  • I always thought tube amps sounded better than solid state…..retired a 59 Bassman for this amp. Great cleans!

  • Cool man I’m gonna buy this amp. I played thru it once we rented it for our first ever gig. I didn’t know anything at the time , 6 years later I can really appreciate it now

  • Did you know that they invented a little thing called guitar pedal to emulate the warmth of the valves? And they cost less than $1000 in general.

  • Hallo guys! Do you think a Gold Alnico 12" 15 ohm 50W would fit into the CR60? I talk about the size (alnicos are slightly bigger than ceramic speakers) and about the watts and impendence. Thanks in advance!

  • I just got this amp used for 250 dollars, online, the seller bought it 3 months ago, brand new, and when i picked it up it looked like something right off the Assembly line,it sells new for about 600 plus tax, plus shipping,so i think I saved about 425 dollars, but in my opinion,Orange could lower the price of these solid state 60 combo amps a bit, mabe to like 450 new,they dont give you a footswitch, which will cost another 40 dollars and their made in china, plus they weigh in at about 45 pounds, and to be honest? My little orange micro terror 20 watt 1 pre amp tube lunch box sounds way better than the overdrive channel on the solid state state crush 60, so even tho i got my orange crush pro 60 for a steal? Orange needs to lower the prices of these amps by 200 dollars..New

  • I played through one of these today at Guitar Center only because all the tube amps were unplugged. Great, I gotta play my Strat through a solid state amp. Man, what a surprise! Warm, fat tone! I’ve always been a “tube guy” but this amp just might convert me.

  • This is a testament to tone being 95% of the guitar players’ fingers. Every once in a while the Tele twang comes out, but with eyes closed it’s hard to tell what you’re playing. Good review and great playing.

  • Hello! Do you think this amp would be better if it had a middle tone knob in the clean channel or it would not make a big difference if it did?

  • Oh! That opening tone is just perfect. I decided to buy a used one just so I can have a "real" little amp in my studio to practice and experiment. Using plugins is fun, but continuously managing a computer when I just want to do a little jam is really annoying. This should be fun. Looked at more expensive tube amps, Fender, Marshall, etc. But with the tube crisis happening, I can't justify the cost & management on the long run. I was really surprised with the tone. Tried a Fender Tone Master side by side, and it just sounded dead compared to a tube blackface. Then, I tried this one, and I was amazed at the tone for the price of the CR60C. Bang for the buck is just insane. Especially when used. Cheers. Great video.

  • So… I played back in my late teens and haven't touched a guitar in years……. So my Lovely wife in all her infinite wisdom for my birthday bought me a MINT like new PRS SE Custom in sunburst… It's gorgeous… So I am now looking for a decent amp….. This looks like it will do the trick…? Thanks for the review and showing the diversity of tones you were able to get out of it..

  • I am a working musician in the Tampa Bay area and bought this amp about a month ago . I have used on 4 gigs (2 outside) and have had 0 issues. Mine says pro on it which I think comes with the newer models. Yes it will keep up with a drummer no problem..Great video

  • Excellent chops man – these demo vids are so much better when the person demo-ing can actually play and show you the wide spectrum of possibilities – i'm sold – think i'll get one of these instead of another Marshall tube amp money pit. My last Marshall was in the shop so many times that i eventually paid more money for repairs than I initially paid for the amp.

  • Great demo young man! Possibly the best I have seen on this particular amplifier. I'm an old guy that has been a player for many years , and I know a player when I see one. And you young man are one. God bless! Stay safe and healthy! And keep on rocking!

  • thanks for this in depth review. was looking for an affordable and durable Orange tone that would work and sound just as well mic'd to the PA as it does sitting in the living room. buying one of these on black friday 2020. also going with the black amp box instead of traditional orange color. offset the lacquer and tweeds I've already got.

  • Picked this amp up last week and I couldn't be happier. Initially I was going to get the Rocker 15 Combo, but with covid supply has become an issue and I would be waiting another month at least to try out the Rocker. The Crush Pro 60 was available, and sounded awesome when I played it. I preferred it to the Marshall Origin, and the Blackstar HTII that I tried out – both valve amps. Like Daniel, I probably will get another amp in addition to this in good time – but will probably go for a head and 2×12, likely the Rockerverb MKIII.

  • Excellent review. I've been using the 120 for 6 years now straight. It replaced all my tube amps. I just own two crush pros now for all the reasons you mentioned.
