Freight Train
Unleash the raw, gritty power of the Old Orange Freight Train Overdrive! This boutique pedal is a true sonic freight train, barreling down the tracks with an unapologetic, vintage-inspired tone that'll have your amp roaring like a lion. At the heart of the Freight Train lies a unique CD4049 IC and a beefy 330u capacitor, which combine to deliver a crisp, dirty overdrive that's perfect for open chords and singing lead lines. The circuit's "chimey" high-end adds a touch of shimmer, while the raw, edge-of-breakup character provides the perfect amount of grit and attitude. What makes the Freight Train truly special is its ability to push your amp into that sweet spot where it's just on the verge of breaking up. Crank the gain, and you'll be rewarded with a thick, harmonically-rich overdrive that's equally at home in classic rock, blues, and even some modern indie tones. Guitarists in search of that elusive "Indy heaven" sound will find the Freight Train to be an invaluable tool. Handmade in Olympia, Washington, the Freight Train is housed in a sturdy, powder-coated Hammond 1590B enclosure, ensuring years of reliable performance on stage or in the studio. Whether you're looking to add some vintage-inspired bite to your clean tone or to send your amp into glorious, tube-like distortion, the Old Orange Freight Train is a must-try pedal for any discerning guitarist.
