    About the Orange Crush 12.
    The Orange Crush 12 is a miniature practise amp which is pretty spot on for most styles and calibre of guitar player. With its impressively compact size and weight, 6" speaker, badass Orange looks, powerful cleans and fizzy distortion, CabSim and headphone output it just about ticks all of the boxes.
    Have a listen and see what you think.

    Orange Crush 12 owner here the cleans are amazing. I'm another former Fender only player. I've played the Crush 20RT and 35RT and like this the best. The Overdrive knob is so much better than the dirty channels on their other amps. For Garage Rock, Blues, Rockabilly, Punk, and Country it serves me well. Takes pedals with no issue. I thought I *HAD* to have a tube amp until I met the Crush 12. For home playing it's perfect. If Im ever in a band again I'll get a Rocker 15.

    It doesn't HAVE to sound fizzy..!
    just bought one. You are right; the clean sound surprised me, as I'm a 30+ year Fender backline user... don't often get impressed by other clean sounds.
    SUBSCRIBED!

You may want to view that video before you decide. A lot of the reviews said the Marshall sounded best for distortion. Hope that's helps a little.

      Both amps are great and both have a closed back design. both deliver a heavy tone but the orange sounds a bit more thicker. The orange gives you more control on the overdrive than the frontman because its a knob instead of a button. The orange is a bit more expensive than the frontman, but still i recommend the orange.

      Hey Tristen! You shouldn't really, but if you put anything under too much stress then inevitably it will break! Don't play huge beats through it and stick to guitar and you should be fine. If you're running the amp flat out all the time it suggests that you may need something more powerful than a practise amp.

      Hey dude! It was a little while ago so I can't remember exactly, but, whenever I use any amp I put all controls at 12 o'clock and tend to leave them there (I might occasionally push the mids or the gain a little). That really is it. I don't know if that helps you much at all!!!

      I got both a Vox Mini G2 and a Vox VX50 modeling tube amp, and I love both of those. The Mini has a shocking amount of power and FX galore for a 3 watt amp,
      and the Vox VX50 is a sheer monster that models everything, even some heavy metal high gain channels, and sounds stupendous even at a bedroom volume. The Pathfinder
      is ok but the latter two Vox amps are much better in my humble opinion. The Orange isn't a modeling amp but it does sound great, for blues clean or hard rock sounds.
      I wouldn't bother with it for metal.
