Critic Reviews

BBE Orange Squash

ovnilab.com

BBE's Orange Squash, a Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer clone, falls short of expectations. While it's solidly built and bass-friendly, it lacks the clarity and funkiness of boutique counterparts. With a puzzlingly complex circuit, it's functional but overshadowed by better options at similar prices.
