In More Detail
The Crush Bass 100 is a professional-grade combo that delivers stage-worthy power and articulate tone in a solid, portable package. Its 100-Watt output is paired with a 15” speaker, offering commanding low-end response and headroom to spare, whether you’re rehearsing, recording, or performing live. True to Orange tradition, the signal path is completely analogue, producing rich harmonic warmth and dynamic feel that responds naturally to your playing style.
The active EQ features a sweepable parametric mid band, allowing you to shape your tone with pinpoint accuracy. A blendable gain circuit adds touch-sensitive overdrive, while the buffered effects loop preserves tone integrity when running pedals. Additional features like the balanced XLR output, integrated tuner, aux input and CabSim headphone out make the Crush Bass 100 a highly practical tool for modern bassists. It’s rugged, reliable, and purpose-built to sound great in every environment, from home practice to big-stage performance.
Powerful Active Parametric EQ
Unlike the fixed mids of many compact bass amps, the Crush Bass 100 features an active three-band EQ with a fully parametric midrange. This means you can not only boost or cut the mids, but also sweep through a wide frequency range to pinpoint the exact tone you want. Whether you're chasing deep vintage warmth or modern articulation, this flexible EQ lets you sculpt your sound with surprising detail, especially useful for players who like to experiment or switch styles.
Analogue Design & Ported Cabinet
The Crush Bass 100 is all analogue, from its responsive preamp to its power section. This contributes to a more organic, dynamic feel than you'd typically expect at this size and price point. The ported cabinet design enhances low-end projection, making the amp sound much bigger than its footprint. Whether you're practising at home or playing in a small rehearsal space, you'll enjoy tight lows, smooth mids and a tone that always feels alive.
Blend and Gain Function
The Blend and Gain controls on the Crush Bass 100 give you the power to shape your overdrive without sacrificing your core tone. Use the Gain control to add anything from a touch of grit to a full-on distorted growl, then use the Blend knob to mix that overdriven signal with your clean tone, all at the tap of a foot mid-performance via the footswitch control. This means you keep the tightness, punch and clarity of your low-end while adding as much aggression or warmth as you need, which is perfect for modern styles that demand both definition and drive.
CabSim Headphone Output, Aux Input & Chromatic Tuner
Ideal for silent practice and home use, the Crush Bass 100 is loaded with player-friendly features. The CabSim headphone output emulates the sound of a classic Orange bass cab, giving you a more authentic tone when practising with headphones. The aux input lets you plug in your phone or other audio device to jam along to tracks. And thanks to the built-in chromatic tuner, you’ll stay pitch-perfect without the need for extra gear or cables.
