Walked into Guitar Center the other day looking to try out a few Marshalls and a Bugera T5 and they had one of these crush 120s hooked up to a Orange 4x12. I plugged a used Les Paul into it and couldnt believe my ears. I left that day and couldnt get that orange out of my head. I wanted another tube amp but this thing sounded so good and had amazing tone at bedroom volume. It was exactly what I needed. I called the store back and found out this was actually a used amp that had been mismarked as new. They only wanted $300 for it. I drove an hour back to that store and walked out with it and couldnt be happier. Looks brand new, sounds amazing and was cheap as hell. Wanted a new bedroom amp and ended up with one that will do that and gig if I need. Perfect.
I did indeed buy the orange cr120 just because of Dave’s opinion And i love it ! And i hope Dave get paid by Orange for the work hè did in making the video’s hè deserves it !
I got the cr60, needed something smaller than my fender twin and old mosfet Marshall twin. Love the orange, was a pain to get a cover, need it in this weather, all thanks to Dave. I'm 70yrs now, love all music, still gig each week, me an Dave have the same hair style, ha ha, bless him. Rodge David Kidderminster UK 😀
I can't help but be inspired by Dave's everything. Facial expressions, focus, passion and talent, of course. Watching him come alive as his soul speaks through each note is almost more gratifying than playing the guitar myself. It's like he just knows what I'm feeling at any given moment and translates it into music for me through whatever guitar/amp combo he might be playing at the time.
Thanks so much again Dave. You'll not recall but I bought my CR120 a year or so ago because of your playing and tones. It has been and is and ever-more will be, one very special amp. Been playing it through a Blackstar closed back 4x12, but this week I get my very own Orange 4x12! It's such a versatile and easy-going amp. I've got my own favourite tones dialled in now and it is awesome. You know, you give so many of us quiet souls, sat by ourselves, so much pleasure and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care.
The CR 120 is clearly a gem - especially when you want something simple. I have a Katana 100 and I am loving it - but for getting into its full potential you need to invest some efforts. Sometimes less options help you to stay focused to playing guitar instead of messing around (endlessly) with settings and effects. Modern solid state amps blow tube amps out of the water, the Katanas and the CR 120 are some proof ... My own tube amps can't compete. I hope that Orange shows some appreciation for Dave's great work and promotion. And I would like to see more videos with the great Dutch Telecaster.
I have the same Katana. I haven't really looked at another amp since I bought it. It's fairly good, although I'm finding it difficult to get a good truly clean tone.
Just ordered my Orange cr120 because of Dave! Have a Marshall jcm900 that is way too finicky, if a representative of Orange is reading this please give Dave a sponsorship.
Your playing is becoming very influential my friend, all the posts I have seen on this awesome amp, pulled the trigger and got one. Never really thought of Orange before seeing your videos. Thank you for opening my eyes to total tonal.heaven, much appreciated
Dave, I could honestly say that you are one of my favorite guitar players. I could watch you plug in and kill your guitar strings for hours. You have a rare energy while playing that some of the best players have. Also, this is my favorite amp in the world! Thanks!!!
You are something else Mr. Simpson. You excude musicality with a humbleness -and craziness- that forces me to grab my guitar. You also cured me from amp snobbery. My favorites are my Laney LC15's -got every version- and the Marshall 5210. Rock on.
I went from a Laney GH50L w/4x12 loaded with Greenbacks to a CR120H with a matching CRPro412. Both are amazing. But honestly, this CR120H beats most tube amps, including the Laney, which was an absolute monster of an amp.
I have always come back to this video when I think to myself 'I don't think I can learn guitar' and see and hear this and it always persuades me to still get one, haven't got it yet but will soon, cheers for being one of the greatest guitar players I have ever seen dude, keep it up
@@idlingby6853 Yes sir. It IS tough early on, but it is soo, soo satisfying. I picked it up, serious about playing,..37 years ago. While I have improved with every passing year,..I was a decent player in about 5 years. Most people thought I was great at that time..lol. I was not but I was decent and having a blast...It is worth it !! Have a great night man.
@@stricknine8623 you have a great night to mate, if it's applicable to your area that is, and yeah I'll give it my all and try not to be afraid of trying out new things, cheers for this. Again, have a good one.
I just bought one for 300$ last night. My Rockerverb 50 is still in the shop so I was Shit out of luck for my gig Saturday. Tested this out and wow it's perfect backup amp. No worries about blowing up tubes. Just add a TS9 and a noise gate to give it a lil more. Love it and this revisit!
Great demo as always Dave! Thanks to you and your stellar playing, I ended up buying two of them!! Keep up the good work amigo! Cheers from California!
"Holy Orange Juiciness Batman" That was a Crushing performance ( a thumb nail, a finger nail and a plectrum to boot) I seriously hope the phantom thumb's downer suffered more than a broken nail, I think his pride must be pretty damaged, jealousy isn't a very good trait is it. Maybe he was still hung over from New Year and was watching upside down?!! I bought the Orange CR 120 because of Dave's rampant enthusiasm, it sounds good in the Mancave and works wonders when used in conjunction with my other secret weapons of the Tonal variety. Soon I will post a video of my triumphant tonal achievements ( though the talent behind them may be a good bit shy of Dave's). One thing is for sure, The Phantom Thumb's Downer will have a field day and all his sad little mates will come scurrying from their hiding places, just to honour me with the presence of their 1st digits. Never before in the battle for tonal supremacy, will so many have had it in for so few (1 actually) but I will have won the battle if I get a single thumbs up from one of you!!
Hey man I just bought this amp from Sweetwater. I'm in a stoner metal band so hopefully it'll kick some ass for that. But I gotta say when you played Apache it nearly brought a tear to my eye with how good the tone was. Seriously man, you're a wizard.
Man.....that whole intro was touching. I don't know how to explain it any way else. Amazing playing. I have a crush 120 pro and ppc212ob coming in next week. Pretty stoked.
The CR120 is so goddamn amazing!! I play it with the mids and bass all the way up, no treble, gain at 6, channel volume at 10. It’s so punchy, you might think you’re in a boxing match! Thanks for bringing this amp into my world.
Not gonna lie. I like the cr120 the best out of probably any orange amp. I just find the rockerverb and the other tube amps to be a little muddy and dark for my taste. I have a cr120 with marshall 1960a and it sounds killer. Might pick up a Marshall silver jubilee and I'll be set.
@@digitaldarknight6162 nice man,,thats a great cab..I usually play gibson through mine but I just got that prs rosewood se custom,,,hell of a guitar for the money...First prs and that cr120 fits these pickups perfect..I have a marshall dsl and a dark terror but that cr120 sounds the best..Try a freidman be od pedal in front ,,its amazing man...
you're literally the reason i got this as my first amp head, it's so versatile and just massive in sound, thanks so much for your extensive videos on this amp Dave
Wonderful to hear such beautiful clean playing through this amp and cab. It’s important to that an amp can sound good clean . Everything else is icing on the cake.
I bought the CR60 combo years ago, it was my first giggable amp and I've used it so much, including for a production of Hairspray: The Musical. Orange have it nailed in my opinion. I also own an OR15 which is incredible and I'm hoping to get more Orange amps.
I'm going to buy either the 35 watt 10 inch or 60 watt 12 inch combo for practicing and small gigs I think. Great amps. They sound killer. Just killer..
Never heard such a nice and soulful playing. Warms my heart and soul. And although I already own some really nice amps like a 68 stock silverface super reverb I am gonna get one of those on tuesday. You made me buy it. :) Cheers from germany
Love the playing, the tones and all the great gear, Dave ! You rock. Your CR120 sounds amazing and your amp collection is mindboggling. I must admit to being a little jealous ! Cheers
Ade Emsley needs to give you a job demoing Orange designs at trade shows , they would shift a load more crush series amps if they did . Only uploaded 25 mins ago and the phantom thumbs downer has stuck again ! I have a theory it must be a boutique valve amp builder who is the one who always thumbs down your vids within minutes of upload . a belated Happy new year Dave .
Gary Wordsworth Yes it’s some tube snob out there who’s furious that Mr. Simpson takes transistors and make the guitar sound BETTER than the tube snob playing through his $3000 amp.
I like the way you play. Some great Blues licks you're pulling off there, and I'm usually not too impressed with the vast majority of youtube videos. Aside from my 27 year old Marshall 8100, I've never been too keen on solid state amps, but I'm actually contemplating getting one of these after hearing your demo of it.
I have a Marshall 8100 that I've had for 26 years! I have not had to do anything to it other than clean the pots a few weeks ago. Great amp. Did you ever get this Orange? I just did and love it. I have a full Marshall stack which I stole one of the 4x12's from to use with the new Orange. My only complaint is I can only use one 8 ohm cabinet with it. Which is ok, as i still use the other one with the Marshall and eventually i want to get a pair of Orange 16 ohm 4x12's.
Dave! I also think the VOC speakers are too fizzy and harsh. Totally agree. I have a PPC412 with the V30s. Just saved enough to buy 2 V30's for my CR120C (which I pair with the PPC412.) Pumped!
I definitely felt that the amp sounded super boxy/fizzy at higher end volumes. Maybe it was the cab I was playing out of at my store? You're saying two Vintage 30 speakers do wonders for this amp??
I have the CR120 2X12 combo and the VOW speakers were slightly harsh when brand new, but broke in beautifully with about 3 months of playing. But, being an open back combo, I realize my experience has a totally different dynamic than a closed back cabinet. I guess they are better suited to the open back thing.
Hands down, the best SS amp available today. No, it won't replace traditional tube amps but for the price and convenience, it can't be beat. I like the tube-like warmth and vintage tones. I'm a MESA Rectifier and Marshall JCM800 guy and even I love this Orange amp. Great playing as always mate, you're an inspiration! Keep up the great work...
Dave, this is my 3rd time watchin this video. I live every video you put out for us, so thank you! I gotta say you are definitely one of my favorite guitarists and you turned me on to Orange a couple years ago so thanks for that also. Anyways just wanted to say how much I appreciate you on here, cheers and have a great day!
One more thing ,why is it with all ,I mean all orange amps the meshed cloth covering the speakers always looks like an old man's nut sack after literally 1 day of use 😂
Hands down the best recorded sounds I’ve ever heard from a CR120, the higher gain stuff sounded a bit dark for my taste but I know that’s your taste. The crunch, at the point of breakup stuff was excellent!
Dave Simpson You’re most welcome Dave. I don’t know if you remember me asking a while ago, but I’ve a real Gretsch 6120 (Japanese) you’re welcome to demo. I don’t live too far
I play alot of heavy metal music and 80s style rock but I love shit like this too... Dave always has great tone. Shit super dave has even got me playing more like this now and I used to always have to have some dirt on my sound but lately I've been putting more soul on my sound.
I have 3 orange amps a marshall dsl 40c and peavey and I will say that I use my cr120 the most...I use it even more than the dark terror tube amp...These cr120 are awesome as you know and sound great through a 2 12 closed back orange cab with vintage 30s...Buy 1 if you haven't it's the best deal in the guitar business...
Dave. Thanks for the great reviews on the orange. I'm getting tired of the digital stuff I'm using. Thinking about getting the CR 60 and going back to pedals.
I liked Orange Amps, I play a TH30 (valve), so I would like to try an solid state amp, but only if it´s an Orange! Thanks for your videos - always an impression!
Don't mind me, just making notes for myself to go back and study: 4:00 11:28 is super close to my ideal cleanish practice tone 16:50 19:40 29:00 35:40 40:45

Carin Hall SAME!!! I can’t lug around big amps anymore and the Katana has been so great.
Not as of yet...but have a Marshall HDFX and a Peavey red stripe and am now considering a Katana 50... Gotta love Dave’s reviews :-)
Got one for my 15th birthday 2 days ago
I bought a rocker valve amp and also cr20 due to daves demos. I was always a Marshall man before that but they both sound amazing
One of ORANGES, BEST SALESMAN. HE TESTS. PUBLIC LIKES. PUBLIC BUYS.

This amp sounds okay on a budget but nowhere close to a boutique tube amp. There will be no natural compression or sustain from overdriving tubes.

Thank you. : )
Thank you again. : )
Oh man. That intro was amazing!
I just found your channel some days ago and damn, im glad i did. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much and I shall do my best. : )
I just got my cr120h today, thanks to you. It sounds amazing !!!
I'm so happy to hear that and have fun. : )
I need one of these to accompany my dual terror. Your playing is incredible by the way ✌️
Thinking about getting one of these they sound amazing , what a cool guitar player great talent Dave Simpson.
Dave, this is my 3rd time watchin this video. I live every video you put out for us, so thank you! I gotta say you are definitely one of my favorite guitarists and you turned me on to Orange a couple years ago so thanks for that also. Anyways just wanted to say how much I appreciate you on here, cheers and have a great day!
IF DAVE HAD A CAPE, HE WOULD BE A SUPER GUITAR PLAYER.
Thank you. : )
@@thedavesimpson "Super Dave".... oops, already done. Well, historically.
Class playing dude really enjoyed the performance 🤘😆and the amp head is nice to 👌
One more thing ,why is it with all ,I mean all orange amps the meshed cloth covering the speakers always looks like an old man's nut sack after literally 1 day of use 😂
Thank you very much. :)
@@thedavesimpson can I ask Dave ,is a dark micro terror with say a marshall 4×12 or 2×12 loud enough for band practice,🤔 thanks dude
I mean will the amp be enough to power the speakers,
Hands down the best recorded sounds I’ve ever heard from a CR120, the higher gain stuff sounded a bit dark for my taste but I know that’s your taste. The crunch, at the point of breakup stuff was excellent!
Thank you very much indeed. : )
Dave Simpson You’re most welcome Dave. I don’t know if you remember me asking a while ago, but I’ve a real Gretsch 6120 (Japanese) you’re welcome to demo. I don’t live too far
Great video as always. Cheers
Cool profile pic
@@lilTwigLP thanks buddeh. Got both the guitar and tattoo around 20 years ago and they've been with me ever since.
Thank you very much. : )
I play alot of heavy metal music and 80s style rock but I love shit like this too... Dave always has great tone. Shit super dave has even got me playing more like this now and I used to always have to have some dirt on my sound but lately I've been putting more soul on my sound.
I have 3 orange amps a marshall dsl 40c and peavey and I will say that I use my cr120 the most...I use it even more than the dark terror tube amp...These cr120 are awesome as you know and sound great through a 2 12 closed back orange cab with vintage 30s...Buy 1 if you haven't it's the best deal in the guitar business...
Came to check out the amp, was mesmorized by your playing!
Dave. That intro was...outstanding!
Thank you very much. : )
You're the reason why I bought my CR120c from Zzounds.
:) Happy to hear that and I hope you like it. :)
Dave thanks for sharing your abilities with us. You are an amazing guitarist. All the best this year
Thank you very much and all the best to you to. : )
Dave needs to be an Orange Ambassador.
The part from 37:40 to 40:40 with the Les Paul sounds absolutely mean!
Dave. Thanks for the great reviews on the orange. I'm getting tired of the digital stuff I'm using. Thinking about getting the CR 60 and going back to pedals.
Thank you for watching. : )
Dave can make a loaf of bread sound like a Marshall stack, keep it up man!
:) Thank you. :)
Good gravy Davy ! Excellent as always, dig that amp man
Thank you very much. : )
Love that blues part at 20:00. Where to start for practicing this kind of playing. That thumb keeps going in to the beat.
It is really nice to listen to you play. :)
Thank you. :)
So great playing in the beginning.Warm
Thank you very much. : )
Buying one this week! Cheers!!
Love hearing Link Wray
Just got one at gc for a good price, it's used but looks mint. I have a bunch of other amps but gas was strong on this one.
Amazing mellow sound!
Thank you very much. :)
I liked Orange Amps, I play a TH30 (valve), so I would like to try an solid state amp, but only if it´s an Orange! Thanks for your videos - always an impression!
Hi Dave! Love the vids. I recently watched your Boss Katana review again and I had to buy one myself. Like you demonstrated, it sounds incredible!
Thank you very much. : )
I love mine. Had it for 2 or 3 weeks
Don't mind me, just making notes for myself to go back and study:
4:00
11:28 is super close to my ideal cleanish practice tone
16:50
19:40
29:00
35:40
40:45
