Orange Crush 3 Mini Amp
One of the latest products to come out of the Orange amplifiers stable is the Orange Micro Crush mini-amplifier, standing at just 5 inches high this little beauty runs on a 9volt battery or alternatively on an external 9 volt power adapter.
Despite its miniscule size the Micro Crush has some practical features for guitarists starting with switch-able dual channels that provide clean or overdriven sounds. The custom designed 4” speaker can provide a decent range of tonal options despite its diminutive dimensions, and although the official power rating is a modest 1 watt, this mini-amp sounds a heck of a lot louder than that.
The wise old owls at Orange have even included a fully functional chromatic tuner with tuning LED’s easily visible from the top of the amp; the basic chassis is metal with a wooden casing and sports a volume and tone control to shape the overall sound.
In keeping with its bigger brothers the exterior of the Micro crush is covered with Orange’s trademark bright orange textured vinyl along with a genuine Orange grill cloth and a miniature Orange crest. It also sports a headphone input so that you can sit back and play without disturbing anyone, as the insertion of the headphone jack automatically mutes the speaker.
