Getaway Driver
Getaway Driver
The Getaway Driver is a high-voltage overdrive pedal inspired by the iconic crunch of a 70s Orange amp cranked to 11. It’s gritty, dynamic, and packed with character, the perfect tool for vintage-style gain, whether you're plugging into an amp, front of house, or headphones. The speaker-emulated CabSim output captures the feel of a miked 4×12, while an internal switch lets you run it as a full-fat preamp. With amp-like breakup, powerful EQ, and versatile outputs, the Getaway Driver brings the sound of a golden era to your board without needing to push an amp into meltdown.

In More Detail
The Getaway Driver is a hot-wired amp in a box, a true love letter to the raw sound of 70s Orange heads and cabs. Running on a 9 V power supply but 18 V internally for added headroom, it delivers bold British gain, touch-sensitive response, and the natural compression of a valve amp on the edge. The CabSim headphone/line out accurately emulates a miked Orange 4×12 cab, making it ideal for silent practice or direct recording. You can even remove it from your signal chain and run it straight into a power amp thanks to the internal button that switches from pedal to preamp mode.
Whether you’re chasing vintage rock tones, building a fly-in rig, or need studio-friendly Orange grit, the Getaway Driver delivers. Use it at 9 V for extra saturation or 12 V for more clarity and punch. It’s everything you’d expect from a screaming Orange amp, distilled into a single box.
70s amp in a box
The Getaway Driver recreates the raw, ripping sound of a vintage Orange amp at full tilt. With gain, volume and active EQ, it responds just like an amp: touch-sensitive, dynamic, and full of growl. Whether you want classic rock crunch or edge-of-breakup chime, it delivers the unmistakable bite and warmth of the 1970s. Built for players who love real amp tones but need them on a pedalboard, the Getaway Driver brings big character in a small, powerful package.
CabSim output
Going direct doesn’t have to mean losing your tone. The Getaway Driver features a CabSim headphone/line output that emulates a miked Orange 4×12 cab, giving you studio-grade tone without a speaker. It’s ideal for silent practice, recording demos or sending your signal straight to front of house. And because it runs alongside the regular amp output, you can use both at once, blending a miked amp and a direct signal, or tracking silently with real amp flavour.
Internal button
Hidden inside the Getaway Driver is a small switch that unlocks a big feature: full preamp mode. Flip the internal button and the pedal’s output is optimised for running straight into a power amp or FX return, bypassing your amp’s preamp stage entirely. It’s perfect for fly rigs, backup setups or creative routing in the studio. Whether you use it as a traditional stompbox or a standalone preamp, the Getaway Driver adapts to your setup without compromising its signature Orange tone.
