In More Detail
The Crush 35RT is a no-compromise practice and gigging amp that combines high-headroom analogue circuitry with modern must-haves. At 35 Watts, it’s the most powerful in the Crush range, offering ample volume and clean headroom, but with the same warm voicing and classic crunch you’d expect from Orange. The all-analogue signal path keeps your tone rich and responsive at every gain setting, from clean shimmer to saturated drive. Two independent channels, Clean and Dirty, can be toggled using an optional footswitch, giving you versatility on stage or in rehearsal. A three-band EQ lets you sculpt your sound, and the built-in digital reverb adds anything from subtle room to cavernous space.
The onboard chromatic tuner helps keep you locked in without needing extra gear, but if you do have extra pedals, the fully buffered effects loop handles them with complete transparency. Plug into the headphone output and you’ll trigger Orange’s CabSim circuit, which emulates the sound of a miked-up 4×12 cabinet, perfect for quiet recording or late-night playing without losing the feel of a full rig. Whether you're practising, recording, or performing in small venues, the Crush 35RT delivers real amp tone, modern functionality, and the kind of reliability that has made Orange a trusted name for over 50 years.

All-analogue signal path
Unlike many practice amps in this price range, the Crush 12 is fully analogue from input to output. That means a more natural response, better dynamics and a sound that feels alive under your fingers. Whether you’re playing clean or pushing it into overdrive, the tone stays rich, responsive and warm, just like a classic amp should. It’s simple, immediate, and a world away from the cold, sterile sound of digital modelling.
CabSim headphone output
The Crush 12 features our CabSim-loaded headphone output, an analogue circuit that emulates the sound of a 4×12 cab carrying our Voice of the World speakers. Whether you’re practising silently at home or making a record in your bedroom studio, you’ll still get the depth, power and character of a real-life speaker stack through the headphone-out socket. It’s a proper tone, with no digital compromise, and it means you can play any time, day or night.
Built-in reverb and tuner
Based on a classic “spring” design, the reverb in the Crush RT models is an all-new digital module which adds a warm 3D spaciousness to your sound. Ranging from a subtle shimmer to lengthy ethereal trails, the circuit features an analogue dry-through path, ensuring your guitar’s tone maintains its integrity as the reverb is blended in. The integrated chromatic tuner is accurate and fast-tracking for quick tune-ups between jams.
Fully buffered effects loop
For players who love their pedals, the Crush 35RT’s fully buffered, low-impedance effects loop allows for any number of effects and cables to be patched between the amp’s input and output sections without sacrificing tone. The design attention to detail here means your pedal arsenal will perform to its absolute peak.
