The Orange Bax Bangeetar Guitar Pre-EQ is their first new effects pedal since the 1970s. Handmade in the Orange Custom Shop, England, this pedal is available in two finishes, black or white. It works as a traditional stompbox, a standalone preamp, and a direct recording tool. The Bax Bangeetar has a good dynamic range, producing classic Orange crunch and rich vintage overdrive at moderate gain settings. Increasing the drive level yields a wealth of modern tones, with large amounts of distortion on offer. For live use, the on-board clean Boost function adds an extra 5dB for solos.
