Orange Acoustic Preamp Pedal Overview
With their Acoustic Pedal, Orange have created a simple, affordable and highly effective solution for acoustic players that consistently demand great tone in a live & studio setting. By condensing the innovative tech behind their Crush Acoustic 30 & Acoustic Pre TC preamp into a compact stompbox form factor, Orange have crafted a portable & great-sounding preamp that’ll be an asset to your acoustic rig.
Stunning Transparency, High Headroom
A huge advantage of the Orange Acoustic Pedal is its tonal transparency, preserving the beautiful nuance and natural voice of your instrument. The Acoustic Pedal’s ultra-transparency is due to the premium Class-A preamp & JFET circuitry, which features a single-ended design. This results in a clean sound that delivers extremely low noise, even when the Treble knob is at its highest setting.
Plus, Orange’s Acoustic Pedal utilises an 18V operation, guaranteeing plenty of crystal-clear & clean headroom.
Potent EQ Controls
Whilst the Orange Acoustic Pedal boasts a very transparent tone, you’re also able to sculpt and adjust your sound if you want to. This is particularly handy if you’re playing in a venue that has difficult acoustics, when you need to make your mark within a busy mix, have to plug into poor a PA system or fight rampant feedback.
This achieved the Acoustic Pedal’s simple, flexible and powerful onboard EQ controls. The star of the show is the Middle control, which is used in tandem with the Q Factor and Notch knobs. With the Middle knob at your disposal, precisely eradicating troublesome feedback or making subtle adjustments to your sound couldn’t be easier. Next, we have the Bass & Treble knobs, which are perfect for when you want to cut or boost the lows & highs.
Studio-Grade Outputs
Thanks to the Orange Acoustic Pedal’s studio-quality balanced XLR output (which can be used alongside the 1/4" mono jack out), you can guarantee a top-notch tone when plugging directly into a P.A. - no D.I. box needed. Driving lengthy cables isn’t an issue with the Acoustic Pedal either, delivering high-fidelity & noiseless sound across long runs. Phase cancellation is a thing of the past too, just press the built-in Phase Reverse switch and you’re sorted.
Plays Well With Pedals
If you’re an acoustic player that harnesses the sonic capabilities of effects - the Orange Acoustic Pedal has you covered. Whether you favour sparkling reverbs, swirling delays or build entire arrangements from loopers, the Acoustic Pedal’s super-transparent & buffered FX loop allows you to craft the optimal signal chain.
If you turn up to your next gig equipped with the Orange Acoustic Pedal, you’ll be able to take full control of your instrument’s tone and combat feedback with ease! This incredible stompbox takes the hassle out of getting a great sound and lets you focus on performing at your best.
