I'm looking for a decent, small-ish amp for use in college. I'll be in a dorm so it can't be too big, but it needs to be able to handle practice/band rehearsals and maybe small events like open-mic nights.
I've heard Orange amps are good, and this Orange Crush Pix seems like it's what i need. 35W 1x10 seems good, and it's got built in effects and overdrive.
Any experience with lower cost Orange amps, or this particular model? Think the specs would handle my situation?

I haven't had personal experience with them but I've heard amazing things about them, see if a local store has them in stock and check them out. If guitar Center has it, make sure to turn the volume all the way up and practice pull offs for an hour.

Huge tube fan here. For a little "dorm amp", I've always liked the Fender and Roland amps, especially the Fender SuperChamp. If on a tight budget and going solid-state, I've never had a problem with the mini-Marshalls or the Peavy amps.

Well if you're using it for band practice and what not you'll probably need to mic it. Depending on the venue they would usually do that regardless.
