The Orange Distortion Pedal revives the spirit of classic 1970s Orange distortion with a completely redesigned analogue circuit built for modern players.
While visually inspired by the original vintage Orange distortion units, the updated design replaces the old diode-clipping layout with a true amp-style circuit and an integrated tone stack for richer, warmer, and more dynamic distortion tones. From low-gain vintage crunch to saturated classic rock aggression, the Orange Distortion captures the growl, bite, and warmth that defined an era.
With simple Level and Depth controls, plus an internally adjustable treble trimmer, the pedal delivers impressive tonal flexibility while retaining a straightforward vintage-style workflow.
