Product information "Orange Crush Bass 50 Bass Amp"

The Crush Bass 50 compact combo, inspired by Orange’s flagship AD200 and OB1 bass amplifiers, perfectly blends some of the most defining elements of each. It has the essentials of a recording amp and delivers warm, clean bass tones, vintage growl with fat low end and blendable overdrive.

Like the rest of the Crush Bass range, this 50 Watt model delivers bold and punchy lows courtesy of its analogue circuitry and ported cabinet. The extremely flexible active EQ section includes a sweepable parametric mid band, allowing players to shape their signature sound without limitations. For even more versatility, the interactive Gain and Blend controls are primed for creating enormous ‘bi-amped’-style tones with ease, adding extra harmonics and variable levels of grit to the core bass tone. They can also be switched in remotely using the optional footswitch. Other handy features include a buffered effects loop, integrated tuner, aux. input and a headphone output with our Cabsim circuitry.

POWERFUL ACTIVE PARAMETRIC EQ

The Crush Bass 50 features an EQ circuit inspired by our prestigious 4 Stroke Series amplifiers. At its centre is a parametric mid band. This presents players with a much greater degree of control over the sound than a traditional EQ, allowing them to vary the frequencies they want hear. The mid band covers a wide range, sweeping from 300Hz (fully counter-clockwise) to 2.7kHz (fully clockwise), meaning this amp can be fine tuned to suit any musical style. The active circuitry allows for up to 15dB of boost or cut on the bass and middle frequencies, and up to 20dB on the treble side.

BLEND & GAIN

Lifted straight from our popular OB1 Series amps, the Blend and Gain controls are a nod to the many bass players who experiment with guitar and bass amps simultaneously. In this ‘bi-amped’ setup, layers of harmonics and distortion from the guitar amp are blended with the core bass tone to create the ultimate full-range live sound. The Crush Bass 50’s Gain and Blend controls create the same effect in a single package, adding extra bite and crispness to the tone at lower gain settings, right up to all-out filth with the dials cranked. These controls can also be engaged remotely with the optional FS-1 footswitch, ideal for fattening your tone on the fly.

ANALOGUE DESIGN & PORTED CABINET

The Crush Bass series delivers fat, rounded sound thanks to an all analogue signal path. The Crush Bass 50 houses a 12” speaker with a reflex port for improved low-end response. The buffered effects loop has been engineered for maximum transparency, ensuring your pedal arsenal will perform to its peak.

CABSIM HEADPHONE OUTPUT, AUX INPUT & CHROMATIC TUNER

The headphone output features our Cabsim circuitry which emulates the response of our stage-ready OBC bass speaker cabinets during silent practice. This signal can also be sent to a console for seriously authentic direct recording. The Aux. Input allows for connecting external audio sources for backing tracks whilst the handy onboard tuner makes for quick tune-ups between jams.

rocker verb

The Rockerverb series is a guitar amp series that, like all Orange amps except for the Crush, is an all-tube amp designed primarily for rock, punk and metal styles. It has a two-stage structure and has two channels: clean and dirty channel, with the dirty channel corresponding to normal distortion.

thunder verb

The Thunderverb series, on the other hand, is a bit more moderate: Although they have a similar structure to the Rockerverbs, they have a slightly softer sound.

Thunder

Orange's Thunder series are described as Orange's cleanest sounding, highest gain amps. They have a two-channel structure throughout: clean channel with treble, bass and volume; Dirty channel with volume, shape and gain.

In terms of power, they are available in two versions: 30 watts as a TH30H top or TH30C combo amplifier with four EL84 pentodes in the power stage or 100 watts as a TH100H top with four EL34 power pentodes. The preamp is the same for both variants with four 12AX7-ECC83 triodes. The Thunder series also features a tube-buffered effects loop using an ECC81 triode.

Both variants can be switched to different power levels. The 30 watt variant can be switched to 15 and 7 watts, the 100 watt variant to 70, 50 and 35 watts.

crush

The Crush series is Orange's entry-level guitar series: it includes numerous models of transistor amplifiers as combo amplifiers or heads. The smallest model is the Micro-Crush Pix 3 combo amp with 3 watts of power and one 4" speaker. The largest combo amp is the Crush CR120C with 120 watts of power and two 12" speakers. This model is also available as a top (CR120H).

tiny terror

The Tiny Terror is a compact all-tube guitar amp with an output power of 15 watts. The preamp is equipped with two ECC83 tubes, in the power amp there are two EL84 pentodes. The Tiny Terror amplifiers are also available as bass amplifiers, with the same preamp, but with power amplifiers in Class D technology with outputs of 500 watts (Terror Bass 500) or 1000 watts (Terror Bass 1000). Characteristic is the white, compact sheet steel housing (except for the Dark Terror) with a carrying handle on the top and the spartan equipment. The Tiny Terror only has one volume, gain and one tone control each, only the bass amplifier and the special model Dark Terror have an effects loop, although only the latter is equipped with an additional preamp tube for this purpose.

Dual terror

The largest model in the Terror series is equipped with four ECC83 tubes in the preamp and four EL84 tubes in the power amp and has two channels. The output power is 30 watts. The white sheet steel housing is similar to that of the Tiny Terror, but slightly larger.

MicroTerror

The Micro Terror is a hybrid guitar head that is based on the Tiny Terror in terms of looks and sound. The amplifier is only 165mm wide, 135mm high, 92mm deep and has one channel. An ECC83 tube works in the preamp, the 20 watt output power is generated with a transistor output stage. The four control elements are located on the front of the white sheet steel housing: an on/off switch, a volume control, a tone control and a gain control. The amplifier is powered by a supplied external power supply. In 2015, Orange introduced the Micro Dark, which is based on the sound of the Dark Terror and Dual Dark amplifiers. Another difference to the Micro Terror is that the case is black. In addition, the Aux-In input has been omitted, but the Micro Dark has an effect loop.

AD series

The AD series stands for the retro sound. The AD series is available for electric bass and electric guitar. In terms of quality and price, the AD amplifiers are superior to the Tiny Terrors.
