It sounds a lot like a 60’s Marshall to me. If people don’t like it, then they just don’t like 60’s Marshalls. It doesn’t have the depth and sparkle of a JTM45, but it’s half the price. I’m sure it could benefit from a speaker upgrade but otherwise it seems great. The flubby low end was part of the original Marshall tone. I know some people don’t like it, but if you want Hendrix/Cream/Kossoff tone, you won’t get there with a tight sound.
You also won't get there with something you can stand next to in a 12X12 modern house room, without deafening yourself that is. Rest of your comment is right on the money. This sounds enough like it without the volume to be instantly relatable.
People talk s*** on these amps.. I'm telling you man I've been through all of them 45 years of playing this amps and sick as hell on its own if you want more Distortion throw pedal in front of it. it takes them real good badass amps.
4:50 - Yup, that's exactly what the tilt control is. It's like you've jumped the normal and bright channels. The tilt pot lets you mix 'em. As an old style Marshall lover I'm going to have to get me one of these. Most likely a head, probably the 20. :)
Kind of tired of the Marshall haters. I have the head version of this and it's great. But do agree this amp needs to be cranked to get the best...and it's LOUD! Also agree the speaker in the combo isn't the best. The main problem it would seem is that the gain structure is far cleaner than the archetypal 'rock' Marshall sound of the 70's./80's. It's a cleaniish amp to be fair and meant to be retro. We'd all luv a jtm. But they're 3or 4 times the price in the uk.
Bryan Clarke same here on the haters! It’s definitely aimed at those interested in more vintage sounds but it’s got a fair bit more gain available than old plexi types. Time was that you just couldn’t get overdrive without cranking the amp all the way hence why people often use attenuators with um these days. The origin seems to give similar gain level to a cranked early master volume like a JMP , the predecessor to the 800.
Just want to add my main amp (made by a different company) blew a valve recently so my Origin head has become the number one. It has excelled in the area it was,designed for. Huge headroom with pedals. Got me out of a deep hole gigging wise. Really cuts through the mix. No offence to John but audio here doesn't reflect the amps real sonic capabilities. For five-hundred British it's a true bargain!
My first tube amp was a hybrid valvestate 100, it NEVER sounded this good. Having said that this amp clearly isn't an Astoria or a vintage original or any other boutique but it's phenomenal for the price!
Why does nobody seem to have the same figures for the power scaling? On Marshall's site it says 50W, 10W and 5W. On Sweetwater it says 50W, 10W and 0.5W. On PMTOnline they're saying 50W, 25W and 12.5W. What are the correct approximate output levels?
the tilt control basically replaces the bright/normal inputs with a pot that not only allows you to choose bright, dark, or jump the inputs like a plexi, but with the pot gives you much more flexibility in how much of each. all the way left is "normal" all the way right is bright, noon is balanced mix like jumping inputs on a plexi, but it gives ya all the stuff in between as well. probably my favorite feature next to the amazing old school tone it produces.
@ rowdy johnson... Thank you for the public service announcement explaining the Tilt knob other reviews don't really do nearly as well as what you just said thinking about getting this amp that helped me very much thank you
just got a 50 watt head today,got rid of all the tubes re bias whacked in mullards all round the thing just got better.for the money brilliant,might be come my main amp i think
great sounding amp. my guess is that all the guys that don´t like it just don´t like the tone of vintage Marshall amps, and i don´t mean vintage like in 1980s. plus, with this style of amp you really need to look for the sweet spot for your guitar and playing - something that wasn´t really done in this quick review (which is great anyway). you will not find a more authentic vintage Marshall sounding amp with master volume option, especially for the money. this amp shines at lower/mid gain settings - the possibility of pushing the gain even more on this amp may distract from it´s true strength.
Would you still recommend using a pedal just for a little push for solos? 2 years later how do you find it? Im looking for an amp to capture Clapton's Cream era, Page's punchyness and Kossoff style tones too. Would you still recommend this for that? cheers
@@reaperxi-0382 Well, i would definitely recommend to try one out yourself. It was designed with those tones in mind. Does it sound exactly like a vintage Marshall? Probably not. Is it the ultimate amp to get those tones with? Probably not, there are many different (boutique) amps anbd Marshall reissues out there that may do a better job. But, that said, i know of no other amp at this price range - and price has dropped since, at least in Europe - that would do a better job in getting those kind of tones. And money aside - it does sound good once you dialed it in right. Just be sure to leave the Master Volume wide open, basically treating it as if it was a non MV amp. It does not like the MV turned down. And play around with the EQ. Then a pedal to boost should not be a problem. But try for yourself and let me know what you think. Cheers!
@@modestoney1577 thanks for the advice mate. Only thing is with covid restrictions my local guitar shops are either closed or not letting people in, quite rightly so. Mostly been looking online. I was thinking of swapping the speaker for a proper Celestion Greenback. You think that's a good shout? Seeing as clapton had those in his Bluesbreaker.
@@reaperxi-0382 I see. The good thing with buying online is that you can try it at home and still send it back if you don´t like it. Concerning the speakers i have no experience. I guess a Greenback would sound just fine, depending on what you are going for. Have you considered buying the head? You could then use it with different cabs and speakers.
@@modestoney1577 If I was gonna get a head and cab combo I would actually opt for the Studio Vintage (more up my street, vintage marshall and no master volume). But 1. I don't own a car, so would be hectic trying to transport a head and cab and 2. I'm a student so don't really have the funds for a head and cab as much as it's my dream!
Just bought this amp used in mint condition for $400, could not pass it up. Sounds best with my Tele, Strat single coils and also amazing with my Hagstrom Swede LP. It's a great pedal / tone building amp, perfect to dial in all your guitars due to the single channel application
I own this and it’s a great amp, especially with a les Paul. I’ve owned a jtm45, vintage modern, jcm 800 and a dsl but this is my favourite. You have to set it up right though. It only sounds good in full power mode. It’s not a bedroom amp, it needs to be played loud to get the best sound. I find the best setting is running everything at 12 o’clock but the bass on 3. I run the gain at max and control the distortion from the guitar volume. I wire my les Pauls with 50s wiring and rarely run the guitar volume over 8. Maxing our a les Paul volume makes it fuzzy and less clear in a band mix. It’s an awesome vintage Marshall sound but you need to know what that is as it’s unlike the tight bottom end of Morden high gain amps.
This amp only comes alive when it's cranked. And it's very loud...even on the low setting. It's unforgiving of your playing but the rerwards are there. Kind of the the opposite of modelling style amp sounds that are engineered to sound good at low volume in the store and flatter your playing.
Man I was thinking about picking up a tone master. Been playing a Deluxe for years and just wanted something lighter. But man I am so digging that tone.
Isn't 'tilt' just a blend between the two standard marshall amp inputs?? So it's pre-jumped as a circuit and all the way clockwise is completely high channel and all the way anti clockwise is all normal channel.
they nailed their sound! fuk boogie and evh, that is the overdrive that i love. sounds great and the distortion souds pre compressed, i want this and thanx was waiting to hear how it sounded with a variety of pup configurations
Find me a schematic and I'll tell you exactly what that "Tilt" control does. It appears to be a blend pot with a bright cap on one side, considering the cascading gain ala JMP/JCM. The first 12AX7 isn't parallel like a JTM/Bassman jumper'd with a patch cable.. I'm happy Marshall made an affordable amp based on the classics. The Origin lineup should be pretty popular, barring any reliability issues that plague PCB tube amps. Great cosmetics too!
Mate great playing great reviews love your relaxed vids 🇬🇧 British amp from a Great British company i take mine to their factory for a service and they give fantastic service all round i love Marshall
While you can get some awesome sounds out of the 50W combo, I think either the Origin 20w or 50w head into a cab of choice is a better option. Another thought: run a Barber "Direct Drive" pedal into a Fender Super Reverb. Trust me, it's a religious experience. 😉
all 3 guitars sounded killer, he has hands an knows how to not bore you, or play like a friggin metal shred head............EVERYONE GO LISTEN TO,....MADE IN JAPAN, DEEP PURPLE,AN HEAR ALSO THE BEST TONE ON EARTH.....
Would you recommend the Origin or the Blues Junior? I know Marshall and Fender have such different sounds and I prefer the Fender tone a lot more than Marshall but something about this amp specifically draws me towards it. Also with clean tone setting of the Origin and a reverb pedal I think it can rival the clean of Fender. What are your thoughts on both against each other and which would you recommend.
This is kind of misleading considering he has a Saucy Box HC in his signal chain. How much of the sound he gets is from the pedal, and how much is from the amp?
Hi John, I really like your demos. I'm considering this between this and the silver jubilee 2525c. You've demo'd both so well. Which would you prefer? I'm curious to know which one sounds better in low power settings because they use different technologies. Thanks.
Lovely sounding amp, but I'm not sure if it's the crappy speakers on my laptop or what, but there is a boomy kind of reverby thing happening in the vid. Maybe it's the room you're recording in. Not sure, but even when you speak, the sound seems to reverberate. Weird.
when its in the low wattage mode, the low end is not going to stay together as well. on the max headroom setting, it is much tighter (at least in my exp)
Hi folks !!!got an origin 50 c and hitherto am not satisfied with my settings for a blues rock sound (clean tone with pedals)!!!could you please give us examples of your settings ( tilt, presence, bass, trebble , mid ,gain and volume )to help me improving my tone?alain
yeah that would work. I just ordered a friedman dirty shirley overdrive to run in front of my origin 50 for fun. The amp is an outstanding pedal platform. Just be careful with that tilt control or it will rip your head off.
Great playing brother! Amp has some cool features but the digital reverb makes it a no sell. It would be more desirable if they just made it without it if they're just going to throw in some shitty digital verb.
That’s what the FX loop is for. I’m gonna get a Dano spring reverb pedal (that has real springs!) and put it through there. I’ve never had an amp that has an FX loop until I got this.
love to see that John is using a guitar strap in a sensible way! I've never understood why almost everyone tries to play guitar down on their thighs...
Eh... to each his own..It’s definitely much more comfortable at the hips for me and many others, and it’s never been comfortable playing at chest height. Comfort is sensible.
Could be the camera compression/limiting, there is a TON of compression/limiting in the camera, listen to the ambience come roaring in when he shuts the volume off. I think that is what makes many say this Marshall doesn't sound like a Marshall. I like the sound, the high gain sounds ok, like a compressed Marshall , the clean is unknown to me because of the camera leveling everything out so much, it sounded solid state clean. Seems like it is stuggling for headroom but again, without being there and the whole camera thing theres no way to gauge it very well.
@@premierguitar Auto volume or manual volume on XA20? Manual would be ideal, but you would of had to change it very often during this which is highly impractical. It would remove any auto leveling though.
Always manual on channel 2 with Royrer R121 input. We do several "max volume" tests to make sure whatever tweaking and pedals engaged don't burn the signal. Once that's established, we don't really touch anything. Channel 1 is on auto (that captures John's audio), and yes, we eliminate all channel 1 audio while he's playing so what you're hearing is straight from the Royer. Thanks for tuning in, Evan.
It's a usable amp with some good sounds in it, but they missed the mark on this one, imo. Another flavor of the month, not a future classic. Firstly, players are tired of price point-compromised products that need upgrades. Enough of that. I'll just pay more for a great sounding stock amp. On this one, it's just too much trouble to tweak up a workable sound, it's annoying. And since it sports a lot of clean headroom which is good for pedals, they really should have added a nice reverb. Then it would be way more useful as a general purpose amp in today's world. I would even get two of them for a portable stereo rig. You could go straight into both or slave one out after the fx loop with echo/chorus and such.
best strat an origin video i think,...on youtube..leave the dam les pauls alone a while,there mushy noise if not careful, might as well be playin with a flamethrower..........

This'll do Eric Johnson tones. Turn treble and middle all the way down, bass up to taste, and jam an MXR fet driver up front. Cheap EJ.
i agree this amp kicks ASS and 5 watts for a small room practice mode
Kossoff tone is far from flubby its has lots of kerrang.
When John does a review it’s like being at a friends house drinking and jamming. He’s a cool cat

killer playing as usual john!
All these people complaining about the plexi sound not realizing that’s the sound of a plexi. Those “amp in a box” companies saw you guys coming.
Exactly, this amp is an affordable plexi-ish amp. You really need a mid boost to get the plexi sound nearly perfectly but with that its insane
I'm starting a band called "Clean Business."
So how’d it go😂
Just the man I wanted to see get his hands on one of these. Looking forward to the full review :)
That ‘54 Goldtop tho....
right,, that was the highlight of this vid,, the star of the show :)
This is tangential to the point of the video but seeing him play Gibson really got it right with the 1954 Les Paul
Strats look always richer with a Marshall amp. Even with some wear on it's finish overtime.

Agree, the digital reverb sounds good and for pennys this could have been a great buy.
That’s what the FX loop is for. I’m gonna get a Dano spring reverb pedal (that has real springs!) and put it through there. I’ve never had an amp that has an FX loop until I got this.
A bit of a gear noob, do these work with extended range?
How loud is the 1 watt setting?
Perfect for a small room or apartment
I have a couple of extra guitar stands if you can't find any in your town. 🤣
I got me the dsl40cr it’s awesome also😜
How is the low end in that? My old fender red knob just took a shit on me, I LOIVED the low end that thing had, would shake the room.
Can i play metal music with this amp?
Would probably sound good if you pair it with a distortion pedal with a thicker distortion
Is that your 54 goldtop??
All knobs right and at 11!!
Is there any other way?
Nice Vid!
love to see that John is using a guitar strap in a sensible way! I've never understood why almost everyone tries to play guitar down on their thighs...
Because it looks cool
You're watching the wrong people
Jimmy page ?
But it's upside down! 😭
Eh... to each his own..It’s definitely much more comfortable at the hips for me and many others, and it’s never been comfortable playing at chest height. Comfort is sensible.
It's not 0.5 watt on low. I'ts actually 5, 10 and 50 watts.
Nice Kiesel!
This review is kinda late isn't it?
Cameron Fisher * yeah ! First look ! For John maybe.
I’m new to Amps and I’ve got an Incredibly loud buzz on mine... anyone know what might be the cause?
It's normal, every single amp has a buzz, a compressor or noise gate might lessen it :)
Will wait for mods to fix the sound
I want to love it.........but I think I wanna see other amps. 😆
Anybody know what the last Tele style guitar manufacturer is ?
Kiesel
You have to watch it on full power, it'll blow your strap right off! 🤣
Could be the camera compression/limiting, there is a TON of compression/limiting in the camera, listen to the ambience come roaring in when he shuts the volume off. I think that is what makes many say this Marshall doesn't sound like a Marshall. I like the sound, the high gain sounds ok, like a compressed Marshall , the clean is unknown to me because of the camera leveling everything out so much, it sounded solid state clean. Seems like it is stuggling for headroom but again, without being there and the whole camera thing theres no way to gauge it very well.
Royer R 121 > XLR > Canon XA20 input/preamp > FCPX > Universe
@@premierguitar Auto volume or manual volume on XA20? Manual would be ideal, but you would of had to change it very often during this which is highly impractical. It would remove any auto leveling though.
Always manual on channel 2 with Royrer R121 input. We do several "max volume" tests to make sure whatever tweaking and pedals engaged don't burn the signal. Once that's established, we don't really touch anything. Channel 1 is on auto (that captures John's audio), and yes, we eliminate all channel 1 audio while he's playing so what you're hearing is straight from the Royer. Thanks for tuning in, Evan.
I think it sounds great in my ears. Thanks.
"clean business" :)
this guy knows how to make a guitar bite an attack,instead of metal,an shred shit..like blackmore a little..........
People say they don’t get enough distortion out of these amps and it’s like dude just get a f--ing distortion pedal
It's a usable amp with some good sounds in it, but they missed the mark on this one, imo. Another flavor of the month, not a future classic. Firstly, players are tired of price point-compromised products that need upgrades. Enough of that. I'll just pay more for a great sounding stock amp. On this one, it's just too much trouble to tweak up a workable sound, it's annoying. And since it sports a lot of clean headroom which is good for pedals, they really should have added a nice reverb. Then it would be way more useful as a general purpose amp in today's world. I would even get two of them for a portable stereo rig. You could go straight into both or slave one out after the fx loop with echo/chorus and such.
best strat an origin video i think,...on youtube..leave the dam les pauls alone a while,there mushy noise if not careful, might as well be playin with a flamethrower..........
I had Origin 20. Much better than DSL...
Eso suena Deluxe bro!!
Love your work Johnboy but that sounds like pish flaps pushed through a cheese grater!
lol ! 🤣 🙂👍🇬🇧
