Orange Amplifiers

collapse expand iconDescription

The Orange Amplifiers Crush12 12W 1x6 Guitar Combo Amp raises the bar for practice amps and delivering gut-punching tones with highly-responsive overdrive and levels of detailed saturation that will blow you away. Emulating the dirty channel of the legendary Rockerverb in solid state form, the Crush12 provides enormous, wide-ranging analog tones reminiscent of old-school guitar amplifiers. Thanks to Orange's innovative CabSim circuit, the Crush12 faithfully reproduces the muscle of an Orange 4x12" cabinet through its headphone/line output. For guitarists seeking affordable, portable tone, the Crush12 is a game changer.

Gain Stages Galore

The Crush12's 4-stage gain preamp design delivers responsive overdrive and detailed saturation levels for organic, "gut-punch" tones comparable to Orange's bigger amps. Twist the dedicated overdrive control to unleash a roaring cascade of distortion. The Crush12's 3-band EQ provides tone-shaping control over lows, mids and highs for crafting your perfect sound.

Huge Tones at Whisper-Quiet Levels

Thanks to the Crush12's CabSim-equipped headphone output, you can achieve huge, authentic Orange tones at whisper-quiet levels, emulating the muscle of an Orange 4x12" cabinet. Connect to a mixer, recording console or headphones to capture massive tones at home or in the studio without making a racket. The Crush12 is ideal for practice, recording or performance.

Classic Orange Style

The smallest of the full-format Crush models, the Crush12 exudes classic Orange style with its portable, 12W design and single 6" speaker. Choose between traditional Orange or sleek black. The Crush12 is perfect for guitarists on the go.

Unparalleled Value

Raising the bar for practice amps, the Orange Amplifiers Crush12 12W 1x6 Guitar Combo Amp provides unprecedented analog tone and overdrive in a portable, affordable package. The Crush12 is an unparalleled value for guitarists seeking vintage-inspired tone and modern innovation.

Nicest Amp I have!

I don't have much room in our condo and wanted a nice small little amp with QUALITY.. This is the nicest and most versatile, no nonsense amp I've ever owned! I can see why Orange is popular; high quality at reasonable prices! I like it and I like Guitar Center!

Piece of Garbage

First one I ordered arrived D.O.A. That should have been my warning sign to get something else instead. Guitar Center was nice enough to quickly send a replacement, though. The replacement arrived and all was well for about 3-4 months. Amp didn't sound bad but it wasn't spectacular or anything. Decent distortion, nice clean tone. Basic. But now the replacement amp is dead too, for no reason that I can discern besides faulty workmanship or bad parts or something. It sat plugged in and never got moved the entire time, wasn't cranked to 11 or anything like that...it just, like, gave up. I probably had less than 10 hours total on the thing. My advice would be to avoid this one and buy something else.

    Great practice amp for bedroom volumes. Can get loud enough your ears will hurt before the speaker starts to max out. Would be a great travel amp if you mic up at events.

  • It's all about the overdrive

    Got this a few years ago and didn't know what I had until I tried to step up to one of their more powerful solid state heads (the Super Crush). This has a built-in overdrive that exponentially adds to its distorted tone capabilities (the Super Crush lacks an overdrive so I was quickly disappointed with it). If you want something from Orange that's affordable, portable, great for recording and that can get pretty close to tube warmth in distorted tones, this is a bargain. If you like Orange amps and you want actual tube tone and more power, skip over the Super Crush and spend the money to get the Rockverb.

    Excellent for use in my guitar room which is about 25ft x 25ft. Simple to use but I can get lots of tones out of it.
