@@marciopaivaRS I am going to check them out, it just depends on my budget as to how soon I can get one! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic
Orange Crush 20RT for the win as it has a built-in tuner, reverb knob, and headphones jack.
@5 Minute Music Still undecided. Which one takes pedals better, and which one is more versatile for a wide variety of styles.
Vox vx15 gt since you asked.
A perfect example of an objective, no-nonsense, informative review. No flashy guitar playing, just simple examples with all settings and tones clearly defined. Exceptionally useful. I have the Fender.
Bell rung.
Thank you for watching and commenting (and ringing the bell!)
orange has a very distinctive warm sound which i always loved, sold my crush 12L and got a fender 20 and they both are great amps.
I couldn't believe the difference on the crush tone. Orange's sound could straight-out be on the album
I'm an Orange fanboy, however, that Fender beat the Orange in every comparison except the high gain at the end. I was very impressed with the Fender.
Hey man,
Thanks for putting this video together. Really helped me decide between these two amps and I've landed on the Fender. The Orange combo looks so bloody beautiful, but the versatility of the Fender has definitely swung it.
Cheers again
My pleasure! Please let me know what you think about the Champion 20! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I purchased an Orange Crush 20RT with mini foot switch pedal as my first amp. After finding a Fender Champion 20 open box on sale, I decided to order one as my second amp. Both are equally as good and I am able to achieve all of the sounds, tones and effects between the two. Thanks for selling me on both models! 😉
What would you choose for nirvana tone? 😅
I got both. I use the Orange for a metal and hard rock sound, and the Fender for blues and classic rock.
It is great to have both options! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Just a question. How good is orange for blues rock?
@@rathinsinha5646 The Orange is good for blues rock. Just use a medium gain setting and you're golden!
Champion 20 is amazing. I'm a mix engineer turned guitar player and I knew how to dial in a good tone well before going out and buying my own guitar and practice amp. I've worked in studios with classic Marshall and Fender amps and it blew me away how good the tones on the Champ for such a cheap little thing. I can't say the same about the Line 6, though...
Champion better than the orange ?
@@totljag1 Orange sounds better for the specific orange solid state tone. Champion is waaay more versatile.
I guess each amp has its own personality. I rather Orange and its crunchy and warm sound, a clean very descent (not a Roland clean but acceptable). Fortunately there is something beyond the Fender and Marshall and Vox sounds...your own preferences. Nice video, no pretentions
@@totljag1 A little bit "digitally" for me
Line 6 original Flextones are where it's at
Back when we still had live music, my Fender 20 fit in my road case with tools, strings, tuners, etc. (I like to hear when I'm tuning).
For the nights I'm staying in a hotel instead of the crew bus, it's perfect to take to the room if I want to play.
I really like your content, everyone doesn't experience, or support group to learn the basics on Amp dynamics. Keep it going.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Also, thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanx - very good comparison here. I had a 10w Blackstar amp with tons of effects, and changed to the Orange 35w RT. I really love the sound of the Orange amp, and did not look back. When I need effects I add them via the Fx-loop with a Boss thing; but mostly I enjoy the high qualyty sond frem the Orange combo. It's hard to compare higher quality sound vs tons of effects.
I've been doing a lot of research with many low wattage amps and as much as the Orange has been favored for awhile, this vid sort of changed my mind. Orange does sound warm as others have said in other comments, but it seems to be overwhelmingly warm. No brightness whatsoever with clean sounds like the Fender.
I will be bringing my guitar to GC by the end of today and hear it for myself in person rather than rely on my crappy smartphone speakers.
Great vid and I thank you immensely for the Orange vs. Fender comparison. Which ever amp is chosen, I'll reply to this and met you know.
Please do! Also, be sure to let us know what kind of guitar you use and what settings you try (if possible). Could you film your trip to GC on your phone and upload it?
I am excited to hear your experience in person! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic I've been playing bass since 83 and just happened to pick up the guitar a couple of years ago. I'll spare the world of UA-cam of the lack of guitar skills I have.
I visited 2 GC's today and neither of them had anything remotely close. Tried a few other higher end amps, but more experienced guitarists drowned me out. Stopped by a few pawn shops along the way too.
So, after coming back from wasting my time, I watched more vids with other amps and ended up taking a chance with the Katana mini. Though trying something out before making a purchase is something I always do, playing this Epiphone modern without one is taking its toll.
If there was a way I could send you a vid in your inbox (UA-cam used to have that option) I'd be more than happy to send it to you after receiving it.
Either way, I'll update in a few days with my take on the Katana. Once my skills improve with the guitar, I'll definitely be watching your vids and will call GC before wasting my time again. 😂
Thanks for replying to my comment and you have a new subscriber too!!
I own the Orange Crush 20 and love it, but I tried the Champion because 2 of my friends have it so I thought it would be good. To say the least, I wasn’t very impressed at all and the distortion felt more forced out but the Crush was just a warm crunchy tone that I love in rock. Nice review!
i find myself having this weird habit of buying things and then looking up reviews while i wait for them to arrive 😅 i am happy to see that i've seemingly bought a great value amp, as you are comparing the fender to something twice the price as of 11/30/22. and since i don't play in a band (i'm starting out) looks like i got the right amp for my use case. glad i spent the extra $25 over the frontman 10g
How’s the amp ??
@@aaronmason6658 it's great! i initially had some trouble finding the right settings for the sound i wanted, but i'm very happy with it now. my only problem is that it's a little too loud for me haha
I read all reviews, buy something without trying it then don't feel comfortable with it, lol...
Great comparison. SUBSCRIBED 🤘🏼
I started with a fender mustang (V1). Kind of big learning curve but I love the options/effects, it’s a modeling amp
I now have the orange crush 20, with some basic pedals (reverb mostly) it’s slowly becoming my favorite. The “dirty” channel sounds v good, even better then with my cheap distortion pedal on clean
I've got the mustang V1 now (my first as well), and I'm long overdue for an upgrade which is why I'm here. Was there a big learning curve going from all those effects to having none? Also worried about the price having to buy a bunch of different pedals...
@@megatar3 no not a learning curve as much i feel less effects (more minimal setup ) is a lot less overwhelming then ALL those effects; My advice is to get an amp with at least built in reverb OR just get one reverb pedal if no built in. Let me know of any other questions @meg
@@cj.lambert yea I feel like the only things I care about is reverb and crunch and gain vs clean sound. I’m torn between the orange crush and the blackstar ID core, but haven’t gotten the chance to play on an orange. Thanks for the tips!
I do feel that in high gain orange wins hands down against fender champion. For cleans and low gain, fender sounds better. What your thoughts about?
The Orange high gain is special, no doubt about it! I love the versatility of the Fender though, the cleans with some reverb are great! Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
This was pretty useful dude, thanks for taking the time to make it. Also, anybody ever tell you that you kind of look like a young Matthew Broderick?
Glad I could help! And, I have never heard that! Thank you for watching and commenting!
SIMP!!
Lol, j/k😂. Yes, he’s a good looking fella.
Nah man, he's Eli Roth younger brother
I was thinking Harry Connick Jr
The Champion 20 is a super deal! Just picked one up at GC. I tried a bunch of other amps and was looking for simplicity and fundamental good tone so I might’ve been attracted to the Orange but it was not available for me to try. I really like the amp modeling but don’t care for the FX which is fine because I will use with my pedalboard. Played the Mustang amp too and considered it but didn’t need all the complexity. Another amp I checked out was an Acoustic which was selling for $99 and sounded alright but the Champion 20 was worth the extra $30 so that’s what I took home.
Good video thanks. For me, I am looking for the effects so go with Fender. I agree about the middle EQ feature though. It would put the 20 over the top. I have Traynor Stacks TS200 that I love. Old but awesome. For practice I wanted the effects and headphone feature. Thanks for your help. With stores all closed picking an amp without being able to check it out in person is tough. Glad for the videos
id go fender just because of those extra clean tones you get with the amps, you can always find a 20-50$ pedal for that extra special tone/gain profile to layer on. an amp can always get dirtier but you cant make it cleaner,
I tried both amps and ended up buying the fender. I use reverb and Delay mostly with a clean or just slightly overdrive tone. The fender is great for that. I do think that for metal type music that the Orange sounds better.
you think fender is useless for metal?
I’ve just got a Fender 20, second hand.
I only ever play clean sound. It’s quite good.
A clear and deep reverb and very full bodied for a small amp. The only slight drawback is a slightly noticeable mains hiss, though it’s perfectly acceptable.
I'm a fender fan boy. Had a deluxe super reverb 4x10 but had to sell it to make rent when I was out of work due to covid. I got back into playing and got a crush 20 to noodle on. Im now an orange fan, I hope to get a bigger one someday.
Love this demo, dude; thank you! Subscribed!
My pleasure! Thank you for subscribing!
Same here, bro. Just brought my Champion 20, and Im STR8 in Love with it...🎸🎼💪🏾💪🏾
@@antwanelynch87 Thank you! Do you still enjoy your Champion 20?
good video. very well done. organized, clear and definitely offers definite assistance in making a choice. Im subscribing. ty
To sum it up, if you play more clean tone, the best option is the Fender. If you want some crunchy clean tone and a thick drive and some high gain playing with a humbucker guitar, the best one is the Orange.
I just ordered the fender through your link, for my stepson Xmas present.
Thank you so much!
I hope he enjoys it! Be sure to get him the Fender Champion 20 Tone course if he is new to this amp or amps in general: ua-cam.com/video/4CuGxNxvAIw/v-deo.html
Yo! Great, concise, straight forward and fun review
Also,., Love, LOVE that Ibanez RG BLK w/Maple neck!!! Been searching for one like that since 1990's. What model, year is it and would you consider selling?
Thank you for watching!
The guitar is an RG550, and I think it is a 1990 or ‘91 model. I got it in 1991.
I don’t think I could sell it at this point.
To me the orange was thicker, fuller, the fender was just so thin and plunky, but the way our ears are, if we wasn't comparing those side by side the fender would probably have sounded really good ,, but victory orange,😁
Seems the fender amp could make any guitar sound like it has single coil pickups! 😆
Damn, I was leaning towards the orange at first, but you sold me on the fender.
I think the sound of the Orange amps (combos) is an acquired taste. Some people love it, some don't.
As for me, I think the Fender _crushes_ it, especially on cleans. ;-) It probably doesn't clearly come through here because of the mic used but I've heard them before and that's what I thought.
Not having separate mids control never seriously bothered me.
Thanks for a great video. Very helpful, much appreciated. I am a beginner buying my first amp. All in all I think I’m going with the fender. Mainly because of its appearance.
You can get the Orange Crush 20 in black if you want. Does that make a difference?
H Deric!! Great video!! !
How can I get a good indie tone on the fender champion 20 amp?
hey great review!
Q. can we connect Fender Champion 20 to an audio interface for recording in one of the channels?
Dude these videos are great! I've been so stuck on what amp to buy and this video simplifies that lol
Which one did you decide on? Thank you for watching and commenting!
Gotta say, the fender sounds great, and I plan on using some pedals so I feel like the clean tones will pair better!
I just bought a Champ 20 and like it, but I'm wondering if you can get a SLAYER tone from the Crush without a petal the way I can with the Champ? Cause I really liked the Crush sound....
I just had my Champion 20 delivered this afternoon so far I’m impressed by the sound.What do have a concern about is when I turn off the amp I get a loud pop.Is that something I should be concerned about?The MG 30 I just sold used to do that but it went away after awhile.
That loud pop is electrical discharge I had mine for over 2 years now and it always done that it's normal
Put a 3.5m plug in the headphone socket before turning it off.
I own a Champion 20 and it ok for a practice amp (when i played in a band years ago) i was used to a Marshal double stack so was tough to get used to, but something most reviewers seem to leave out is that each guitar will sound very different due to quality, pick up style/design, quality of the pots, ect.
Very true. Each guitar and each amp has a learning curve to find the best tones.
Small point: the angled knobs on front off fender are ergonomically better if you jamming in garage band, you don't have to bend over amp n looks straight down like the orange to see or change dial settings! Utubers never mention that!🙏😎
Im considering any of these for size and volume, but id like to know if i just set any to clean and run a o/d and a phaser or wah? Which one would take better to pedals?
My guess is that both would do great on their clean channels. However, I have never tested that so I can’t say for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting!
-I like the effects on the Fender.. plus, I grew up in the 70's around Fender amps, and it just has that old, vintage "Rock" sound that I love !!
Orange sounds more professional, like the sounds you hear from a professional band/recording. Fender sounds very muffled. You can get more sounds with the Fender, but none of them sound as good as the Orange.
I like your comment And no
Have you heard them in reality?
Or just listening the video?
Which one would you say is best for rock music?
I have a question for you. I’m irig and bias fx 2 user. So have lots of tones. I want a practice amp to use with my setup. Amp settings will be on only clean tone. I want to hear cristal clear the sound but both of, clean tone and dirty tone. For example if I go with fender, can I get lots of great tones with clean channel of the amp? Which one is better for me? What do you think? I tried that before blackstar ht1r and was great 👍
Very comparison review. Thank you.
which is higher volume fender champion 20 or orange crush 20
Hey! I have ibz10gv2-u should i need to upgrade orange crush 20? I'm new at guitar so my friend recommended me ibz10gv2-u. i really enjoy playing with distortion and my purpose is: playing guitar to my friends and start a band with my friends. do you think i should upgrade?
This guy wrote the book on reviews. This is a perfect video!
Orange and the rest of the top-controls are always getting a lower score from me when talking about practice amps. Most ppl don't put them on the ground but on a table or nightstand etc. This means that using the top is way worse than having a front side.
PS: Fender had the bass overpushed = bad settings.
How do they compare when using pedals for effects? I liked the "crunchiness" of orange, it sounds brighter and, well, "crunchier".
Usually Fender amps have always been very pedal friendly, but I just got an Orange Crush 20 and with my selection of pedals they work excellently. I'd say it's just about which one you like more.
Speaking of pedal option I recommend fender mustang LT 25 it’s right around the same price as those 2 amps buddy
To get a more nirvana or red hot chili pepper sound which of these would u suggest?
orange? maybe
Ds1 or big muff distortion for nirvana. Youl love the sustain on the distortion
Champion with crunch setting nailed it
What do you think about the Roland Cube 10GX?
should I go for the fender champion 20 for 121€ or the vox vt20x for 167€
How do you play in a band with a drummer when they are solid state and only 20 watts? A 20 watt tube amp would be loud enough for a band.
Which one is better for like green day songs and nirvana ??
Orange all day
Well I've had a crush 35t for a couple years now and just bought a champion 20 yesterday on black Friday. I'm thinking I'm gonna like the fender better!!! I'm actually really excited about it. Maybe I'm just tired of the orange. I use blackstar tube with celest speaker so the crush not having effects just reminds me of a cheap tube. So the fender seems to just have more to offer
This video was very helpful, but could you do the same comparison to the orange crush 20rt Vs Fender champion 20
20rt stands for reverb and build in tuner. Same as in this video.
Okay thanks
@@sarasegador8998 no problem :)
I do want to review the 20rt but it will depend on my budget! It does cost $50 more, but the reverb and tuner may be worth it, I just won't know until I get one for myself. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic no worries dude, if you do get it I'll watch it if not it's alright! Great video by the way.🎸
Thanks! Very helpful.
Just found your channel your reviews have helped so much, informative and well presented. Thank you so much.
I bought the fender champion 20, It's a great little amp. One question, is it normal for the speaker to make a pop sound when I turn it off? If not what could be wrong?
My friend has one and he says it is normal for the speaker to make pop sound
@@zeljkopejcic684 Thank's man you are a friend.
Mine pops too! No worries!
If i were looking for a white stripes/black keys bluesy sound, would the orange do the job? I do want a warmer sound, had a small fender before and it seemed a tad tinny and harsh. Thoughts?
The Orange is too rough for that. The Fender would be a better choice, even though all it does is run the same voicing through different circuits.
@@Da_Publick I already got the fender, sounds great! 👍
@@NickLoTurco If the Orange had a low Gain option, instead of the Gain starting at crunch halfway up, it would've been better.
Do you use any pedals for these demos?
No. All you hear is the guitar and amp recorded with a Shure SM57, into a MOTU 1248, into my MacBook Air, mixed in Logic. I do not add any FX or EQ in Logic. I want to capture the sound of the amp just as you would hear it if you were playing it (the best that I can).
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic thanks :)
nice info, it helpsme to decide
What is the best amp for r&b and funk?
orange if u have money for pedals
The crush sounds thicker and warmer....well through my headphone's anyway cheers
I think it has a lot to do with the way the Crush 20's mids knob shapes the tone. I think it is a really nice feature! Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
The crush has cab sim right?
@@MrTabasham1990 with headphones plugged in I believe so
Went with the 20RT to match my orange strat.
i have a question, i have a champion 20 and it makes noise when i raise the volume up and i am not sure if it's the amp or the cable? please answer
Is it a crackling noise when you turn the volume knob? If so, it could be dust in the knob. Just spend a minute turning it up and down for a bit, then see if that helps.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Crush 20RT is a better bet - wiith a really usable reverb - and I'd put the 20W of my Crush 20RT against 50W of anyone else's amp!I Use mine for folk, jazz, pop and blues - and with a little Cube Baby feeding it... it's glorious! PS - it took me almost 50 years to buy my first Orange - and tbh it's versatile enough that I don't think I'll need to buy any other amp after this - except maybe the Crush 35RT....
I have both, but I prefer the crush 20 by a mile
Got the fender 20 two months ago. Hadn't played guitar since 2001. Man, I wish I had this amp back in the early 80's when I first learned. Back then if you wanted an MXR overdrive pedal, $59. If you wanted a flanger around $80. Delay/reverb $100. Chorus, equalizer, etc. And those were not stereo effects. This is the perfect amp for a beginner. The faults are the one channel and mid knob. There is a 40 with two channels and 40w instead of 20w. Reason I didn't get it was I believe like $239 from Amazon?
Fender Champion 20 got the tone I like..Thanks
I have a fender 20 . but hearing the orange I like also . how about Marshall.
I'm getting the Fender 20 cus 1) I bought a Fender Telecaster 2) I like seeing all the knobs and lights on the front aesthetically, especially at night. 3) Orange just isn't a rock n roll colour, love their warmer fuller sound, but I can't get over the fact they look like big toy blocks! But I'll still get one at some future point. More knobs n lights I see, the more I can see wat I'm paying for!🤣🤣🙏😎
I've got a €150 budget, 200 max, the only question I really have is, will either of these take pedals well? I have 3 pedals, and I really want an amp that can handle that cleanly
I have not tried pedals with either one yet. However, I have heard from other people that they both handle pedals very well!
@@5MinuteMusic alright thanks
I used boss ds1 on champion 20 and it sounded the same as every review that I have seen
I know I'm late, but I've used a full pedalboard with my old Champ 20 before upgrading, and it took all of my pedals amazing
Seen a Orange Crush 20L for £40 is this worth it?
I want something that I can mainly jam with my friends who play bass and drums, I like the fact that the champion had effects but I’m not sure?
which one did you bought?
What songs do you like to play? If those songs have a lot of effects, or if they are more rock and roll with less effects, that could make a difference for you. What do you think? Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic I like to play the smiths and the cure!
@@Crucizer fender Champion 40
@@sebastianvega6310 you’ll need a flanger or chorus + reverb with a delay for getting the cure sound. Fender champion might be the best choice for u. Other option is getting the orange crush and a cheap multifx (mooer, zoom), they have good quality on modulation effects
The way you had them eq'd the fender sounded better on every sound. There's gotta be some other (maybe better) options out there for under $200 these days. Also I don't think that style Ibanez is a great choice for clean tones either. But hey I don't know diddly squat about anything. Loll
I’d like to see you compare these with the Marshall mg15.
I do want to review that amp! I think it would be a great amp to compare with the others. Thank you for watching and commenting!
If the Orange was a dark burgundy outer case colour, it wud be perfect n Id buy them every time! But I don't think orange like me critiquing their brand colour as dated to the 1960s and looking like big toy blocks! I'm actually going to buy a orange n spray paint it dark burgundy / red myself! I think it will look much better with the inner tweed cover! 🤣🙏😎
i bougth fender 20 champ amp and i think it sounds fine specially cleans and biritish it just needs an overdrive and eq pedal
also if you change the fenders speakers to some decent ones you will have an amazing amp for 200 dollars
I agree! I am looking into replacing the speaker with an 8 or 10" Jensen (or maybe another brand). I think it will be a huge upgrade!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I put a Jensen in my daughter's Champion 20. It's a different amp now, dirty channels are impressive. It's worth $40 for the speaker upgrade.
What is neck pickup end bridge pickup setups ?
what about The background noise or hum They got?I purchase fender and Sent it back cos it was.in really noisy and With lot of hum even at clean minimum volume
I'm looking for a quiet practise amp with a speaker jack and listened to the Fender Champion 20 at my local muic store. When I turned the amp off (even with the volume dialed all the way back) it was a big no for me. Just like the really cheap Frontman amps, you turn it off, wait a second or two and then you get a big pop through the speaker. Sorry, can't buy it.
You are right, the Champion 20 does pop when you turn it off, but the Champion 40 does not. Thank you for watching and commenting!
The Orange Crush 20 does not pop either!
@@5MinuteMusic I actually picked up the Orange Crush 12. It’s not loud (which was what I was looking for), sounds good, handles my pedal board, and has a headphone jack.
its normal for the amp to pop when turning it off, i have a fender bass amp
which one is best for nirvana???
gahh I cant choose. I'm leaning towards the orange because I was recommended it by someone and it sounds cleaner to me, but i really want the effects that the fender has like reverb and etc. Not really sure what to go with here.
Go with the orange
Go with Orange and add pedals after maybe
Which one would you recommend for slipknot?
I was watching a video earlier and Jim root was using an orange
Thanks for the info I'm thinking fender

Like usual, you Crushed this review. Answered all my answers like a Champion. ;)
They both seem like great amps, and have nice sounds. I don't think you can really go wrong, and it's a matter of preference. Thanks for the video! **clicks affiliate link**
I'm learning from your content. What pickup volume do you use on the guitar for the crunch. I'm an old guy but new to guitar. Maybe add that information to new videos or direct me to some of your content that covers it. Keep up the good work!
I always set my guitar volume and tone knobs to 10 for all of my videos. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That is a great suggestion! I have been doing that in my newer videos.
ik this might be a dumb question but is there any way at all you can use pedals with the champion 20? (I'm a beginner)
I'm pretty sure you can still use pedals like boss ds1 but some pedals dont support the solid state amp and only supports with the valves or what ever. I do have a distortion pedal with the champion 20 and it pretty works aswell. Dont be afraid to ask the guitar store clerk to try out the pedal with the amp and hear the difference but yea.
@@nors3488 awesome thanks so much man i really appreciate it! but how does it connect to the amp?
@@nothing-ye7ub I'm pretty sure u need two cords to connect. 1 cord is from the guitar and the other one connects to the amp.

Well said Mac n Cheeze...great answers and one of my favorite foods! Thank you for replying! And great question from @nothing too. Thank you both for watching and commenting!
try nux mighty 20bt or the mk2 version
Can we run through hx stomp as effect pedal in these amps??
I agree I like the mids I was just sent the Fender on accident I bought a Marshall opened the box and it's a fender champion 20 I like marshall so I couldn't settle especially when there's a 50 dollar price difference what I paid for the Marshall and the fender but all is good I called up there where I purchased it they took care of it right away so can't complain shit happens plus I got to try out this amp I had the same problem no mids the mids makes a huge difference on the tone the depth of the tone warmer etc so definitely a huge factor for me as well but other than that I thought it sounded pretty good.
Well, i think it's kinda funny he said "Led Zeppelin tone" on the fender champion when he had actually the orange in the other side, amp used by Jimmy Page haha
That is true, Jimmy Page did use Orange Amps! I am still surprised that the Fender could get a tone that reminds me of Led Zeppelin. Thank you for watching and commenting!
excellent video. Both are great amps
One problem with the Orange is that it does not like other pedals, so you are pretty well stuck with the sound of the orange.
I just ordered this to use as a pedal platform. What's the issues it has with pedals?!
