About this model

A small solid-state practice amp. The Crush 20 and the 20RT, with reverb and a tuner, sell in this band.

Quick to sell, but fees and postage eat the margin on a single amp. Bundled with a beginner guitar, it sells best.

Questions people ask about this model

Crush 20 or Crush 20RT?

The 20RT adds reverb and a built-in tuner and sells towards the top of the range. The model is on the control panel.

Is an Orange Crush worth flipping?

On its own, barely: the range tops out at £115. Bundled with a beginner guitar, it sells quickly and earns more.

What goes wrong on a Crush 20?

Scratchy knobs and a worn headphone socket. Test every knob and the headphone output, and listen for a rattling speaker at volume.

Selling one on

Boss Katana, Fender/Marshall/Vox valve combos and Orange sell same-week. Big 4x12 cabs and 100W heads are slow and awkward. Small practice amps under £40 are barely worth listing.

Heavy - collection only for anything over 15kg. Valve amps do not travel well.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Orange Crush 20 in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
