Orange Crush 50BXT vs Ampeg B50R

Sign in to disble this ad
I am moving. I currently own an Ampeg B50R, and I dont have room in the car to take it with me, so i was thinking of selling it. When i get settled in the new apartment i was planning on buying a new combo amp. I was thinking of an Orange Crush PiX 50BXT.

Both amps have the same speaker size, both amps are rated at the same 50 Watts, both amps are SS, both amps look really cool. Both have a Line Out.

The Orange has a built in Tuner, and a Speaker out that the Ampeg doesnt have, but the ampeg has a High Mid and Low Mid control the Orange only has a Mid control.
However the Orange has a Gain control the Ampeg does not have.

I also have a VT bass pedal, that when set to the flip top setting is dead on with my B50R, when i engage the pedal with that amp i cant even tell its running.

So, Has anyone tried this new Orange PiX 50BXT amp? Does it sound class Orange? or is it thin and weak ?

Lets hear what you guys think! (I would also be saving about 50$ after selling the Ampeg and buying the Orange)

I got one just at Christmas time. I absolutely love it. It sounds great too, not thin and weak at all. I've actually played a small gig with it and it was powerful enough to be heard over the drums at only half of it's maximum volume.
