Wow

Weird. There's 3 footswitches. Must be a master bypass and two switches for the two wah circuits?

2 wahs that can be run separately in series or in parallel. That’s gotta be fun!

Hi. I own a Supremo since 20 years. You can see its on my blog : http://www.bruynooghe.fr/post/2010/05/0 ... Colorsound

In 2007, I wrote to Colorsound for obtaining informations about this pedal and here is the response : "Date : 01/08/2007 05:48PM Objet : Re: colorsound supremo Hello Pierre ther isnt a great deal of info on the supremo. It wasnt made in large numbers so if you have one its quirte rare dont sell it! Itwas made in the same casing as the wah fuzz swell with side controls. I thas the jumbo caing but a smaller pedal top. Ther were some made with chrome finish top and cases. Alabel was used to cover predrilled holes for the wah fuzz swell. Circuit wise I think it had 2 seperate wha wah pcbs with two independent coils/inductors The way the switching worked i think you could have the standard cs wah effect or 2 wah in series with the possibility of the 2 circuits in parallel giving all sorts of wierd sounds! It also used a specially designed custom made double gang pot. Last batches were made in the late 70s I imagine total production no more than several hundred worldwide"
