Orange Crush 20RT BK Solid-State Combo

Orange Crush 20RT Black — 20W Analogue Combo Amp with Reverb and Tuner

The Orange Crush 20RT Black is a 20-watt, twin-channel analogue combo guitar amplifier that brings the unmistakable sound of Orange to a compact, practice-friendly format. Finished in black with cream grille cloth, this 20RT adds a lush digital reverb and an onboard chromatic tuner to the original Crush 20 formula. Players wanting genuine character — from sparkling cleans to saturated overdrive — without hauling a full stack will find this model to be the ideal choice.

What makes this model stand out in its class

Unlike most practice amps that rely on digital modelling, the unit keeps an all-analogue signal path from input to speaker, giving players the lively feel the manufacturer is famous for. CabSim-loaded, the headphone output emulates a miked-up Orange 4x12" cabinet, so silent practice still feels like a stage performance. The reverb module is a digital spring-style design with an analogue dry-through path, preserving the guitar's core tone as ambience is blended in.

Power and speaker — the heart of the tone

The 20-watt output and custom 8-inch Voice of the World speaker deliver the wide-ranging response that has made this brand a stage icon. At practice-friendly volume, the clean channel stays sparkling and the dirty channel moves from crunch to full saturation.

• Output power of 20 W provides sufficient headroom for both home practice and small gigs.
• Speaker: custom 8" Voice of the World — Orange-designed driver
• Channels: 2 (Clean and Dirty), footswitchable

Controls and connectivity

A 3-band EQ, dedicated gain and volume per channel, and a global reverb knob give players immediate hands-on tone shaping. The rear panel hosts a footswitch jack for hands-free channel switching, while the top panel adds an Aux In and a CabSim-equipped headphone output for silent recording.

• EQ: Bass, Middle, Treble — classic 3-band shaping shared by both channels
• Footswitch Input: Yes (rear panel, footswitch sold separately)
• Headphone Output: Yes, CabSim-loaded — emulates an Orange 4x12" cabinet

Build, dimensions, and portability

This combo keeps the iconic look with the famous pics-only control layout and a stage-tough cabinet. At 7.2 kg it is light enough to carry to band practice and small enough to fit on a desk.

• Dimensions measure 37.5 × 32.5 × 19.7 cm.
• Weight: 7.2 kg
• Finish: Black with cream grille cloth

Who this amplifier is for

It is the right choice for guitarists who want real analogue tone in a compact, affordable package. Bedroom players will appreciate the CabSim-loaded headphone output, while the footswitchable Clean and Dirty channels make it a strong gigging tool. Beginners get a forgiving, responsive amp, and experienced players get a portable backup.

Half a century of British amp heritage

The company has been building amplifiers in the UK for over fifty years, and the unmistakable look — bold tolex, pics-only control layout, and signature sound — has made the brand a stage and studio icon. The Crush series brings that heritage into a solid-state, practice-friendly format, and this 20-watt combo is the most feature-rich member of the family.
