Gearank Recommended

The Crush 20 appeared on our recommended list for Solid State Guitar Amps from May 2019 until July 2021 when it was removed due to being out-ranked by other amps.

It also appeared on our Guitar Amps Under $200 list in June 2019 and it has remained there ever since.

Overview

While Orange amps do offer amp modelers, the company's line of streamlined solid state amps continue to rate significantly higher. One of which is the Orange Crush 20, a combo amp with 20W of power and a single 8" speaker packed in a combo package that's distinctively Orange.

But it's not just about looking the part, because this amp is well received for sounding like its premium counterparts, thanks to its solid state 4-stage preamp.

With an optional footswitch, this compact amp lets you between clean and dirty.

It also comes with a 3-band EQ for basic tone shaping, along with a gain knob and dedicated volume knobs for each channel.

And it comes with Orange' CabSim circuit, which emulates a 4x12" cabinet when using the amp's line/headphone output.

With its killer looks and tone, this wallet-friendly solid state amp will make a great addition to your gear.
