Essential Information About the Crazy Tube Circuits Orama Pedal
- Fully analog dual pedal combining an "amp-in-a-box" section inspired by the Orange OR120 and a boutique fuzz with big sustain
- Independent or stackable FUZZ and AMP sections, with a passive serial effects loop for creative chaining
- High-voltage JFET preamp (approx. 34 V internal) offering the feel and dynamics of a true British stack
- Two fuzz voicings RAW/BURN: from vintage velvet to stoner/doom wall
From Orange/Matamp Roots to the "Orama" Vision
True to its name ("vision" in Greek), the
Orama condenses the Orange/Matamp aesthetic of the late 60s/early 70s into a modern pedalboard format. It features the chunky, roaring tone associated with historical references heard in Peter Green, Andy Powell, or Noel Gallagher, plus a 90's boutique fuzz character redesigned for more articulation and headroom. The whole covers classic rock crunch to the densest stoner/doom textures, without compromising musicality.
Who Is the Orama For?
Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists, the Orama excels in
classic rock,
heavy rock,
grunge,
stoner, and
doom. In the studio, the AMP section can serve as a main channel directly into a speaker simulator or an interface. On stage, its compact format, top-mounted jacks, and two silent footswitches allow switching from pushed clean tones to massive riffs with one click, with or without fuzz stacking.
Controls, Routing, and Innovations
The AMP section, based on a high-voltage
JFET circuit, offers
gain,
F.A.T. to sculpt low-mids,
Hz (bass),
kHz (treble),
H.F.D. for brightness and presence, plus a generous
master for preamp/boost roles. The FUZZ section provides
fuzz,
tone,
volume, and two modes
RAW/
BURN to switch from granular softness to crushing sustain. Between the two, a
passive serial loop allows insertion of delays, reverbs, or modulations for perfectly balanced chains.
The Sound
The AMP delivers thick low-mids, percussive attack, and exemplary responsiveness to playing dynamics and guitar volume, with "like an amp" harmonic complexity. The
F.A.T. control adjusts density while
H.F.D. adds brilliance and air without harshness. The FUZZ ranges from a warm veil to a biting, saturated grain, remaining clear even when tuned low. Stacked, the two sections build a singing, controllable wall of sound, ideal for cutting leads, authoritative power chords, and immersive doom landscapes.
