Orange Crush 20

There are numerous options for apartment dwellers such as myself to have a good/great sounding guitar sound, but sacrifices always have to be made (usually, financial ones). But for the price of a good pedal, now I have this awesome looking little amp that allows me to finally just plug in and play, and just have fun with the guitar. Given, it’s not as dynamic and full as it’s bigger tube-driven siblings, but it’s not as far off as the price would lead you to believe.

With a P90 loaded mustang, I’m in punk heaven, and a Jaguar gets me everywhere else I’d like to go. It takes pedals fairly well (some overdrives may sound a bit muddy, but it’s nothing that some knob tweaking can’t fix), and now I get to play in the middle of the night without ever being heard by neighbors. The headphone out works great, and I even played around with it for some direct recording.

If you’re in the position of just needing a straightforward guitar amp that sounds great at low volumes, looks awesome, and fits in the majority of budgets, this is probably the perfect find.
