All user reviews of 5/5 for the Orange Micro Crush

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.

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)

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!
