Castledine Colorsound 18v Power Boost (TM)

I have the 9v Colorsound Overdriver from 2010/11. It is really amazing, but I am intrigued by the reissued Power Boost. Are the changes worth it?

the reissued colorsound 9v powerboost is tops. it does have a 9v tap and indicator light. it gets LOUD and dirty. good stuff here.
the even NEWER first-ever reissue colorsound/castledine 18v powerboost is

louder than loud.

side by side they're damn near the same thing but the 18v has more headroom and MAYBE a bit more mojo/dynamics... but just a hair.
get em both

Cool. I should mention that I keep my master volume on full always. But I take it that the new 18v PB reissue is even louder?

yes. louder & stays cleaner longer. doesnt break up as soon as the 9v.

Just a heads up - I have the last few Power Boosts here at Macaris ( the last of the first 50 that is )

I can't believe this pedal has no waiting list

+1

i for one LOVE my standard macari's powerboost and if given the opportunity (and cash) would pick up an 18v in a heartbeat!!!
just like owning a DR504 and a DR103 - both sound uniquely amazing

I don't think I mentioned it on this forum, but Bieke wrote a review of my 18v Power Boost:
