@@mwbrada I now own one of these amps and they really do sound good in real life and are super versatile. Honestly you can't tell the difference and they take pedals so well, the clean channel is pretty much built for distortion(I'm assuming you're after that tight Dime sound). I run a cheap clean boost and a 10 band eq infront of it and you can pretty much achieve most of the sounds you want from jazz to metal, it really is an amazing amp for the price.

Are you using IR on the line out or adding an IR on the cab sim? I would prefer the Di. to be pre mastervol. it makes much more practical sense in a live setting, i.e. you can turn the amp down, check the monitor sounds, and then adjust the mastervol to taste, to fit the room. FWIW

For silent recording, I have tested 3 different configurations: • DI Out • Effect Loop Send • Speaker Output to CaptorX I use an IR in all 3 cases. The CabSim speaker emulation on the DI Out is just frequency filtering so it still requires an IR as it does not sound good without one. There are two different filter options, but unfortunately there is no option to disable the filtering.

Not knocking the head, It has a lot of road wear on it. A lot miles in the van. Either way its been in the shop three times since April(still not completely fixed) and I just can't trust taking it out on the road anymore. Def bitter sweet. I'm going out on a small tour in October so I decided to get something brand new, reliable and tubeless for once. I'm a bit nervous about it. But for the money, and 30 day trial I couldn't resist. Plus I've yet to find a truly bad review. Seeing this video with the designer just made me feel that much more confident in my purchase. I'll give a full update.

The clean is great too, but my MosFET was a bit sweeter (it could be scooped) like the Pro 120. It had the advantage of a mid control. Maybe I need to get the Crush Pro 120 and an A/B box. (PS… Little tip… It loves a Dyna Comp with the level high and the compression almost off into a medium gain for solos)

Thank you Ade! While the CR120 was a great amp? I personally couldn't gel with the one I briefly had. I discovered later that it either didn't get on with the 100 year old American wiring in the house I was in, or it just may had been an unfortunate "dud', as it hated my pedals, and would clip in the bad way. I'm super stoked with the choice to go with Jfets this go round, as this new Super Crush will most definitely now vibe with boost and OD pedal more convincingly because as a result, and the other decision to power it with the Class A/B Pedal Baby circuit means it will also provide a more convincing tone and impedance compared to the modern Class D offerings flooding the market. All in all? I think you got yourself the makings of a true "winner winner chicken dinner" on your hands mate! Hats off to you once more! Cheers from the North East USA dude!

I think a lot of people try it out and try and use it like any other amp, or through the wrong speakers, and end up not liking it. I mean I did the same thing, I'm on my second CR120 now lol But once I kinda learned its quirks and how to set it right I've fallen in love. It's not like my favorite amp ever and I wouldn't use it in the studio, but for a cheap reliable live amp it's great. I will say they really don't take their sound until they're at band volume; I rarely play mine at home (I'll just use an amp sim instead) because they're too fizzy and thin sounding at low volume. But when you crank them up through some vintage 30's they're a different amp... Like, my band plays mostly Jimmy Eat World type-stuff, lower gain, and it does that great (the trick is less gain than you think you need and just play harder, once you go past like 1o'clock it's too much gain for anything almost), but it also is ferocious for most kinds of metal when you turn it up. Turned up with the right boost pedal in front it's brutal. And yet, if I don't want the orange sound I've been able to go through the clean channel (channel volume very low to stay clean and master up to compensate) and use it as a pedal platform and it does that great too. IDK I'm rambling, but yeah I can totally see why a lot of people (myself included) sleep on them- you just have to know how to work with it

You wanna know which amp I had before all those amps and which one I still have and love? My CR120 crush. I sold every other amp except my Crush bass combo and my Cr120 head. Literally sounds exactly like a valve amp to me and takes all my pedals so well. The natural gain on it is exactly what I need and it dials in an amazing tone I use for jazz. Half the time I don’t use pedals because the amp has everything already. I love that amp to death, you must have got a dud.

Not only does it sound amazing on it's own, and seriously look the part to the nines, but it's power section design is literally just the existing Pedal Baby Class A/B circuit. So hypothetically, by incorporating any modeler with an FX loop, or even better a Victory Amps Kraken preamp via the Four Cable Method?! The sky is basically the limit and I bet it would not only sound ACE AF, but would be a tank built touring rig at a fraction of the more typical investments!

Late comment, but EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO AND EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT AMP!! I purchased this Amp before I saw this video and Sir, YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY!!! IM SO GLAD YOU WORK WITH ORANGE!! It's by far, I mean FAR, the best solid-state Amp period! A Boss Katana is very, very good and has lots of their effect technology put into it, but as for SOUND, it's NOT comparable! Hell, I use boss pettles with your Amp. But as far as the comparability to VALVE AMPS, THE ORANGE CRUSHED IT! The distortion is so Fricking good and easy to set its nuts!! For $500.00 US? Unless you can make a better one, this IS!!.......

The Super Crush is finally making me sell my D class pedal platforms & Tech 21 style amps in a box. I liked the Pro but it was opamp based & obviously so. Dark, kinda flubby bass, felt more of a one trick pony, and more like a "pedal" on the gain channel. Good, not what I felt an amp should be. This thing was smile inducing from the first chord, and I'm buying one before they end up some collector's item or a victim of supply chain shenanigans. Tbh it's an amp that should've been built 30 years ago. All the tone none of the tubes (or 1s and 0s!). By a company not scared us cheapskates will stop not buying Rockerverbs!

sounds very good on this clip as you would expect i'll be sure to give one a go if i see one in a shop anytime soon. I always get bummed out by channel switching drop outs on a lot of amplifiers it seems a lot of designs aren't really up to what they should be due to the way relays are built into the circuits. they have dropout or have some kind of delay between clean and dirty. i found hughes and kettner, peavey VK and jet city/soldano designed to work really well in the channel switching no doubt borrowing dumble ideas as soldano holds his hands up to by all accounts. as in instant switch when you hit the footswitch. can't say i have tried a rockerverb or other orange amps with this in mind. the marshall DSL such a cool sounding amp but the switching was awful. enjoy your amps guys whatever they may be.

Are you using IR on the line out or adding an IR on the cab sim? I would prefer the Di. to be pre mastervol. it makes much more practical sense in a live setting, i.e. you can turn the amp down, check the monitor sounds, and then adjust the mastervol to taste, to fit the room. FWIW

For silent recording, I have tested 3 different configurations: • DI Out • Effect Loop Send • Speaker Output to CaptorX I use an IR in all 3 cases. The CabSim speaker emulation on the DI Out is just frequency filtering so it still requires an IR as it does not sound good without one. There are two different filter options, but unfortunately there is no option to disable the filtering.

Jfet is the real deal. I have this 80s fender solid state amplifier that is awesome! But the crunch channel is very difficult to get along with. I bought boutique jfet pedal, that was supposed to give a solid state fender that power amp punch of a blackface tube fender. So Instead of putting in front, I actually installed into the effects loop. Man! It took that god awful distortion and made it sound like heaven!! So an 80s fender opamp preamp going into a jfet pedal - and it improved 30X!

Either way its been in the shop three times since April(still not completely fixed) and I just can't trust taking it out on the road anymore. Def bitter sweet.

LOVING MINE! What an amp. Last time anybody did something remotely this awesome with solid state analog, it was the Marshall MosFET Lead 100. The Super-Crush is a much better gain channel. The clean is great too, but my MosFET was a bit sweeter (it could be scooped) like the Pro 120. It had the advantage of a mid control. Maybe I need to get the Crush Pro 120 and an A/B box. (PS… Little tip… It loves a Dyna Comp with the level high and the compression almost off into a medium gain for solos)
I just got my Super Crush 100 head, and it’s a sonic storm! This genuinely has to be the best solid state guitar amp ever built. It has all the signature Orange drive we all love and a glorious clean channel that has headroom for days! I wish for a PPC212V for the holidays. #WISHGRANTED

Thank you Ade! While the CR120 was a great amp? I personally couldn't gel with the one I briefly had. I discovered later that it either didn't get on with the 100 year old American wiring in the house I was in, or it just may had been an unfortunate "dud', as it hated my pedals, and would clip in the bad way. I'm super stoked with the choice to go with Jfets this go round, as this new Super Crush will most definitely now vibe with boost and OD pedal more convincingly because as a result, and the other decision to power it with the Class A/B Pedal Baby circuit means it will also provide a more convincing tone and impedance compared to the modern Class D offerings flooding the market. All in all? I think you got yourself the makings of a true "winner winner chicken dinner" on your hands mate! Hats off to you once more! Cheers from the North East USA dude!

I think a lot of people try it out and try and use it like any other amp, or through the wrong speakers, and end up not liking it. I mean I did the same thing, I'm on my second CR120 now lol But once I kinda learned its quirks and how to set it right I've fallen in love. It's not like my favorite amp ever and I wouldn't use it in the studio, but for a cheap reliable live amp it's great. I will say they really don't take their sound until they're at band volume; I rarely play mine at home (I'll just use an amp sim instead) because they're too fizzy and thin sounding at low volume. But when you crank them up through some vintage 30's they're a different amp... Like, my band plays mostly Jimmy Eat World type-stuff, lower gain, and it does that great (the trick is less gain than you think you need and just play harder, once you go past like 1o'clock it's too much gain for anything almost), but it also is ferocious for most kinds of metal when you turn it up. Turned up with the right boost pedal in front it's brutal. And yet, if I don't want the orange sound I've been able to go through the clean channel (channel volume very low to stay clean and master up to compensate) and use it as a pedal platform and it does that great too. IDK I'm rambling, but yeah I can totally see why a lot of people (myself included) sleep on them- you just have to know how to work with it

Not only does it sound amazing on it's own, and seriously look the part to the nines, but it's power section design is literally just the existing Pedal Baby Class A/B circuit. So hypothetically, by incorporating any modeler with an FX loop, or even better a Victory Amps Kraken preamp via the Four Cable Method?! The sky is basically the limit and I bet it would not only sound ACE AF, but would be a tank built touring rig at a fraction of the more typical investments! Honestly, just thinking about that scenario has got me seriously gassing pretty hard for one with a matching vertical 2x12 at the moment. Hahaha! Cheers man!
The new amp looks incredible, I just don't need it. Got a CR60 and swapped the stock speaker with a V30. Was swapping speakers worth the effort and price? Yes!

Yes!! Definitely it’s worth it! Cab, speakers, mic & mic placement makes way more impact to your tone than the head, tubes & pickup

I would go back and forth between the stock speaker in the CR60, and running it into a V30 loaded 4X12. I usually preferred the V30 setup, but I thought the Voice of the World still sounded killer!

8 or 16 ohm? Am I correct in thinking I can put an 8 ohm speaker in my pro 60 and it'll out out the full 60 watts?

Good choice seeing as Orange use v30 in their PPC112 cab.
I literally just bought this and for 500 bucks it sound good. Once plug my mxr 10band eq it changed everything
Although it's nice to save money, my decision for buying the CR 120h was strictly because I wanted more articulation and dependability. When I turn it on, I know it's going to sound the way I dialed it in previously and I don't have to wait a minute for it to warm up. A minute can seem like a lifetime when I've got an idea I'm dying to try. I don't want a tube amp! I love the CR 120 and it sounds like I'm going to like the Super Crush 100 even more..... especially with the cab sim! Nobody would be able to tell if I'm using solid state with the way I do have it dialed in.....I love it and I've gotten a lot of compliments on my sound with the CR 120h!
Well that explanation sold me on this amp
This is such a great video., having this amp's designer taking us through this amp's capabilities..there was a used one (combo) at GC at another store, so I picked it up...supposed to be in today. I haven't had a guitar amp in years...I have been using modelers to do my gigs (and depending on the gig, still will be using modeling), but in recording, I've just not been happy with modeler results...as well as playing out...I am going to experiment with this, putting it in the chain via the the cab simulator output...in the front, out the cab sim, using the send and return of the SY 1000) of what I am currently using as a modeler. (BOSS SY1000, which has models of amps, various modeled guitar tones, effects, etc)..hoping for great results...Thanks, Ade, and the folks at Orange for taking the time to do this overview.
Dave Simpson brought my here. He's great and turned me onto Orange l amplifier 😊
On my list for 2022! Great for pedals!
This sounds great, seems like a step up from the Crush 120, some of the Crush Pro dirty channel stetting seemed a little "muddy sounding" to me. I still love my Crush 120 Combo, but I think I'll need one of these some time
"It looks way more tarty", indeed it does. Sounds awesome as well
this dude rules.
Great blues amp
Already got one preordered
Very tempted by this although I would love orange to do a stereo version like the rocker 32, that would be awesome.
This guy makes me wanna buy this amp even though I don’t need it!🤣
I ordered one last week!
Oh, I'm getting this.
Proud owner of the Orange Crush Pro 120H , Super Crush 100 combo, Super Crush 100H. Next in my sites 212 Vertical cab and the Crush 412 cab.
For a solid state ok it is what it is better than some but not a tube. But Ade Emsley might be the coolest dude of all time!! He just looks like a rock n roller. Like he could have been in blue cheer or he could be in the sword, or even play in a band like earthles!
Thanks Ade - love your work
Thank goodness for CC
Late comment, but EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO AND EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT AMP!! I purchased this Amp before I saw this video and Sir, YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY!!! IM SO GLAD YOU WORK WITH ORANGE!! It's by far, I mean FAR, the best solid-state Amp period! A Boss Katana is very, very good and has lots of their effect technology put into it, but as for SOUND, it's NOT comparable! Hell, I use boss pettles with your Amp. But as far as the comparability to VALVE AMPS, THE ORANGE CRUSHED IT! The distortion is so Fricking good and easy to set its nuts!! For $500.00 US? Unless you can make a better one, this IS!!.......
Love this guy
"... and it looks way more tarty"? Is that what he said? LOL!

The Super Crush is finally making me sell my D class pedal platforms & Tech 21 style amps in a box. I liked the Pro but it was opamp based & obviously so. Dark, kinda flubby bass, felt more of a one trick pony, and more like a "pedal" on the gain channel. Good, not what I felt an amp should be. This thing was smile inducing from the first chord, and I'm buying one before they end up some collector's item or a victim of supply chain shenanigans. Tbh it's an amp that should've been built 30 years ago. All the tone none of the tubes (or 1s and 0s!). By a company not scared us cheapskates will stop not buying Rockerverbs!
Sounds great! I hope they do a 50watt version

@@edrowley1 you can run it into a PPC112 just don’t max out the master volume. You’d have to get very loud to blow the speaker and it’s unlikely you’ll be going over 60 watts in most situations. If there’s a problem you’ll hear it in the speaker clipping. If you’re a bedroom player you’ll be fine if you’re gigging you’ll have to be a bit more carful but I suspect the sound guy will be having words before you get close to blowing a speaker and the XLR on the back can be plugged into the board.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be my next amp 🤘👹🤘
his playing is reminiscent ov hendrix , love it ...
sounds very good on this clip as you would expect i'll be sure to give one a go if i see one in a shop anytime soon. I always get bummed out by channel switching drop outs on a lot of amplifiers it seems a lot of designs aren't really up to what they should be due to the way relays are built into the circuits. they have dropout or have some kind of delay between clean and dirty. i found hughes and kettner, peavey VK and jet city/soldano designed to work really well in the channel switching no doubt borrowing dumble ideas as soldano holds his hands up to by all accounts. as in instant switch when you hit the footswitch. can't say i have tried a rockerverb or other orange amps with this in mind. the marshall DSL such a cool sounding amp but the switching was awful. enjoy your amps guys whatever they may be. Mung.
Sounds great.
Sounds great!
Cool guitar
i wish there was a channel LED light so when you use a pedal to switch channel you have a visual indication on the amp as well
Sounds great. Had to laugh at having multiple fire extinguishers close by...
that pc under the desk makes me happy
Is that a tobacco pouch in his shirt pocket? Classic!
Would've been nice to have either an IR loader or an option to turn off the cab sim from the DI. The analogue cab sim just doesn't sound like a real cab

It seems the cab sim is still a raw signal but with two different EQ curve options to choose from. I’ve been rocking the closed back option with a Celestion G12H-150 Redback impulse response. Sounds killer! I also confirmed with Orange that it is safe to use without a load or speaker cab. Perfect for late night silent recording.
I can barely hear what he's saying because of the playing in the background.
Love the sounds of the amp, and the look. But please do tell us more about the one behind Adrian????
That sounds amazing, and I love tube amps. I think solid state can be its own thing
I heard that bit of “somebody get me a doctor”
I just wish it didn’t look like a PA head. I know and realize a full cabinet wasn’t needed especially since no tubes but it just looks funky.
