Orange Amps Electric Guitar Power Amplifier, (Crush20RT)

Bangin little amp. so far, sound quality and functions have been great. to be honest, i really bought this amp because of the way it looks. i love the pop of orange. even if it was a horrible amp i’d probably still keep it and prop it in the corner of my apartment and put a plant on top of it for the vibes. so i’d consider it a plus that it also happens to be a great amp.

I bought this amp a few years back to use in my Luthier shop to test guitar electronics and pickups. I really did not use it much for playing my own guitars. I recently added some jazz to my classical/fingerstyle playing and using a great arch top guitar. I was using a Carvin 100 amp I purchased many years ago. The amp is in perfect condition. I just could not get that jazz sound I was looking for so just for fun I plugged in the Orange RT 20. I am absolutely amazed! The jazz guitar sounds great and I can dial in the tone I am looking for even though it is a basic one channel amp with few bells and whistles. I could not believe the sound I heard when I plugged in my guitar. Also, it works great for rock/Blues and has a dirty setting which I don't use. I just bought another Orange, The RT 30 just for fun. Anyway, for me, I love this amp.

I'm sold on Orange amps. If you need a nice little practice amp you can't go wrong with it. I have two Orange amps and I love them both. There are cheaper amps out there, but I honestly feel these are worth the money. Decent features and sound.

I have a collection of high end vacuum tube amplifiers, I bought this as a small practice amp that I could use headphones with. After playing this amp for about 5 minutes, I covered my other amplifiers with dust covers. This little box is absolutely AMAZING! I don’t know how they did it, but this little gem sounds like a 4x12. The reverb is buttery smooth with no digital artifacts, the dirty channel has tons of gain, the clean channel is extremely clean with tons of sparkle and chime. The tuner is good once you get use to it. I can honestly say this amp has greatly exceeded my expectations. It’s not picky about which guitar I plug into it, which is weird to me, all of my guitars sound great thru this amp. I wouldn’t be ashamed to mic this up and play a huge venue with it. This is, I believe, the best little solid state combo amp ever made.

I got this today and it fits my needs perfectly. I play stuff that sounds like The Cramps, Link Wray or T.Rex and basically need two sounds for my 45 min set. I clean reverby sound and a Brit crunch sound. I was using a Fender Rivera Super Champ but playing in Punk clubs in crappy parts of town I needed something reliable,light weight, good sounding ( close to my Fender) and cheap and replaceable if it gets stolen. 100% on reliable,lite weight and cheap. The sound is 90% there but the crunch is a little fizzy sounding compared to the Fender Super Champ. The eq and reverb on this amp are great. I love the clean sounds as well. I run it right into the PA with a stereo cable into L/R using the 4X12 cabinet emulation and it sounds fantastic. No more miking the amp. Easy setup small and lite. Still does not have quite the tube crunch I like with my Fender Super Champ or old Vox AC50 but all the other pluses wipe out the one negative. The tuner is a nice feature too

Clear value for the money. No need to read the directions setup is completely intuitive. 3 band Eq, Distortion, Reverb, Clean tone, gain, volume, headphone jack, a jack for a footswitch, built in tuner and that's about it. Add to that it sounds amazing. For practice, small venue, in home use, it exceeded my expectations.

In my quest to lower stage volume and to continue to search for the holy grail of tone, I picked up one of these little guys to use in our practice space. Now it has replaced my larger amps on stage. We are playing predominantly southern rock/ classic rock and the clean channel on this with a Boss Blues Driver pushing it sounds like a much larger (and more expensive) tube amp. Sound guys are blown away by the tone I'm getting out of this little amp once it is mic'd up. The dirty channel can get away from you, but it does sound distinctly like an Orange should. Overall, a great amp for a great price with the bonus of being small and light!

This amp sounds good at low power, so it’s perfect for the bedroom player. Turn it up, and it’s a capable stage amp too! It’s clean circuit is crystal clear, or you can turn it metal with the push of a button. Tuner flashes slower as you get closer to the pitch, which is nice.
