Great tone!

Very satisfied with my purchase. The amp is a solid build. Only two questionable things I've noticed on my unit

1. When on the dirty channel ( with gain at varying levels) one of the GREEN "OK" light on the tuner flickers constantly ( with the tuner turned off)
2..(shown In image) the on/off button For the tuner is just set in place without glue or anything, and fell out of the top of my amp as I took it out of the box. Does not effect my usage As the amp will be stationary. Did not rush to report because i diddnt want to return my item after how hard I looked to buy one.
Music background: Roughly 13 years of guitar foolery , just getting back into practicing seriously.

Orange CR 20RT

The 20rt is the best little amp I have ever owned! I've been playing for over 45 years now and have played more amps in that time than I would like to list. Orange amps have mastered the engineering needed to become the best sounding equipment needed for stage, studio, and home use! I own the 60 Pro, 35rt, and now the 20rt, and this amp shines all by itself, I have put it through the paces and for me it has a little somthing to it especially when cranked! Miked it at a gig, without a mic in a large garage and it easily kept up with drums and bass. I keep it on top of a milk crate so the sound is off the floor, stage, ect. Take my word for it, I couldnt believe that it really is that great for the size! This amp also records better than my pricey tube amps! Get one, overall-if you get an amp that sounds bad, return it for another one, anyone can sound great through the Orange Crush 20RT!!!! Eddy

Good practice amp

I give it five stars as a small practice amp. Is it a five star amp? No, nothing this size and price range can get that rating. For what it is, a $ amp with an 8 inch speaker, well, it is quite good. The clean sound is very nice. The dirty channel is usable but, once again, with an 8 inch speaker, don't expect it to sound like a 4*12.
If does have a nice touch sensitivity and cleans up when rolling back the guitar volume.
The reverb is very nice sounding.
The one weak point is the tuner. Yes, it works but isn't the ultimate in accuracy or user friendliness. But I didn't buy the amp for the tuner. It does get the job done, mostly, but there are better options.

Do I like the amp? Yes.
Is it good enough so that I *want* to go noodle with it? Yes.
Would I buy it again if I had a do-over? Yes.
This amp is good enough to gig with. By itself it could do coffee shop type gigs. If it was miced, then the PA is the limit.
It also seems very pedal friendly. I run a Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal into it in the clean channel and it is very sweet.
Music background: Playing for 50 years off and on.

Disability

Thanks to "whatever" I can barely pick up my Vintage Vibrolux Reverb, and let's not get maudlin or sympathetic or any of that crap, but I really needed an amp that I could "Putz" with from location to location, and the Orange Crush 20RT is Soooo Very much the perfect thing. 15 pounds! Excellent for my clavicle and shoulder with 9 pieces of titanium "Magneto and Titanium Man"!!! with reverb and built in distortion and a TUNER. WOW! And with the HEADPHONES plug...! I can BLAST away while Dad (he just turned 91 on Feb. 1st 2023 -- I Absolutely Kid you NOT) he can submerse himself in the evening news for 3 hours and I can blast away through the headphones with oh, soooo many settings. (I bought the Donner Chorus just so I could sound like more than 1 guitar. The "Compressor" probably comes next, and I already have an MXR Flanger, so again SOUNDS GALORE.) I cannot rate the Orange Crush 20RT high enough. I can absolutely say that it could easily handle a local tavern or bar of, say, 5000 sq. feet, give or take 1000 sq. feet, with NO TROUBLE. I know VERY well what 10,000 sq. feet looks like and I believe it could handle that size with just a little bit of "push." A SINCERE thank you to All Concerned.
