Orange Amplification Orange Sustain Pedal
Orange Amplification has announced the return of three effects pedals , including the Orange Sustain , along with the Orange Phaser and Orange Distortion — with the trio ’ s vintage characteristics reworked for the present day .
The modern story of these units starts in 2019 , when an Orange message board went viral for a photo of the long-discontinued Sustain pedal from the early 1970s , with its outsized form-factor and art nouveau typography . Not long after , the company found the original schematics and the project was started . The Orange Sustain , which smooths and regulates guitar sounds , acts like an overdrive for clean tones with added chime and warmth . Boosting volume without scuffing purity and making soft parts louder and loud parts softer , it offers an expressive , nuanced and three-dimensional take on the sustain / compressor effect , according to the company .
