Overview

In this era where amp modeling has become the norm, it is quite a feat for a traditional amplifier like the Crush 20RT to not only survive, but thrive.

This is similar to the Crush 20, carrying the same multi-stage preamp that gives it tube-like overdrive, but with the addition of a built-in Reverb.

This makes the amp sound good even in dead rooms (with no echo), and more importantly it helps improve the amp's lack-luster clean tone.

It also comes with a built-in tuner, which can be handy when you can't be bothered to get a clip-on or pedal tuner while practicing.

It sports an old school design with distinct picture frame aesthetics that matches its in-your-face overdriven tones, and it comes in Orange as pictured as well as Black.

This stylish rock guitar amp makes for a simple yet inspiring practice option, a compact amp that brings about the Orange sound that inspired iconic artists including Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Slip Knot's Jim Root, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Oasis' Noel Gallagher and many more.
