Just bought a 2019 Marshall DSL40c for my 17 year old son. Sounds fantastic with a Strat and a LP Standard. Great amp lots of tonal range. Freaking loud too!
I have an origin 50h and love it it but beware, the origin name is not merely marketing. It is very very much a classic " origin era" marshall, not a modern high gain marshall. To really get it to break up and get it in its sweet spot, you have to crank it and push it hard. I love that about it, but a lot of reviews are giving it a bad rep because they buy an origin and expect a dsl or jcm 900. It is definately not for gainiacs or people who cant handle a LOT of volume. HOWEVER, if you are familiar with the old school jtm 45 through 70's jmp and that's what you are going for, then the origin will make you real real happy. To give you an idea just how loud the origin 50 head is...next to a stock 50 watt 77 jmp, there was a mere 3 db volume difference. Its THAT loud and honestly a lil more " articulate" . Dont let the price or place of manufacturing fool ya, this is a STELLAR amp, and truly captures that old school mojo.
@@rowdyjohnson6026 Right on Brother. I could tell the Origin is one bitchin' SWEET amp just by listening to dozens of videos ( some done well and some done horribly......not the amp's fault ). Even with the compressed signal onto youtube, I can really hear what this amp is all about. I am dying to get this Origin 20c ( combo ). Me: lifelong guitarist/blues harp/lead singer/stage performer for decades. ( retired from the club scene in 2002 ) I owned an all-original pre-CBS Fender Blackface Champ ( wish I never sold it )........a 50w JCM 800 combo......and later, a 100w JCM 900 2x12 combo. And I actually prefer the Origin.......from what I'm hearing. Because all my life, I was striving to get that vintage Plexi/JTM tone.
Well i bought the origin 20 combo and thought this is a great little amp. Looks cool, sounds great but is lacking one thing that is very important to me....the gain stage. The gain on the amp shows up nicely when its loud...i bought it because i hoped it could get to that gain stage in the 0.1 watt mode without getting to loud...I took a chance and returned it to Sweetwater, who BTW is the best place to buy any gear from period, and bought the new blackstar series one 10 watt KT88 amp and this one gets down and dirty for sure. The only flaw on that amp is it does not has the DPR feature which would have made it spectacular. It sound great at low volumes, like all blackstars do, but to get loud enough clean, which sounds excellent, you have to turn the volume up loud, then when you channel switch the volume quadruples...you can see the dilemna there...perhaps an expression pedal will allow me to even the volumes out. Overall im keeping the Blackstar. but the origin was indeed a great amp. I really need to try that DSL40CR next.....
Lance hey lance that origin was a great little amp. I did not put any pedals on it but I can tell it would respond great. Perfect world I would have kept it and just added the black star series one 10 watt. I love that amp as well. I think for home use their both wonderful amps. I’m still thinking about going to a Mesa Lonestar special 30 watt. That is my dream amp for home use. I actually have my eye on one right now for a grand. To directly answer your question I think a tube screamer would be great on the origin....👍👍
Maybe it's his settings, but the clean sounds from DSL40C at 2:38 sounded so much sweeter than the Origin20C at 6:57. To my ears anyway. Thought the Origin sounded tinny harsh!
I think it's because of the 10" speaker in the Origin vs the 12" speaker in the DSL.12" has more bottom and sounds sweeter.10" sounds better when paired.
The classic Plexi high treble channel is very very ice pick until you start to drive the power tubes hard or alternatively blend in the normal channel and add some mids. To me it's representing the range of vintage Marshall tones pretty accurately. Everyone expects the vintage Marshall tone to sound like Eddie Van Halen and it can, but only if you know how to set it up that way.
It is because of the settings, I played it and for the price it sounds and feels very good. You can't notice that's 10" speaker. Amp is not too big and heavy and you can easy carry around. Recommend origin for the pedal platform.
The bummer with the Origin is it being just a single channel amp. You'd almost have to go with pedals to have that clean sound option unless you can get by with rolling the volume back on the guitar. If it had 2 channels I'd go for it but I think the DSL40C is the one for me.
I have the older version of the dsl40c. This new one looks so good, and it sounds great as well. I guess i wouldn’t need an attenuator if i bought one of these after they put a couple master volumes on it. Lol
The new one has a digital reverb, think I’ll stick with trying to find an older spring reverb model. Question for you, how loud is it without the attenuator?
lupo10 i was able to play in front of my high school stadium at about volume 4-5 about two years prior to the original comment on the clean channel (crunch enabled playing with a Fender Strat). Nowadays in my bedroom it sits around a 1 since i have roommates, but is still loud enough to be heard clearly for my own room.
@@LuterofromTx thank you, that’s really helpful. There is a shop in Sheffield that has a DSL401 and a DSL201 (40w and 20w) which I’ll mostly play at home, when I’m alone I can crank it but when the wife and kids were in I was worried it wouldn’t play nicely low enough not to piss them off.
I notice he changes the various modes on the amp by hand - Marshall has still NOT released the larger footswitch for switching off or on the loop/effects send/return and between the four modes. I really hope Marshall gets this together, because without it, the amp will be difficult to use to it's full potential in a live situation.
Get a Plexi kit, build it yourself, slap a Marshall logo on it and it'll be closer to a real Plexi that Jim Marshall hired someone to build than anything coming out from the Marshall company nowadays. Its all basic schematics, but all the PCB boards coming from China are really killing the musical instrument industry. These things were dirt cheap in the 50's and 60's because of the basic electrical circuits. No magic here folks!
you should start putting the preamp back in those amps thats what makes them sound like the old plexie, these amps are not worth haveing i have the 40 watt its garbage for sound!!
Why do the dudes in demo videos always sound like they're playing a demo rather than sounding musical?! They actually make the amps sound quite shitty.

Loud? It should be! It’s 40 watts! 😳🙌🏻
@@davidbrucemusicvideo We have a 72 Super Reverb with 4x 10 and 45 watts and that is LOUD.
@@stephenhope7319 like I said above... 👆🏻👆🏻
4:00 for origin info 6:56 for sound
Thank you for being the first one that actually says that the new origin line is all valve and mid priced!!
finally a great sounding amp, with real Marshall tone. Im buying the 20W for sure.
God I love Marshall amps need to get myself one of the new origin models

I bought a DCL 40 over a year ago.... never been used until tonight due to stupid reasons...but can’t wait to finally get it warmed up!
dont know how you managed that. i would play on my new amps on the ride home from the store if i could lol
The only problem is they aren’t in my living room
The Origin series sounds amazing.
*Both amps sound sweet as F@CK !!! \m/*
These amps sound great...i need one.

I'm thinking about buying the 20 watt origin, curious if you tried putting a tubescreamer in front of the amp before returning it?

The dsl ya boy
I was in love with Marshall tone until I heard/played on a Bogner.
Bogner is great, but very expensive.
I already have the DSL 20HR and it is awesome.
Cool! I love the origin and. I want one!

I also have a V30 instead of the Seventy 80 so i’m not sure if there would be a noticeable difference between the two speakers.

Loving those amps and great voice on the interviewer too
Bolton Michael Brummie in California, nice one!

It’s sold separately

Where are they made?
Made in Vietnum
Just like Vox
Get a Plexi kit, build it yourself, slap a Marshall logo on it and it'll be closer to a real Plexi that Jim Marshall hired someone to build than anything coming out from the Marshall company nowadays.

So tired of hearing the same licks from all of these demos. Soooo uninspiring.
Ugh, they sound like a swarm of bee's....I am also biased at 60 yrs old player
Evh amps are better
No way Bro. these are tubes like the old Jimi Hendrix daze and confuzed Bro.
Carlos Lozada Only problem with the EVH amps is the terrible hiss/noise.
It depends what sound you are going for.
