Like all PLX FX pedals, this pedal is a true bypass, so there is no coloration to your sound when it’s turned off. It utilizes a standard 9v 2.1mm power adapter and NO battery snap.

Amazing OR Preamp that really gives you a lot of control on dialing in your desired tone. While it handles thicker fuzzy tones really well, it excels at glassy cleans and breakup tones that hearken to the 70’s OR’s. You won’t be disappointed with this versatile beast!

This pedal rules, there are so many shaping options with this thing. This pedal has changed my outlook on overdrive. Very well build and the layout is very neat and user friendly. Do yourself a favor and get you one. “Turn any amp into an orange or make your orange amps orangier.” -Electrofoods

This came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. Does the classic cranked orange thing amazingly well, but with a huge EQ range. Gritty breakup for days and a massive amount of low end on tap. Like “I wonder if my speakers can handle this” amounts of low end. Really incredible pedal that plays super well with boosts and fuzzes.

There are a lot of boutique pedal companies out there, and then there’s companies that build pedals that are built to last, and have amazing tone. PLX-FX fits in the second category. The Droogen is one hell of a pedal. I use it mostly as a base overdrive, which works amazing … BUT, at times, our use it as a boost on my guitar rig as well. It gives it that extra push over the edge and supplies great tone while doing so. Not to mention this thing is built like a tank. Very highly recommend!

This pedal is the always-on linchpin of my board. The gain sounds incredible (super tubey), and the EQ is otherworldly good. It’s whisper quiet and reliable. I play an Orange amps and this makes all of them sound More Orange. I cannot say enough nice things about this pedal.

The bass player of Green Meteor ( Al) recommended this pedal when I was looking for a MATAMP/ 70s orange pre amp sound for bass needs… I couldn’t be happier with this pedal… it’s always on really and is my over all sound… I find myself trying other pedals temporarily but I always go back to the Droogen..
