Orange Vintage Sustain

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 internote smoothness that will make people wonder what instrument you’re playing.

Sticking as close as possible, sonically, to the exhumed original, the 2022 update 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.
