All user reviews for the Orange Micro Crush

This is a 3W Amp
Transistor
A volume
A tone
A switch to activate the overdrive
A built-in tuner

UTILIZATION

Everything is discovered alone with this amp. You get a clean sound but will quickly tend to cruncher (3Watts require). And it was also an overdrive.
Playing between Tone and Volume, it is easy to have good sound.

SOUNDS

So, first of all, this is not the kind of amp is used to do the Stade de France, to repeat in a group or to sign his unique sound, it's still the gadget. Finally yes and no!
Yields very pleasant sounds, from clean to crunch a background, we can increase by increasing the volume of the box.
If AC is not enough, then engage the overdrive button and there you go. The amp delivers an overdrive / crunch that has character and a grain! We can play good dirty blues, and go up sounds kind ZZ TOP. Really it's the taff.

I repeat this is not an amp for THE sound. But to play on the couch or something or it's really fun and very correct!

The amp has a tuner integrated LED easy to use and very fair! What more.

OVERALL OPINION

I used other for almost a year, and it goes well in addition to my other amps. I will never resell! Its look is fabulous, and the sound too.
I tried the Marshall MS-2 as well. It is plastic ... Hollow and more. While the Orange MICRO CRUSH is wood! With Alu panel beautifully. Truly the best portable amp I've tried!

I repeat that choice a hundred times yes. If tomorrow it breaks, I will redeem one immediately,

Simple little amp transistor 3watt with integrated tuner. One volume, one tone with switch for overdrive. In short, to complete however this amp is intended.

UTILIZATION

Should blame for not understanding the use of this little orange!

SOUNDS

The surprise is the right of this amp, the sound is quite usable! Not the sound card of concurrency (thank you wood), the overdrive is correct and there have a real clear sound (with a strat)

OVERALL OPINION

Very glad that this thing can be trimbale carefree (enter my cover has 20euros), this amp is useful for playing outdoors or on the go. For the price, it is a beautiful object that is what is expected.

2 or 3 watts amp I do not know ... transistor, 2 channels!
no effect, tuner
search the net for technical data!

UTILIZATION

two buttons, two channels and a tuner ... the Quick and Easy!

SOUNDS

spend his time explaining a subjective opinion with words to the con, not easy ...
... but I love the sound of this box!
clear, light crunch and saturated (which pulls the fuzz still attention) ... for the price it is nikel!
attention is a mini box, ideal for travel, not a stage amp!!
battery operated or with power supply!
a note: I take good zoom G3!

OVERALL OPINION

I month, I use on the road or sometimes in the living room of the apartment!
I did not try another "mini amp", but it suits me!

great design and color, I fererais this choice

shame not to have the power supply with the thing.

Small amp battery that can run on 9 volt adapter.

Small built-in tuner, a tone, one volume. A button clean / drive a headphone. Off button.

3 watts.

Battery cover easy access in the amp.

UTILIZATION

Easier to use would be difficult. You plug the guitar is pressing the power button it makes the level and adjusting the volume and the tone and is ready to play.
Pressing the button activates the tuner tuner that indicates the note by LED and accuracy by three other LED.

SOUNDS

The clean crunch and drive very quickly sounds very aggressive with a distal muscular.


The size of the device obviously limits its ability to lower that are non-existent, however the sound is very decent for the size, impossible to have a real clean clean but this is rarely the case with orange.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month, and I have other amps battery. This one with its wood and metal shell is heavier than average.
The tuner is a real plus to take him on a trip. It will not fit in a guitar case.

For the price this is a proper amp given its size unlike the marshall and Fender I own, it's true that plastic does not sound despite the lack of bass.

The micro crush is a min-amp with an output of a single watt.
It has an input jack and a headphone minijack (which cuts out the speaker when connected).
It runs on 9V battery or AC adapter.
It also features a convenient built-in tuner on the go.
The settings are very simple: Volume and Tone and switch to the overdrive.

UTILIZATION

Well of course it's more than easy to use. A footswitch input could be useful for the overdrive.

SOUNDS

The sound has obviously nothing to do with the amps of the brand, here we only look, this model is a toy. The clean sound is pretty nice for a "small" sound (I love the guitar lines to light, with my Fender Telecaster is a bit nasal, I like). Do not push the volume so the sound is clear, if it's a fair bit on the speaker, the headphone output on the other hand offers a good level. The overdrive is totally awful, the sound becomes incomprehensible, but I love it unusable because it can easily (and without disturbing the neighbors) have fun playing on Larsen and just for that I spend hours on this little gadget!

OVERALL OPINION

Well of course, is a toy. I am a fan because it is very beautiful, I use it almost every night: I used to notepad. Occasionally, I record with for a lo-fi sound.
It is in the same price range as its competitors, I do not think it is one model which we can say it sounds like hell! But it offers a new range of sounds for hard and allows me to play at any time. It remains, in my opinion, a fetish object: you look in mind for the family ....

[/ B] Mini amp transistor. Some say the "3" in the console means 3 watts. Personally, I would say 1 watt. A speaker 4 "with a jack to plug in his guitar prfre, a button" tone "and" volume ", a push button" overdrive ", another" power "and a troisime" tuner. "Indeed, in Orange, they even pens a tuner Intgr Derrire the BTE, a headphone jack and a 9-volt outlet. It also runs on 9v battery. Really simple use it as a ceremonial toy. Error! L o some brands offer the same amp gauge plastic, the micro crush is wooden and has a rear plate in tle . It was really the mouth of Orange amps and smaller. BMOL A when the tuner for even me parat not just trs. So I put that 8

UTILIZATION

For configuration, it is very simple. Note that when used with a 9v battery, in addition to activating the "Power" button, you also plug the guitar. It was especially for distracted that they forget to dye amplifier having APRS jou.

It gets its own sound by playing with the "tone". I prfre clean sounds.

No manual in the bote.

SOUNDS

In his clear, the sound is enjoyable to play arpges, funky arrangements, etc ... but you should let the noise level lower. more you push the volume, the sound gets in the crunch. It's the sound that is my rock. Playing on the "tone" sound you get more or less round.
In the saturated ae! Yet amateur big sounds, I found some of this dception ct-l. The sound is loud and you have to play again on the "tone" to get his drinking. The buttons pousss background, the sound is really dirty! One likes or dislikes. For metalheads, you will be due (DJ ORANGE is more to classic rock.)

Attention to the ears in a game with headphones! The sound is really aggressive.
Otherwise, it gets its propore its very easy. I jou a Epiphone SG, a Les Paul, a Fender Stratocaster, a Jackson PS4, an Ibanez SG 1978. The sound is great with Fender for a small bundle of joy like this amp. I vieu jou good 70's rock (ACDC, Led Zep, etc ...) and it is really patant in the register (the bottom two buttons in the light mode)
10/10 for clean sounds.
6.10 for the overdrive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week. Despite an aggressive overdrive is my favorite both for clean sounds / crunches. The tuner is useful. This amp can also be set bandoulire (strap not included).

VOX DA5 with a dj, a Legendary Pignose and a Danelectro Honeytone, I wanted to see what a micro crush was in the belly. I compared the costs with other small fender and Marshall amps and really I t sduit by ORANGE pocket.

The report qualitprix is ​​excellent!

With my 15 years of exprience in the guitar, I would do the same choice with eyes closed ... for clean sounds and crunch. This amp pushes me even look at me the most ORANGE MODELS Volusion to possibly replace my Peavey 100w.
Added 13/12/2007.

Shit! He lch! I jou in low volume clean sound with reverb branch between this amp and my guitar. The sound started to distort before the receiver renders the me! Do not care, it is still under warranty!

Mini amp, in fact a toy to look (trsrussi) ORANGE amps.
A toy, yes, but all the same dlivre good sound related
with its size and price.
His power is 3 watts, some would say a Watt, but there
no notice to the subject, no one really knows.
It's not serious trs, 1 or 3 watts, with a HP of 10 cm, these he
which sets the noise limit of the amp.
The look is trsrussi, and that's why we achte. The body (tray) is
wooden plaque in tle rear. A jack, a volume, tone and overdrive.
The small addition, a tuner possde Intgr very easy job.

UTILIZATION

To use this amp, it's simple, you plug the guitar and the sound is sought
that is to be mainly with the knob "tone".
It is clear in his meeting trs.
There is a small switch to turn on an overdrive. L do
not expect much, but ...
The noise level achieved and far from being ridiculous.

SOUNDS

Well not much to add on the sound quality of the object.
He fulfilled his rle amp "journey", by comparing a competitor
the same type (I do not know if I just quote) this amp orange
and the high-end amplifier of this type of
There the possibility of obtaining "sound".
This amp makes me want to immediately find the "real" orange amps.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for some months and I must use it regularly.
I do not regret this purchase.
It can be found around 69, which I think is correct.

T say everything on the subject.
The look is perfect (this is important it is on my bedside table and my significant other likes him ...).
For that price I could not see what more could you want in terms of connectivity and finishing
Unlike Previous notice the tuner is just on my own (without perfect pitch, I Verify

UTILIZATION

Ing not need to be sound, the Tone knob is very effective in finding a nice clean sound.
The overdrive is rotten, however, whatever the chosen rglage!
So I use my effects pedals on the clean channel.
I take off 2 points for the channel that drive m'riterait to be missing ...
A manual?

SOUNDS

This is an amp for work at home, it does it well I ask no more

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months
I love the size weight and the look that made me crack when I thought me a vox Amplug, much less sexy ...
If ever I loose the warranty APRS Rasht another without hsiter.

- What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
Transistor Combo

- What is the power delivered?
3w power that sound good

- What connection?
Guitar input jack of all that is mundane

- What are the settings, the effects? ...
One volume knob and one tone of increasing the well-crunch. There is also a button that activates the overdrive and another to activate the tuner (which is also specific enough on my model)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
Difficult to do more complicated with the possibility that the combo offers

- Gets it easy to sound good?
Yes enough overall. The overdrive imprecise for my taste but the clean is very nice. The crunch has a sound not bad at all, overall it's still enough vintage, love
EDIT after 3 weeks of daily use on vacation, I realize that you should always just tweak the knobs of the amp and guitar so the sound does not crack too. It's never much good but it's not completely plug n 'play anything ^ ^
It is true that the overdrive is not terrible. With headphones it goes but get tired very quickly for my taste. But there is still quite usable, I think it would be better with a pedal or two, to test ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
A manual? or that?

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
Sounds like "vintage" so I have used. For an amp of this size I'm really surprised. I have long played on a Roland Micro Cube but I never managed to find something I like it. I win with the Orange up and over it a sound that I like, what more?

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I first tested in the store with a Telecaster (yes I tested this amp before buying it ...) and I play at home with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus. Sometimes I add my big muff or my volume pedal.

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
With the tone at 0 and without the overdrive gives her a fairly clean (not totally, it already a little crunch). By pushing the dial tone is a bit of crunch and more. By activating the overdrive tone with less influence (one feels the difference but this is less convincing with the overdrive off)

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
For me it is without the overdrive with tone and volume at 9 o'clock, it suits me perfectly

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Yesterday after noon (I hope it will continue to please me over time ...)

- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love the look, very vintage and very flashy typed (yes we like it or not I like it). I also like the different sounds an amp of this size can offer. I fear it is for against a little too "toy" and it does not take time. But it will be seen
EDIT: I went on vacation with no worries, he has taken the trip and always sounds the same. It is against by not very plug n 'play, he still has a small adjustment to make before playing, but nothing too serious it can be done very quickly

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Only the Mini Marshall double body. I found it too children's toy, while plastic, which vibrates with the sound a little pushed too hard.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Well when we see that for fifty euros was a Marshall plastoc and € 6 for more on Orange has an all wood and metal, right now the price / quality ratio is good. € 56 after the mini amp it sounds a bit expensive but we must recognize that it's very convenient.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes without hesitation (although for the moment I do not have much experience with ptite boiboite orange)
EDIT: one month later I'm still convinced!
RE EDIT: I've been 5 months now he still works as well! I even used once again, and I managed to play and be heard despite the battery. Like what are this small in the belly! I also noticed that the sound is a little better with microphones are simple (the other gratteu my group played on a squier stratocaster and it sounds pretty good, but with my Tokai increase in P90, that's all simply awesome, much better than the humbuckers in my Epiphone)

If you are bored at work and need to get some cooling down time with a guitar and amp in hand but limited in space and noise, then this is a nice amp for you. This is a great little practice pocket amp for those who are in need of some jam time and need to be quiet or on a tight budget.

SOUNDS

The tone from something this small is quite amazing! It actually replicates a very close tone to a real tube Orange amp. It is obvious that the tone will be different but the character of that famous orange British tone is all there in a small package.

It doesn't matter what guitar you are playing with this amp. You are intending to quietly jam away in piece. So grab what ever guitar is your favorite and jam along with a pair of headphones. The amp will not take away from your guitar's natural tone.

OVERALL OPINION

Another great feature I love about this amp is that it has a tuner built right in. So all you really need to carry with you is your guitar and or headphones and a cable. This makes jamming in your home or office a lot more convenient.

At new these amps come in at around $60, which is a fantastic price for something this basic and portable. It carries a strong tone for those worried about how good it can sound. I highly recommend this amp for the silent player at home or office.

This is the type of amp that you hang on your bet buckle and walk around the room jamming. This is about the size of a cell phone and has mini speaker in it with surprisingly two channels. The is for the person who wants to hide from his boss in his office and still be able to practice away without being disturbed.

The sound in this pocket amp isn't great but that really is only secondary to the purpose of it. There is a huge market for these little pocket amp for people to use sitting back in their chair chilling out playing. Marshall, Vox, and Fender have all contributed to the trend of pocket amps for practicing.

UTILIZATION

There is only two knobs that control the sound of the amp. It has a volume and tone a channel select and a head phone out for silent usage. It even has a built in tuner for tuning on the go.

Orange Micro Crush Quick Specs:

* Channel Configuration: Clean / Overdrive
* Speaker: 4" Orange Design
* Controls: Volume / Tone
* Features: Integrated Tuner
* Headphone Out: Yes
* Construction: Metal Chassis / Wood Case
* Power Supply:9 Volt Battery (CR3PWR

SOUNDS

The sound is cool since it has two channels of clean and gain. It isn't going to sound like your Orange AD30 or anything but it looks like an Orange amp and it hangs on your belt nicely.

With only two knobs just turn the gain all the way up and the volume as desired. That is pretty basic as it gets.

Try it with any guitar that you have. There really is no right or wrong or better sounding options here. They are all going to sound pretty much the same. Again this is not quality tone we are talking about....we are talking about practicing with a pocket amp. You probably won't hate this thing if you just going for the easy of lounge jamming.

OVERALL OPINION

This thing is fun and that is really all there is to say about it. Not going to be a main amp for gigs or anything like that. Just sitting at home or at the office plucking away from boredom.

I would recommend this to anyone bored at work and has their own office. It does have a headphone jack so it can be silent. Just close the door grab your guitar and headphones and kill some time. Don't take it too seriously. They are priced at $60 and that is pretty fair for what it is going to go you.

The Orange Amps Micro Crush is a mini guitar amplifier that is designed for practicing on the go. The amp delivers just three watts of power and has a really small speaker obviously, although I'm not sure what size exactly. There aren't too many characteristics here to discuss since it's such a small amp, but it does have a built in tuner which is really cool. It also has just a single 1/4" input...

UTILIZATION

Even if the Orange Amps Micro Crush is your first amp, everything on here is super easy to use. It's got knobs for volume and tone, as well as a button for built in overdrive. It also has a built in tuner with LED lights that show you the note you're tuning to and how far off you are. The amp is definitely easy enough to use where a manual isn't needed.

SOUNDS

To date I've only used the Orange Amps Micro Crush for messing around and practicing, but would definitely like to try it for recording in the future. Little amps like this can sometimes give a big kick in terms of sound in the studio when mic'd close up. The overdrive isn't as biting and full as that you'll find on larger Orange amps, but were you really expecting it to be anyway? It's awesome that it has some drive in here at all, and it actually doesn't sound bad at all. I used mostly the clean sound on here when I've used it however, which comes in nice and crisp. If you're running it with a nine volt battery, be aware that as the battery drains your tone will change a bit as well.

OVERALL OPINION

Those in the market for a mini portable guitar amplifier should absolutely be aware of the Orange Amps Micro Crush as it's probably the best mini amp out there. It's about the same price as similar amps made by Marshall and Fender, but in my opinion has the most realistic sound and most options. The tuner is a huge plus as you can spend this amount of money on a tuner alone if you wanted to! This amp is great for beginners looking to get a small practice amp, but also works great for players on all levels just looking for something portable. The Orange Amps Micro Crush is up there with the best of it's kind!
