Finally managed to try out a CR120....

And, of course, I was very impressed!!!!
I own a Rockerverb it's modelled on, and they are very similar in many ways.
Unfortunately, I tried the 212 combo version, and the amp lacked somewhat in articulation - for the moment, I'll put that down to the speakers, as it's something I've experienced before in all amps with budget speakers. Can't be sure though.
I can't say it sounds as good as my RV50- but it still sounds fantastic, and really close to it. The clean channel doesn't get quite so crunchy fully wound up, but with the master volume, you can more easily get some slight hair from it at manageable volume.
All in all, I was VERY impressed. Really great amp. Would make a RV back up at a fraction of the cost. I would very happily gig with it, or own it!!!
Impressive work by Orange, best SS amp I've ever heard.
