The Orbit 1974 combines the nostalgic vibe of late 60s fuzz with the ease of a contemporary pedal design.
It features two carefully chosen vintage germanium transistors that deliver a warmer tone than typical silicon transistors.
Issues related to low input impedance and high output impedance have been addressed, allowing you to seamlessly integrate buffers both before and after the Orbit without compromising the sound quality. The pedal incorporates a unique transformer circuit that emulates pickup behavior, working directly with the fuzz circuit's input. As a result, the Orbit pairs beautifully with any pedal placed in front of it, including reverb for shoegazers. It also handles active pickups, drum machines, basses, and synthesizers effortlessly. Thanks to its low output impedance, the cable connected after the pedal won’t diminish high frequencies, unlike the original Fuzz Face.
