The Orange Crush 20 Guitar Amplifier Combo takes a hard-line approach to guitar tone and shoves it into a compact and portable package. With two channels for Clean and Dirty, this amp can deliver anything from shimmering cleans, to full on metal tones.
Its four stage preamp design delivers a huge amount of overdriven and distorted sounds that's rich in harmonic and overtones. The custom 8" Voice of the World speaker turns 20 Watts into a sonically rich, punchy sound. The Crush 20 uses analogue circuitry which gives the amp a lively feel and on the point responsiveness that Orange is famous for. The 3-band EQ is highly effective, and allows for a large amount of control over your sound.
The high gain preamp used in combination with the custom designed Voice of the World speaker, and you have an amp that delivers the perfect balance between vintage highs and modern low end punch. Low noise components provide four stages of gain with exceptional richness and clarity. These allow the amp to deliver everything from crystal clear cleans, to classic crunch, and then goes all the way to a huge, ultra-high gain metal distortion.
A new CabSim feature has been integrated into the headphone/line output. This emulates the sound of a mic'd up Orange 4×12″ cabinet loaded with Voice of the World speakers. This means that your sound isn't compromised when practicing silently or when connected to a mixer/recording console. It also features an AUX in, allowing you to jam along with your favourite tracks.
The Crush 20 is finished in Orange's legendary livery that dates back to 1968. It features the basket weave vinyl, woven speaker grille cloth, signature 'picture frame' edging and iconic hieroglyphs on the control panel.

Absolutely love this little amplifier. Tone sounds like a blend of valve and solid state. I use the clean channel mostly as my music is more gentle/ambient/acoustic then Rocky. Headphone output with cabinet simulation is all I could hold for when recording. Fabulous tone, extraordinary value, for me its perfect with my humbuckers guitars. As an extra I can run my bass through the headphone/cab SIM for recording rich sweet bass tone. Many thanks to Orange.
