ORANGE AMPLIFIERS Crush Mini 3w Guitar Amp Review - Gear Gods

geargods.net

The Orange Crush Mini packs a surprising punch for its size, delivering impressive low-end tones and a versatile sound-shaping knob that simplifies tone dialing. Its portability and built-in tuner add to its practicality, making it an excellent choice for practice and small jams. On the downside, the limited power and small speaker mean it won't compete with larger amps in terms of volume or headroom. However, at a budget-friendly price point of around $69, it stands out as a compact and convenient option for guitarists seeking a no-frills practice amp.

Small affordable box with big possibilities

The looks of this orange amp in miniature are really cool, but don't think this is a toy or pure decoration. This little box provides many possibilities for very little price. I'm using the Crush Mini with a portable pedalboard, powered by the same Harley Benton battery power bank I use for the pedals.

The direct sound is limited by the speaker size, and too much distortion becomes unpleasing. However, the clean sound is good, and usable as a pedal platform. The cab output makes it go to another level. Connecting to a cab you can get a good loud sound with a totally portable solution. In comparison, the sound through the cab is not as full as with the Orange Micro Dark, but still sounds good with the Crush Mini.

The headphone output for the Crush Mini is quite usable (much better than the Micro Dark, which was a bit noisy).

Bad one.

One to avoid. Extremely bad sound on "crunch" setting. The only good thing about it is the built-in chromatic tuner. Still, you can't really get much worse than MicroCrush.

Not bad as a head

Sounds good through a cab. Not bad for a small low wattage head. Not enough power or gain on its own but it is a toy.

Good amp for traveling or practice

Many people crap on these amps for sounding awful, but it's not a full-sized Orange amplifier that has more Watts and a larger speaker, it's more of a novelty and not meant to be taken seriously. I do own one and I'm happy with it because I can take it to school with me and practice or If don't feel like setting up my Blackstar.
