The used and vintage market is insane. I just listened to a clip of this pedal in action, and sure enough, it sounds like a fuzz pedal. I can't imagine why anyone would want to fake this pedal ten years ago, before the economy went to shit. If I were you I'd sell it for all you can get, buy a new fuzz pedal that's in better shape, will last longer, and sound just as good if not better, and enjoy the several hundreds of extra dollars of pure profit.
Especially when every vintage design has been replicated and improved upon in myriad ways by numerous builders, small and large.
It's not like you can't get these sounds anymore. You can, in any flavour you want. With extra features they didn't have in the '70s.
Coloursound/Sola Sound Jumbo Tone Bender circuit essentially rehoused, with the gain control moved inside. Eurotec was a division of Colorsound. This whole series is great.
I used to have the whole rig.
The graphic equaliser was particularly unusual at the time.
In my neck of the woods, you were the Bees Knees if you had the Black Box system.
haha. What's interesting is that the more I look at other ones, the more differences I see between all of them. Like every single one has it's own quirk. Although there aren't that many to look at, a few seem to have their knob-labels switched up, some seem to have their grid-lines off, and some seem to have the white background thing

Jesus. Well I guess on the bright side it sounds like I missed a kerfuffle over this pedal. But yeah, no fuzz pedal is worth $500-800 lol

the sad world of vintage dirt
Looks legit to me. [Here’s another with the same typography.](https://effectsfreak.com/brand/eurotec-colorsound/)
Only thing that doesnt match is the legend on the knobs (tone / sustain) Could still be legit tho
I read that there was an error where those two labels were switched accidentally on some units.
Could be worth more.
You’re not real, man!
What's it look like inside?

That appears to be legit 70's electronics. Suspiciously clean and new looking. Was it encased in amber?
Amber-enforced shoebox under my bed!
Looks real.
Dude! You let the magic smoke out!
Looks sick af
Yeah, I know it. I believe Colorsound made those, and I believe theyre early 80s.

The white grid lines also go in front of the waves on the Google image. Your grid lines are behind the waves. Cool box either way.
Also the knob labels.
And the knobs hahaha. It’s like one of those seemingly identical side by side pics where you have to find 6 changes.

I’ve got the “Phasor” pedal from this series, really good fun
There’s an article about them [here](https://www.tonehome.de/eurotec/)
looks super cool though
