Orange Bass Butler Bi-Amp Bass Preamp Pedal

The Orange Bass Butler Bi-Amp Bass Preamp Pedal revives the vintage bi-amping technique in a modern, compact form that fits right on your pedalboard. Bi-amping, a setup where the bass signal is split and sent to both bass and guitar amps, has long been cherished for its ability to deliver rich, full-range tones. Traditionally, this setup required a complex rig often reserved for rock royalty. However, the Bass Butler brings this luxury to every bassist by incorporating parallel, separate signal chains for both bass and guitar, all within a single sturdy steel enclosure.

Designed to act as a comprehensive go-anywhere bass rig, the Bass Butler offers unrivaled tonal versatility. The always-on Bass Channel comes with intuitive controls, including Compression, Bass, Treble, and Volume, delivering anything from deep dub bass lines to hi-fi, polished tones. Additionally, the Guitar Channel packs four gain stages and five controls, allowing you to dial in tones ranging from vintage nuances to modern aggressive distortion. Both channels feature dedicated XLR outputs with cabinet simulators to ensure your meticulously crafted tones reach the mixing desk pristine and intact.

This dual-channel preamp pedal also streamlines your setup with an Amp output that blends both channels before the cabinet simulation circuits. This feature is especially handy when connecting to the front end of any bass amp, giving you full control over your on-stage sound, separate from what the audience hears. Its robust construction and 18V DC power supply ensure high headroom and road-ready durability, making the Bass Butler your ultimate fly rig and studio tool.
