OrangeSuper Crush 100 Watt Amplifier Head, Orange

A very good Amplifier. Looks good, the size is perfect. I am still experimenting with the features. Every day I adjust things like the distortion. For me it was a good value.

I’ve played guitar for close to three decades and am embarrassed to say that up until the past 2 years’ish, I was SO basic with my setup. Guitar>pedals>combo amp. All mono. Having a head unit just seemed to offer so much more versatility and after reading the reviews and doing the research went with this and I can now say with certainty, that (at least for me) this is the best amp head in the price range by miles. It sounds as good, if not better (to my ear) as amps that cost 2, 3, 4 times as much. If you’re looking for a guitar amp head within this budget, look no further. You found it. Especially if you like simplicity. There are NOT a million knobs to toggle around with….. which, as long as I get the sound(s) I want, I MUCH prefer. My new favorite amp, right here.

Just a beast

My favorite aspect re this amp is that it’s a looker. Guitars typically are offered in varieties of colors, but amps seldom are, for some weird reason. I bought this on the strength of seeing PubeTube demos of it, claiming it sounds exactly like tubes. But that one bald British hippy who is especially enthused about it could probably plug a Strat into a urinal and it would sound like a tube amp; he’s a technically robot-perfect player. I’m lucky if I can play “Blitzkrieg Bop” all the way through without getting lost. Anyway, this amp sounds as solid state as my B-52 amp head, but a little looser around the edges. And this is a good solid state amp. The price is right, and I’d recommend it. However, if you’re expecting it to sound like a Fender Hot Rod series, you’ve got Another. Thing. Coming.

I have a Marshall origin 50watt combo, and I love it. But when I got the Orange 100watt super crush head, it literally blew my mind. No waiting for tubes to warm up, easy to find your tone, and as everyone says, takes pedals great. So before you throw out thousands of dollars to sound good, you should really consider the Orange super crush 100watt. You won't be disappointed

I’m more of a Doom/Stoner metal guy. Always chasing tone on a budget. This amp does that well but what I didn’t expect was how beautiful the clean channel is. This amp has great cleans to blues rock, fuzzy dirt channel which can get pretty gainy with an overdrive for that modern metal sound. This amp would be great for just about anybody.

This is such an amazing amp head. Worth the price.

Took a star off this review because mine arrived with a dent in the tolex on the front of the unit, but honestly this is a 5 star amp. If you're on the fence just do it.
