Orange's iconic amps and cabs have been the literal heartbeat of modern music, from Woodstock to Ozzfest. So imagine our delight at the announcement of the Crush Acoustic 30 — a 30-watt portable acoustic amp with that familiar Orange style and flavor which can run off batteries or wall power. Its two channels — instrument and vocal, or dual guitars — sound lush and balanced through its tilt-back birch ply cabinet and specially voiced 8" World speaker. The Orange Crush Acoustic 30 also includes an effects loop for choosy stomp and preamp integration, an 1/8" auxiliary input for jamming along to backing tracks, and pre- and post-EQ outputs for routing signals to a mixing board or interface.
2 channels, 30 watts
When it comes to Orange output, 30 watts is plenty of horsepower to crank up and be heard. Whether you're a singer-songwriter or loop jammer, the Crush Acoustic 30 gives you the tools to amplify and monitor yourself accurately, from the stage or the street corner.
Shared reverb and chorus
You also get a billowy reverb and creamy acoustic chorus right onboard the Crush Acoustic 30. These effects are global and can be distributed to either channel using the middle knob of the orange-colored FX section.
Battery or wall operation
For grab-and-go practice sessions to the remotest stages on earth, the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 hooks up you with 3–8 hours of battery operation (via 10 AAs). So if you've got the juice, playing cafes to subway stations is as easy as drop, plug, and play. And for traditional stage and studio setups, the Crush Acoustic 30 also includes a DC power adapter.
Onboard effects loop
Most players will agree that time-based effects — your premium digital reverbs and delays — sound best uncolored by amp's preamp section. Other pedals, such as external preamps and drive pedals, tend to sound better into the input of your amp. That's why the Crush Acoustic 30 gives you an effects loop, so you can experiment with all your stomps and FX units to achieve your desired sound.
