Orange Crush Bass 50 50W 1x12" Bass Guitar Combo Amplifier - Orange

Delivering the unmistakable warmth, punch, and character of Orange Amplification, the Orange Crush Bass 50 is a versatile 50-watt bass combo designed for musicians who demand exceptional tone and flexibility in a compact, portable package. Featuring a fully analog signal path, custom 12-inch speaker, active three-band EQ with sweepable parametric midrange, and a blendable overdrive circuit, the Crush Bass 50 offers impressive sonic versatility for home practice, rehearsals, recording, and smaller live performances.

At the heart of the amplifier is Orange's fully analog circuitry, designed to preserve the natural character, responsiveness, and dynamics of the instrument. Its custom 12-inch speaker is housed in a rear-ported cabinet, enhancing low-frequency projection and delivering a rich, full-bodied bass response with excellent clarity and definition. With 50 watts of output power, the Crush Bass 50 provides ample volume for serious practice and smaller ensemble settings.

One of the amplifier's standout features is its powerful active three-band EQ, incorporating a sweepable parametric midrange control. Unlike conventional fixed-frequency midrange controls, this system allows players to select the specific midrange frequencies they wish to boost or cut, offering exceptional flexibility for shaping everything from deep, vintage-inspired bass tones to articulate, aggressive modern sounds.

The Crush Bass 50 also features Orange's distinctive Blend and Gain circuit, inspired by the company's professional bass amplifier designs. This system allows players to introduce harmonic grit, warmth, and saturated overdrive while retaining the fundamental clarity and low-frequency impact of their clean signal. The overdrive function can be activated using an optional footswitch, making it especially useful for dynamic performances and transitions between clean and driven tones.

A fully buffered effects loop provides convenient integration with external pedals and processors, allowing bassists to expand their sound without compromising signal clarity. A dedicated -6dB input pad accommodates instruments with higher-output pickups, making the amplifier suitable for both active and passive bass guitars.

For silent practice, the Crush Bass 50 includes a headphone output equipped with Orange's CabSim speaker cabinet emulation, delivering a natural amplified bass sound through headphones. An auxiliary input allows players to connect backing tracks or external audio sources, while the integrated chromatic tuner provides convenient tuning without additional equipment.

Finished in Orange's iconic bright orange basketweave vinyl with classic grille styling and signature control graphics, the Crush Bass 50 combines traditional British amplifier aesthetics with modern functionality.

Whether you're looking for a powerful practice amplifier, a versatile rehearsal combo, or a compact bass rig for smaller performances, the Orange Crush Bass 50 delivers authentic Orange tone, expressive control, and exceptional everyday versatility.
