SKU: PD-SUSTAIN
Question: what happens when a message-board finds a photograph of a long-discontinued piece of gear and goes crazy for it, and then a hand-drawn schematic diagram for the same unit, complete with teacup ring marks and yellowing edges, scribbled-out Biro and wobbly writing, is unearthed after an online call-out for help about what's inside? Answer: the Orange Sustain pedal is what happens, brought back from the dead to breathe everlasting life into guitar tones once again!
The Perfect "Always On" Pedal!
Acting like an overdrive for your clean tone, the Orange Sustain pedal smooths, regulates and evens out your guitar sound — making the soft parts louder and the loud parts softer to create a more consistent volume. It can boost volume without scuffing purity, offer a more chiming tone that takes the edge off each note's attack, and create long-lasting warm tones that allow expressive hammer-on fingerings and the kind of sine wave-like inter-note smoothness that will make people wonder what instrument you're playing.
Sticking as close as possible, sonically, to the exhumed original, the updated unit offers a smoother bloom thanks to its differential side-chain, as well as an LED that switches from blue to purple when the gain reduction is kicking in. Thanks to an internet treasure hunt, this is a classic piece retooled for modern times!
Key Features
- Low Power Consumption — The Orange Sustain draws very little current (less than 10mA), making it easy to slot into your pedalboard's power supply.
- Buffered Bypass — A high-quality buffer in the signal chain retains tonal integrity. The Orange Sustain's buffered bypass takes care of this with its low-impedance buffered bypass switching, retaining your guitar's full tone.
- Double LED Indicator — Carrying two LEDs inside the chassis allows the colour of the light to change from blue to purple when gain reduction is really kicking in, giving you instant visual feedback on your tone.
