Angry Orange Distortion and Fuzz

Keeley Electronics Angry Orange Distortion and Fuzz

Keeley crammed two legendary distortion and fuzz circuits into one stompbox and gave you two new sounds in the process.  The Keeley Angry Orange is a 4-in-1 pedal that gives you two well-known fuzz and distortion circuits and allows you to create two dope new hybrid tones!  It’s sort of like pedal-modeling except these are 100% old-school, analog circuits and you decide which tone control or clipping section you want to rock.  Heavily saturate your guitar through either a legendary ‘78 Japanese Orange Distortion or a ‘91 Soviet Civil War Fuzz.  Use the Angry Orange to make your own fuzzztortions with the hybrid modes, all with only three simple knobs.  This pedal can be True Bypass or Buffered Bypass, it only takes two seconds to switch between the modes.  The Keeley Angry Orange is entirely manufactured at Keeley Electronics and is in our new aluminum enclosure. $199 Made In The USA.

• Two classic distortion/fuzz circuits are combined into one pedal
• Swap tone controls and/or distortion sections to create new sounds. By mixing the MF Fuzz and DS Distortion, you can create two unique Hybrid Fuzz Distortions.
• Silent Buffered Bypass or True Bypass – hold footswitch for one second to change
• Professionally Engineered and Expertly Manufactured Pro Audio Gear – sounds developed in the Keeley tone lab and in the field, then built entirely in our factory.

Tone Control

The Angry Orange gives you two tone control circuits to choose from.  When the Tone Switch is up and in the MF Position the tone control is a scooped sounding, passive tilt-style.  If the Tone Switch is down and in the DS Position it also features a passive sounding tilt control, voiced a little differently.

Diode Clipping

Hard or Soft Clipping:  The Angry Orange gives you both styles of diode clipping.  Diodes are used to create hard clipping distortions or smooth overdrive sounds.  If the Clipping Switch is in the DS Position it features Hard Diode Clipping which is an edgier, more aggressive tone.  When the Clipping Switch is in the MF Position that uses Soft Diode Clipping, like a muffled fuzz tone.

Angry Orange – Buffered Bypass or True Bypass

The Keeley Electronics Angry Orange Distortion and Fuzz features our Jfet buffer for noise free switching.  We developed an amazing sounding buffer which not only makes your rig sound better, it gives you silent switching with no tone loss.  No more pops and clicks to distract from your music.  If you want to turn that feature off and go back to true bypass, simply press and hold down the foot switch for two seconds and the pedal will switch to True-Bypass (LED will flash twice).  True Bypass is great for players that want the effect of plugging directly into their amp when the pedal is off.  Alternatively, players that want a strong and clear signal even when the Angry Orange is turned off, simply hold the stomp switch down for two seconds and the effect is back to Buffered Bypass (LED flashes three times).  Enjoy truly silent switching and let your music be the only voice.

Made In The USA

We design, engineer, and manufacture the Keeley Angry Orange in Oklahoma City.  Everything about the Angry Orange is geared towards the professional musician and their quest for an inspiring tone when the performance demands it.  From the inside of the pedal and its meticulously built circuit boards to the tour-ready, heavy-duty aluminum outside; we design and manufacture guitar effects to be finely crafted musical instruments.
