The Orange Bax Bangeetar Custom Shop Guitar Pre-EQ Pedal is the company’s first foray into effects pedals since the 1960s.
As a traditional stompbox the Bax Bangeetar is in a class of its own, boasting a unique and hugely versatile gain structure with extensive EQ controls. Dial in an enormous range of overdriven and distorted tones, delivered with a feel and responsiveness rarely found in pedals. Beyond that, though, this preamp pedal is an invaluable tool, allowing you to tailor your tone to any setup with absolute precision via its parametric mid controls.
Find and eliminate problem frequencies in certain guitars and amps, shape broad mid ‘scoops’ or boost anywhere on the mid spectrum to suit any style. Plug straight into the front of an amp as a standalone drive pedal, or plug into the effects return to make the donor amp ‘disappear’. Whatever your rig, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
For even more flexibility, the second output takes your sound and passes it through the CabSim circuit, recreating the frequency response of a mic’d Orange 4×12” cab, ideal for direct recording or even connecting to a PA. Whether on stage or in the studio, the nature and scope of its controls mean there isn’t a situation where the Bax Bangeeter wouldn’t be welcome.
The main features of the Orange Bax Bangeetar Custom Shop Guitar Pre-EQ Pedal include:

Although it is a bit expensive, it's still a very handy piece of equipment.
