Product Review I was looking for a Marshall but had some other heads in my list of wants. Orange was on the list but it was more of a bucket list item. I found this one and it covered everything I was looking for. It has two channels, an effects loop and a footswitch accessory. It’s 120 watts and drives my new cabinet just fine, it gets down and dirty with the best of them and has great crisp clear cleans.

Product Review Will smoke most heads because it sounds just as good as a ROCKERVERB MKIII and that smokes most heads I know because I own both

Product Review This is the first amp i’ve had in a long time. Used to play a peavey vtm 120 and this amp honestly helps fill the gap of not having that vtm anymore. the clean is beautiful, the gain is great, full on distortion or a subtle overdrive, it sounds awesome. The reverb is cool to play with when i’m feeling black metal-y or post metal-y.

Product Review I bought the Orange Crush amp for my little head banger. He absolutely loves it. Watching him jam jacked into this amp gives mr a good feeling as a dad. It’s a good investment in him. He will enjoy it for years to come. Very well made, cool color. Simply bad ass!

Product Review I was looking for something different, I have a couple of tube amps that I like to gig with and to record with but I wanted something a bit simpler so I can have at home and to use for practice. I wanted to use a distortion pedal I never get to use. I decided on a solid state amp and I can't stop playing this thing. It takes pedals great! Can't go wrong with this amp!

Product Review This amp is perfect mid ground between a beginner solid state and tube amp. Im not a professional musician so I could not justify spending the amount on a tube amp with the family. Paired up with the 2x12 cab with a set of vintage 30's and your ready to rock!

Product Review First off, this is a solid state head, so don't expect natural tube breakup. However, this unit boasts amazing tone! Think of best soundind dirt pedal you've ever heard and double the quality; more on that later. The clean channel is one of the best I've ever worked with. It makes an excellent pedal platform and even sounds great by itself. The dirt channel only gets better as the volume goes up, but you would not be considering such a loud amp if you were planning to simply play at low volumes, there's better suited low wattage amps for that. As the volume goes up, the amp shines with a massive wall of sound, at it plays very nice with boost and drive pedals. The best part is not dealing with finicky tubes and load issues. If you want a workhorse studio or gigging amp, look no further. This is truly the best option in the $500 range.

Product Review This head is the best sounding head for any type of music you want to play. It is versatile and it sounds awesome from the dirtiest distortion to the cleanest and at a great price. I have not used my tube head since I received my orange and don't see me going back for a while.

Spend months looking a good classic rock amp

Product Review Hello spend the last several months looking for a good amp i play a lot of classic rock you would think that wouldn't be such a great task but it was, after several tube amps later, i found one that does what it says it will do "just Rock" Big thanks to American Musical Supply for being so penitent they took back the ones i tried out and didn't like with not as much as a word. This amp is just what you like it to do starts out clean and slowly adds gain making it a great pedal platform, the dirty channel is just the perfect 80's rock sound cant say enough about this amp just awesome Thanks so much Michael

Product Review I know a few guys that swear by Orange Crush so I wanted to give it a try. I got to say that the sound I get for the price is incredible. A fairly straightforward amp that delivers that clean sound I'm looking for. I play an Eric Johnson Strat through it and it seems like it was made for it.

Best Solid State Amp On The Market

Product Review This amp is a beast. Orange has outdone themselves. The CR120 crushes every amp in it's price range and quite a few above it's price range. I paired mine with a Randall 412 cab and could not be happier. Highly recommend this amp to anyone in the market for new gear.

Product Review Playing at bedroom volumes the dirty channel is kind of fizzy. When you open it up this beast really sings and has that Orange sound I get from my OR. This amp hands down is the best sounding solid state I've heard. This is analog, so don't go and compare it to some shitty digital amp because its, apples and Oranges.

Product Review Not a bad amp for under $500. Decent clean tones and the distortion isn't too heavy. The reverb sounds cool and being that it's 100 watt, it can get loud!

Product Review I first played an OR15 and got hooked to the Orange tone. After watching a number of Youtube demo's I purchased it and play it through an Orange 212 cabinet. Great Orange tone, responsive to picking attack and accepts pedals well. I have since also purchased the Orange 35LDX amp for both practice and rehearsals. Music styles- pop, blues, jazz. Guitars- Tele, Strat, Gretch Nashville & Ibanez AS83. All sound great for what I do with that Orange vibe.

Product Review I play in a metal band. I was looking for a reasonably priced amp to replace my Line 6 Spider 3, and this amp does not cut it. I've had it for a week and the more I tweak it the more I realize I made a mistake by purchasing it. There is literally nothing I can do to add color or richness to the tone of this amp. It is bland, dull, and boxy no matter how you adjust the knobs or what kind of pedals/etc you add.

Your general opinion of this product. First Orange product that I have ever purchased and I have known about Orange for a while now. I played the OR15 at a local music store but it had the orange covering. I did some looking on the web and found out that they were available in the black tolex covering also. I ordered the CR120H, without ever playing through it, based on the quality and sound of the OR15 and even though it wasn't tube, I was very impressed. Global master volume and reverb controls, separate volume and eq. controls for each channel plus effect loop option. Switches feel solid, tough metal amp chassis, knobs and jacks feel tight and solid - NO looseness. 3 different built reverb settings via the 3 way mini toggle switch and NO headphone jack on this one, which can't short out and cause your speaker to cut in and out, which was a common problem that I had on another companies amp that had a poor quality 1/8" jack. I see why Orange waited to get on the solid state amp wagon - They wanted to do it right. Yes, but have only had it a short time. Looks like it will last for years to come. N/A Impressive cleans and tubelike dirty channel. N/A Good quality Fit and Finish. Time will tell. No problems so far and have had it about a month now.
