When it comes to warmth, volume and tone you'd be pushed to try and one-up Orange amplifiers. From their most expensive and exclusive models, down to their most affordable beginner ranges, Orange have a reputation for high-quality. With a fully analogue signal, "valve-like" sound production and the option for as much signal saturation as you could want.
Overview:
The Orange Crush 35RT builds on the tonal platform of the Crush 20 with the inclusion of lush onboard reverb and an integrated chromatic tuner, both great features to find on a practise amp. Like its more 'stripped down' sibling, the Crush 35RT features footswitchable Clean and Dirty channels plus high gain with a great overdriven and distorted sounds.
The sheer punch achieved through the Crush 35RT's custom 10" Voice of the World speaker is just great, with commanding delivery and depth of sound that belies amp's modest footprint. Complete with an Aux In for backing tracks and a CabSim-loaded headphone output, the Crush 35RT is the perfect portable practice amp combo with buckets of classic Orange mojo.
Orange's commitment to analogue amplifier circuitry in a digital age ensures Crush amps possess the lively feel and responsiveness that Orange is famous for, inspiring guitarists to play their instruments, not the technology. The Crush 35's highly effective 3 band EQ section allows for huge control over your sound, from bold vintage colours to scooped modern tones.
Building on the huge success of their Crush Pro series, the high gain preamp delivers everything from blissful cleans, to classic Bluesy Orange crunch all the way through to full-bodied, ultra-high gain Metal distortion. Clean and Dirty channels can be switched on the amp's top panel or remotely using the optional footswitch.
The headphone/line output includes Orange's CabSim which faithfully emulates the sound of a mic'd Orange 4×12 cabinet. Use your headphones for silent practice or connect to a mixer/recording console to capture Orange tones in the studio.
Based on a classic 'spring' type, the reverb in the Crush 'RT models is an all-new digital module with great tone. Ranging from a subtle shimmer to lengthy ethereal trails the circuit features an analogue 'dry through', ensuring your guitar's tone maintains its integrity as the reverb is blended in. The integrated chromatic tuner is accurate and fast-tracking for quick tune-ups between jams, no need to dig out your tuner pedal.
The Crush range features Orange's basket weave vinyl, woven speaker grille cloth, signature 'picture frame' edging and iconic hieroglyphs on the control panel.
