Orange Crush 20RT Combo Amp
Legendary Orange tone with added versatility.
The Orange Crush 20RT Combo Amp takes the solid foundation of the Crush 20 and enhances it with onboard digital reverb and an integrated chromatic tuner, making it one of the most feature-rich practice amps in its class. Compact yet powerful, this 20-watt combo delivers authentic Orange tone, from sparkling cleans to saturated high-gain distortion, all through its custom 8″ Voice of the World speaker.
Expanded Functionality, Same Classic Tone
With two footswitchable channels, you can easily move between crystal-clear cleans and gritty overdrive, while Orange’s acclaimed high-gain preamp design provides a wide palette of tones suited for rock, blues, metal, and beyond. The 3-band EQ allows you to sculpt your sound with precision, while the digital reverb adds warmth and space for everything from subtle ambience to lush, atmospheric trails.
Practice and Recording Made Easy
The Crush 20RT isn’t just about volume – it’s about versatility. The CabSim-loaded headphone/line output emulates the sound of a mic’d 4×12 cabinet, perfect for silent practice or direct recording.
