Colorsound Power Boost-Style Pedals & A 1972 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103 – That Pedal Show HD

Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our merch store https://www.thatpedalshowstore.com Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Today’s show was one of those once-in-a-lifetime lightbulb moments. Especially for me (Mick here). Dan had long been telling me about ‘Power Boost’ pedals... but having never sat down and plugged one in properly, I was none the wiser. A total blank spot of guitar history. We would do a show. One day. It wasn’t until Dan did an eight-hour round-trip drive to pick up an original 1972 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103 and a bunch of Colorsound Power Boost-inspired pedals – including an original – that the penny was able to drop. And boy did it drop, for him as much as me. These are genuinely some of the most inspiring, most moving, most thoroughly rock’n’roll sounds we’ve ever mustered from these four walls. Massive thanks to Chris at www.custompedalboards.co.uk for the loan of the pedals and of course the unbelievable Hiwatt. The morning after filming, we hit Reverb.com and bought one. Life seems unthinkable without one at this point. Thanks also to our good friend Jacques Butler for the loan of the Royer 121.
