    I just got the 50w and it sounds awesome..I use my ampeg br100 100w for shows in which i only go up to about 3 1/2 to 4 when it comes to volume cause most of the venues we play are not that big usually small bars or clubs and we really don't play that loud..I'm actually going to try the 50w this weekend at our next show and see how much it cranks out with full band..

      So i took my Orange Crush 50w to a show we had on saturday and it far exceeded my expectations.I took my Ampeg Br-100 just incase but i didn't need it.I had my volume up to about 11 almost at noon and the amp was loud enough..Thus again we are a cover band and don't play that loud,but still i think the amp performed pretty good,better than i thought..

    As someone who initially started with the 25 watt Orange crush, get at least the 50 watt. I immediately regretted NOT going for the 50. For my purposes (I mostly use the amp for practice), the 50 is plenty, and you could probably mic it if needed at a gig.

    Another consideration is mass: 25=8.3kg, 50=14.5kg, 100=24.25kg. Carrying probably over 1/4 of your body mass in amp + a bass, and bag of leads & pedals to a gig will cripple you before you play a note, especially if using public transport... at least the 100 is comfortable to sit on if there are no seats on the bus , tube or train.

      I can tell you that I used to own a Rumble 25 v3 and sold it to get one of these Crush Bass 25 combos. The Orange Bass 25 has noticeable better bass tone definition to my ears and more responsive EQ on every band. The Rumble 25's mid and highs are borderline non-existent.

    Don't like this test for one reason: not enough information. I own the Crush Bass 100 for a couple of months, and some, from my point of view, quite important issues have not been addressed. E.g, weight: the 100 weighs almost 25 kg (appr. 54 lbs), and that's quite a LOT for a combo. Due to the two massive handles, it can be moved quite well (better than an OBC212 cab with only one handle at the top), but a tc electronic BG250-115 weighs about 18 kg (about 40 lbs). If you want to carry the combo around a lot, that's quite a difference.
    Another issue: it's nice to have a DI Out, but it's not nice you can't control the volume or choose pre/post EQ.
    Tuner: works quite well for me. But I'm missing a Mute button when tuning the instrument.
    EQ: it's quite common for amps to hiss when treble (and maybe hi mids) are boosted to the max. To me, yeah, there is some hissin', but not that loud.
    Another thing that's loud: when turning on the amp, there is a cracking sound from the speaker. That's disappointing for a combo that comes at around 500 Euros. A relais swith isn't that expensive, and it should be a standard even in combos.
    It should be mentioned that the overdrive section is ... well ... not exactly subtle. Just to add some kind of crunch - no way. It's nice to have the lows clean and only the mids and highs distorted, but it's REALLY distorted. Some will love it, some will hate this feature.
    Last, but not least: the sound. Guys, you have a Terror Bass just behind you. A comparison to the "full-scale" Orange amps would have been most interesting. Of course, the combos won't have the punch and the sheer power of their cousins, but is the sound of the combos "Orange-like", just to a smaller degree? Or is it something completely different?
    By the way, I like the Crush 100! To me, it has a surprisingly tight sound for a 15 inch speaker. The combo goes deep, but never gets muddy. It's loud enough for me to use it even in the rehearsal room, but, of course, headroom is limited. I purchased mine as a used one for 320 Euros - the pre-owner didn't want to carry it around any longer. Weight definitely is an issue, the other negatives are, well, a nuisance, but I can live with it. I'd give the Orange Crush Bass 100 four of five stars.

      I think that I've used these settings live with both a passive P bass and an active PJ bass: treble 7 o'clock, middle 9 o'clock, freq 7 o'clock, bass 11 o'clock, blend 8 o'clock and gain 8 o'clock. I am by no means a pro when it comes to shaping bass tone + I like my tone quite "bassy", but hopefully these settings could give you some direction at least :)

    100 W isnt enough. I purchased a Crush 100 few months ago. DI is noisy, you cant adjust the volume. Expect to get a certain amount of noise instead of silence while recording. When you crank the volumes of the treble and mid you hear a hiss. I record the combo with my condenser mic to avoid the DI. The combo is very loud, so I guess installing a better power transformer, higher than 100 W would do it justice. I am not an expert, it is just my guess that the amp with so much volume capacity would not clip if it had a better trafo. Single coil pickups are noisy (ex. Strat) in this case, so 100 W is not sufficient. It is purely bass-centered. Your trebles will hiss and hum.
