Smooth-sounding Class A-style Overdrive
Plug into the Orange Getaway Driver, and you’ll experience singing tone with smooth compression and responsive touch. This amp-in-a-box-style overdrive pedal boasts a Class A, single-ended gain structure, delivering a unique sonic signature that’s rich in even-order harmonics. You can sculpt your distortion with Volume, Gain, and Bite controls, along with an internal button that rolls off frequencies above 20kHz. A CabSim output ensures that headphone listening and direct connection to a computer or PA sounds great. The Getaway Driver employs high-quality, ultra-transparent buffered bypass switching and an internal charge pump for increased headroom.
Overdrive pedals are tube amps in a box
Guitarists love overdrive, and the Getaway Driver is no exception. Overdrive pedals mimic a tube amplifier at its breakup point, where softer playing sounds clean and harder playing sounds crunchy. You can use an overdrive pedal as a volume or boost control to drive your amp harder, or dial in more gain to thicken up your leads and aggressive rhythms. Combining an overdrive pedal with your amp’s natural overdriven character can result in monster tone. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that a subtle overdrive that doesn’t add volume can add expressive depth to your sound without going too far.
