What Orange Crush 35RT owners say

“Who ever put a tuner inside an amp is a genius”
— @jacobseraphin685 on YouTube
“It's tones are very good. It's not as versatile as other amp in its price range (built in fx etc) but it's focused on quality sound is the best.”
— @toro514 on YouTube
“The Orange is kind of a one trick pony. It’s a good trick, but still. The distortion tones are dark and sludgy. I had one for a hot minute but quickly got tired of it.”
