Critic Reviews

Orange Crush Pro Series CR120H review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Orange Amplifiers Crush CR120H impresses with its road-worthy build and nearly capturing the classic Orange valve tone in a solid-state format. With 120 watts of power, it’s suitable for gigs and offers versatile cab options. Its straightforward controls and digital reverb modes add to its appeal. However, its value diminishes when factoring in the necessary cab costs, and the absence of an included footswitch is a drawback. While it doesn’t match the dynamic breakup of its valve counterparts, it stands out as a practical, stylish choice for those seeking solid-state reliability without sacrificing too much of the Orange sound.

Great tone, great looks, for not too much money

I bought this amp second hand 4 years ago, and it has been my rehearsing and gigging amp ever since. I love how it looks, and the reliability that comes with it being solid state. It's light enough to carry for small distances, even for a skinny guy like me. I like how the clean channel sounds, although I find it a bit dark for my tastes. It breaks up beautifully at high volumes, and I find that very useful for pairing with fuzzes, or pushing it into distortion with overdrive pedals. The dirty channel is fantastic, and the gain range is very wide, and well tuned. It can go from almost clean to high gain and anything in between. Perfect for most kinds of music. My only major gripe with the amp (and that's probably just my particular one) is how noisy the dirty channel gets. It gets tons of noise at high gain settings, regardless of volume. It might be a technical issue with my particular amp though, as most people are not complaining about noise. The digital reverb is very good, and I like how there's 3 different algorithms to choose from. I don't use it much, but it's nice to have.

how to win a lottery

I am very glad sharing this my amazing testimony on how Dr LUCAS helped me in winning the lottery, I have been living in hell for the past 4years since I had no job, and has been playing the lottery for a long time but I have no luck in winning, but everything changed when I saw testimony of a woman Lerynne west, speaking on how Dr LUCAS helped her in winning IA LOTTERY POWERBALL. I love playing POWERBALL lottery but winning big is always the issue I had. I will never forget the day I came in contact with Dr Lucas who used his great lottery spell to make me a winner of $9,000,000 million dollars. Dr Lucas gave me guaranteed lucky winning numbers within 24hours to play the lottery after he prepared the lottery spell for me. My financial status has changed for good, Dr LUCAS you are the best, this has been the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. If you want to win a lottery never give up contact Dr LUCAS WhatsApp number: +2349047943567 OR Email: [email protected]

solidd

I use it with an Orange PPC212OB, my go-to amp for gigging: I just have to plug it and turn it on, pronto, without worrying too much about the stand-by, the thumps loading/unloading, and all that shit, no need to caress it.

And I also really like that crispy bite solid state gives live, valve has always been a bit to muddy in live settings in my opinion. Also, no one ever comes at me after the gig complaining about the sound not being warm enough.

wow!!!

All that i wanted from an amp is in there. It is loud, it is punchy, it looks great and is built like a tank. Of course your rockverb will sound better, but this one costs 300$ and nobody's gonna notice the difference between it and rockverb in a shitty bar during your gig.

great solid state amp head

I purchased this as a backup head because one of my amps tends to be a problem child so i wanted something reliable without sacrificing tone. This head does just that, its solid state so its lighter, straight to the point, and solid. Its nice having an eq for the dirty channel so you can really dial it in but was a little disappointed when i noticed that there wasn't a full eq for the clean. I was very pleased to see that it comes with a single foot switch pedal that you can either use to switch from channel 1 and 2 or use to turn on and off the amps reverb.

Great head despite it being solid state!

An incredibly reliable head with a great sound. Its solid state too so no need to be replacing any valves! I'm lazy okay.

Live

Was primarily used for touring and promo during the ST/FW era. When I re-recorded most of the guitar tracks for FW, I used this head and the Egnater cab. Sold in March 2019.
