Buddy And The Orange Squeezer Pedal

[Dennis Detweiler]

I finally see how Buddy was getting that compressed growl in the early 80's. You can hear it on a few videos during that time. It was the Orange Squeezer pedal. My question, is the Analogman Juicer comparable to the Orange Squeezer Pedal. The Analogman website says, it is. Does anyone here have experience with a comparison? Bill Ferguson or Ernie Renn, maybe?

Looking at the circuits, the Analogman Juicer compressor is an exact clone of the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer. The only differences: Analogman uses true bypass, while the original used an older bypass scheme that left the circuit partially connected, so dulled the tone a bit during bypass. And Analogman added a volume control that the Orange Squeezer didn't have.

Thanks Mike. I may have to acquire a Juicer.

i'm curious....anybody willing to post examples of the sound you're talking about?

Dave, if you google YouTube "Night Life Ray Price Live", you can hear it on Buddy's ride. Same on that evening when he played "I Love You Because." There's also a YouTube of Del Reeves singing "Good Time Charlies." Buddy is using it there also. Find it on YouTube, google, YouTube Parissteel.
