Title: Orange Super Crush 100 - potentially the best current discrete transistor amp!
Post by: joecool85 on January 03, 2022, 03:40:42 PM
Orange has released the Orange Super Crush 100 (https://orangeamps.com/super-crush-100/).  They have this as a head as well as a combo unit.  According to designer Ade Emsley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niW32OS0iY0), this amp doesn't use opamp circuitry but rather single ended jfet transistors.  With two circuits, reverb, and independent eq sections for clean and overdrive, this unit really rocks.  It has what I consider to be (from the video clips) the best sounding solid state overdrive sound I've heard.  This is worth a listen, check out Ty Tabor's demo here:

MSRP is $499 USD for the head, $699 for the combo.
