Orange Crush 30R

Two channels, or one chanel plus boost, footswitchable.

For the money, you would think it was a great deal ...

For under $200 it sounds very good.

Sorry. Blew up in the first 10 minutes I had it. And another one at the store from where it came had also fried. Chinese made. Watch out, these will just go dead, and it is not the fuse. Find a Korean made version and buy that!

It features reverb and an overdrive and your basic eq of bass,treble,middle,gain and volume. It has a footswitch input that doesn't like their only footswitch they make, as you will hear breakup while you play with it activated and the LED doesn't light up with it like it does with their tube amps.If you have really fast hands you can switch from clean to distortion from the grey clean/distortion switch one the amp itself.But the rest of the features are great! These by the way are Korean made, unlike their tube amps made in the UK.

I own a Gibson Goldtone GA30RVS, same kind eric johnson uses. This little cheap amp as much as a tube amp snob as I am hesitate to admit,is right up there with it. It's not as good, but pretty close. I have used it in gigs and at church seeing that my gibbie is so rediculously heavy and have had high compliments for the tone out of it. It has that Fender rich reverb, almost better actually. The overdrive on it is pretty limited, you can get that warm orange overdrive sound if you roll back the treble and mids. However, any other overdrive on it sounds like pure.... crap
I just use the tone of this amp which hopefully someday we'll all learn the oh so simple formula that you use an amp for tone and pedals for effects.Because you can pay alot for a marshall or something if you're a gainiac but instead buy a nice toned amp and with saved money invest in some analog pedals.
That's why I use pedals with this and never use it's built in overdrive, unless I want that "Switchfoot: ammunition song" sound.But then I gotta reset my eq because that will mess up your clean channel.Like I complained above I don't use the 42 dollar orange footswitch I bought with it now because it causes breakup. The LED light is really cool with tube amps but not with this one, it barely flashes. I play a Fender Nashville Tele, an Epiphone Les Paul Ultra, and a Gibson ES135 through it with a Blues driver,Jackhammer and h2o among other pedals and it sounds amazing with them, the tone on this is unbelievable for the price!I really like the reverb for playing blues on it too. It really is hard to tell the differance between a class A tube and this amp.Grab em' while you can, this is sure to be a collector's item if they should ever decide to discontinue them.

Amp has given me no problems except for not being very compatible with the orange footswitch.My friend has the same amp and it gives the same problem with the footswitch (but I know it's not the footswitch b/c it works with tube amps). The amp itself is very reliable and has never failed on me or anything. It's also so cheap that even if it died, with all the money I save on not buying tubes for an amp that sounds like it has em', I would replace this beautiful thing.

I haven't tried to contact them about the footswitch channel yet, I don't know if I would send my amp for repair should I ever need it given that the repair shops are in Atlanta or England b/c shipping would be a pain.

It really belongs up there with the best, if any brand name snob like me heard it without knowing that it's cheap and solid state, they would love it.It's also good if you got a heavy amp and you just want something to practice on or if you're back and forth to church or gigs and your arms hate you for your amp. Like I said though, this is a tone amp, not an amp for gainiacs unless you buy some pedals.I would definately buy one if lost or stolen. Buy them in case they go up in price, because once word gets around they'll be selling like hotcakes!

this amp is very versatile. i play every thing from blues to thrash
srv to slayer
two channel amp with channel switching. It has a line out with headphone jack, low and high input, overdrive pedal. I wish this had a speaker jack output. I use this amp for home use. This amp has plenty of power for having a 10 inch speaker. This is a solid state amp, as all of you might know.

Without any effects pedals you can hit killer blues to hard rock. With the right effects pedals you can move into the harder metal depending on taste. The clean channel stays very clean, slight overdrive at high volume, yes I said slight overdrive. Not Fizzy like most solid states. The distortion is perfect for the Texas blues to early Judas Priest. I am using a Fender 68 reissue strat,74 Univox Les Paul Copy,90's NJ BC Rich Warlock stock pickups,80 Les Paul Custom Dimarzio pickups, 06 Jackson Equipped with EMJ 81 and Seymour Duncans hot rails. This amp fits nicely into any music style. I haven't heard any unusual noises at any volumes so far.

Yes you can depend on this amp, it is built really well. If there was no other amp available I would feel about 85% sure it would hold up, but experience would tell you to never gig without a backup. Amp has not gave me a lick of problems. You would probably never use this amp live unless it was a small club or if it were miced

Haven't dealt with the company yet, really don't expect too.

I've been playing for 22 years. I own vintage Fender Amps,Supro Amp,Crate BV 60, and a Fender Hot Rod Amp. If this was to be stolen I would definately run out and buy another. For the price this is definately the hottest amp I have played on in years. Love the color,love the sounds, dislike the grill cloth(kinda cheesy). I didn't compare this amp, didn't even try it out, read some of the reviews from some of you seasoned guitar players, not the kids who have been playing for 3 years,brought it home, fired it up and started jamming.Sometimes it's nice to get off the big amps and just listen to pure tone out of a 10 inch 30 watt speakered amp. For a solid state(which I am a 100%tube man)I fell in love with this little amp and it's tube like characteristics. You will not be dissapointed.
