The PastFx 18V Power Booster is a pedalboard-friendly recreation and expansion of the Buffalo FX Power Booster. Based on the legendary Colorsound Power Booster, one of the first overdrive effects pedals made available to the masses, the effect was popularised in the 1970s and unmistakably imprinted on the recordings of various classic rock guitar legends during the era. 
With the inclusion of a dedicated master volume, external gain control, and adjustable internal gain switch, the PastFx 18V Power Booster is a versatile little dirt box capable of light tonal grit, hair-raising overdrive, light to medium fuzz, and/or clean to gloriously filthy boost, with bass and treble controls for further tone shaping. The pedal tastefully colours the player’s tone without ever truly overtaking it, dialed to taste and adding new dimensions to a variety of rhythm or lead guitar applications. Runs on 9 to18v DC, with 18 volts allowing slightly more gain.

18V Power Booster

The PastFx Preamp Crunch Plus is an expansion of the PastFx Preamp Crunch Classic, which is the isolated preamp from our Chorus Ensemble in its own enclosure. Like the Classic, the pedal features a high/low signal switch, as well an on/off switch to activate or deactivate a buffer in the circuit. The standard Level Control, which determines the amount of crunch in the preamp signal, shapes the overall tone, gain level, and volume output of the effect. The Plus (+) version features an additional Master Control, allowing players to adjust the overall volume to compensate for higher gain settings on the Level Control, or to achieve unity gain at any point in the Level sweep. With the Master Control set fully clockwise, the Preamp Crunch Plus operates with the same stock circuit as the Preamp Crunch Classic, characterised by its warm, chimey crunch, saturation, and natural compression as the Level Control is engaged. However, turning the Master Control counter-clockwise will steadily lower the pedal’s volume floor, offering the ability to crank the Level up without fear of waking the neighbours!

Preamp Crunch Plus

The PastFx New Division Is a faithful recreation of the 1970’s / 80’s MN3007 EHX Clone Theory. We have also incorporated some of the features of the 1st 1970’s Reticon Sad1024 version, while adding new options that address some of the flaws of the original circuit.

Peter Hook (New Order /Joy Division) is probably the most well-known artist associated with these early models. The 1970’s Sad1024 version incorporates an “Edge” (Bright switch), however when the Bucket Brigade chip was replaced with the MN3007, the bright switch was removed and a VIB/Flange switch was added.
The Heart of the New Division is its Chorus effect.

New Division - Chorus/Flange/Vibrato

The PastFx Chorus Ensemble Mini (CEM) is based upon the Holy Grail of Chorus pedals, The BOSS® CE-1. First released in 1976 it became famous for lush Chorus and Leslie effect Vibrato.

The CEM is currently the smallest recreation of the The BOSS® CE-1 available. It is approximately 1/4 of the size and weight of an original. At 40yrs of age, original units can develop reliability issues and require capacitor replacement and extensive servicing. Unmodified working originals are becoming harder to find and are expensive. The CEM requires no fuses and is not powered by mains voltage. With today’s advancements in technology, the CEM operates off the same bipolar voltages as The BOSS® CE-1, however it only requires standard 9vdc pedal power supply.

Chorus Ensemble Mini

 Due to the scarcity of NOS Reticon bucket brigade devices, there will be a limited number of Flangers available.
Unless more NOS Reticon chips become available, we envisage only one production run occuring at this time.
