Colorsound

Colorsound is a historic brand in the realm of guitar effects pedals, particularly known for its contributions to the fuzz pedal genre. Founded in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, Colorsound gained prominence during the psychedelic rock era and continued to be influential throughout the 1970s and beyond.

One of Colorsound’s most iconic pedals is the Tone Bender, a fuzz pedal that played a significant role in shaping the sound of classic rock and psychedelia. The Tone Bender MkII, in particular, became highly sought after for its distinctive fuzz tones and has been used by legendary guitarists such as Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.

In addition to the Tone Bender, Colorsound produced a variety of other effects pedals, including overdrive, distortion, and wah pedals, among others. These pedals were known for their rugged construction, straightforward controls, and bold, expressive tones.

While the original Colorsound company ceased production in the 1980s, its legacy lives on through modern boutique pedal manufacturers who continue to offer faithful recreations and inspired variations of their classic designs. Colorsound pedals remain highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts for their historical significance and timeless sound.
