Orange FX Pedal UK Distortion

The new Orange Distortion Pedal is the same as the old Orange Distortion Pedal - at least that's how it looks from the outside. Because apart from the modern innovations such as an additional LED and a 9 V DC input, it looks like a reissue of the relic from the 1970s, right down to the simple lettering printed on the classic, chunky aluminum housing to imitate the original devices.

Under the hood, however, things look different: The circuitry of the new Orange Distortion has been rebuilt from the ground up. The back-to-back diode design of the original has been replaced by an amplifier circuit with a tone stack in which the bass and mids are preset, but the treble can be adjusted by the user via a small trimmer in the housing.

Add to this a hard-wired switch that is separate from the circuit board and therefore very easy to maintain, and you have a vintage pedal fit for modern times. It's this attention to detail, combined with a dedication to an era of crunchy power chords, that makes the pedal a perfect homage to one of rock's golden ages, ready to be heard again with fresh ears. It may be a new design, but with the Orange Distortion, the song remains the same.
