Orange Amplification has introduced the Guitar Butler, a six-string focused version of its Bass Butler. The pedal offers a fully-featured two-channel preamp along with a versatile set of I/O.

The preamp pedal can be used in a number of ways. The quarter-inch Amp output can be run into a standard amplifier, as if it were an overdrive pedal. Results will vary here depending on the amplifier you use, but as the Guitar Butler is a full preamp, expect heavy overdrive if you’re running into a low-headroom or overdriving amplifier.

For more control, the Amp output can run into a dedicated power amplifier or an FX loop return to use the Guitar Butler as your only preamp stage. To use the pedal direct, there is a balanced XLR output with a ground lift switch. This output has a cabinet simulation, and can be run straight into a mixer or audio interface. There’s also a buffered effects loop if you want to run time-based effects after the preamp’s gain stages.

The Guitar Butler has a clean and a dirty channel. The clean channel has a gain control and a three-band EQ, while the dirty channel has a gain control, a presence control, a three band EQ and two master volumes. These two volumes are switched between with the left footswitch, while the right footswitch changes channel.

The Guitar Butler lists for $429. Find out more at orangeamps.com
