Steven Rosenberg<p>Here are some photos of the Orange Crush 12 guitar amplifier that I found on the street a week or so ago.</p><p>It has a surprisingly good sound. You can get a very good jazz tone without a lot of effort. The controls are very responsive. </p><p>For now I put the cover on my Roland Cube 60 and am using this amp instead.
