Mate u seem like a beginner urself unless ur a Jazz guitarist who tried to improvise for the first time in this, u made a cool ass amp sound bad and it might be that mic but the playing was very interesting 😂🤘

[@ab_cubing]

with headphones or cabinet sound changes a lot but for the price it offers great features, build quality and decent sound good enough to practice

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

yes, especially with a cab, this little thing can rock!! Thanks for commenting!

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

For shits and giggles I drilled guitar strap hooks onto it so I can just wear it and play mobile. I do agree that it’s better as a head though. That 8 ohm output is really that surprise tool that can help us later

[@NEO_Trojanmuldrop4]

I hate the gain in this amp sounds cheap.... BUT... plug in a pedal, leave it on clean..... and you can get some nice sound out of it, I bought this for when I’m done playing my main amp, and while laying in bed if I get the URGE... I just plug it in, and use some headphones and I’m cool with it 😎

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Thanks for commenting and pointing that out man!👍😎 ordered Behringer UM300-distort pedal Monday, I have to test that out w/ this Orange👌

[@SermonFapple]

You buy the orange mini for the 8 ohm jack. It turns into a genuinely serviceable head when you need the orange sound (yes it really sounds like an orange)

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

100% true, I still own this little amp because of this. Great backpack Orange amp head👌😎 thanks for commenting😊👍

[@patricknelson1471]

i like what orange did a funny little amp with its own character when i want proper sound i play on a bigger amp

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Thanks for commenting! Great that this works for you😊👍 I just tested other amps on this price range and was not satisfied with what this has to offer out of the box, but I'm super excited to test this with a cabinet!😎

@@guitaristnextdoor8430 i have fender mustang 25 for different sounds, i didnt want another complicated amp just plug and play and use with battery also its funny rocking with that thing didnt want something that will compete with my main amp.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

@Patrick Nelson Fender Mustang LT25 is a great one! 👌😎😊

[@TroyNaumu808]

As a speaker head it is the only good use for the Orange Crush Mini.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

True indeed! Thanks for commenting MR. Troy! 😊👍

[@TroyNaumu808]

@@guitaristnextdoor8430 That is what I use mine for. I keep mine on clean and plugged into a cabinet. I actually velcrowed it to the cabinet lol.

Hello. As a beginner (still practicing chords) what would be the best mini amp to use with headphones? THX

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Hello! I like the Boss Katana Mini the most, Blackstar Fly 3 is a good one too. Of course the sound quality is not breath-taking, but solid still. Thx for commenting!

[@cecilm3720]

@@guitaristnextdoor8430Thanks for sharing. My local store recommended the Blackstar Debut 10E (it's also 30% cheaper than the Katana). And I am intrigued by an amplug (like the Valetron Rushead Max), as I don't really need a speaker.

[@tomisham9900]

I have one and I agree it is good clean sounds at low volume. Does the paint on your amp scratch easily? Mine does!

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Thanks for commenting Tom!😊👍 The paint has not yet scratched of easily....but I've only had this for 4 months.😎 Did yours start dropping paint easily out of the box or did it took some time?

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Sry man I accidentally removed your reply😂😂😂😅But I read it before my hassle😂 My Orange mini is fine, plus I had Orange Crush 20RT on my testing for a couple of weeks, and it was fine too..so I'm not agreeing that all oranges amps have this problem, weird that the seller said that😕let me know what you get as an answer from orange😎

[@tomisham9900]

@@guitaristnextdoor8430 I will let you know.

Should I buy this or marshal mini ms4 or blackstar fly 3

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

ofc, it depends on what kind of stuff you are going to play... I have not tested that marshall, it was out of stock when I ordered these amps for my testing...but still, I would choose Blackstar for sure. it's a really nice little amp👌😎 thanks for commenting👍😊

@@guitaristnextdoor8430 thanks for replying

[@TroyNaumu808]

Unless you want to spend the extra money to get a extension cabinet or you if already have one then it is a ok amp to buy. Otherwise get the Boss Katana Mini or the Blackstar Fly 3. With the Marshall you may or may not run into the same problem in sound quality as the Orange Crush Mini. I once owned the Fender version of a mini battery amp and it was just as disappointing in sound quality as the Orange Crush Mini. With the exception of the Boss Katana and the Blackstar Fly 3 most of the others do not make these devices seriously and simply push them off as a novelty that makes noise. When connected to a extension cabinet the Orange Crush Mini is very thirsty and the 9v battery powering up both will not last very long. So getting a rechargeable 9v battery or if you have a strong enough rechargeable power supply that will help with that issue. One other plus with this mini other than the cabinet speaker out is it does take pedals well and pedals will improve the sound quality. But by iteself it is not impressive.

[@jmanned]

I ended up getting a b-stock one from them, waiting for it to come in the mail. I liked that it runs one one 9v battery, has a built in tuner, the sound for metal/hard rock, headphone jack and output connection. The main criticism of sound quality from the speaker seems to be a valid one going by all the reviews… but I think for just practicing and playing in the backyard with the headphone jack in it’s going to be fine).. and if I ever get a cabinet speaker it’s going to be a lot of fun.

[@Letsunboxguys]

Tell me pleade that marshal mg10gold is good or marshal 10cf silver

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Unfortunately I dont know much about the silver one, its not available anymore where I live😅
