I don't know if that's still a thing.
Their wahs have a wider travel than Cry Babys - so they sound very distinctive.
Cool without doubt - in a 70s sort of way - but could equally be viewed as over-priced tat - depending on your viewpoint.
The tremolo disappointed me... wasn't keen.
The fuzz pedals are epic. @Juansolo built me a replica of the 1970s Tonebender, which also has a switch to change it to the (Colorsound built) B&M Fuzz (the fuzz used by Edwyn Collins on A Girl Like You). Its like a Big Muff without the PITA - flipping HUGE sounding.
Colorsound also made one of my fave phasers - the "Eurotec Phase Module" which is just gorgeous.
... and usually sound brilliant.
The British Electro-Harmonix, really.
Some of them are worth a lot now too.

Palash,
If I told you Charlie Chandler swears by the old Colorsound Wah, then you'd agree he's a decent judge!!
@icbm The last original non MV Powerboost I know that was sold went for £850 (and the buyer was Mr G, for the Wall show with Waters)

I love the pedals John has made for me, so much so I haven't bought another fuzz since.
the tonebender fuzzes and the fuzzes in the wahs are modified Big Muff.
nb. when looking at used listings that there are modern reissues since the 90s.
there are many current pedals that recreate the Colorsound fuzz and wah circuits. i prefer to go this route and i'd suggest the same - . unless you're a vintage collector.
