Orange Crush Bass 25W Bass Guitar Combo Amp, Orange

Product Information

At the heart of the Crush Bass 100 is its 100 Watt output stage. Using discrete circuitry, rather than ICs (integrated circuits) ensures a purer and even more forceful delivery with outstanding clarity and definition. The Crush Bass 100 houses a 15” speaker with a reflex port for improved low end response. The buffered effects loop has been engineered for maximum transparency, ensuring your pedal arsenal will perform at its peak. BALANCED OUTPUT, CABSIM HEADPHONE OUTPUT, AUX INPUT & CHROMATIC TUNER Taking elements from our flagship 4 Stroke and OB1 series bass amps, and with enough power for smaller venues, the Crush Bass 100 is a seriously versatile combo in both sound and application. Using high-end engineering techniques not usually found on combos of this type, the key to the Crush Bass 100’s immensely fat and detailed tone is the amplifier’s 100 Watt output section. The choice of discrete components (rather than common integrated circuits) gives the amp sensational levels of clarity across the entire spectrum, and the internal 15” speaker means that even the most subterranean frequencies come through loud and clear.

Hot on the tails of the wildly successful Katana guitar amps, effects and all-round guitar technology wizards Boss finally treated us to the highly anticipated bass Katana. Connectivity options are also worth considering. An XLR output for a DI is commonplace on bass amps, which is especially useful for hooking up to a PA system. You might also find auxiliary inputs for playing your external music devices through your amp, line outputs for sending the signal elsewhere, or maybe even a USB output for direct recording. How we choose productsThey also pioneered the lunchbox amp head with the Tiny Terror – putting a powerful tube amp in an easy-to-transport chassis and changing the way gigging guitarists thought about their rig.

If you’re on the lookout for the best bass amp, then you’ll want to carefully consider a few things to make sure you get the most out of your money. After all, what’s right for someone wanting to play huge gigs probably isn’t right for someone else wanting something compact for home practice. What wattage is what? And though transistor amps were starting to take over at the time, Cliff was insistent on making the best possible valve amp of the time. With the orange material used to cover the amps they became instantly recognisable and became an overnight success when the likes of Peter Green combined his Les Paul with the juicy goodness of an Orange amp. These were some of the most remarkable guitar sounds of the late sixties.

Orange Amps began in 1968 in a dingy basement shop in Old Compton Street in London, founded by Cliff Cooper who's still at the helm today.
