Oranges at dawn - CR120 Vs Super Crush

Support the channel here - / davesimpson
Let me know which one your preferred and why. : )

[@natec4339]

Hi Dave, just wanted to thank you for continuing to do what you do. You really do change lives with your content. I've lived with chronic depression since I was 13. Yesterday I got a call saying that I'm being laid off at work, and I'm losing my health insureance. This is happening while I'm trying to put myself through grad school. I lost it. It felt like my brian literally shut off my ability to feel anything. I rewatched your older videos from Mental Health awareness week where you shared your story, and I honestly believe they're why I woke up this morning. Thank you. PS: I know that was probably a little heavy for the comments on an amp demo, but I posted here on the off chance you'd actually see it.

[@robertwhite9824]

Any company that makes solid state amps owes you gratitude. Truly good videos of solid state amps, and so forth, are hard to find in the way that you make them.. I'm sure you have changed many people's minds about solid state amps

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@rudranath_bln]

I compared both of these amp heads over the last two weeks and can recommend both. Though I decided to stick to my CR120 H. Oh the irony is that I always wished the CR would have a bit more brightness and be more in the foreground. The Super Crush is that indeed and it is a great amp! But when I had both amps side by side I learned (again) what it means to be "at home" at a specific amp, at a specific tone. I am so used to my CR120's dark sound. To me personally it has more of that Orange growl to it, a character of its own if you will, a bit more obstinate maybe, while new SC100 seems to be more oriented towards Marshall flavour. Just my 2 cents.

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Which one was louder (in terms of balls and punch) on the dirty?

[@TonyThanos]

@@ballsofdoom3124 I have both as well and to me the CR 120 seems to be louder and pushing more air to my ears

[@jazznotes3802]

Marshal flavour!? 🤔. It’s voiced to sound like the Rockerverb. (Same as the Crush Pro) Essentially tone hasn’t change, other than it’s closer to the “Valve Rockerverb”. The Cush Pro lacked clarity within it’s gain stages, because op amps are muddier sounding and don’t interact like valves do. JFET’s do interact much like valve do, just in a solid state format. So with the Super Crush you just have a update/improved version. Still has the Crush Pro tone, just much clearer and valve like because of the JFET’s. Then you have the “Orange Pedal Baby” power amp built inside for the power section. Which should be much better if your into using the fox return as a slave to another preamp, or a digital amp modeller. It also has improved headroom for using it as a pedal platform. So I’d say “better all round!”

[@milesskoog7675]

@@ballsofdoom3124 Also have both. CR120 is definitely a tad louder. CR 120 comes in around 84 watts into 16 ohms and 120 into 8 ohms. Super crush is about 70 watts into 16 ohms.

[@milesskoog7675]

That's funny. Exact same experience here. Own 2 CR120 heads, a CR60 combo, and now added a super crush 100 head. Exact same findings. Super crush isn't quite as loud, is definitely voiced to have a more robust upper mid sound. I found myself liking both the CR and SC, but still feel at home with the CR 120. Keeping both, but the super crush is the backup.

[@graemeroberts4791]

Both sound awesome, I can’t choose between them. I want to own both of them. P.S I became a patron today 👍👍 I think everyone who watches and appreciates what you do should consider becoming a patron because your awesome 👌👍

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. I really appreciate it and it really helps. :)

Dave, do your famous comparison between the Boss Katana Artist Mk II and Supercrush 100!

[@vadwanuu7825]

“I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my Orange Crush…” Sounds amazing as always, Dave. Both sound really good but i think i like the Super Crush a little more. Great vid, Sir!

[@BigSifu67]

Orange you glad you made this great video?😁 I've been waiting for this one!

[@Marley999888]

The playing was top notch here Dave.The old CR sounds better to me if I'm honest.

[@roosterj2599]

For me, the Super Crush is what I've been looking for in a 100w as head. Sounds great through my cheap Kustom 4X12 cab. Got the Orange 4X12 cab on the way. I play primarily metal. From Iron Maiden to Motley Crue to Metallica to Canibal Corpse and beyond. I also like to play some blues and funk. I'm a tad bit eclectic.

[@janneelias]

I really like the new one, but to me cr120 is superior. It sounds amazing in every style and genre, from palm muted chug to clean. If you need more presence, you can always combine it with some other amp, like a vox.

[@SmithWesson90]

Dave, YOU are the reason I own my CR120 2x12 combo. Dare I say...the Super100 sounded a hair bit juicier. . . Both are amazing.

[@blues4jesus]

Both amps are incredible, The Supercrush is more defined in the clairity, I noticed the notes rang clearer on the Supercrush. It does seem more valve like than the cr120 which I still like as well. So that being said Id think it would be more pedal friendly being more clear. Im gonna get the Supercrush combo asap. Dave once again you have confirmed to me Orange holds the British Crown for great amps and my love for Orange continues..could buy a Marshall Origin, Could Buy a Fender Bassbreaker but I feel this(these) Crush amps cover that territory and more...Oh yeah no tubes to replace or bias save money Yeppers.. Crush me man Crush me!!!!!

[@BigSifu67]

They are sooooo close. The Super Crush is a bit clearer sounding. I like that touch of presence. Both amps sound great, but I'd go Super Crush by a hair.

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Dave you and orange amps make the perfect music recipe!🙂🎸

[@frankhoermann4945]

I got a new cr 120 three month ago... and it s a win! Thanks for the Video David! Frank :-)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@gkott78]

I just bought the CR120H last night, plugged it into a PPC112 cab. Decision was made based on your tone videos. As tube amp snob, I am pretty impressed. I thought about ordering the Super Crush but the CR120 is fantastic. No regrets. Great Video Dave!

[@TinkerToneworks]

The PPC112 can only handle 60w, please don't blow your speaker

[@iancurrie8844]

@@TinkerToneworks The PPC112 is 16ohms. The AB power section will only output 70 Watts at 16ohms. The PPC112 is 60 Watts RMS, not peak. It will likely be fine, even dimed.

[@paulgrogan8032]

Being a "mostly" humbucker player....I'm really loving that 120. Taking absolutely nothing away from the super. Thanx Dave fabulous demo🤘👏

[@notryan1502]

First impressions: I will give credit where credit is due and say that the clean sound is superior in the Super. It really does seem like they have significantly improved the reverb, which justifies removing the switchable options. I’m a dirty player 99% of the time and I can’t conceivable justify swapping my CR60c for the new dirt channel. I heard a clear difference between the dirt channels here and the old CR120 was immediately better sounding to me

[@Danthehorse]

What switchable options have they removed?

[@notryan1502]

@@Danthehorse unless I’m mistaken it just has set spring reverb, not switchable between plate hall and spring like the previous model

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

How does the 60 hold up to these two? I need something for gigging, not really playing metal.

[@TinkerToneworks]

@@TwinCitiesOxygen it holds up. It's my main amp. It's loud enough that I use it as a bass amp for most medium sized club gigs. I got a 115 ampeg bass cabinet and I take the amp out of the combo and use it as a head. Very loud. Even with the combo speaker.

[@EdEddnEddyMercury]

Coming back to this video after awhile. I couldn’t get what you said about wishing the amp had 2 dirty channels out of my head. So I sat down with my cr60 and played with the knobs for a bit and was able to find a really nice clean tone by using high volume and low gain on the dirty channel. I still think the clean channel still serves a purpose, but it’s more for warm jazzy clean tones. To get a more rock/blues clean tone with some chime to it, you gotta use the dirty channel. I’m still discovering all this amp can do after owning it for nearly 4 years.

[@SvenMayhem]

They are both amazing, had the CR120 for a year, just pre-ordered the SC100. Thanks Dave!

[@cabinshedrecording3153]

The cr is the amp that I loved so much I bought it twice. After a stint of jumping through different valve amps I settled down into a blackstar ht20 mMKII and an orange rocker 15 terror. I sold my first cr when the rocker terror came out to fund it and found a good deal on market place trading my micro terror for another cr and remembered how much I loved it. Might have to get my hands on a super crush soon I think. Cheers Dave your channel has reminded me how much love I have for these amps, the age old battle between valve and SS really mean nothing.

[@graemedixon6314]

At 5.35 your phone went 'ding' and the first thing I did was check my phone for notification coz I thought it was mine lol

[@TheRosswise]

What I like most about the Super Crush is the used prices on the CR120 went way down. You can score a CR120 for a steal these days.

[@KevPez-IS]

Dave, I really appreciate you're down to earth style. No need for gear snobbery. You talk a bit, and let the tones do the rest of the talking.

[@NikWertMusic]

I just ordered the last super crush 100 off of sweet water today. You helped me pull the trigger on it before it was too late. Had my eye on it for seven months. Love the playing Dave. I’m used to using heavy beefy tube amps (my two Daily drivers are the Hughes and kettner grandmeister, peavey 6505+) but I wanted a good solid state in my corner other then my katana

[@nolarocks]

You could get a Swiss Things (EQD) - or an equivalent - and use both heads, which would then run out into whatever cabinet(s) you have. You could then pick which head you want to hear or choose both and hear them at the same time! :) Oh - and your effects could run through that too!

[@warshipsatin8764]

holy shit the dirty tone on the CR120. that is just a killer sound, man. the super crush sounds great too but the CR120 has more bite without being too trebly

[@recordatron]

I definitely feel you on the clean channel thing. The clean channel sounded a lot less sterile on the Super Crush. Surprisingly I think the clean channel on the MG actually beats both of them out. It's actually a pretty nice usable clean channel imo. All great amps and a great video sir!

[@calebtylershepherd21]

Yes! Been waiting for this video. Hope all is well Dave!

[@glenrappold5393]

Preferred the CR120 on both clean and dirty sounds. For me, the cr120 reminds me more of the tonal characteristics of the Orange tube amps I owned in the '70s. I own a cr60 and a PPC112 ext. cab an it's my go to set up. Been playing 58 years. Went back to S.S. in 2013 and never looked back. Also use an 80watt Roland Cube for jazz gigs. CR60 for everything else!

[@xXN0SK1LLZXx]

All round I’d pick the super crush. The sound for me was the sound I want. And since in my opinion they are very expensive so I’d pick that

[@brandonhupp464]

Orange to Oranges lol run them together for the ultimate 🍊🍊🔊

[@ORJeeper]

Hi Dave, I really enjoy your videos. I like the clarity of the SC100. I found a good deal on a demo model. I was just watching your video series about getting different tones out of the CR120. Can I use the settings you suggested in those videos as a good starting point for tones on the Super Crush 100 ? I also picked up an MXR EQ Pedal to play around with. Thanks Much.

[@christopher7310]

I LOVE the top end and cleans on the Super Crush....but.....I prefer the selectable reverb switch on the CR120. If I could find a black CR120H I would pic that up and be BEYOND happy with it. If the Super came with the same reverb switch, I wouldn't hesitate to grab it.

[@TimBoykinGuitar]

I just want to have as much fun as this guy. Having said that, great demo, and I’m mightily impressed by the Super Crush 100.

[@buzzfinger9509]

I got the cr120h last year, in 2020, after watching Dave's videos for several years, and I love it. Easy to use, but surprisingly versatile. It's a keeper. Maybe in the future, I'll get the sc100 too for the double win. Also, it seems like the cr120 production has stopped (or, at least, I don't see it being listed anymore, being replaced with the sc100 instead) which, in a way, makes me love it even more because it's a collectible now. Similarly, I've also gotten my Fender Mustang III v2 just before it got replaced with the first Mustang GT series. Once again, great video Dave!

[@danielcarter3928]

I think alot of people got into Orange because of the Crush series. Me myself I have a 35RT and absolutely love it. I play psych rock and blues, and am not necessary going for that stoner heavy tone, so the Super Crush 100 is exactly what I wanted as an upgrade from a 35RT. The Crush is just such a good amp at the price point that all sorts of people are using them, so I think it's really awesome they went in a more versatile brighter direction for the Super Crush 100 because that is what someone like me wants! I probably would've gone with the Fender Tone Master had the Super Crush 100 not been released. I love Orange!

[@LiamDarden]

I also have a 35rt and love it. I am thinking of also picking up the Super Crush for recording soon. How much of an upgrade is it compared to the 35rt?

[@mrpbody44]

A mid control on the clean channel on both amps would be heaven. I use the clean channel a lot. The Super Crush clean channel is better than the CR120 but I like the dirty channel on the CR120 better. The Orange CR and RT amps were a total game changer for me when I got them. Replacing my Vox AC50 and 61 Fender Bassman rigs. I play P90 equipped Gibsons and Modded Rickenbacker 330,610 and 360's. Playing surf, glam rock T.Rexy type stuff.

[@frankiec2765]

[@johnnorth9355]

I have not played through an Orange amp since my student days which was a very very very long time ago but can still remember the feeling of shock and awe that the 100 watt valve head produced in me. Sadly whilst I could afford one in later life I never had the need for one, as work dominated my time. I still don't need one but every time I see one advertised I get ridiculous urges to buy ! Videos like this don't help Dave :-).

Clean Channel on the Super Crush. Dirty Channel on the 120. Orange should combine the best of these two amps.

[@264boresteve]

I had already pre-ordered the SC100 before watching your video. I had the CR120 for a few years and it was an awesome amp. The CR was a little tricky for me to get just the tone I wanted on the dirty channel. A little too much gain and it would seem to “wash out” into a fizzy roar with no definition, mostly with humbuckers….not so much with single coils. I’m hoping the new SC will be a little easier to dial in with it’s clarity advantage. I loved my old CR and I’m sure I’ll love the new SC just as much, if not more. Thanks Dave for another awesome video! Keep them coming.

[@davidkneitel1840]

I know absolutely nothing about gear, but like you said, the clean on the Super Crush was brighter and crisp, and the distorted on the CR120 was nice because I like a dirty, gruntty sound when it's distorted.

[@davidsharp3675]

Thanks Dave… ive bought three orange amps based on your reviews. I do like both but the super crush sounds way better in terms of presence and definition. Super playing yet again 😎

[@kenleymorrison759]

I really like your sincere and true charisma and enthusiasm - and your personality adds value to our planet.

[@TwistedIdentity]

I own both now, with the intent of returning one once I decide which one I like. Even after comparing for several hours dif settings over and over.....I still can't decide. They both sound amazing and do their own thing. I actually like the clean channel more on the CR120 though it's more chimey.

[@TwistedIdentity]

So I went with the Super Crush....few months down the road I started missing the CR120. Sold the SC, bought the CR120 again. :P

[@blackie5566]

Thank you so much Dave for the great cmparison. Thanks to you I own the CR120 which I really love. However one day I will add the Super Crash. Or the say it with Robert Crays words: you are such a strong persuader - because of you I own a CR120 now ;-)

Dave you are the sole reason I bought my CR120C many years ago - no regrets, it's only got better with age as the speakers got worn in :) (by the way I think I prefer the CR120, to my ears just a tad warmer and juicier - plus I love the plate reverb on it (and 3 verb options) - no idea why they scrapped that on the supercrush

[@Mega_trav]

Thank you for being awesome

[@TitusKing101]

Dear Dave! Thanks for all your love on the Crush series of amps. I was a Rocker 15 owner and after selling it , I just bought the Super Crush and love it. My question to you is: what speakers and size cab would you recommend for this amp? I have heard to get the best out of Orange amps they like V30 speakers and big cabs. I definitely need to upgrade my cab and speaker and would love to hear your input. Thanks and keep them vids coming! You are a godsend.🤟🏻

[@robertwarner4412]

Hi Dave yeah they both sound great as. You say the 100 seems to sound a bit clearer to me anyway is there no way to fatten the sound of the clean channel..? Fender always seem to have the monopoly on that .? Maybe different speakers or cabs ? I don’t know ...lol nice one Dave keep up the good work thanks ..!

[@adonikam1]

SUPER CRUSH!! BEST AMP I'VE EVER OWNED...

[@dividedbytimestudios]

If KZbin used tubes, what kinda tubes would KZbin use?

[@tripledistilled2822]

There was definitely more reverb on the SC. What would the CR120 sound like if you compensated by increasing the reverb? I think this is a problem with comparisons that you can have similar settings on amps and guitars that sound different but you can also tweak one to sound like the other?

[@felinekaiju4517]

The Supercrush is the winner for me, I prefer the clean channel on that. I'm currently tossing up between the supercrush or the Katana Artist MKII. Option paralysis is real!. lol.

[@jesperjacobsen2463]

I think I'm partial to the SC for the cleans. I like the reverb better on that as well. Distorted sounds are great on both, but here I'm partial to the CR. I think the SC has a bit of fizz at the top, but it is really, really slim stuff. I obviously don't know, if there are major differences to the way it responds (tubes vs. transistor), but merely going from your video: I'd have a hard time justifying the difference in price, if I were in the market for an Orange here and now. Also, you are quite good at playing guitar.

[@cyclone159]

Yeah I'm getting one of these, if I don't like it I'm blaming you Dave.😆

My Thunderverb 200 is a monster. I wonder how it would compare in tone to these two. It sounds to me to be a fuller tone, but it's hard to tell in headphones.

[@Scoots1994]

Thanks Dave. One thing I can tell you for sure ... my back has to be stronger to load in and out with my amp than you do with yours :)

[@MrDizzygiz]

I dig the Super Crush 100. For the gain channel, and the reverb.

[@guitagious9464]

Thanks for the cool comparison, Dave! Don't forget to try the Bi-amp thing you mentioned in a previous video. Perhaps use the Super Crush for the High end shimmer and the CR120 for the low end bloom and girth. THAT would, no doubt, be an expansive sound!

[@blainetrahan8883]

Great review. Your playing is always awesome!!! Maybe my amps will sound better if I played as good as you!!!!

[@deanallen927]

I agree the clean channels should rock a bit, like a Deluxe or Princeton Reverb.

i prefer the look and layout of the SC100. would be great in stereo with my OR15.

[@manfrombritain6816]

I'm a bit confused by your eq settings - i heard that passive eqs (which these are i think?) should be set to 10 and then dialled back to taste, since they only cut from the signal rather than add to it but you've gone the opposite approach and almost cut everything

Dave, I’ve been looking forward to your shoot out / bake off between them mate 👍😎 I’ve been doing it for the last few weeks between my CR 120 and the Super crush 100 Through my Orange 4x12 cab and Harley Benton 2x Vintage Celestion 30s.upright cabinet. I agree with you Both are fantastic heads and the main reason I bought the Super Crush 100 head after seeing yours and Mr Orange (The man that designed it)Videos was because of its design and the DI connectivity Which I must add I’ve not tried yet . I was going to but I got a new PRS Mira Guitar from GAK and have been absolutely floored by how brilliant this guitar is.👍

Clean channel on CR is dull. SC is better but is too clean. CR dirty is darker. Ultimately, I'm sure they could be dialed closer, especially considering you leave the tone controls basically off haha

I've never known anyone who sets their eq like you . Absolutely no criticism just an observation. Nice playing

Hey Dave, I know you posted this a while back, but now you’ve had the newer Supercrush 100 for a while which would you Say you preferred, reason being, I’m after a Solid state Orange head myself, and the Crush pro 120 are going for a reasonable £220-£250 quid on eBay and reverb,I mean, that’s a really good price.

I think I'm going to be Happy with my new OCS100 I ordered it in black but the more I watch these videos the Orange 🍊 is starting to grow on me I use a Boss ME-80 I wish they would do a new video with The Orange Crush Super 100 and a Boss ME-80 pedalboard.

[@troycollins6069]

Hi Dave, to My ear, the new Amp seems to be set unequal to the old Amp,reverb wise

[@sid35gb]

The reverb is different the super crush it has just one option vs plate, spring and hall options on the Cr 120.

[@troycollins6069]

Dave if you turn up the reverb to 6 and the other one on 4. I think it will be a better tone, equal

[@skog9944]

Hmmm. Pretty hard. I always kinda disliked my dark Cr120 for the dark, "muddy" tone. But now I love it. Maybe because I got better playing at playing guitar ^^. Maybe I'll get the other one in a few years, too. But before that my Thomann 1x12 cab will have to be replaced by an orange cab. For the original Orange sound. It is as you say: Clean -> Super Crush Dirty -> Cr120H

[@coreyrini550]

Thank you for this video totally agree that the queen channel on the SC needs a gain ch. I just got that sc100 combo... And I'm really bummed out with it's so far but I've only had it for a day... I've heard some people online saying they take some time to break in...? I remember on the crush 120 Tambo you could keep the master kind of low on the clean channel and turn the volume way up and you could get that light od sound. ..

Thought the verb on the old one sounded more modulated, quite nice.

Hi Dave! Hope all is well. 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 cast light on my ignorance 🙂. 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

Sadly that is right. The amps very quiet. I’m not sure exactly why but the car beats it in volume significantly.

@@thedavesimpson Thanks a lot for the reply Dave! Appreciate! And rock on \m/

Clean on the super crush👍 But a little transistor sounding on distortion were as the cr was outstanding on distortion but like you say,the DNA is very apparent 👍

I prefer the clean sound of the super crush 100 but playing dirty I’d prefer the cr120 because like you said the cr is darker. I think splitting guitar signal into both amps for stereo would sound amazing (please make a vid of it) Regardless I’m getting the super crush, just so I can follow your tone like when I bought the cr120. Great vid looking forward to more jam music.
