Orange Super Crush 100 Solid-State Guitar Amplifier Head (100 Watts)

The Super Crush 100 will have you rethinking solid-state sound. Orange juices up this amp with two channels, digital reverb, an effects loop, and a DI out.

From input to output, the Super Crush 100 uses high-quality analogue circuitry to deliver all the immediacy, definition and character that you would expect from any of Orange's top-of-the-range valve amps. It's solid state done right.


Watch as Ty Tabor demos the Super Crush 100 in this video from Orange:


High Gain, High Versatility

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 dialed 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 3-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 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.

100 Watts of Solid State Mojo

Solid state doesn't have to be lifeless. Orange has proven that before with the Crush Pro range, and they're proving it all over again. The Super Crush 100 uses the tried and tested 100 Watt Class A/B power amp from Orange's Pedal Baby 100 to deliver all the dynamics, presence and read more feel of a big valve amp. Filling big stages is not a problem, thanks to massive headroom, fantastic articulation, and relentless punch.

Direct and To-The-Point

The Super Crush 100 features a balanced XLR output with Orange's CabSim speaker emulation technology. Mimicking the sound of a 212 cab, this no-nonsense, all-analogue filter gives you instant access to a great D.I. guitar tone, straight into the P.A. or recording interface. The Cab Back switch selects between the sound of an open or closed back cab, homing in on your perfect direct sound quicker than you can say "I don't need a mic."

Built-In Reverb and Fully-Buffered FX Loop

An on-board digital reverb processor 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 FX Loop takes care of all your effects needs, accommodating even the most outlandish signal chains without ever compromising your carefully crafted tone.

Run one of these cab configurations with the Super Crush 100 head:

- One 16 ohm cab connected to the one of the speaker outputs.
- Two 16 ohm cabs connected to both speaker outputs, or daisy-chained together from one of the speaker outputs.
- One 8 ohm cab connected to one of the speaker outputs.
- NOTE: It's better to not daisy-chain, in case the first cable or cab in the chain were to fail during a performance; then you'd lose all your sound. Running a separate cable to each cab ensures at least one cab will still be going if a speaker cable or cab fails during a performance.

I put this amp to an abusive test. Dimed, and driven hard for 4 hours in another room and it never even warmed up, didn't get hot at all on two 4x12, 16 ohm cabs. I have two blackstar ht stage 100 mkii full stacks. I like them in stereo. The 4 cabs are mkii ht-venue series with the grey grille's. The amp heads are tube. When I crank them up any at all, and attempt to get a clean sound, they just won't clean up well. So I'm thinkin they're not made to do that. They're made for that grungy break-up in distortion. So I snagged this orange super crush 100 solid state from zZounds for a clean sound, thinking ahhh... Cheap, low payment, small, light weight, clean practice amp... Wasn't expecting too much from solid state, and the low price... I was quickly proven all kinds of WRONG! I ran an older DigiTech RP-1000 pedalboard into the input jack, not the effects loop I wanted to hear the clean channel preamp boosted, and see if this amp could take some high input abuse. On the clean patch of the pedalboard. (Factory HIWATT amp PATCH of course.) Plugged up to two 4x12 blackstar cabs (240watt each) with factory celestion 60 watt, 16 ohm speakers, one angle cab, one straight cab. It really sounded a lot like an old school hiwatt cranked up. The loudest, cleanest sound I have ever heard from any amp not running through thousands of watts of PA. I'm thinking the pedalboard had a bit to do with it, but it shows that the clean preamp, and power amp orange is using, very clearly reproduces read more exactly the sound you feed it. No distortion at all cranked up with this pedalboard. Of course this amp is not the same hooked straight in with no pedals. No amp is. Tube or solid state. So if you have any effects with your dirty or clean sound, this amps gonna reproduce exactly whatever sound you run to it. This was the goal to see how loud, and clean it would perform. It was much louder than I could handle up close. You hit the right frequency of notes and it's loud enough to roll your eyes around in your head when hooked up like that if your standing in front of it. I was using a fender strat HSS. My chin hit the floor, and all I could do is stand there across the room looking at this amp head in amazement, saying to myself are you ******* kidding me? Because it was less than half the price I paid for the blackstar heads new, and way out performing them on the cleans. I was shocked that this solid state 100 watt orange amp was just as loud clean, as the blackstar 100 watt was dimed up dirty. Either one of these amps can seriously damage your hearing in a very short time when dimed on stacked 4x12 cabs. Volume levels are very comparable. However the orange way outperforms on the cleans. After hearing this head on my blackstar cabs, I ended up with an extra blackstar 4x12 straight cab for the orange head. It's loud enough with one cab, two cabs are definitely not needed on this thing. 1-16 ohm 4x12 is way more than enough. I'm looking to maybe double the half stack for stereo sound. I have no idea what it sounds like in person on the orange cabs. Just saying. Super impressed with this solid state super crush! Hope this helps somebody out there in making their decision. I spent too much money on those blackstar heads after I heard this amp hooked up and dialed in right! Jam on!
