Orange Distortion

The Orange Distortion: Vintage Tone with Modern Refinement

Classic 1970s Sound Reimagined

The Orange Distortion pays homage to the iconic tone of the 1970s with a modern twist. While its exterior channels the simplicity of the original pedal, complete with a rugged aluminum shell and minimalist controls, the circuitry inside has been completely redesigned for the modern player. The result is a pedal that delivers vintage amp-like distortion with improved versatility and tonal control.

Amp-Like Circuit for Authentic Distortion

Departing from the original’s back-to-back diode design, the new Orange Distortion features an amp-style circuit with a built-in tone stack. This provides a dynamic range of distortion tones, from warm vintage crunch to full saturation. The preset bass and mids ensure a solid tonal foundation, while an internal trimmer lets you fine-tune the treble to your liking.

Simple Controls, Vast Versatility

With just two knobs—Level and Depth—the Orange Distortion offers effortless tone-shaping:

• Level: Adjusts the output volume, suitable for everything from clean boosts to overdriven leads.
• Depth: Controls the intensity of the distortion, ranging from subtle grit to roaring, saturated fuzz.

Despite its simplicity, the pedal delivers a broad palette of tones, perfect for garage rock, vintage crunch, and even hard rock heroics.

Modern Features for Reliable Performance

• Buffered Bypass: Retains your guitar’s full tonal integrity when the pedal is off, thanks to its high-quality, low-impedance switching.
• Low Power Consumption: Drawing just 3mA, the Orange Distortion is easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup without taxing your power supply.
• Durable Construction: Housed in a rugged aluminum casing, this pedal is built to handle the rigors of live performance and touring.

Adjustable Treble for Tailored Tone

The internal trimmer allows users to tweak the treble frequencies of the tone stack to suit their preferences. Factory-set to one-third of its range, this feature adds an extra layer of customization for players seeking the perfect high-end balance.
