Purple Orange Amp

That's something. My old bandleader really liked combinations of black and purple or black and hot pink, he owns a purple pair of converse sneakers. He'd love this.
I'm waiting to see a purple Orange and orange Orange stack.
It hurts my eyes just thinking about it.
The color is great. Mine came in on Thursday. The blend control allows the growl to be dialed in...
Is there an Orange Crush club.
Is there an Orange Crush club.
Sure thing! Basically I am in love with this amp...
It's louder than I had expected, in a good way too. I wouldn't really consider using it live, I'm sure it would handle a small coffe shop style gig but that's not what this amps about. Even clean it has an aggressive sound if that's possible. It sounds like what I would expect from an Orange bass amp.
The distortion is pretty sweet, the blend controls allows you to and in as much as you want. I mostly like a little dirt added in but it is fun to crank it up the gain knob to the point of sounding obnoxious. I wonder what the "blend footswitch" looks like, it's not included and I never seen one.
The tuner works as expected and it is pretty handy to have it onboard. I haven't tried the headphone/Aux in but I didn't buy it for that.
Honestly I didn't a reason to buy it but the video I saw of Glenn using it was enough for me. The purple color sealed the deal. For $300 bucks it's hard to go wrong.
I haven't tried out the original Orange Crush 50 watt combo, I would like to A/B them...
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate your review! There is one selling locally...but dude only knocked of a whopping $20 off the new price for his used amp! 
I've had a Crush 50 for about a year and a half. It's a decent amp for home use. The one thing I don't like about it is the gain/distortion. I think it's awful. Way too fizzy sounding. It's not that big of a deal as I have drive pedals that sound much better through the Crush.
