Orange Crush Pro 120 vs. Super Crush 100 - in a Mix | Re-CRUSHING Tones | Pedal in the Clean

[@graysonwilson-cacciapalle7989]

Okay, after watching a lot of crap demos of the super crush, this actually shows the differences in a fair way. I have the crush pro, but now I want the super crush, it has a little more power in the transients of notes/chords and sounds powerful as hell

Great comparison, I feel like I can finally hear the differences that everyone has been talking about (120 darker, 100 brighter and tighter low end) in this video, thanks alot! I definitely prefer the supercrush 100 for note definition on multi-note multi-string open sections where clarity of notes can get lost.

[@MilesSkoog]

Easily the best A/B comparison that exists on these amps. I currently own both. This is a DEAD accurate representation. Still can't decide which I like better. I do like that the CR120 doesn't need to be nearly as high on the master volume to accomplish the same volume, especially in a stoner rock/metal context.

Absolutely incredible playing. Man it’s hard to pick a favorite. I really dig the new one with the single notes and the old one with the chords. Sometimes it’s even hard to tell the difference. Great demo. Both really sound fantastic.

[@tonemorphdan]

Yeah. To me too it's still hard to decide. I like so much the dirty channel of the new one! It's more dynamic and I also dig the mids spectrum. But I'm missing that scooped clean that I could get from the previous model. Be or not to be... Crush or supercrush. That's the question!

[@michaelmills7543]

The price of these amps are so reasonable why not both? 😊

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

The mids are EQed at a more Marshalling sound on the Super Crush 100 while the CR120 is typical Orange scooped low mids which make sit a darker sounding amp without help. Want both sounds, put an EQ pedal in the loop of the CR120. That's that I did! I personally prefer the C120 as an Orange amp and if I want the chugs back, just boost it with an MXR od badass modified with the mid point boosted and/or use an EQ pedal in the loop.

[@graemedixon6314]

The super crush has a bit more overall presence and maybe mids. But the crush pro could be eq'd to get pretty close.

[@nickmetal131]

I was waiting for this and, holy shit, it did not disappoint! Fantastic job and great tones from both amps. These things deliver quality sound for a quarter of the price of their tube counterpart. However, I'm glad I pre-ordered the Super Crush 100. It's going to sound massive alongside my Soldano Avenger.

I really can't say I prefer one over the other. The Pro 120 is more darker for sure, which I like. I am not convinced the Super Crush is better, it is very similar but also different. I like aspect of both. At the end of the day both are fantastic amps. I have owned my Crush Pro 120C for about 2 years and am very happy with it, so I don't think I would buy the Super Crush right now.

both amps rock as hell! The Crush Pro 120 sounds darker deeper and richer (yeah because it's a 120 watt amp lol) than the Super Crush 100 which has more higher frequencies and it's less chonky. It's a matter of taste

They're both absolutely fantastic amps. The super has a tighter tone and notes can be heard clearer. The pro has a raw dirty sound perfect for those aggressive tones. You can't go wrong with any of them. It's all about preference.

Exceptional demo. Man, it's close. Essentially a one notch difference in the mids and treble. Frankly, hard to justify getting a super crush unless my CR120 dies. I also like how the CR120 clean channel can break up.

[@IAmJKey]

I like how the clean channel breaks as well. Lots of Doom guys (Fuzz Lord dude for one) would prefer it didn't break up so it's a better pedal board platform (for him). My board is designed around amp breakup so the cr120 kills.

[@milesskoog7675]

Outstanding demo. Definitely captures the differences. SC has a little more definition and bite. As an owner of both, some things you can't hear: The sweep on the volume and gain of the SC on dirt channel are more usable all the way up where the CR is pretty much fuzz past 9:00 on gain and master volume has no difference passed around 2:00 p.m.

[@Nelbokelbo]

[@sams.4388]

Excellent demo. I appreciate that you are not sponsored. Too many reviews are done by guys who received free guitar from the company they are supposed to be un-biased about. To me, they sound very similar. I think the Crush 100 sounds a tad bit brighter. The Crush Pro 120, which I have, sounds a bit more Lo-Fi, if that makes any sense. I've heard from several people that the cleans on the Chrush 100 are better. What is your opinion? And if a person were to just purchase one of these, which would you recommend? Which is more versatile?

[@vincenzoerriquenz2356]

I love both amps! The Crush pro 120 has still the best clean, chiming channel, but the Super Crush has that saggy, warmer tone typical of a vintage tube head, which it makes the Ideal for distorted tones by itself or with pedals( the Kuro 120 sounds best with the Super Crush)!👌🏼✨

[@tonemorphdan]

Yeah, the clean channel of the 120 can sound scooped which is something that I always enjoyed. The clean of the 100 has mids everywhere!. About the Dirty channel: the Supercrush has less gain but it's more dynamic.

[@jazznotes3802]

@@tonemorphdan Interesting, as Orange tech director, Ade Emsley says “it has the same amount of gain, just the four stages kick in much later on the dial.” I guess it’s something that needed to happen in order to keep the JFET’s reacting tube like. Considering JFET’s work very much like tubes, compared to the Op Amps found within the Crush 120.

@@LiveFast135i Nothing stoping you from running that into the FX loops return, bypassing the amplifier’s preamp and just using the power-amp section.

A two guitar band with one of each would be the way to go. I have a CR120H and love it. The SC100 is cool but can sound a little thin at times, imo. The CR120 just sounds thicker overall to me.

[@JimmyWatfordGuitar]

Yeah I'm happy that the super crush exist. However, just put an eq pedal with the crush pro and get whatever you want. I've been searching for a "better amp" than my cr60 for a few years, even purchased a few, but they got returned after a/b ing back and forth. I think the difficult part for me is the longer I look for "better", the more my ear gets used to the "better" being the crush pro series.

I found the Super Crush a bit brighter than the Crush Pro. I kept the Crush Pro, then sold that and went for a Rockerverb MK2 50w

[@philipmentzingen9271]

Excellent demo. I own the Super Crush 100. Bought it when it came out here in Europe last October. Its really important to use the right cab with these amps, the bigger the better as it grinds more and takes some of the harsh highs away. I always have the preamp volume dimed and the gain turned up to taste. This is when it shines at its best! Btw, throw a graphic equalizer into the effects loop as the eq on the amp is a bit too passive for my taste. Trust me, you will not regret it. The clean channel has no bright cap according to Ade the designer, which is good as it makes it super pedal friendly. The reverb on the amp is digital, but it sounds great and smokes all of those on the CR120.

[@tonemorphdan]

Thanks Philip. And yes, the cab is very important! I already tried some eq in the loop but I like the amp as it is!

[@13aphomet]

Hey Phillip, I have a question for ya.. (thinking bout buying one of these) these amps state that you get the full power when paired with 8ohms.. It gets cut down if you're using 16ohm. I see most 4x12 cabs are 16ohm.. So wouldn't that mean it would be better paired with an 8ohm 2x12? I'm confused about this. How do I get a 412 cab and still get full power? Lemme kno what you think..

[@tonemorphdan]

@@13aphomet you'll get enough volume with 16 ohm too!

[@philipmentzingen9271]

@@13aphomet Hey there! it depends what youre using it for. I assume your´re gigging so I would go with a 2x12 at 8 ohms. I prefer closed back. Sounds thicker and fuller. Speaker choice is up to you but i love the V30 for this amp and even a greenback or G12H30 or a mix. I had an Eminence Reignmaker in my cab before that. Worst speaker ever for that amp. super brittle. Quality of the cab is really important and also no one wants to haul a 4x12 anymore least of all me as i have lower back problems. One tip: keep the channel volume dimed, and the master volume set to taste. I have mine at noon. Plenty loud! My 2 cents🙂

Wow. The 100 sound so much better. I wouldn’t have thought it would even make a difference on a distortion pedal into clean. That’s where the 120 sounded like a pedal into a pedal, and the 100 sounded like pedal into tube preamp. I want the super crush pretty badly 😊

I just got the CR120. I heard the clean channel takes fuzz pedals well but i was dissapointed actually: they sound kinda fizzy and trebly like in the kuro comparison at the end. BUT!! The dirty channel oh my god... you can set the dirt very low and make it sound almost exactly the same as the clean channel, and it takes fuzz pedals so damn well. Punchy, with a lot of low end and good enough presence... sounding similar as the crush pro 100 with the kuro at the end. I got a lot of dirt and fuzz pedals so I never use the amps dirt, so Im fine having it as my only channel, and im so damn happy with the sound.

[@tonemorphdan]

About the clean channel I'd say that depends by the pedal that you're using. I usually put highs and bass between 13 and 14 o' clock if I want a flat sound, highs at 12 for less fizzy and high at 15 with maxed bass for scooped clean.

[@lexhitreset]

Sick demo!!

[@jeremyswindle3335]

I have the CR120 and must say the Super Crush in this demo sounds like it has the superior dirty channel. Sure you might be able to get the Pro to sound somewhat close but it's always going to sound a bit wooly and dark by comparison. HOWEVER, when it comes to cleans the pro has that little bit of bassman-esque grit that makes it sound so delicious for fuzzes. If I had to pick one I'd go with the Super just because of how good that dirty channel sounds. But for now I'll stay dooming with the clean channel on my CR120 and Chicago Stompworks Blue Bear. Great demo, both amps are awesome in their own ways. The pedal you're using at the end sounds like a Boss Hyper Fuzz.

That was a very well made and detailed video! Which one is your favourite now? Also we need a "Let's crush that tone" The Sword edition!!

[@Adrin1117]

Damn they both sound great. But I prefer the dirty channel of the 100. And it's SUPPOSED to be a better pedal platform. The clean sounds are a little better on the 120 to my ears but I'd probably never use it for a straight clean sound so it'd be the 100 for me....

[@Forests0fFantasy]

I actually liked the T120 in the CR120 more, myself. And I liked the cleans of the CR120 more. I did like the single notes of the Pro 100 more, however.

Hiya! I recently purchased the SC100 and decided to compare it with my CR120. Upon a few playing tests I start to think the head might be faulty. Maybe you can help me here. Upon testing one against the other what I noticed is that there's a significant difference in volume. Running both heads through a 4x12 16ohm cab, the CR120 can make the walls shake at half volume already whilst the SC100 maxed out still sounds quiet, at bedroom level. Would that be alright? Also, through the dirty channel, the CR120 sounds more "metal" for the lack of a better term whilst the SC100 sounds more "Zeppelin" at the same settings. Again, is that to be expected? Thanks Vinny

[@tonemorphdan]

About "metal" and "zeppelin" I'd say that is a matter of taste. About the volume: the SC100 is slightly less powerful than the 120. So, except if you're not doing anything wrong like connecting 2 head at the same moment in the same cab, there's something wrong.

I'm Honored. Great choice \m/

Classic CR120 has an all-round deeper tone to it

[@crazeyjoe]

My preference is the Super Crush 100 due to the more mid focus and clarity.

[@danielcarter3928]

man i am so stuck between getting the Super Crush 100 head with the PPC112 cab or the OR15 head with the PPC112 cab. i currently have a Crush 35RT and i love it but i just want more! the Super Crush wouldn’t be that much cheaper than the OR15 used, and i’m kinda curious about the tube hype but at the same time the Super Crush has built in reverb! i play garage rock / stoner rock / psych rock / doom. i am totally stumped and can’t find them to test in person. i use a handful of dirt pedals, and play at my apartment so manageable and low volumes is a must ! anyone have any advice?!

[@tonemorphdan]

Here we go. I'd go for the supercrush all the way. It takes pedals way better than the or15. With the extra money that you'll save from the or15 I'd go for a 2x12 cab. Plus: you'll never get a decent clean at high volumes with the or15 and the crunch will compress a lot because of high master volume in live contexts. PS the genres are not defined by gear. Doom is a feeling, not gear! 🤘🏻😎. Cheers!

@@tonemorphdan okay awesome man! so you’ve played the OR15? i actually am leaning towards the Super Crush because of the reverb. now im thinking of getting the combo, but a head and cab seems sweet. big decisions lol. i really appreciate your help.

[@tonemorphdan]

​@@danielcarter3928 The OR15 was the first orange that I tried long time ago. I've met that amp again in my life but I realized that it's more a recording-studio-amp or practice amp if I want to archive a modern/vintage sound. It has very little headroom to me

[@BrandonKJohnson]

List of songs played PLEASE!!!

[@C0nnie]

what cab/speakers were this? I have a CR120 and it sounds literally studio quality crystalclear through my no-name chinese 2x12 lol. I finally upgraded to real cabs and that clarity is just gone and it almost sounds like a small practice amp now. I'm kind of losing my mind over it lol

[@tonemorphdan]

Hi, I used the Orange PPC212 closed back equipped with stock vintage v30

[@hyperstimmed]

Sounds like the Super Crush has sharper mids

[@Dmaher1111]

when you plug in the D.I. out does it still play through the real speaker or do you have to monitor it separate? and vice versa if you unplug the speaker out can you monitor separate through the D.I. out without using a speaker cabinet??

[@tonemorphdan]

It still plays through the real speaker and yes, works also without the speaker

[@SilentJayBird]

Boosting with a Boss FZ-2... or it's clone, in the BehringerBehringer SF300?

[@tonemorphdan]

Nope

CR cuts a little more in the mix but I love the Super's darkness.

[@tonemorphdan]

To me is the contrary. SC cuts more and the CR is darker
