Keeley | Angry Orange | 4-in-1 Fuzz & Distortion | Based on Civil War Muff & DS-1

Keeley crammed two legendary distortion and fuzz circuits into one stompbox and gave you two new sounds in the process. 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. 

- 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 Angry Orange allows you to quickly switch between either mode. Having a great buffer will make your rig sound strong and clear even when the pedal is off. Buffered switching prevents the pops and clicks of true-bypass switching. If you want to turn on true-bypass, simply press and hold the foot switch for two seconds. Holding the switch for two seconds toggle between modes. True Bypass is great if a buffer might affect the tone of a vintage pedal. Enjoy truly silent switching and a better sounding rig with Keeley's buffered switching mode.
