Orange Fettler

Delightfully doomy drive loosely based on the preamp of the Orange ™ OR-120™ - monster 70's amps with a distinctive growl.

Tuned to work well with standard guitar, drop tuned sludge machines or even bass, with a wide range of tone on offer. Dial back the gain for a little hair and tweak the tonestack for your listening pleasure. Crank the gain and you're into full-on fuzzy saturated sounds.

Available with through-hole or SMT FETs, for those with a steady hand who want to save a few quid.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
