Orange · amplifier
The Orange Super Crush 100 is a 100-watt solid-state guitar combo with a JFET-based analog gain circuit, footswitchable clean and dirty channels, onboard reverb, and an effects loop. Designed to deliver thick, high-gain Orange tone without tubes, it is a powerful, road-ready amp for rock and metal players wanting big volume and the brand's crunch at a lower price and weight than the Rockerverb.
