Der Name Orange steht für einen eigenen britischen Ampsound und natürlich ein unverwechselbares Design, das aufgrund der auffälligen, fruchtigen Farbe einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert hat. Effektpedale sind sicherlich nicht die Hauptdisziplin, mit der man die Marke in Verbindung bringt, doch das soll sich wohl ändern, denn 2015 hat Orange zum ersten Mal seit den 60er Jahren einen Schritt in den Bodentretermarkt gewagt.

The Amp Detonator from Orange is the ultimate tool for guitarists who want to use a guitar with two different amplifiers and/or effect chains. Two outputs, each with its own buffer amp, allow the guitar signal to be forwarded alternately or simultaneously, without the need for long cable runs. In addition, a specially developed isolating transformer and a switch for phase reversal ensure noiseless operation without loss of sound.

 Inherently simple devices like fuzz circuits are extremely sensitive to the amount of voltage that they receive, thus any change in the voltage from your power supply will cause drastically different tones. Guitarists eventually caught on to this hack and began draining their batteries to try and find the sweet spot for their fuzz pedal. A good idea in theory, but who has time for that? Then, just a few years ago, a certain unnamed guitarist reached out to me for a practical solution for this technique– and the Volture was born.

With every AUTO Series pedal, your performance becomes an integral part of the sound effect!
Your touch, playing dynamics, and note choices shape the tones and textures, responding to your performance and evolving in real-time. Hence, the sound design is intricately woven into your musical expression, guiding you on a journey of continuous discovery and wonder.

Customize the adjustments with the DYNAMICS and PITCH knobs and dedicated mode switches. Adjust the DYNAMICS decay time, introduce glide to PITCH tracking, and tailor the response curves to match your playing style and the desired effect. Each of the primary effect knobs is paired with a corresponding smaller adjustment knob, also known as an attenuverter. This allows you to precisely dial in the variation amount and direction for each effect knob independently. Imagine the dynamic possibilities – a loud strum on a guitar can turn one knob clockwise significantly, while only slightly nudging another knob in the opposite direction. Explore the subtleties, from gentle parameter shifts to sweeping, full-parameter transformations.

To shape the AUTOMATION, you can precisely calibrate both DYNAMICS and PITCH tracking engines – indicated by the led light strips in the patchbay. Furthermore, you can customize the automation with the DYNAMICS and PITCH knobs, along with dedicated switches featuring three distinct modes for both sides of automation. Thereby you tailor the response curves to suit your playing style and the desired automation effect.

The result – an unlimited breadth of touch-responsive effects – orchestrated in real time by the nuances of your playing. 

From subtle, tasteful settings, all the way up to wild experimentation – the AUTO Series is an endless platform for discovery.

Willst du ein Spiegelbild deines Sounds, nur lauter? Hier bist du richtig. Der Katana Boost ist außerdem ein fetter, obertonreicher Boost. Zieh am (Push-Pull) Volume Knob und erweitere deine Vorstellungskraft an Overdriven Tone! 
Grad mal nicht laut genug? Kein Problem, der seitlich angebrachte Volume Regler kann einfach mit dem Fuß bedient werden. Du kannst ihn immer an lassen um deinen Amp etwas härter zu pushen, oder für den gelegentlichen Boost um dich im Mix nach vorn zu bringen.

Want a mirror image of your tone, only louder? This is it. The Katana Boost is also a fat, harmonically rich boost, just pull out on the volume knob and stretch your imagination with overdriven tone!

When designing the temperature controlled fuzz, we tried some unusual approaches. One false start utilized a voltage controlled error correction circuit to bias a single germanium transistor. It ultimately didn’t work for the fuzz, which is comically sensitive to transistor gain attributes. 

We did find a place for it though. 

It turns out it was PERFECT for achieving a germanium clean boost that, (like our fuzz) is impervious to component drift, leakage, and temperature....moreso in fact. We also fixed a couple other issues preventing the germanium transistor from being used as a convinc- ing linear boost...we increased the input headroom (even a normal guitar signal will drive a germanium transistor into unwanted input distortion without some tweaks) and increased the input impedance (a BJT transistor would normally thin out bass frequencies and interact negatively with whatever flows into it). 

The result is a germanium clean boost that can utilize a germanium transistor WITHOUT the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part of the deal...temperature sensitivity, drift, and suboptimal input impedance and headroom. 

After the boost is first powered up, it takes about ten seconds before the error correction circuit correctly biases the germanium transistor After this things get interesting....we can hear how having the boost engaged makes guitar signals sound more musical...even when set at the same volume as the bypassed tone. Notes are given a simultaneously smoother and more detailed character, like a compressor but different. Some people we’ve shown it to have noted that it appears to deemphasize the unwanted parts of a signal and enhance the good. It’s killer on bass. It helps acoustic guitar pickups sound more natural. And of course it’ll push your amp into a frenzy.

The MXR Sugar Drive Pedal provides a diverse range of clear and transparent overdrive tones, from sauced up boosting to blown-tube distortion. It's based on a rare overdrive pedal that has acquired a mythical reputation among fanatical tone-seekers thanks to its unique circuit design.

The key elements of that circuit design are the Drive control and something called a voltage doubler. First, the Drive control on this pedal doesn't just increase the intensity of the overdrive pedal. It starts with your clean signal and then blends it with the overdrive effect as you turn it up, replicating the smooth transition of an amplifier going from clean to dirty. The voltage doubler increases overall headroom, which opens everything up nicely.

Das UAFX Ruby ’63 ist das dritte Amp-Modeling-Pedal aus dem Hause Universal Audio und widmet sich der präzisen Nachbildung eines Vox AC30 aus der JMI-Ära der 1960er-Jahre. Drei Kanäle stehen zur Verfügung und natürlich auch eine Nachbildung des typischen Vibrato/Tremolo-Effekts. Dazu gibt es diverse Boost-Funktionen und auf der Lautsprecherseite stehen sechs verschiedene Cabs zur Auswahl.

I know that Universal Audio did a good job of capturing the spirit of an AC30 in the UAFX Ruby ’63 amp emulation, because excitement is the first thing I felt. The Ruby ’63 is lively, explosive, reactive, clear, and, yeah, even pretty chimey. And I was very impressed at how it imparted those qualities to decidedly non-Vox-y black-panel Fender amps, and vintage Fender cabinet emulations in UA’s OX Amp emulator. You know how a lot of pedals claiming to be an amp-in-a-box tend to be vaguely similar in terms of EQ and gain structure, but miss the details? The Ruby ’63 is not that. It’s an exhaustively executed emulation that takes you several miles further down the road to true amp-ness. And it sounds and feels awfully close to the real thing.
