This is a demo/review of the new Orange Crush 35RT. The intro was recorded straight into Pro Tools out of the built in DI from the headphone jack that emulates a mic'd up 4x12 Orange cabinet. For the rest of the demo I mic'd the Voice Of The World speaker with an sE X1R Ribbon microphone.
The Crush 35RT features:
2 Channels (foot-switchable)
Shared 3 band EQ
35 Watts - Solid State
Digital Reverb
Low Impedance Effects Loop
Auxiliary Input for MP3 player, etc.
Headphone Out / DI - with cabinet emulation
I have some famous expensive tubes amps but I find myself playing through this solid state gem, My favorite amp
Actually one of the best reviews on this amp. I’m convinced. Buying one. Thanks Mate
I used to play through one of these at my old guitar tutors, loved every minute of it - thought it was a tube amp!
Dude! 3 years later I found this amp stored away in the back of a music store in a small town. Asked how much and started researching. Your video was the last one before I walked out the door to go buy this thing. Got her for $170 used. It looks and sounds perfect. Paired it with a Fender FMT HH Custom Tele and YOU ARE RIGHT! She growls/screams at you on those pulls. I can hold a harmonic on a LOW volume setting.. a singing squealing harmonic. Subscribed. Thanks brother!
I'd just like to add:
I want to say how happy I am. I was a Marshall guy my entire life. I had one of those suckers when I was 16. Ahhhh.. the memories. BUT!
The "Juicy" thing is what sold me. It's what rings true to my style and the sound that I want to hear. That's the important thing.
Getting your amp to translate the sound from your head to your ears. Having said that, I'm giddy.
The tuning light strip, the headphone out, the loop... but most of all the grittiness. Just outstanding really.
Also, I keep playing this video back trying to cop Mike's licks. Right up my alley. :-) (I'm sure that didn't hurt with the decision during research) LOL
i became a fan of solid state orange amps
mywave78 wellowoody would this be alright to gig with?
Eli Oskar get the 60 or 120 the beauty of solid state master volume amp is no matter how big it is you can turn it down to a whisper for home practice.
nice to see Orange making a huge comeback in the world of guitar amplifiers. Competition only creates better products.
"Only" but not "always" ...
Damn, I don't know what sold me more: the amp tones or your skills. Great video!
Thanks so much!
The sound with the high gain sounds amazing
The cleans are what sells it for me. It's a great inexpensive option if you're a pedal guy. This thing is super versatile.
Finally someone who reviews something and can actually play
Picked up our household's first setup this weekend, a red Mini Strat and used Crush Pix 12L (scored the amp for$55). Should be a great start. Next step is the full sized LP style guitar and 35RT. Thanks again for the input and inspiration... keep shining.
Oh my God! I love that high gain chug! This amp sounds great all around, but that was just something else entirely
It's funny how easy can a video review single handedly make a person buy something. Kudos to you sir. Kudos for your guitar playing and your beatiful tele too.
Thank you so much!
Have no idea why, but this 35RT just keeps showing up for me in my feed here in 2022, like I never even knew it existed before!
I've retired my Fender 75watt combo and switched to this. A quarter of the weight and as loud as f***. It honestly sounds more valvey than a valve amp. Great for pub gigs and tons of tone without pushing the volume up.
Solid widdlies, man. The righteous shreds coupled with our mutual moniker has solidified this amp's status as an imminent addition to my aural arsenal.
🙏🏻 Thanks man!
Alright, I’m sold on this amp. Came here to see how good it really is and it honestly sounds amazing.
Excellent! Let me know how you like it!
Wow, awesome playing and great amp! A lot more horsepower than I need with my skills so I’ll be looking at an Orange Crush 20.
That Tele is gorgeous!!
I have been mesmerized with it since I first saw it at the shop on the wall. Just stunning!
A rustic beauty. Is that quilted maple? Man, how bout' this Crush though, sounds a lot better then I thought it would. Nice chops Mike
It is flamed maple but I don't know how it's rated. I'd guess AA or AAA. Definitely not AAAA. Yeah this amp smokes! And thanks for the kind words!
Sweet demo! I've had this amp now for about a month now and love it. Ran into the smaller brother (the 20RT) on craigslist this past week for a steal price and cashed it out and now I run my 35RT and 20RT in stereo mode with my pedalboard. The clean channels on these amps are very nice! Especially in stereo mode.. Great amps for the money..
Excellent!!
I just came back from Guitar Center Hollywood, CA, not buying the amp because I was told by the expert there that you can't use the headphone jack as a line out to a mixer for recording. And here you prove him wrong. Going back for the amp. Thanks.
You should totally show him the manufacturers website! Glad I could clear that up!
Hey, Mike! I bought the amp and I love it, but I'm getting very low levels into my mixer and Sonar X2 but enough to record, just less than -20 db at full blast from the amp. Problem is that it makes crackling noises when I hit the strings just a little too hard. I tried three different stereo 1/4" cables out of the amp into the mixer and I have it pretty much all the way up on the mixer. Any idea? Not sure if I have a defective amp. Thanks!
+Mondo Vila First thing I would do is try headphones and make sure your getting good output. If that's good, your audio interface probably can be switched from "instrument" input to "line level". If that doesn't work, try another channel on the interface. Let me know if any of that helps!
Thanks, Mike. You were right, one of the channels on my mixer was dodgy. I switched, and it works. I checked everything but that. lol. Cheers!
Nice playing man! My Marshall VS30R took a dump, and I’ve been in the market for a replacement. I’m usually a tube amp guy to the core, but I also value reliability. Your video sold me on the Crush. Just ordered one! Thanks for the demo and again great playing!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad this video helped. You’re going to dig this amp!
These are some dynamic tones. I love that Orange took there time to do a solid state right. I'm a reliability guy and this review helped steer me in the right direction, tubes can be annoying. Thanks!
+egasparinijr1 Thanks so much! I'm glad my review was helpful!
I bought one 2 years ago.I liked the Orange sound so much that I stepped up a notch and bought my first tube amp.The Orange Rocker15 combo that has the gold label votw 10 inch speaker that has a sensitivity of 101DB.It hits 105DB without breaking a sweat and the speaker isn't broken even broken in yet.The 35rt I now use for practicing and even have it hooked up 24/7 to my tv lol. Orange rocks.I wish I had a custom shop 50 head .To cover all the bases.I don't own any other amps but Orange 🤷😂
just scored one for $50 on Craigslist. well worth it.
Tim Morrissey No way. $50!!!!!
Well damn lol
You either ripped someone off royally or you’re mistaken and maybe got a different orange amp? I’d kill to be able to get an amp of this quality for that price ahaha
Bull
I’m picking one up for a hundo. Not sure how you got it for 50... I thought I was committing thievery, but you sir are the king of thieves! Nice score
My mum is letting me buy this for my birthday... it sounds AWESOME!
+Tornado The Hedgehog Excellent!!!
+Mike Martin At around 7:22 with the heavier stuff, do you just need the "Dirty" setting all the way up?
Probably not quite as high as you might think. I tend to look for heavier tones starting at 11:00 and turn it up from there only as much as needed to get that sound. I doubt I'm more than 65-70% up there.
I love it !!! 2015 video! I got mine coming this week 2022! 🤘
I just ordered this amp after playing it in store... this thing rOCKS! It's cleans are great and full, but it's high gainy sounds are thicker than molten asphalt and hotter than the core of the sun, especially using a Les Paul or high clarity humbuckers.
zackthekilljoy cort cr250 with this is good?
Mike! I just ordered this today from ZZ. This video made me smile knowing I'm about to enjoy this amp. I enjoyed the review!
Excellent!! Thank you so much!!
Got mine from zzounds after watching this video. I had the Crush 20 before and it was loud and crisp. This beast is awesome! TY for the video. LOL also bought ORANGE AMPLIFICATION shirts too ;)
Excellent Démo 😉😉
Good review. Clear and concise without all the bullshit and moronic stuff on other reviews. Well done.
Thank you!
Wow! I think it's the most beautiful Tele I've ever seen !!!!! And it sounds very good with the amp!
+June Lambert Thanks so much!!
+June Lambert I'm a bit smitten with this Tele as well!
aside from delays and flanges(distractions) this thing has more tonal diversity than any line 6 modeling amp
great review, thanks for showing the clean sound along with the edge of break up.
Thanks so much!
Holy ballz. I'm sold.
Excellent playing!
I just got one and I will say this thing is fantastic. The tones at low volumes are probably the best I've heard. Maybe the most fun small amp to play through ever? And I've had them all. However, I wish it was dead silent. Most other solid state amps have zero noise when turned on. This amp compresses your signal ALOT too. So Orange, if you could fix 2 things I'd love it not to compress so much and silence it! Next version please!
great tone & playing! I am getting this amp in 2 weeks.
Thanks man! Excellent choice!
nice playing mike its got that slighty bluesy classic rock,when you put dirt on it it gave it quiet a kick an frontal presence to come out well when soloing love the sound sonds great for metal,which i love or hard rock
Thank you!
Mike Martin
Good blues amp? Don’t care about metal at all...might it satisfy a strictly blues player?
I like this Mike Martin
Awesome demo
Nice demo my man!
Well I just ordered one because of this demo. Sound awesome! I need a good practice amp.
i just bought one, amazing tone for solid state. it was this or a vox and i actually chose this because it sounds better at lower volumes.
+Joshua Pendley Excellent! Congrats on your new amp!
Love it,! Thanks for showing us what this amp can do.
great demo, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Finally a good and useful review. Thank you, man.
Thank you so much!
That's the tone right there
just got one and its insane😀😀😀
Excellent!!
what settings do you use for if you want your amp to sound like 5:30 I an't figure it out and it's really pissing me off
Great review, Love the top on that tele!
Thanks! I love it too!
Very nice!!!!!!!!! great little amp mine arrives in two days!!!! GREAT video and playing bud!!!!
Thanks so much!
Amazing skills and a great review? Excellent work, man. You've definitely given me some good info and definitely a bit of jealousy because of that beautiful guitar
I’ve had mine for about 4 years, the more I use it, the better I like it.
My Fender Deluxe stays in the garage.
Thank you Mike! Great review and killer playing
gosh,,, that's tuned down to C or so? great stuff.. djenting on a tele!
I think maybe drop c.... it’s nasty!
Just ordered mine, good review of it bro
Great demo. Just found you. I have to get one to record with and do small gigs and outdoor jams.
Thanks 🙏 mike.. really good 😌 job
I think this is the demo that clinched a sale for me. I needed to know what a tele sounded through the amp. Thanx!
Excellent!
Same! I was originally gonna go for maybe the 20rt but figured maybe I’ll treat myself aha
Mike, great review. Thanks !
That sounds great man! Lovely clean and drive tones!!
I was in guitar center a couple years ago and heard a dude shredding on one of these orange amps. I said is that tube? He said no solid state. I was surprise. Well I've been looking up amps on TH-cam because I want somthing that can do the country and rock. I thinking I'm fixing to sell my marshal twin 2x12 jcm amp for one of these. They are over looked I think maybe.
Thank you mike,mine arrived today.
Very good demo....Thank you !
Thank you!
I cant dicide about the Orange 35rt and Fender 40 champion, wich is better for use analog pedals? Idc the digital efects of the champion, im gonna use 6 pedals
I have this amp and Love it
Great for practice
Brand new demo video for the new for 2015 Orange Crush 35RT from Orange Amps!
www.orangeamps.com
what is better to take? 20 rt or 20ldx? Is difference great?
I actually don't know! I would want to play them side by side to see how they differ under close inspection. I can say that the 20RT is fantastic though and I have not played the DX yet.
The BrainDit 20LDX is a modeling amp with alot of digital effects, and is an older crush model so it does not have the improved sound that the newer ones have with voice of the world speakers improved EQ and gain structure, the RT versions do have a digital reverb though, i am going to sell my modeling amp to buy one of these orange crush amps, probably a regular crush 20 because i allready have a polytune clip and because the reverb is still digital, but i tell you that fully analog solid state sounds so much better then the digital modeling stuff, louder, true'er and more responsive, Orange says that the internal structure is similair to tube amps where each EQ section has it's own path just like a tube amp, and you can hear it.
Not sure what version of the LDX you have, cuz my 35LDX isn't modelling, but it does have the digital FX.
I think you're getting confused between modelling and FX. The RT line has lost the digital effects. Neither model line is modelling - it's just one amp sound with the usual tone controls.
I'd be keen to check out an RT - I'd love to have a footswitch on the OD, and plug my Zoom G5 into the effects loop for modulations etc!
I just got this and had it in my shed with the volume on 7 and my mum could here it in the house which is a good 20yards away
7 or 7:00. At 10:00 it's loud. LOL
7:22 dude this is violent!
great review!
Thanks so much!
I have the same amp but its different in the back. The labeling is slightly different and it has another jack in the back that has no label. I was looking it up to try to figure out what it is.
Might be an older (or newer maybe) version of Crush 35. There are LDX and RTs versions that I know and probably other that I don’t.
I am not sure what jack is that one you talking about, maybe an speaker out or fx loop?
I’m sure they have made some updates since I posted this video. I need to see what’s new!
Thank you for this information! Also great player by the way. 👍🏼
Thanks so much! Glad this was helpful!
Nice guitar dude!
Great playing and sounds. Just got one and not dissapointed! D#
wowww...i like this ampli..thanks mike for demo
Can i use my pedal effect thru input? Thanks
Nice playin 👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Why did the high gain on the Telecaster sound so much better than when you swapped to an Ibanez lol
I really dig this tele for aggressive music. Definitely a guitar with better tone than most guitars in my stable!
Hi, very nice :-) greetings, Mike
Will this accept a 12in 4ohm speaker..i heard a 12in will fit the 35 dlx..i have a old 12in celestion 4ohm from the 80's that soumds great..would like to swap them out..thanks
+Dave Loudin I would need to check with the folks at Orange to be sure. If the amp is set to a fixed 8ohm speaker output then I would imagine not. Not sure if that info is posted on the website or not: www.orangeamps.com
+Mike Martin ..ok ..thanks mike..i was under the impression it had a 4ohm speaker in it....wonder if i could fit a 12in 8ohm in it..not a big fan of 10in speakers..even put a 12in in a 65 princeton..ok..thanks mike
Do you reckon Orange Crush 35RT over the new Yamaha THR10 II? I only need for home use and not for gigging.
Lazo Tashev go for the orange 🍊 it’s got a bigger speaker 🔊 you won’t be disappointed 😎
@@sid35gb would you recommend it even over the thr30ii? I use mostly clean tones. Thanks
That overdriven tone is nasty and in a good way, especially with that tuning you're using. I thought you were going to bust into some late model King's X riffage at one point. For a little amp it makes a great racket.
+adam872 Thank you Sir!! \m/
My Yoda lives by my lava lamp as well \m/
Using The Force is THE way to get great guitar tone! \m/
Just got this 35RT. It has quite a buzz coming out of head phone jack. Is that just the case or....
That sounds like an issue. I would have it checked out!
35RT seems to be Drop D friendly.
it is, i like to play a lot of tool
Question, at 2:57, you're on the clean channel, yet it sounds dark and almost kind of "thuddy". Did you have treble rolled off on amp and/or guitar? It's a very weird sort of "clean tone". I was just looking for videos as I was thinking of pickup one up, but that sound is weird enough to be a deal-breaker. I realize this was a long time ago..but perhaps you recall? Either way, thanks for whatever info you can provide.
It’s more “edge of breakup” kind of clean which is kind of the thing with a lot of Orange amp models. I dig it!
Hi, the clean tones sounds a bit distorted don't you think? not so clear, it seem like a pretty good amp for high gain and distortion purposes
Awesome demo, this amp sounds amazing! :)
Thank you!
I'm hesitating between an Orange and a Marshall. I really like the Orange's sound but I heard you have to buy two seperate footswitches for the distortion channel and the reverb effect. Could you give me some details on this, please?
+Keven Klayne Hey there. The 35RT optional footswitch only changes between the clean and dirty channels. I looked over the website specs for more info but I believe that is the only footswitch function for this amp. www.orangeamps.com Hope that helps!
Thanks a bunch. I really like your playing, by the way.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Thanks for the Demo Video.
Do you think I can use the amp for ZZ Top Sound and Texas Blues or should I look for something else?
Christian Karl probably the cr60 definitely does 😎
I think so. It takes drive pedals well to so it’s very versatile
great video martin,do you think this amp's clean channel could work great with a distortion pedal?
Sold
I got this thing for $100 along with a switch pedal and consider it a steal.
There's no way you're finding a genuine Crush 35RT for $100 WITH a pedal unless it's a fake.
@@DV-zv4ox I got it from a rich guy who just wanted something else. Looks legit to me
Would you be able to do a comparison video of this and the rocker 15? Really want to see how it stacks up to an orange tube amp.
Could you gig this in a small venue (like 4-5 by 15 m or smth), no PA? rock band.
I'm actually just wondering
If you have drums in your band, I'd say probably not. Then again, if your drummer is fairly mellow, maybe. There's a YT video where Rob Chapman is playing a 50w Boss Katana with a drummer and bass player and the Katana is loud enough. A 50w amp is louder than a 35w amp, but not by a whole lot. Actually, doubling the wattage of an amp only results in an extra 3dB of loudness, assuming both amps are using the same speaker. The Katana does have a 12" speaker, though, whereas the Orange has a 10".
@@profd65 thanks
Hey dude, awesome vid! I'm a student on a budget and am looking for something around £200! I play in a church band in a school hall sized venue, would this sound big enough clean if mic'ed up?
I have an Epiphone '56 Gold Top Les Paul but was thinking of getting a Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo (if I'm not too strapped for cash), any idea how they'd sound through this? I'm thinking of getting a different amp to my Line 6 as I've had that for waaaaay too long lol
I think it would sound great but there's only one way to know for sure!
looking into getting an orange amp and I have a gig coming up playing loads of different covers from the stones to Andrew WK..are these good for that distortion sound :)
+craig jones I think so, but it's always best to take your guitar to the shop and put one to it's paces to be sure!
Damn sinse has some chops
This or the thr30ii? Thanks
sounds less muddy than older orange amps. do they have a better speaker now?
+BuddyJesusSmokes Not sure what speaker was in the older ones if they weren't Vintage 30's but this one is the "Voice Of The World" speaker. All Orange amps have a ton of bottom end so depending on what guitar you're playing will make a difference in how you want to set the EQ controls. I find it's better to have more than you need!
Put a mxr 10 band eq in fx loop and it is pristine.
