Well… I’m about to take delivery of one of these - specifically due to the sounds - especially for folk, country, jazz and blues; the heavy sounds might be fun but aren’t essential. I have noted the people rabbiting about the size of the speaker and calling it a toy… and while it’s never going to work well at Wembley…… it’s got enough grunt for home, jam sessions and small gigs and that’s all I’m ever likely to need. If I’m ever going to need a bigger sound, I’ll add a socket on the back for an extension cabinet - or feed the line-out into a big PA! Also - my new Cube Baby will give me external gain, chorus, flanger, delay, IR cabs… and yet more reverb - if I ever need them!
Really good review, no silly mindless shredding, you let us hear the amp tone with more simple playing, also showed full range of amp sounds, well done on good review, wish more were like this
Already have crush 35rt, nice valve like tones, also love how controlled knobs react to each other as you demonstrated, also impressed by phones out sound, all in all a simple good tone amp at a reasonable cost
Dude, TUNE UP, you're not done yet! 😂 Also, subscribed, because you told the truth about the EQ not having much range. I've seen too many reviews where the host pretends they hear a difference.
It's a great little amp, has alot of character, my partner has one and I have the 25watt orange bass amp. All we need for the lounge practice/jam, great fun 👍
Finally a good Amp review, that doesn't feel company driven advertisement. With real perspectives that are relevant!! You sir, are an artist! Love Your breakdown, and diligent time taken to hear each alteration. Best amp review I've watched thus far. The whole narrow range aspect You mention, and focussing across a smaller range, is one of the best descriptions I've ever heard on a tear down.. And does it need saying, absolutely beautiful sounds. Think You've just sold me this amp fella. Been a long deliberation, but 2022 will be fun once this is in my Arsenal. I love bang for the buck items. What I'm all about. Understated. Please keep up the good work. Massive thumbs up. From sunny NW UK ;)
@@FretSuccess Now been a proud owner of the Crush 20 RT for almost a month. Quite surprised me how good this little amp is. A lot of kick for your doller. Very unique sounding too. Very content customer here. :)
Thanks for the feedback Aniq. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment. I'd love to know more about what you found useful about this review if you have time. Hope the guitar playing is going good. Dan
Whats the differnce between Orange Crush 20L and this one tour reviewing. I seen a Orange Crush 20l for £40 is that good?? Or do you think its worthless?
@@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256 This amp has a particular sound to it. It has no effects built in apart from reverb. It's a good sounding amp for it's small size but has a raw amplifier sound to it. It wouldn't take acoustic particularly well but then most electric guitars amps (if not all) are not going to sound great with an acoustic. what budget do you have? That normally sets the range of amps you can buy. I love the orange sound but if you're after a more generalist amplifier with a variety of sounds then the Boss Katana is worth having a play through and dig into.
Yeah. It's a good little amp for the money. The reverb is pretty standard and does the job to give some ambience when required. Nothing fancy but gives you what you need if you want to open up the sound of your guitar
You mentioned the Fender Champion. Given that the champion is a digital amplifier vs the crush's analog circuits, Is the Orange 20rt better in terms of the sounds produced?
If you want a raw analog sound then the crush is for you. It has that mid range raunchy and face smashing experience. The fender champion is good also but a not softer and more jangle. Hope that helps.
Good question. You may get a bit of a wobbly sound if you're not careful with volume from the pedal, especially at low pitched notes and chords. It was pretty good at handling stuff I threw at it though
@@benedictabbu8315 that's great man. I find a tele is a good judge of an amp. They are fantasticly versatile guitars. Congrats on your new crush my friend. Thanks for stopping by in the comments!

Glad you liked the review. Appreciate the feedback. Are you looking to buy the amp?

@@user-vx4cx9bl8r nice. I expect the 35 has a bit more headroom and volume too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for subscribing. You'll get no bullshit here my friend
Have crush 35rt, valve like tone and response from controls, the way they react to each other, also the warm clean tones, good simple tone amp
That's a great perspective. I was really happy with the sound this little amp put out. Especially through the DI
It's a great little amp, has alot of character, my partner has one and I have the 25watt orange bass amp. All we need for the lounge practice/jam, great fun 👍
They are wonderful amps and a lit of fun. Thanks for the comment
Sold
Kerching!!!
Gosh telecaster sounds awesome with this amp
Indeed it does. But I'd argue that telecasters sound great with any amp haha
@@FretSuccess Do you think it is worth paying more for Orange 20 RT or just Orange 20 without reverb but with reverb pedal would be enough?
THANKS BRO!
Happy to help man!
Great review, thanks! 10:19
Thanks for watching!! What was special for the time stamp?
@@FretSuccess Sorry nothing, accidental!
@@robertsguitarsandgear haha. All good
I have one of these they are a great little amp and this a good review thanks
Thanks for stopping by. They are fantastic amps. What's your favorite thing about them?
not to complicated for a beginner great sound

@@muaddib3311 glad it all worked out for you!!
Very good review!
Thanks Steve. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for stopping by.
this is how you review an amp
Thanks for the feedback Aniq. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment. I'd love to know more about what you found useful about this review if you have time. Hope the guitar playing is going good. Dan
Just outstanding! But the earphone output needs a CabSim.
I agree, that would be a great touch. Hopefully they bring that to a future model. Glad you enjoyed the demo
Whats the differnce between Orange Crush 20L and this one tour reviewing. I seen a Orange Crush 20l for £40 is that good?? Or do you think its worthless?
I believe the only difference is that this one has a tuner and reverb built in. What are you planning on using the amp for?
@@FretSuccess In living room, back garden, I like the Rock 🤘 sound effects & clear Acustic Electric Guitar.
@@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256 This amp has a particular sound to it. It has no effects built in apart from reverb. It's a good sounding amp for it's small size but has a raw amplifier sound to it.

So the 20L is actually the first version of this amp. The 20 and 20RT are the updated versions. Go for the newer ones, it was upgraded for a reason.
@@MJPGuitar Thanks for adding this great insight!
This sound great.how the reverb on this model via reverb tc electronic?
Yeah. It's a good little amp for the money. The reverb is pretty standard and does the job to give some ambience when required. Nothing fancy but gives you what you need if you want to open up the sound of your guitar

Would the speaker be big enough to handle a loop pedal
Good question. You may get a bit of a wobbly sound if you're not careful with volume from the pedal, especially at low pitched notes and chords. It was pretty good at handling stuff I threw at it though
Very considerate to use it on a Tele..
Was that helpful?
@@FretSuccess yes sure...coz I only have one guitar and it's a cheap Tele...and my crush 20 will be arriving in a fews days..exciting stuff
@@benedictabbu8315 that's great man. I find a tele is a good judge of an amp. They are fantasticly versatile guitars. Congrats on your new crush my friend. Thanks for stopping by in the comments!
Would you say the 35RT is loud enough to use for pub gigs?
Every monkey's uncle is waking around with a mic and a PA system nowadays.
I have this amp and the champion 20. I must say the champion 20 lose on this one.
Appreciate the insight and recommendation!
It sounds boxy and cheap
It is in a small box and low in price. It's a great amp considering those things. It's not for everyone but is a fun amp to play with
The bigger sizes are very good those small ones record very well but the sound of the spkr is not good
