Unboxing the CR120H reveals a reassuringly beefy combo that feels as robust as its more expensive valve-powered stablemates.įor instance, its chunky toggle switches don't just look the part, they have a satisfying roadworthiness that you just don't get from the plastic rocker switches that we often encounter at this end of the market.Īround the back, the slimline but classic-looking head's pair of 16-ohm speaker outputs allow for three load configurations: one 16-ohm cabinet connected to one of the speaker outputs two 16-ohm cabinets connected to both speaker outputs (or daisy-chained together to one of the speaker outputs) and one eight-ohm cab connected to one of the speaker outputs.

The Crush Pro series consists of the CR120 head on test, plus a CR60 combo, large 2x12 combo version of the 120-watter. Solid-state guitar amps will never sound or react the same as tube amps, but the goal here was to do something very cool with it, at an affordable price." "My part in it was more about tweaking the amp sonically and getting the output sensitivity nailed. The crush cr120h has been designed to look and sound the part, be it in a rehearsal, living room or on the stage."Regarding adapting the Rockerverb circuit to op-amps, I was hands-on but didn't actually do the design work myself," Adrian goes on to reveal. The crush cr120h packs a 120 watts into a head with the classic orange look. Like with all our amplifiers, the look had to be right, the crush exhibit the same features as their valve based brothers which includes orange basket-weave tolex, woven speaker grille, beading, hieroglyphs and of course the orange signature picture frame edging. The clean channel is based on a two stage, two band eq design, that gives the player a clean but warm sound which when cranked begins to break up, just like a rockerverb! Although simplistic in its design, we have also given the amplifiers a transparent effects loop, allowing you to plug in your favourite pedals to open the amplifier up to a wide variety of situations and playing styles.įinally, the amplifier contains an inbuilt digital reverb, providing the player with a natural sounding spring, hall or plate reverb. The dirty channel use a circuit based on four stages of gain and a three band eq which provide the player with a wide pallet of over-driven and distorted sounds.
The result is an analogue, solid-state, two channel (dirty and clean) amplifier based on the prestigious rockerverb range. The orange design team felt it was important to keep these amplifiers simple and not bombard the player with hundreds of on board features. Orange have spent years researching, developing and testing a solid-state amplifier which they are truly proud of. The reason it has taken so long? We have yet to be happy with the sound, that is, until now. These mark orange’s first foray into the world of high power, solid-state amplifiers. This is perfect for band rehearsals & small to medium gigs the new high power crush range heralds a new dawn for orange amplifiers.
