Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes has partnered with Orange to create this stunning limited edition Crush Bass 50, finished in distinctive deep purple vinyl with a special silver ‘Glenn Hughes Limited Edition’ plaque. Hughes, who served as bassist and vocalist for Deep Purple during their legendary fifty-year journey through classic hard rock, brings his expertise to this compact combo that draws inspiration from Orange’s flagship OB1 and 4 Stroke amplifiers.
This 50-watt model combines the practicality of a rehearsal rig with professional-grade tone and features typically reserved for high-end equipment. The analogue circuitry and ported cabinet design produce bold, punchy low frequencies, while the versatile tonal range spans from warm modern cleans through vintage grind to full distorted chaos. The extremely flexible active EQ section includes a sweepable parametric mid band, giving players unlimited control over their signature sound.
The interactive Gain and Blend controls create massive ‘bi-amped’-style tones with remarkable ease, adding extra harmonics and variable grit levels to your core bass tone. These controls can be switched remotely using an optional footswitch for added convenience. Additional features include a buffered effects loop, integrated tuner, auxiliary input, and headphone output with Orange’s Cabsim circuitry for silent practice sessions.
