Orange Super Crush 100 100-Watt Solid State 1×12 Combo
Building on the huge success of the Crush Pro solid-state amplifiers, the Super Crush 100 combo takes this now-classic recipe and goes a step further in the search for valve-like tone. Though equipped with all the same features as the original amp, the Super Crush 100 is a completely new design, proving that a lot of small improvements can make a big difference—and there’s a CabSim balanced output too! With its single-ended, two-channel JFET preamp design and 100 W Class A/B power amp, the Super Crush 100 mimics the huge, rich and responsive tone of our flagship Rockerverb amps in solid state. From clean to heavy high gain, there’s no shortage of Orange mojo. Touch-sensitive dynamics and lush harmonic overtones sing out of this amp with such authority and musicality that you’d swear there were valves inside! This compact 1×12 combo boasts a Celestion G12K-150 speaker, making sure your tone leaves a big impression on the audience—but a tiny footprint on the stage.
Two completely independent, all-analogue preamp channels give you instant access to a whole spectrum of warm, valve-like tones. From high-headroom clean to high-gain metal, every sound you could ever need is dialled in with ease, thanks to a versatile circuit and intuitively simple control layout. The Dirty channel boasts four cascading stages of proper Orange gain, along with a passive three-band EQ. Just like its all-valve stablemates, the Super Crush 100’s Dirty channel can hammer out punishing heavy tones and also clean right up, whether you’re riding the guitar’s volume knob or the amp’s wide-ranging gain control. The Clean channel is a bright, vintage-flavoured, two-stage design. There’s plenty of headroom, keeping your clean tones shimmering and clear at any level, with the option of cranking the volume up into fat, bluesy crunch.
An on-board digital reverb module provides a lush, spring-reverb ambience, adding a deep and shimmering finishing touch to your sound. Prefer your own pedals? The fully-buffered, ultra-transparent, series effects loop takes care of all your effects needs, accommodating even the most outlandish signal chains without ever compromising your carefully crafted tone.
Solid state doesn’t have to be lifeless. We’ve proven that before with our Crush Pro range and they’re proving it all over again here. The Super Crush 100 uses the tried and tested 100 W Class A/B power amp from our Pedal Baby 100 to deliver all the dynamics, presence and feel of a big valve amp. Filling big stages is not a problem thanks to massive headroom, fantastic articulation and relentless punch.
