The Orange Crush Acoustic 30 from the British cult company is a practical acoustic guitar amplifier that is ideal for singer/songwriter performances in clubs and pedestrian areas. The handy acoustic combo features separate channels for guitar and microphone, whereas the effects section with chorus and reverb provides the most popular effects for acoustic guitar and vocals. A finely adjustable notch filter also helps to suppress unwanted feedback. Up to 30 watts of power and an 8" Voice of the World full-range speaker provide powerful and detailed output for both instrument and vocals. An FX loop and a balanced XLR output complete the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 Combo.

Separate channels for guitar and microphone

At the heart of the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 amplifier, there are separate channels for guitar and microphone, perfectly tailored to their intended use. In addition to a gain control, the guitar channel offers a 3-band EQ for precise sound adjustment and a pad switch for lowering the input sensitivity of high-output pickup systems. Furthermore, a colour preset enhances the presence of the sound image and slightly reduces the midrange spectrum. Besides the gain control, the microphone channel of the Orange Crush Acoustic is equipped with a 2-band EQ for adjusting the tone. If a condenser microphone is to be used, the mic channel provides switchable phantom power. A Mic/Line switch helps to adjust the input sensitivity.

Effects and notch filter

The Orange Crush Acoustic 30 features an FX section that includes reverb and chorus, the most popular effects for guitar and vocals. The Effects control not only switches between the two effect types, but also determines their depth, whereas the Level control determines the general effect volume. Another practical detail is the Blend control, which determines the amount of wet signal in both channels. The serial FX loop can be used to add additional effects. In addition to the Master Volume control, the Master section of the Orange Crush Acoustic features a Notch Filter, adjustable between 50 Hz and 6 kHz, which helps to suppress unwanted feedback.

30 Watt power that can be battery operated and extensive connections

With up to 30 watts of power and the 8" Voice of the World full-range speaker, the Orange Crush reproduces the sound spectrum of both acoustic guitar and vocals with fine detail and lively dynamics. With the option of operating on ten AA batteries, the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 is not only suitable for gigs on the club stage, but can also be used for spontaneous performances in the park or pedestrian zone. Backing tracks can be played back via the Aux-In. Last but not least, the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 features a balanced XLR output and an unbalanced line out for picking up the signal in larger venues with their own PA.
