Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Orange’s Getaway Driver combines amp-style drive, a clean-boost option, and a cabinet-simulation output in a three-control pedal. Volume, Bite, and Gain cover the main setup; low Gain with higher Volume can push an amplifier into classic overdrive. Use the transparent buffered first output in an amp rig, or route the buffered Cab Sim/headphone output to headphones or directly to an audio interface. With the second output, cabinet simulation remains active in bypass, letting it serve as a Cab Sim alone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using a clean amp channel for vintage-voiced drive or a higher-volume, low-gain clean boost.
- Sending a cabinet-simulated signal to headphones or directly into a recording interface.
- Keeping cabinet simulation active while bypassing the drive stage in a pedal or amplifier-preamp setup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Connecting the Cab Sim output directly to a PA; a DI box is required for that route.
