Orange Super Crush 100 Head

The Orange Super Crush 100 Guitar Head Amp is an evolution of the brilliant Crush Pro recipe, resulting in even more satisfying, pure analogue tone. Packing the same Class A/B power amp as the Pedal Baby 100, combined with two all-analogue preamp channels, the Super Crush 100 gives you instant access to a whole spectrum of warm, valve-like tones. CabSim speaker emulation allows you to switch between closed or open back output, directing your perfect sound through your house system.

Orange Super Crush 100 Head Amp

Building on the huge success of Orange Crush Pro solid state amplifiers, the Orange Super Crush 100 Head takes this now-classic recipe and goes a step further in the search for valve-like tone. Though equipped with all the same features as the original amp, the Super Crush 100 is a completely new design, proving that a lot of small improvements can make a BIG difference – and there’s a CabSim balanced output too!

With its single-ended, 2-channel JFET preamp design and 100 Watt Class A/B power amp, the Orange Super Crush 100 mimics the huge, rich and responsive tone of the flagship Rockerverb amps in solid state. From clean to heavy high gain, there’s no shortage of Orange mojo. Touch-sensitive dynamics and lush harmonic overtones sing out of this amp with such authority and musicality that you’d swear there were valves inside!

AUTHENTIC ANALOGUE TONE

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.

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 dialled 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 have proven that before with the Crush Pro range, and the Super Crush 100 reinforces the point. The Super Crush 100 uses the tried and tested 100 Watt Class A/B power amp from the Pedal Baby 100 to deliver all the dynamics, presence and 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 2×12 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.
