In the 70's, Colorsound continued to grow. The case styles changed, color was added, and marketing was emphasized. The Supa Tonebender was their flagship pedal.
In the 70's, the company CBS Arbiter released their enhanced fuzz called the Doubler. This device was conceived by the designer of the original Sola Sound Tone Bender.
Carlsbro is primarily an amplifier company, but around 1974 they entered the effect pedal market. Their Fuzz pedal was a true tonebender provided by Colorsound and decked out with the Carlsbro motif.
In the mid 70's, Colorsound was still producing tonebenders for other branded product lines. The English company Barnes & Mullins was one of their many customers.
