Orange Crush Bass 100 Combo Amplifier

The Crush Bass 100 brings flagship-level engineering to a versatile combo format, combining the best elements from Orange’s acclaimed 4 Stroke and OB1 series into an amp that’s perfectly suited for smaller venues. At its heart lies a powerful 100-watt output section that utilises discrete components rather than standard integrated circuits, resulting in exceptional clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. The internal 15" speaker ensures even the deepest bass frequencies are reproduced with impressive definition and punch.

The preamp section matches the output stage’s sophistication, featuring an active EQ with a sweepable parametric mid band that allows precise tonal shaping for any musical style. Orange’s innovative ‘bi-amp’ inspired Gain and Blend circuit adds remarkable tonal flexibility, introducing variable harmonic content and controllable levels of grit while preserving the crucial low-end foundation. These interactive controls can craft everything from warm vintage tones to heavily saturated sounds, and both can be engaged remotely with an optional footswitch.

Beyond its core amplification, the Crush Bass 100 includes comprehensive connectivity options that make it suitable for various applications. A balanced line output handles direct recording or PA connection, while the buffered effects loop accommodates external processing. Additional features include an integrated tuner, auxiliary input for play-along sessions, and a Cabsim-loaded headphone output for silent practice, making this amp a complete solution from home practice to live performance.
