Orange Crush 20 Twin-Channel 20W Guitar Amplifier, Orange

This amp is a banger. Super fun to jam on. It’s simple and straight forward. The built-in overdrive sounds great.I primarily use it clean, connected to my pedal board. Compared to my Spider V30, the Orange Crush 20 is superior. I’m able to create the sounds and tones easily that sound authentic to what I’m looking for.The price of the Orange Crush 20 plus pedals can be comparable to the Spider v30 when you shop right. You can save some money and go without the built in reverb if you have pedals.

I bought this amp for my son, who is learning to play guitar. I am a musician and a recording engineer, so I know a good amount about gear. In my experience, this is the best practice-sized / beginner amp out there.Even though it's a solid state amp with a small speaker, it sounds great! Clear, crisp clean tones that sound really nice with a strat. Fun distortion that brings that "garage" tone to power chords. Decent reverb that has a sort of "surf" vibe when turned up. Plenty loud for indoor jamming, and I'd be comfortable playing small gigs with it, especially if it were mic'd up. I like that my son can use the headphone jack and save the rest of us from going insane while he learns to play D correctly.The only thing I don't like is the tuner, which doesn't work very well. It will get you close, but it's not as accurate as most tuning pedals. I've found this to be the case for most "onboard" tuners however, so it seems to just be the way things are. Not a big deal.Overall, a perfectly respectable amp at a killer price, backed by the Orange name, which adds some credibility. Of course, it's not a high end Orange product, but it sounds more like one than it should for the price. Certainly better than any similarly priced offerings from other companies.

Sounds great and you practically don't even need a pedal! Compact but you can bother the neighbors (or your wife/girlfriend) easily. I've used a Korg drum machine through it and a Stylophone as well with the inputs added.

I love this little amp. The clean and dirty channels are both awesome. You can dial in lots of tones for different grenres. Great value!

Small and sounds awesome!!

I am amazed at the big sound coming out of this little amp! I've only used this at home and can only turn it up to 3 or 4... and I like it loud!The clean channel blows any practice amp away I have played yet and I have played a few.This amp is not a tube amp so traveling around isn't going to harm any precious tube but can get a nice warm sound out of it. I am not a fan of the dirty channel. To me it's a little weak, but I have a few pedals that can really make the amp put out sweet sounds.The back is closed and has a standard PC cord that can power it so many inexpensive power cords are out there. It came with a 6' power cord.The logo and name plate on the front are hot glued onto the grill. I'm not a fan of the weaved twine "grill". If there were 1 thing to change I might put a grill that's not so easy to put a foot through. Some people like the look and is a defining look to Orange (besides the color), but in the year 2015, to me it just looks cheap.If you more into how it sounds then how it looks this is the right amp for you!I'm so impressed with this amp, I put all my vintage ones on a famous classified site just so I can replace them with these newer solid state amps.I recommend and I am going to buy more when the kids get more practice.I give it 9/10. I only dock 1 point because I cannot overlook the twine grill but that's "the look" so I give it 5 stars!

A very very good amplifier. I really love the sound and the design. There is unique and quirky personality in it.But should you get this amp? That depends.This is very minimalistic amp: Build is pretty solid, but probably not as solid as Fender amps.And not as versatile as Marshall amps in similar price range too. It's very simple amp. Easy to use, but not too much experiments you can do.If you are fine with the minimalist aspect of this amp and love the design and tone, this is the amp you'll love. So, try this amp at local guitar shop and if you are not convinced, don't get this amp. If you like it, just get this one.But hear me this: you will get much much more robust options (Reverb and built-in tuner) with 20RT if you can pay $50 more.And I think that's more than $50 difference in a long run. If you can afford 20RT, get 20RT instead of this model. You will not regret it.

My friend uses it and before used a 12 watt. This one had some nice new tones
