Orange BAX-BANGEETAR Bax Bangeetar Guitar Preamp/EQ Pedal

Their first pedal since the 1960s, the Orange Custom Shop Bax Bangeetar Guitar Pre-EQ boasts a unique and hugely versatile gain structure with extensive EQ controls. Dial in an enormous range of overdriven and distorted tones, delivered with a feel and responsiveness rarely found in pedals. This preamp pedal is an invaluable tool, allowing you to tailor your tone to any setup with absolute precision via its parametric mid controls.

Find and eliminate problem frequencies in certain guitars and amps, shape broad mid 'scoops' or boost anywhere on the mid spectrum to suit any style. Plug straight into the front of an amp as a standalone drive pedal, or plug into the effects return to make the donor amp 'disappear'.

For even more flexibility, the second output takes your sound and passes it through Orange's CabSim circuit, recreating the frequency response of a miked Orange 4x12" cab, ideal for direct recording or even connecting to a PA.

Wide Gain Range - The Bax Bangeetar's gain structure covers a breadth of overdrive and distortion without ever sounding compromised, however you set it. At the minimum, the Bax Bangeetar is an awesome clean boost or low gain driver, highly receptive to different guitar and pickup combinations. As the gain increases, you'll go from classic Orange crunch and vintage rhythm tones, through to soaring leads and right up to genuinely insane levels of distortion. The Boost switch offers a 'clean boost' after the gain stage when the pedal is engaged to help your leads jump out of the mix in a live setting.

No Diode Clipping - As soon as you plug into the Bax Bangeetar, you'll quickly notice that all the sounds contained within remain articulate and tight across the gain range, without any hint of wooliness. Orange has achieved all of this without the use of the back-to-back diode clipping techniques found in most pedals. This box distorts and behaves just like their amps, with natural-sounding and controllable breakup, and delivers serious punch with no stifling compression.

Baxandall EQ With Full Parametric Mid Controls - Inspired by some of the highly-sought after consoles of the 1960s but with a number of modern tweaks, the Bax Bangeetar's EQ really separates it from other drive pedals. With an open treble response and controlled low end, the fun properly starts with the mid controls.

The Bax Bangeetar's 'Freq' knob selects the center frequency you wish to affect. The 'Q' controls the bandwidth, sweeping from narrow to wide, allowing you to fine-tune a precise or broad frequency range. The 'Mid' knob can then be set to cut or boost those frequencies, for exact command over your tone.

Ultra Transparent Buffered Bypass - True bypass' is well-intentioned but is not without limitations. Orange's linear buffer circuit is designed for the growing number of discerning players who realize the positive effects that a studio-quality buffer can have on their overall tone. Whether you need to drive a pedal board or just need a little help getting a pure signal to your amp, Orange's buffered bypass ensures no degradation and no loss of clarity or high end. Placed first in your chain, you’ll sound better, even when the pedal is off.

Internal Charge Pump - Key to the design is Bax Bangeetar's charge pump, which doubles the internal voltage to 18V from a 9V source. This is not only crucial to the bypass circuit, but also means this pedal has a wider dynamic range and more output, with even greater definition and headroom than a conventional 9V pedal. The Bax Bangeetar can run on a single standard 9V battery, or an external regulated AC-DC adapter.

CabSim Output - The second output takes the Bax Bangeetar's preamp and passes it through Orange's CabSim circuit, faithfully emulating the sound of a miked Orange 40th Anniversary PPC412 4x12" cabinet, loaded with Celestion G12H 30 speakers. Connect the CabSim output to a recording console to capture huge Orange tones in the studio, or to a powered monitor or PA for a versatile live setup. Both the regular and CabSim outputs can be used independently or simultaneously.
