The Orange Crush CR120C is a 120W solid-state combo made from 18mm ply and loaded with two 12? 60W, 16 Ohm Voice of the World speakers. The Voice of the Worlds combined with the analogue solid-state circulatory gives the CR120C the tonal clarity and definition players adore in an Orange amplifier.
The Crush CR120C combo amp is part of the Crush range, marking Orange's first foray into the world of high power, solid-state amplifiers. Orange have spent years creating a solid-state amp they could be proud of. The Orange team wanted to keep these amp simple. The dirty channel uses a circuit based on four stages of gain and a three band EQ which provides the player with a wide pallet of over-driven and distorted sounds. 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.
These amps have a transparent effects loop, allowing you to plug in your favorite pedals. It also contains a digital reverb that provides a natural sounding spring, hall or plate reverb. The Crush CR120C features Orange basket-weave Tolex, woven speaker grille, beading, hieroglyphs, and of course the Orange signature picture frame edging.

Wow, what a deal! I love this amp. I bought a condition 2 for less - totally worth the money, every penny! The only thing that was missing from a new was the instruction manual. The amp had one slightly dented corner protector that I removed, hammered back into shape, and replaced. The grill face, speakers, controls, backlight, covering, and knobs were all pristine. I scored. Never be afraid to buy level 1 and 2 from this vender; they are always Better then what they say! I will use this amp for everything! Now to find a cover for it!

.dont let the fact that it is a solid state turn you away from it, this thing has the orange tube sound nailed ! it is my first orange amp and i love it ! compared the sound to the rockverb it is based off of and they sound the same !!! orange really did a great job at this amp and rhe cleans are awesome.

.THIS AMP LACKS THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE A QUALITY MUSICAL TONE BE IT LEAD OR RHYTHM. I DID NOT FIND IT TO BE PEDAL FRIENDLY FOR MY SETUP ALBEIT AMPS AND PEDALS NOT ALWAYS MATCH. NOT MUCH TOUCH SENSIBILITY WITH VIBRATO. ORANGE NEEDS TO LOOK TO VOX WITH THEIR VALVTRONIX LINE TO HEAR LOW WATTAGE MARSHALL/PLEXI, AMERICAN BLACK/TWEED TONES WHERE ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE GILMOUR/PAGE/HENDRIX/TROWER TONES IN A SIMPLE NO FUSS, NO ENDLESS KNOB TWEEKING PACKAGE. MY OPINION IS THAT A REFINED TUBE PREAMP COUPLED WITH A LUSH SPACIOUS REVERB/CHORUS/DELAY IN THE AMP WOULD GO FAR WITH THE ORANGE CRUSH. WHEN PLAYING THIS AMP, I COULD NOT GET INTO THE ZONE AS I COULD NEVER FIND THE SWEET SPOT. SOLUTION FOR ME, BLACKSTAR HT 60 AB BOXED TO MY VOX VT80+ FOR FULL WIDE SPECTRUM ROCK/BLUES PALATTE. IF YOU HAVE TO GO WITH ORANGE, STEP UP I GUESS AND GO WITH THEIR TUBE AMP LINE AS THEIR SOLID STATE FAILS.

I've been hoping Orange would come out with a solid state amp equal in quality to their tube amps. This is it. I know tube amps have a lot of fans and for good reasons, but for my usage, this is perfect. It is a little on the heavy side, but since it stays in my "music cave", that's not really an issue. Great sound from both the clean and dirty channels (although my playing tends more towards the clean side). One issue, though, and this applies to almost every amp or instrument I've ever bought....no user's guide or manual for setup or for getting the best sound, etc.

.I primarily use this amp at home and wanted something easy to use and this is it. I haven't played out with it yet but it has plenty of power.

.After trying many different amps over the years and never being completely satisfied, I decided to try and find a solid mid-level amp that fit my needs and months of searching led me to this. Never happy with tube amps, I knew it had to be solid state. After whittling it down to 2 or 3 different amps, I went with the Orange based on reviews, you tube videos and because of who uses Orange amps, their sound, etc...
Well, when this amp showed up at my door, I was tempted to just plug it in and let it fly, but being in a household with other people, it wasn't an immediate option. After playing around with the amp at very low volume and kind of disappointed with the sound, I was able to finally give it a little volume and BAMMM!!!, what a sonic landscape this bad boy painted! The dirty channel has everything I ever looked for in an amp! I've always been a user of pedals, overdrives and distortions, but with this amp you can pretty much dial in a great sound with no outboard accessories! Crunchy and earthy overdrive with a nice warm sound when playing leads.
The clean channel hasn't been used too often in the 6 months since I bought this. Using less pick attack and a lower volume on the guitar knob gave me the softer sounds I needed in dirty mode, so there hasn't been a desire for anything else.
Overall this amp is the best I've ever played through, and I've had a Marshall, a Fender tube and a boutique Gibson to name a few. This one comes highly recommended!

.Amp sounds great and with the limited knobs it's super easy to get dialed in to a sound you like. Clean channel sounds amazing and all my pedals sounds incredible with it. Dirty channel is really good as well, but I still prefer the sound I get through my RAT... Maybe I still need to play with it some more.
I have a Marshall solid state amp and this blows it away x 100. I spent a lot of time researching solid state amps and this is the one I was drawn to for performance and price. There's probably a couple others on the market that get better sound but they will cost you over a grand. Otherwise this one still outperforms many tube amp I have seen for much higher prices. Orange doesn't mess around, this is a great amp.
One con is the thing is really heavy if you plan to play live with it a lot. Not that big of a deal really.
Worst thing is the amp smells terribly like mothballs, I'm assuming from wherever it was stores. I've had the amp for a couple weeks and my music room still smells strongly of mothballs even though I've been airing it out. At least I don't have any moths back there now. Seriously though, the smell is stupidly strong.

.Great amp love, so responsive to pick attack. Major clean headroom. Varying crunch tones with a twist of the gain knob (havent had avsetting ive disliked yet). Great all all volume levels period, but really shines when it starts to push air. A classic rock machine. Fit and finish + detailing is second to none. Ooozing with Orange mojo. Would like to see how the VOTW speakers compare to the 2x12 extension cab with Celestions, for now all aces.... Orange is currently running a promo for a free Orange 2 button foot switch which will enhance the experience. If you must have tubes then don't, you will always wonder "what if", if you want a beautiful, awesome, loud, great sounding amp that you can gig anywhere right outta the box, then join us.... Hail hydra! Going now to channel my inner jimi and jimmy... Caio!

.Let me start by saying I am no where near a pro and have yet to learn what most have forgot but I am not a beginner. I have been playing for 20 plus years and have had the opportunity to play with some some very polished players. This is the first solid state amp that I have disconnected my 2 distortion pedals from my pedal board and no longer use. Out of the box I did not like the sound because I unplugged a fender twin to use this but once I got it dialed in very pleasing. It's not better or worse just a very pleasing sound that if you know some what how to find the " sweet spot " of an amp you will be pleasantly surprised.
I researched this amp very intensely on you tube and I am here to tell you if you think it sounds good there you will be blown away.
I haven't got my tele dialed in yet but a twin hum bucket guitar sounds like heaven through this amp.
I will say this is more a band plus gigging amp not for your bedroom, it has power.
Also an analog delay thru the effects loop is probably one of the best clean or distorted sounds I have heard.
Almost like when a sound guy dresses your gear and you hear it for the first time.
Hope this helps, great amp love it!!!
