Vintage Series Sustain Pedal

The Vintage Series Sustain Pedal by Orange is a UK-built compression pedal designed based on a 1970s classic. It features a vintage-style two-knob optical compressor with controls for Level (volume) and Depth (compression). The Depth knob controls the amount of compression. The pedal is powered by a 9V power supply only (DC 2.1mm center negative adaptor) and features buffered- bypass switching. The dimensions of the pedal are 9.2 x 10.2 x 8.4cm (3.62 x 4.02 x 3.31 inches).

The pedal has been updated with modern playing needs in mind, including standard 9VDC power supply and bypass LEDs. The internal circuit architecture has been tweaked for better bypass tone and reduced noise. The Sustain pedal utilizes a differential side-chain design that gives a smoother bloom to the compression decay and buffered bypass. The blue LED flashes red when gain reduction is occurring, providing visual feedback on the compression effect without breaking the vintage vibe.

In use, the Sustain pedal delivers a smooth, regulated, and even guitar sound, making the soft parts louder and the peaks under control. It provides a deliciously addictive squish and sustain with impressively low background noise. The pedal is suitable for a range of instruments and can be used as an 'always on' tool to enhance the sound of guitars and amps.

Overall, the Vintage Series Sustain Pedal by Orange offers a vintage aesthetic with modern tweaks, delivering a classic compression effect with enhanced functionality for contemporary musicians.
