In More Detail

The Crush Bass 50 is a compact powerhouse designed for bassists who want pro-grade tone in a versatile, portable format. Built around an all-analogue signal path driving a 12” speaker, it delivers deep, punchy lows and warm harmonic overtones, with enough headroom and clarity for serious practice and smaller live shows. The active three-band EQ includes a sweepable parametric midrange, giving players precise control to sculpt their tone and cut through any mix.

A standout feature is the blendable overdrive circuit, which adds everything from subtle grit to aggressive growl, all while keeping your low-end intact. Practical touches like a buffered effects loop, built-in tuner, and line-level aux input make it easy to integrate with your rig or jam along with your favourite tracks. And when you want to keep the volume down, the headphone output is loaded with Orange’s CabSim technology for authentic-sounding silent practice. The Crush Bass 50 proves that small amps can still pack a serious punch.

Powerful Active Parametric EQ

Unlike the fixed mids of many compact bass amps, the Crush Bass 50 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 50 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 50 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. 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 50 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.
