Orange means real guitar amp history. It is now over 50 years since Cliff Cooper founded his company Orange with a borrowed £50. To this day he is the sole owner and he still controls much of the company's fortunes. From the very beginning, not only "rock-solid" British rock amps were manufactured, but also a focus on innovations. With the OMEC Digital, for example, Orange introduced a programmable guitar amplifier back in 1975 (!!!)! Many other innovations followed, including the founding of the so-called lunch box amp format with the introduction of Tiny Terror. All of this did not go unnoticed - in addition to countless industry awards, Orange received the "Queen's Award for Enterprise and International Trade" for the third time in 2012, probably the highest and most honorable award that a company can receive in England!
Bass Butler - A whole bi-amp bass rig in one pedal
In the good old days, a popular practice was to send a bass guitar signal to a bass amp and a guitar amp simultaneously - known as bi-amping. This allows the bassist to keep their bass frequencies low, clean and defined, while simultaneously boosting the mids and highs separately and adding distortion in this frequency spectrum, for example.
This type of setup can produce impressive tones, but usually requires a huge and complicated setup. Actually unthinkable without roadies.
Your bass rig is ready, sir
Forget Amp-In-A-Box pedals, the Bass Butler is a truckload of Soundttols in a box! The Bass Butler splits the signal at the input and features two completely separate, parallel, analog signal chains, just like a true bi-amp rig.
Bass channel
The continuously active bass channel features a simple but effective control layout for compression, bass, treble and volume. An optical Class-A compressor circuit, cut/boost tone control.
Guitar Channel
This classic high gain guitar channel will not disappoint. Five controls and four gain levels, activated with just a tap of the footswitch, covering everything from crisp vintage tones to brutal distortion.
Only the best quality
Because the Bass Butler is the ultimate fly rig, the perfect studio tool, and possibly the only pedal you'll ever need, it has to be built to last. A robust steel housing, an 18V DC power supply for enormous headroom and all-round road-worthy robustness ensure that the Bass Butler will be by your side for a lifetime.
