Orange Crush Mini Black - Retoure (Zustand: sehr gut)

Smaller, better finished and louder than expected. Per AuxIn also not bad at all in music playback.

To my ears, the Egitarre also goes more in the direction of amp / box than some others, Some videos on the net show how the can sound with microphone pickup. In fact, you can get a lot of different timbres out of it with the gain and volume controls and the pot on the guitar and quickly bend them with the shape control. In the process, you'll always come across timbres that you've somehow heard before in this or a similar way.

But of course you can't expect the big sound with the small power and the small speaker. So there is no real bass, but from about 150Hz something happens. At low input levels, clean single notes or picking sound a bit nasal. At higher input levels it sounds rounder, but the amp already crunches a bit. Also clean chords will probably always be a bit crunchy. There is also less real string separation. And, like all speakers, it doesn't sound as good as it can when played too soft. My impression: a little higher room volume is often best. But he also does not like too loud, then it mashes too much.

"De een sin uhl is de annern sin nachtigall" was the old saying in Platt. And so the tonal basic character and the tendency to distortion are just the strengths. Really thin transistor distortion a la Crass? No problem. Singing leads? No problem. Standing 70s chords with proper distortion and sustain? No problem. So if you've lived through the era or are into the charm of such sounds, with a little exploratory urge you can probably experience various positive surprises. And then also with real playing feeling, because as to be expected with analog signal path the amp responds really directly. Just like back then: guitar, amp and go.
