- WARNINGS:
- About three minutes of just talking at the front end. If you just want to hear the playing skip about the first three minutes.
- I crank this amp up, so if you turn up to hear me talking, be prepared to quickly turn the volume down when I play.
Just a guitar and the amp. No pedals. Guitar is a bone stock 2010 Gibson Les Paul Studio with 490R and 498T. Cab is a Marshall 1960A with G12T75.
Audio unfortunately is iPhone. All I have with video. I hope you can get the general idea.
This amp, for a Marshal, has a lovely clean sound that goes on much further than a Plexi, JCM 8 or 900, even the DSL series and from my standpoint, this is great because although we all love both high and low gain Marshal tones the clean sound is often lost with any decent amount of volume. The gain is nicely low gain rather than high gain and is, to my ears, quite Plexi like.
Nice video, Sean, thanks for the upload.
Its a poor mans Plexi-sorta. The Marshall SV20H is no doubt the true Plexi tone, but at nearly 3x the price.
I realized after the fact that I didn't do anything with the Tilt control. I'll be happy to do another with that if anyone is really interested.
Sean Kerns I am

yes I am
If you have a tilt that’ll give you the plexi sound, which is what we are looking for, I think you should have it at the max, just like you did.
Good honest demo man. I've been recently eyeing the 20 watt version. I believe they had some small fx loop issues at launch, but these amps seem to be the 'tamed" Plexi fans have always wanted.
Love how the camera shakes on the “Low” power setting haha
Vintage style Marshall with mid scooped T 75s .strange combo . Old Marshall's are all about that sweet midrange.
I think i want one. It has that woody, organic sound, to me anyway. Is it the upper mids? It sounds like an old Marshall to me. 6:19
It is a very classic sound. I've heard it compared to a JTM45.
Just bought this amp not too long ago, This amp is fucking sick, anyone who disagrees can *eat my ass*
Does it have enough headroom for gigging?
Plenty, and it likes pedals, too.
@@SeanKerns awesome thank u, I've been thinking of saving for one but I wasn't sure if it would stay clean at a high volume as I tend to use distortion pedals and not amp distortion
Lonely nights by Bryan Adams! That was unexpected 🙂Great riff!
i like the gain.not to heavy.
6:30 Okay, there's the grit. Tasty!
Aw gee sus, too much big boy distortion, how about some tasteful clean sounds, anyone can make a racket like that, possibly a MG DFX 50 watter would give better sounds and have good reliability for a few years where as the Origins tend to end up on electrical engineers benches too often for repairs and mods.
Here's part two, showing the Tilt control: ua-cam.com/video/Og-U-r8h7S4/v-deo.html
That’s pretty much like the settings I use. Some people basically disappear the treble, I don’t know why.
Been thinking of getting one as a clean platform to run my Bogner Ecstasy Mini...
This is probably one of the best demo videos for the origin! Better than what Marshall even put out there. Thank you for using a Lester for the demo, that’s what I think we all wanted to hear. I’m really digging the plexi-ish tones out of this amp. I had a 4 hole 100 watt for years, but I sold it because it’s just not practical for me now. This might just be the ticket!
Thanks for doing a demo with a Gibson! Almost all demos use Fenders nowadays.
Jose fender guitars are cool and have awesome tone :)
I'm not saying that it wouldn't sound good with a Fender or that Fenders aren't awesome guitars but I do not own and a lot of people own Gibsons or other brands that are not used as much for demos so then you never really know how it will sound with your guitar.
I got mine delivered today off PMT it just lights up doesn't make a sound at all guttered
glad you made this video, the others where with lame strats/stupid pedals in front......highly appreciated! Cheers!
I wonder how the gain sounds when pushed with a Boss Super Overdrive or a Tube Screamer? Do you have any of those or equivalent?
I have a bunch of dirt boxes, including a TS-9 and an SD-1. My favorite into it so far has been a Chase Bliss Brothers. I'll do a quick vid with the Tube Screamer and Super Overdrive a bit later.
Sean Kerns, that would be awesome.
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/9vxAk3IgxAg/v-deo.html
Sean Kerns awesome!
@@annanthony5754 Go cry about it
GREAT JOB!! Best Origin demo I've seen yet. Nice to hear a real LP w/humbuckers straight into this amp, most demos are with strats. Thanx.
Celestion G-12 75's are the great standard . Own this and the 1992 SLP 100w Reissue and there's ringing tonal qualities that make great pedal hungry amps . This tone print for greatness . Treble is Trouble !
I had a Marshall dsl 20 head and it wasn’t loud enough on its own
Lucky I had my bd2 waza craft to boost it , and it got mad loud. But.......!
Today I got my hands on the origin 50, I traded my dsl and an extra ocd pedal I had , and I only paid 200 something ..
I am soooo in love with the origin , way louder and when I crank it it’s all I’ve been looking for , the tilt is super nice too , no reverb but excellent bang for your bucks.
No replacement for displacement
Sounds great, thanks for sharing. Marshall finally came out with a new amp line that hits the target. They should be able to compete with the Fender Hot Rod series now. So far the only thing I don’t like is the Origin logo - looks goofy to me but oh well.
The power scaling actually goes as follows. 12w 25w 50w. It does not go down to one watt like all the dumb ass crooked people state on ebay. Otherwise if it did go down to one watt, it would blow up the fucking EL34's and the cathode bias resistors. My point is, they always tell lies about shit to better their Marketing chances at selling the amp.
Can actually run it with no speaker all thanks to that power scaling going so far down, kemosabi!
The scale goes roughly 50w, 10w, 1w... as per original manual....
What a wonderful show. Please please play more vids. From around 7:00 you used the half power mode and have a clinic on Les Paul Marshall. I lived my Marshall...too powerful..this may be my thing.....Sold a Fender super 6 for a 70s non master.50.. I'll be watching
You really describe the old Marshall tone.. thank you brother
Wow. That's way more gain that all the other videos I watched. (I think I watched all of them...) And no... I don't have a GAS problem... That's a damn lie! I want to know who said that!!!
Maybe the other guys were using single coils or low output humbuckers?
thx for the demo..been looking at one of these...sounds great
I know these arn't made for metal with tight low end and stuff like that; But I wonder if they would work for that purpose? I was looking at one of these for a kind of multi genre amp. What are your thoughts on that @sean kerns?
Well, certainly out of the box, it is not a metal amp. What it is, however, is a really, really good pedal platform. So, to that extent, I think, paired with the right pedal(s), it could do nearly anything.
Would we consider a Marshall JTM/JMP plexi a suitable metal amp? XD
Pedals don't care what your amp is...
Get a dsl
I wonder too, because the later plexis the jmp and the early 800s had tightness. They’re actually great metal amps
i either went deaf or this person is whispering
What?
the tones at 7 min sound fantastic, very plexi'ish/JCM 800 ish almost. my class 5 died and i think i need this amp. although i did get a Freidman PT20 and its amazing, to me its a different animal than a Marshall. the Origin series sounds legit. great demo.
you should look on ebay for a vintage tube for the number one slot, good demo,, i would like to hear it react to your guitar volume,,
How would you suppose this would sound through a Marshall JCM 900 Lead - 1960 cab?
That's what I'm playing it through - well, a 30th anniversary, but same speakers.
I see. I have the same cab, though mine might be an original. None the less, it's an amazing sounding head and an excellent demo my good sir.
This one is from '92.
Okay, then mine might that old too. I don't exactly know since mine was given to me.
Marshall VS blackstar
They're not at all similar. The Blackstar is a much heavier amp. And I no longer have either of them.
@@SeanKerns Didn't you like any of them?
@@pulidomi I liked them all, but I replaced all but a couple of them with my Kemper, which I bought in Summer 2019.
@@SeanKerns thanksssss
Sound like it compresses when you lower the power, maybe it’s the phone or you tube. Not sure that’s a good thing? Thanks a good demo without greenbacks, I sold my cab with green backs.
The volume difference between the power settings was much more noticeable in the room than the phone captures, unfortunately. But this amp does not scale the way a lot of amps do, where they drop from say, pentode to triode on the power tubes. This is apparently more involved and somehow involves voltage changes, though I don't know all the details.
I read a review of this amp yesterday and somebody said in the comments that the master volume wasn't really usable..
Do you confirm or is it true bullshit?
I'm not sure what "not really usable" would mean. Did they just not like the sound?
In fact, I like your demo very much because I heard the acoustic sound of the electric guitar, which gives a good perception of overall volume.. so, thanks :)
Keep in mind his mic probably has some built in compression which makes the amp quieter and acoustic guitar noises louder.
Doesnt sound bad for the price . Definately lacks something my 1987 has from way it sounds here, not sure what, just less definition maybe.
Nice real world review Sean........
THANK YOU for doing an amp review without all these fucking pedals already plugged in
Got the 20, luv it but no standby??? Com'on Marshall
Valve amps don't need standbys.... Look it up, there's no harm in just switching them straight on, not enough voltage to damage whatever people think they'll damage.... It was just a matter of manufacturers started putting them on as a request, people thought they were important additions, people started thinking they were integral, so they kept them on by popular demand.... But it's no worry, you could just turn your guitar volume down...... Or turn the master volume down.... Or just switch it off and back on again, if you really have to?? :-/
Hi Thanks 4 wid! Can U tell me on your opinion which one is better Marshall origin 50 or Blackstar Mkii 50 Tnks 🤘
Sorry, I have never played that model Blackstar, so I can't even offer an opinion. I'd recommend checking out demo vids for the Blackstar, if you're not able to check them out in person.
What's this thing like with a BK Butler overdrive, anyone? I'm looking for Eric Johnson tones, have a pedalboard with all of his pedals. Just need a Plexi like amp to go with, anyone?
To me, this amp sounds just like the B channel on my DSL 20HR's..
Sounds amazing. I like that you recorded with your phone mic. I like to hear the room. Thank you for this demo!
Just ordered on love the tone.
Thanks for the review. Personally, I prefer the simple in the room demos, it gives a much better impression of what the amp really sounds like in a rehearsal or gig.
Do you think the low power setting with the master on the 1-3 range would be good for quiet apartment use?
No. This is fairly quiet - for a Marshall. But it's not "play in the bedroom at 3AM without pissing off people in the next room" quiet.
Sean Kerns damn. I’ll have to try it in person and see if I can somehow get it quiet enough maybe with an attenuator. I have a Marshall DSL 15 and it gets pretty quiet on 2
@@TheMrShoos Well, if a DSL 15 on 2 is quiet enough, this will probably be fine. I only briefly owned a DSL 15, but it was louder.
I’m late but by far this is the proper demo for the origin 50.
Sounds the best with Master and Gain all the way up at low output. Definitely not a hig gain amp, but for the money you cannot get more.
Nice for a master volume Marshall amp. Just needs a pedal boost in front
Great demo! A real Les Paul, with the 50 watt head, into a classic Marshall cab
I have the same amp. Loving it. Here the thing about the power scaling switch... I don’t notice in your video or from my own experience that switch between modes offers a noticeable difference in amp volume. I notice a difference in tube saturation and feel while playing. I believe at the lowest setting the amp has less clean headroom and more drive. Highest setting gives the most clean headroom. Would you agree? (I have the same Blackstar ht50 as well.. :)
It's hard to hear on the video, but in the room, there is a small audible difference from high to mid power, and a really noticeable drop from mid to low power. I get about the same volume on high with the master at about 1, as I get on low with the master more like 6 or 7.
Wow, if i only had seen this video before i bought the DSL. I thought the DSL sounded better compared to those Origin videos, but it was only beause those videos where played using Fenders.
I've had both, and for what they do, the JCM2000 DSLs are great. I haven't been very impressed with the newer series DSLs. They just seem stiff and lifeless to me. If you don't need super high gain from the amp, the Origin is a great amp, and it does take pedals well if you want higher gain sounds.
oh my...
Great review of this amp, seems like a blue collar workhorse...my old 67 Bassman just isn't cutting it in my power trio any more. Figured I would pick one of these up!!!
Good review.How do you think this amp would serve a blues/Allman Brothers sound? Was thinking of the 20 watt head.
mark mc myn The gain that you hear in the demo is pretty much what it is capable of. For classic rock that isn’t too over driven, it would be just fine. For anything more, you would need a pedal.
@@SeanKerns I've got a fender blues junior with a cannibis rex speaker and I run this with the master volume on full and use the gain for volume control. When Duane Allman,Dickey Betts,and Clapton used Marshall's it was great tone.I would like a more aggressive sound,but am a bit torn as to getting a fender princeton/deluxe reverb or jump to a marshall.I live in a town far away from a nearby city,and our music store hasn't any of the amps I mentioned.
@@markmcmyn8967 If you're after that tone, my first suggestion would be a Marshall plexi reissue, a model 1959 or 1987. This would do a passable job, though, especially if the volume needed to get that sound out of a plexi is problematic.
Wow, and that's with ceramic pickups. That's a clean Marshall.
Ceramic? That's an A5.
I use clean as much as dirty. Can you describe the clean sound in the full power position please? Is it at all Fender-like, similar to the old Super Lead?
There's not a whole lot of clean headroom, regardless of power setting. It just isn't designed to be a "clean" amp. That said, at lower gain and volume settings, it sounds a lot to me like a Superlead, which is pretty mid heavy compared to a Fender, and less what I would call "clean", than "slightly dirty". It starts to break up pretty quickly as the volume goes up.
How does it compare to your blackstar? Is the Marshall an overly bright amp or is it fairly warm too?
They're really not even similar, because the Blackstar has so much more gain, reverb, etc., but the Marshall is much warmer than say. my '78 2203. Especially if you use the power scaling to crank it up some.
I'm considering selling my Blackstar ht stage 60 combo as its pretty hefty, and deciding between the Origin 50 and the Blackstar below it in the video. I'm guessing the Blackstar has more high gain? The Origin sounds close to what I need, and I play high gain punk. Also considering the HT 50 mkII but its pricey.
The Blackstar has much, much more gain on tap than the Origin. The Origin is actually a pretty low gain amp for a Marshall.
Screw iPhones I'm using an Android the sound is clear and precise
I realized that u talk alot
More playing less talking
Wow! I'm surprised at how much I dont like that amp. You really have to futz with the power to get any gain. ...and even at 50 watts it sounded flubby and loose. Its engineered completely backwards and any gain you manage to get from it sucks.
What a piece of shit. I'm surprised that Marshall actually released this garbage.
Sorry for your luck bud.
