I’m not a tele fan ,but I like that Andy summers looking one . The others I like are the mick Mars 80s Kramer tele body shapes but with pointy or hockey stick headstocks and beefy humbuckers
@@thedavesimpson Dave! I talked with Marshall, and they said the 20 & 50 have the exact same tube compliment, but the 20's power tubes run at much lower voltage! But I had a 50 and sold it and bought the 20, cuz I don't gig. But even so what I would do is buy a small fan and hook it into the power supply and mount it at one side of the back grill blowing in, and that little mod would cool the internals perfectly and prolong the life of the amp and its tubes ten fold!
Tilt - sounds like it emulates and combines (no patch cable needed) what would be the dark and bright channels of a Plexi. What I like, Marshall tone at a reasonable price. What I didn't like, nothing.
exactly! you dont know how happy it makes me to see someone actually get that control right! whats cool about this way vs the old plexi is you had bright input, normal, or ya could use a jumper to get an even balance of both on the plexi, but the origins pot allows much more specific blending capabilities across the spectrum vs. just the 3 choices the plexi gave. there are a whole lotta "pros" demoing this amp online that dont get the tilt control right hahahaha kudos!!!
I love to see someone being themselves when making a video. All your antics make me enjoy your videos all the more. One of my favorite reviewers of all time. Oh, and you also convinced me to buy the amp. Cheers from Texas. Hope you are healthy and safe.
First saw this vid 10 months ago and I just got an Origin 20h recently. I wasn't really intending on buying one but a deal came along that was too good to pass up. I thought I'd re-watch your video Dave, as this was the first time I'd seen you play, and I've been watching you ever since. Thanks for many happy hours. ✌️🇦🇺
@randypittman4994 I'm very happy. It needs to be cranked to find its sweet spot, so I had to buy an attenuator, but since I got one, I'm very pleased with it.
The amp has bucketfulls of attack. But when you can sound like Muddy, Koss and Greene all in one session,that's you not the amp. I was glued to it all the way through. Just brilliant.
YOu dont know how great a guitarist you are...And by that i mean.,...its an absolute extension of you...your soul..coming through! Youre a beautiful soul man! Keep it going....👍
Dude, thank you so much for making such a thorough vid. It's so hard to find one this useful, I especially appreciate the demos with the neck single coils! Mad props for the Jag lol
I have one like this and am loving it. It roars and I am in heaven....it sings and I am in heaven. A sweetie and a beast. You don't need anything else....
Wow ! What a beautiful intro to this video! I bet I listened to it 10x in a row! Truly beautiful! Thanks man, keep doing your thing brother! Killer playing and awesome tone!
I have the 50 head and within minutes of playing I had uncovered both that Kossoff and additionally Clapton Beano tone - Also when mine gets hot it smells of Popcorn!!
Absolutely stunning intro Dave. Have the Origin 20 head myself and I love it. Great articulation of notes, great tone apart from on low setting, great value and a great price. Gets plenty loud too when you push it. Dream tele too. was half expecting to see some black tape on the edge under your right arm ha ha
Ha! I think about how incredibly patient and supportive my mom and dad were. They allowed me to bang away at mastering my instrument in spite of enduring endless hours of wobbly playing.
I'm a happy owner of one of those and very exited to hear your opinion. Just like the plexi, the Origin actually has 2 different voicings. The "Tilt" dial is there for mixing them together. So it's much more than a brightness dial - the way it gets distorted is completely different (I guess you missed that). I would love to see some more videos with that amp, espacially how you get the John tone from it. Because I think it's a worthy competitor to the CR120, since it's nearly as cheap. Great playing as always, keep it up!
It’s a great little amp, I have no idea why people bash it… Great playing and proving the little beast can sound great when the one holding it can actually play… I’ve got the 50 and love it… I run mine on high and use an attenuator to lower the volume when needed, it’s crazy loud w a 4/12…
Sounds so clear. I thought the same thing about the Silver Jubilee when you demoed that. They just have this clarity/definition to them that I don't hear in a lot of solid state amps.
I know this video is 4 years old or more but I just bought the Origin 20 head after viewing this video for the 3rd time. Got it at a great price but more importantly, if I can achieve the tones in this video then it’s worth getting this amp. I have all the pedals but sometimes I just want to plug in and play. Thanks Dave
As a man who's in similar follicular situation, I highly recommend going to a hair stylist and asking their recommendation for a new style. I know it's not nice to hear comments like this, but it has helped me and many others in this situation alot. You're a good looking dude man, get yourself a cut that compliments your look and situation. You'll be thankful afterwards, I promise
recently bought this to try 30day return if i want. itsvery clean and loud which is great. can do metal with pedals , but 80% i do clean and blues and funk anyway. and it responds to variation of pickups and vol knob really well. it shows that at the start bit of your playing. way better than my Boss kat head, that is like a compressor is on. great variation great playing to showcase what the amp does. sick of all the simple metal head demos!!
Just bought one and it’s the best amp I’ve had so far thanks to your video from Utah. Never had a tube amp before but the price was just right and got a good deal.
Dave my friend, I don't know what it is about Marshall valvies that just seem to switch on that hard rock/metal edge into your playing - I really dig it muchos and I can tell that when you go there you are in yet another of your sound phenomenon zones that you seem to pull out of the ether effortlessly - Phewwwhh, just great stuff man. But then you immediately hit me right between the eyes with Rory and Billy G just to remind me where my guitar heart lies. I cannot tell you how much your playing means to me - It is thee bomb my Very Sir. God Bless You and Simpsonly don't stop, it's far too important a message to get across that just must continue to exist until the end of time.

@@adamlitchfield3371honestly the whole point of the Origin is that you Crank it up to get the tone. If you want Marshall honestly the DSL series is killer Marshall tones ! I've got the DSL 1 watt head unit and the DSL 40 combo and the 1 watt is loud believe it or not ! The 40 can do everything the Origin can on its clean channel and then 2 more Gain channels after that ! Run the red on low gain for classic JCM 800 Marshall Rock tones and I love it ! You can find cheap Origins since they weren't expensive to begin with but you have to crank em up or use drive pedals so if that's what you want to do then go for it. If you Don't want to worry about matching pedal and speaker combinations then just find a used EVH iconic 40 combo as it's everything in the box and it's a monster tube amp ! 😂 Good luck on your search!
Such an underrated guitarist fricken dude is hardcore. Haven't been here in a while congrats on breaking 100k! It's hard to judge your amp reviews because you are so talented you can make a potatoe sound like a plexi lol
Also, please do a video on that Alice In Chains tome you got! I’m still trying to tame the amp to get some Hendrix sounds along with some more grungy sounds.
I've got the origin 20 combo. Fabulous amp. Instant Gary Moore. Takes pedals very well. Great celestion v type speaker. I have 12 amps including Vox AC 15, roland jazz chorus and fender vaporiser. The Marshall is numero uno.
Wait until you hear music on the radio, CD's, mp3's, signed bands, legendary guitar players (past, present and future)! Pretty shocking I know, more than just this guy out there. If he made you speechless, then it's likely we'll never have to see any creepy comments from you ever again! Quick! Google Satriani, Vai, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton, Eddie Van Halen. Hell, from where you're at right now, just look up Kurt Cobain, Lenny Kravitz, Kid Rock, Jake from Two and a Half Men or my cousin J who only has three fingers and one less guitar lesson under his belt and you should be in your silent zen state for us all to enjoy. Go get 'em Simon Cowell Jr,! Find that talent out there!
I know whenever I’m looking at new amps to come to Dave’s videos. If it weren’t for Dave I’d spend forever trying to find someone playing my favorite Frusciante riffs through it (which is what I’m going to do anyway)
i played this amp in a shop! it very very very loud at full power and you crank it,it s madness! so i put it in a slow mode plus a xotic premp booster.... it sounded huge and usuable for bedroom level
As usually, you are just a phenomenal guitarist. The intro piece alone should sell this amp. I have the Origin 50 that I run into a 2x12 loaded with G12H30 and a V30 and love the tones..which reminds me very much of a 71 Superlead I had 37 years ago! I think these are great values for a plexi style amp...but then again...you make solid state sound great..!!
I'm torn between the DSL20 and Origin 20 heads. I can't test them myself so I just read about them. I've been seeing complaints about the Origin 20, like 'it only sounds good when cranked, not a bedroom amp", "It sounds harsh and trebly compared to the dsl", "It sounds like a vox".... But I come back to this intro and it beats all negative comments.
I think a lot of it comes down to speakers people are using - stock ones on the combos or in the cabs are not great. Also, I’ve heard that they need a bit of time to be ‘broken in’ and they don’t sound quite as trebley.
@@Tone-Oz I got the DSL20 head, but coming back and hearing this, after owning the DSL for a while, I know you'll be happy with either one. They're like very close siblings. I put the head with a WGS Green Beret, and see at 3:40 where he goes dirty, the Origin and DSL sounds EXACTLY the same. I use a JHS 3 series reverb, and TC electronics spark with a boss OD3 for the dirt.
Hot Damn YOU sound great!, You make this amp sound awesome! You play just the right stuff to show-off the vintage tones of this great amp! AND it sounds epic! This VDO helped convince me to buy one! Yes it's all your fault!
I know this is an older video, but at 3:45...damn. I mean D A M N! That was immense. Listening to some reviews and playthroughs, I was concerned about it being too brittle with P90's (in 4 of my 5 guitars). After watching what you did with that Tele, I have no doubt the only reason this amp won't sound good is because of my terrible playing. Great job...new sub!
I just got this amp today. It's awesome. I too would rather have a Marshall Silver Jubilee, but it doesn't sound double the price good compared to this amp. Loved the demo! subscribed
@@srh361 Dave has bought some of them, In the last video he said he was going to buy the revelation les paul with the hv58's and hes recently not long ago bought a fender amp i do believe. I know some are just on loan. But his personal collection is always growing.
Thanks for the demo. I have an Origin50 and really love it. I'm not sure why it gets all the hate but I think it mostly boils down to people not understanding how vintage Marshalls work and sound. I've got a 20c combo on the way too, hoping it sounds good with the 10" speaker which I've never used in my gigging amp before.
Awesome Playing and great tone I've had my origins 20C for 6 Months Very good amp and I own 3 marshall's and Have owned a lot of marshals some that I still Miss & boat load of Other Guitar amps. I can't find nothing not to like about The Martial origins By itself or with other cabinets. Vintage 30 my least favorite Still a great speaker. & A bunch of Celestion Speakers That Sound awesome my. My favorites With the origins are old JBL, Altech Lansing, And a Celestion Sidewinder Their version of EV . Keep playing Playing and do what you do.
I fully agree with you. It's an affordable plexi. Unbelievable that we can get this much amp for this price. Tilt + presence makes it extremely versatile, you can run the brightest strats or darkest lps and it works with all of them. Takes boosts and overdrives like a dream. Fuzzfaces sound *amazing* on it. The power soak does sound like rubbish, got it always on high. All in all, if you like 60/70s guitar and rock music in general, and don't have a ton of cash to spend, this is *the* amp to buy.
I just listened to this again (and enjoyed it again). It's just amazing how "Marshall" it sounds. I've had two 100watters, a JCM800 (diode-yuck) and a JVM210. The obvious part is that they we just too darned powerful for me to get 'that' tone. Every once in a while, the JVM would touch on it (usually a low gain setting, but cranked into my 4x12), but to be quote honest, I never really figured it out in the 6+ yrs I had it. As soon as I would 'kind of' get it sorted, I would off to one of my other amps, and then would forget how to milk the JVM. I'm a simple, no channel-switching type. My 20H has been impressing me the more and more I play it and find its sweet spots. I've got a 2nd Origin 2x12 coming next week. I'm planning to stack them side-by-side and then swap the top left of one, and bottom right of the other. If you happen to have any speaker recommendations to work with the Seventy-80s and the 20H, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Need to be at least 60w and smoother highs and better lows and low-mids. I was never a fan of the G75Ts.
@@matthewkennedy7283 welp, the "New Amp buzz" wore off. About a month ago I got a JTM45 RI (30 watter) and am pumping it through my two 2x12 verticals w/ the 70/80s. Amazingly warm and rich sounding. The Origin? I'm unloading it asap (though in the meantime, at least it looks good sitting atop the JTM!). I've got several other cabs, but for now, I'm going to crank the JTM through them and see if they loosen up, but it really is night and day between the two heads, and my other amps. Just reinforces the limp, brash, shrill, tone of the Origin. I bought it used, so I should be able to break even on it. -It just boggles my mind that my beloved EL34s + 12Ax7s can produce such a thin tone.
This video may have been why I originally subscribed. (Glad I did). Either way, I don't need but want the Studio Vintage 20 head, but the Origin 20 head would be easier on limited funds.
I have the combo version of the origin 20 and its a great amp. I'm still finding new tones that comes out of it. Being a blues player and a huge fan of Cream and early Peter Green Fleetwood Mac this amp is perfect. Great for big bassy blues tones. Dave this is the best video on this amp for sure. Thanks for posting.
Nice review Dave. Re the bright sound on the lowest setting, if your practicing at a low volume a bit of top end definitely helps. When my neighbour’s are in I use a graphic eq to stop my house amp from sounding muddy at low volumes. Like that Tele 👍
You a Tele player Dave, I think you've found your master ... ha ha ... I have the Origins 50C and I too don't care for the low setting, it's okay for low home practice but the Medium power setting is best for me, Originally I wanted the 20C but I could not pass on a local deal that came up for USD$400 in mint condition for the 50C. Yes it takes pedals like a champ !! Great demo and keep up the great work
Wish you'd done the solo from the Isle of White performance @ 24:00 Still available on youtube somewhere .. the footage of Rory just ripping those bends and staring off in to the sunset. Epic! What a band Taste were. Shame it ended so soon. Also I couldn't help but sing along (rightly or wrongly hehe) @ 25:10 "Fish camp woman .. Oh, I like the way you smell darlin'." :)
The Tilt is supposed to be a control that blends from a normal channel tone to a treble channel tone as if you were jumpering channels on a four input amp like a JTM-45. So fully left is like being in the normal channel, fully right is like being in the treble channel, and in between is a blend.
Good God damn.... intro jam is the perfect example of why I play guitar... I hear alot of Mark knopfler and buckethead Influence in there .. made my day
Man...seems like you make every amp you play sound good! If you every get your hands on a Origin 50 I'd love to hear one of those. I'm thinking of picking one up...cheers from Kentucky!
Leo Cookman if you plan on using higher gain, you’ll probably want it cranked, since the master volume is before the phase inverter, but even a 0.1w amp can damage your hearing when cranked, so crank at your own risk
I think you have just helped sign the deal! Your playing is so sympathetic to the amp and what it is asking of a player. I was in a conundrum about if I should go for the 20 or 50 but I don’t think there is that doubt anymore! Just need to go and try one for myself. Cheers 🍻 SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Great demo Dave as always but what puts me off of these amps is the PCB mounted valves and pots, rather like the MGs these amps are beginning to find their way on to electrical engineers benches already 🤔 respect and best wishes to you Dave as always. 🙂👍🇬🇧
You nailed the Free and Fleetwood Mac riffs. I love that late 60s, early 70s blues rock era and can spend hours noodling away on that stuff. Vintage Marshalls are the dogs for me. The ability to blend the normal and high treble channels on a plexi make it such an incredibly versatile amp? People always think it's a heavy rock amp. It is of course, but the clean tones are just brilliant and can complete with any great clean amps, Fenders included.
Marshall makes beautiful sounding amps just not made very well circuit board mounted tube sockets are a bad idea for working musicians. Dave you are one of the best!!!
If you were playing in a band thirty years ago all us old guys would have at least one t shirt with you on it.
Thirty years ago, I would still have been one of the old guys!!!
Odd place to find videos for your spank bank...
I think that’s Dave on his tshirt 😂
Best comment ever!!!!!!!!! And true!!!
Dave Simpson tattoo for Xmas... LoL... Life is but a dream... Hi Yaw!
Always my favorite Tele look, sunburst, double bound, rosewood board.
Its a real classic look isn't it. :)

I had a MIJ Fennder Tele Custom that looked just like it. Awesome guitar. So I got drunk at a guitar show and traded it away like an idiot! 😮

Dave, you sound great with anything, but this is fantastic through this little valve Marshall. Feel the valves, Dave.
I don’t no why but I’m always waiting for his mom to come through the door screaming “Turn that shit down!” at any moment.

i played this amp in a shop! it very very very loud at full power and you crank it,it s madness! so i put it in a slow mode plus a xotic premp booster.... it sounded huge and usuable for bedroom level
Wow. That into is next level. Thank you for that, Sir. 🎸
As usually, you are just a phenomenal guitarist. The intro piece alone should sell this amp. I have the Origin 50 that I run into a 2x12 loaded with G12H30 and a V30 and love the tones..which reminds me very much of a 71 Superlead I had 37 years ago! I think these are great values for a plexi style amp...but then again...you make solid state sound great..!!
Thank you very much. :)
I keep coming back just to listen to this. Fantastic. Rock on !
I'm torn between the DSL20 and Origin 20 heads. I can't test them myself so I just read about them. I've been seeing complaints about the Origin 20, like 'it only sounds good when cranked, not a bedroom amp", "It sounds harsh and trebly compared to the dsl", "It sounds like a vox".... But I come back to this intro and it beats all negative comments.
I think a lot of it comes down to speakers people are using - stock ones on the combos or in the cabs are not great. Also, I’ve heard that they need a bit of time to be ‘broken in’ and they don’t sound quite as trebley.
Did you end up getting one and are you happy with it? I'm in same boat.
@@Tone-Oz I got the DSL20 head, but coming back and hearing this, after owning the DSL for a while, I know you'll be happy with either one. They're like very close siblings. I put the head with a WGS Green Beret, and see at 3:40 where he goes dirty, the Origin and DSL sounds EXACTLY the same. I use a JHS 3 series reverb, and TC electronics spark with a boss OD3 for the dirt.
Dave kills it yet again!!!!! I wish I could express myself like that with my guitar
Hot Damn YOU sound great!, You make this amp sound awesome!
You play just the right stuff to show-off the vintage tones of this great amp! AND it sounds epic! This VDO helped convince me to buy one! Yes it's all your fault!
I know this is an older video, but at 3:45...damn. I mean D A M N! That was immense. Listening to some reviews and playthroughs, I was concerned about it being too brittle with P90's (in 4 of my 5 guitars). After watching what you did with that Tele, I have no doubt the only reason this amp won't sound good is because of my terrible playing. Great job...new sub!
Oh yes! Immense !
Great job !
Came for the amp demo, loved the playing ❤️👏
Really would like one of these. Such flexibility with the output switching.
I just got this amp today. It's awesome. I too would rather have a Marshall Silver Jubilee, but it doesn't sound double the price good compared to this amp. Loved the demo! subscribed
Thank you very much. :)
YES! ETERNAL LIFE !!!! DUDE! IT WAS AMAZINGLY SPOT ON! Nice.
Thank you very much. : )
This amp is pretty much 70s hard rock and new wave of British heavy metal. Buying one ASAP
John Frusciante looks like Rory Gallagher on that shirt... two of the best to ever do it!!!
Nice to see your collection growing and having a good choice of guitars and amps.
These amps and guitars are on loan to Dave, he says so in the videos.
@@srh361 Dave has bought some of them, In the last video he said he was going to buy the revelation les paul with the hv58's and hes recently not long ago bought a fender amp i do believe. I know some are just on loan. But his personal collection is always growing.
The Les Paul sounded awesome mate. Nice demo of a very cool amp. Cheers.
Thanks for the demo. I have an Origin50 and really love it. I'm not sure why it gets all the hate but I think it mostly boils down to people not understanding how vintage Marshalls work and sound. I've got a 20c combo on the way too, hoping it sounds good with the 10" speaker which I've never used in my gigging amp before.
Origin20, great little amp, decent grit when wanted, super clean when wanted. One of these and an Orange OR15 and Id be super stoked!
Awesome Playing and great tone I've had my origins 20C for 6 Months Very good amp and I own 3 marshall's and Have owned a lot of marshals some that I still Miss & boat load of Other Guitar amps. I can't find nothing not to like about The Martial origins By itself or with other cabinets. Vintage 30 my least favorite Still a great speaker. & A bunch of Celestion Speakers That Sound awesome my. My favorites With the origins are old JBL, Altech Lansing, And a Celestion Sidewinder Their version of EV . Keep playing Playing and do what you do.
I fully agree with you. It's an affordable plexi. Unbelievable that we can get this much amp for this price. Tilt + presence makes it extremely versatile, you can run the brightest strats or darkest lps and it works with all of them. Takes boosts and overdrives like a dream. Fuzzfaces sound *amazing* on it. The power soak does sound like rubbish, got it always on high. All in all, if you like 60/70s guitar and rock music in general, and don't have a ton of cash to spend, this is *the* amp to buy.
I don't think it sounds like a "Plexi", but it kinda sounds like modern day jtm45 with solid state rectifier, kinda but not really.
@@auntjenifer7774 the jtm45 is a plexi
Dave man, you're such an amazing guitar player
i like the rendition of 21 guns intro in the begininng
That Helical style intro is great! Beautiful tone!
Thank you very much. : )
I just listened to this again (and enjoyed it again). It's just amazing how "Marshall" it sounds. I've had two 100watters, a JCM800 (diode-yuck) and a JVM210. The obvious part is that they we just too darned powerful for me to get 'that' tone. Every once in a while, the JVM would touch on it (usually a low gain setting, but cranked into my 4x12), but to be quote honest, I never really figured it out in the 6+ yrs I had it. As soon as I would 'kind of' get it sorted, I would off to one of my other amps, and then would forget how to milk the JVM.
I'm a simple, no channel-switching type. My 20H has been impressing me the more and more I play it and find its sweet spots. I've got a 2nd Origin 2x12 coming next week. I'm planning to stack them side-by-side and then swap the top left of one, and bottom right of the other.
If you happen to have any speaker recommendations to work with the Seventy-80s and the 20H, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Need to be at least 60w and smoother highs and better lows and low-mids. I was never a fan of the G75Ts.
No matter what you do, just get rid of the seventy-80
@@matthewkennedy7283 welp, the "New Amp buzz" wore off. About a month ago I got a JTM45 RI (30 watter) and am pumping it through my two 2x12 verticals w/ the 70/80s. Amazingly warm and rich sounding. The Origin? I'm unloading it asap (though in the meantime, at least it looks good sitting atop the JTM!).
I've got several other cabs, but for now, I'm going to crank the JTM through them and see if they loosen up, but it really is night and day between the two heads, and my other amps. Just reinforces the limp, brash, shrill, tone of the Origin. I bought it used, so I should be able to break even on it.
-It just boggles my mind that my beloved EL34s + 12Ax7s can produce such a thin tone.
I loved that intro. I needed to hear that today. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you very much and i am happy to hear that. : )
This video may have been why I originally subscribed. (Glad I did). Either way, I don't need but want the Studio Vintage 20 head, but the Origin 20 head would be easier on limited funds.
Eventually, we all have to move on.
I have the combo version of the origin 20 and its a great amp. I'm still finding new tones that comes out of it. Being a blues player and a huge fan of Cream and early Peter Green Fleetwood Mac this amp is perfect. Great for big bassy blues tones. Dave this is the best video on this amp for sure. Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much. : )
Nice review Dave. Re the bright sound on the lowest setting, if your practicing at a low volume a bit of top end definitely helps. When my neighbour’s are in I use a graphic eq to stop my house amp from sounding muddy at low volumes. Like that Tele 👍
Thank you very much and that is a very good point. : )
you dont disappoint with your videos dave. fantastic as usual
I try not to. Thank you very much. : )
Dave Simpson in all seriousness on latest question/answer video. Have you considered using a VPN to mask your location 👍
Turned out nice again, golden brown one might say ; - ) I half expected a jape or jest on this April of fools day.
Nice demo Dave. 👍🏻
Thank you very much. : )
You a Tele player Dave, I think you've found your master ... ha ha ... I have the Origins 50C and I too don't care for the low setting, it's okay for low home practice but the Medium power setting is best for me, Originally I wanted the 20C but I could not pass on a local deal that came up for USD$400 in mint condition for the 50C. Yes it takes pedals like a champ !! Great demo and keep up the great work
The smile on his face says a lot...! xD
I´m buying one!
Great demo ! I just bought one its my new go too amp 😎 cheers Dave thanks
Wish you'd done the solo from the Isle of White performance @ 24:00
Still available on youtube somewhere .. the footage of Rory just ripping those bends and staring off in to the sunset. Epic! What a band Taste were. Shame it ended so soon.
Also I couldn't help but sing along (rightly or wrongly hehe) @ 25:10
"Fish camp woman .. Oh, I like the way you smell darlin'." :)
The Tilt is supposed to be a control that blends from a normal channel tone to a treble channel tone as if you were jumpering channels on a four input amp like a JTM-45. So fully left is like being in the normal channel, fully right is like being in the treble channel, and in between is a blend.
Good God damn.... intro jam is the perfect example of why I play guitar... I hear alot of Mark knopfler and buckethead Influence in there .. made my day
Man...seems like you make every amp you play sound good! If you every get your hands on a
Origin 50 I'd love to hear one of those. I'm thinking of picking one up...cheers from Kentucky!
Thank you very much. :)
Jesus wept! As a beginner, I hope one day to have even a faction of your talent.
Tilt is a tilt eq if you turn it left it adds bass but removes treble and vice versa
I got this woth the mx412 and I love it..such a classic tone. Great demo.
am i the only one hearing someone screaming at 8:54 ?
I definitely heard one at 10:35
sounds like kids outside
Hahaha kids suck!
It is indeed kids out doors being rowdy. :)
@@thedavesimpson Tell them to quieten down the racket! You're trying to play guitar!
Tilt replaces the jumper on the plexi and makes it adjustable
Now I really want one of these amps...
Leo Cookman if you plan on using higher gain, you’ll probably want it cranked, since the master volume is before the phase inverter, but even a 0.1w amp can damage your hearing when cranked, so crank at your own risk
I think you have just helped sign the deal! Your playing is so sympathetic to the amp and what it is asking of a player. I was in a conundrum about if I should go for the 20 or 50 but I don’t think there is that doubt anymore! Just need to go and try one for myself. Cheers 🍻 SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Great demo Dave as always but what puts me off of these amps is the PCB mounted valves and pots, rather like the MGs these amps are beginning to find their way on to electrical engineers benches already 🤔 respect and best wishes to you Dave as always. 🙂👍🇬🇧
i can listen you play guitar all day
Thank you very much. : )
Cracked up laughing cause I also like the font of the origin logo too!
I love the way you get stuck in & just enjoy playing. 👍
Thank you for the great review and such gorgeous playing!
Man, your playing really makes me feel something❤️
You nailed the Free and Fleetwood Mac riffs. I love that late 60s, early 70s blues rock era and can spend hours noodling away on that stuff. Vintage Marshalls are the dogs for me. The ability to blend the normal and high treble channels on a plexi make it such an incredibly versatile amp? People always think it's a heavy rock amp. It is of course, but the clean tones are just brilliant and can complete with any great clean amps, Fenders included.
Thank you very much. : )
love the John Frusciante influence🎸🔥
Marshall makes beautiful sounding amps just not made very well circuit board mounted tube sockets are a bad idea for working musicians. Dave you are one of the best!!!
that opening jam though 0_0
Thank you very much. :)
This is probably what I'm going to end up getting cause I want tube and this is very affordable and I'm just playing in my house
Watch out! The 0.5 W channel is very loud... if you want a crunch tone.
