Description

Edit description

Crank up your bass game with the Orange Crush Bass, a 50-watt combo amplifier that merges professional-grade features with the convenience of a practice rig. Drawing inspiration from Orange's flagship OB1 and 4 Stroke amplifiers, this amp offers a rich, bi-amped-style tone in a compact design. Its all-analog signal path ensures a warm, punchy bass response, and the rear-ported cabinet enhances low-end delivery for a sound that both fills the room and respects your space.

The Crush Bass 50 is equipped with a versatile active EQ section featuring a sweepable parametric mid band, allowing you to craft your signature sound with precision. Whether you're after modern clarity, vintage grind, or all-out distortion, the interactive Gain and Blend controls have you covered. With a buffered effects loop, integrated tuner, and Cabsim-loaded headphone output, this amp seamlessly transitions from practice to performance, making it a reliable companion for any bassist.

Jam along to your favorite tunes with the aux input, or dive into silent practice sessions with the Cabsim headphone jack that emulates the resonance of a mic'd Orange 4x10 cabinet. The Orange Crush Bass 50 is more than just an amplifier—it's a gateway to exploring and expanding your sonic palette.

Critic Reviews

Orange Crush Bass combos review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Orange's Crush Bass combos deliver quality sound across the range, making them a standout choice for bass enthusiasts. The amps are well-constructed, with great value for money and impressive features, even on the compact 25-watt model. Each combo is praised for its robust sound and practical features like EQ options and practice-friendly inputs. The Crush Bass 50 is noted for its versatility, suitable for small gigs, despite the lack of a balanced DI output. The 100-watt model offers ample headroom and a distinctive gritty tone, ideal for both rehearsals and performances. The only downside noted is the missing balanced DI on the 50-watt version, but overall, these amps are seen as formidable tools for both practice and live settings.
