Overview

Guitar Amps need not be complicated to be effective, and this is exemplified by the success of Orange Crush 12.

The Orange Crush 12 is an affordable solid-state combo amp that is based on the popular Rockerverb, reproducing Orange's brand of overdriven tone at a more beginner friendly price point.

Rated at 12 Watts and with a 6" speaker, this amp has enough juice for personal practice and even for a small group jams.

Controls follow classic amp setup with 3-band EQ and volume, the main difference is the ability to adjust overdrive and gain independently in addition to the volume knob.

If you're a fan of Orange's brand of overdriven tones, getting this portable student friendly amp is an easy decision.
