ORANGE SUSTAIN PEDAL | REVIEW

Orange Sustain Pedal

MSRP (UK) £195  (US) $249

Redesigned with the help of a few old tea-stained original schematics, the Orange Vintage Series Sustain effects pedal is a classic '70s compressor reborn! Orange kept the Sustain's basic design as close as possible to the original, with only a few minor changes being introduced for improved tone and functionality. The introduction of a differential sidechain results in a smoother bloom. The LED in the centre now provides visual feedback, switching colours depending on your gain reduction level. Apart from that, it's simply a world-class 2-knob compressor. Here's Nick Jennison to tell us more.
