Nice. This is one of the best comparisons I've seen. They're closer than I would've thought. Would be interesting to see the bass kicked up a bit on the origin 20, other reviewers have said the 50 watt origin is fuller than the 20.
I can hear a difference. But I still just ordered the origin. Thanks so much for the comparisons! To me the origin sounded fine until cranked to 10, which I won’t do. Ac/dc and zeppelin tone were spot on!
Origin series maligned because it's made in vietnam. Ridiculous! I gig with my fifty and it's great. Suspect Marshall will withdraw,series soon and everyone will be saying it was a classic lol!
@@bryanclarke1927 +1, cranking this thing makes all the difference. Master Volume is always dimed and I use the gain as the master. Also, this thing sounds great dimed at full power (no attenuation). Probably going to throw a 12" greenback into my Origin 20
Not likely. It is and sounds like a cheap imitation of the SV20 which IS a classic. Bottom line is if you're on a budget or simply a bedroom player the Origin will suffice. Otherwise the SV20 is the real deal.
BanditPanda are you sure it has the same valves, the jumper tones can be blended on the origin with the tilt control something not possible on the sv20 and the voicing diffences are so subtle between these amp that it becomes a moot point because the Origin is such a good pedal platform the amp could be just dialled in with pedals to match the sv20 .
The Germino sounded good at all levels, and the cleans were unmatched. The Germino was dark and the sound has more of that 3D depth, while the Origin felt a little flatter and had more sizzle, though at high master volumes it became really nice sounding too.
Agree, to me that says that although I am a huge fan of Marshall, perhaps in this case the Germino appears to be a more versatile choice, and the depth IS very noticeable..
Very good video, nice work. They definitely have the same plexi roar thing going on. The origin seems a little thinner, maybe thats easy to overcome dialing back the tilt control and adding some bass. But it sure has enough gain with that boost on!
Pedro Andrade Agreed! They are closer than I would have thought honestly. The Origin is just thinner by nature, but it’s still a great sound and is definitely voiced similarly. For the money, it’s an incredible buy!
Nice Demo thanks.. the Germino does sound awesome, to my ear the Origin range sound closer to the Metal panel Marshalls around 71 onwards, they had a little more bite/gain than earlier plexi models.. I've owned lots of early Marshalls & they all we're great..
Plus unless youre recording or playing a big venue its hard to open em up. I have a 100watt mesa boogie stiletto with a matching straight front cab and forget it. Loudest shit ive ever heard lol. I had a 1971 100w superlead and it was violent lol. Got a splawn and it was easier to generate gain but still too loud. My 20w dsl and 4x12 is just right. Its still to loud for a bar if you just crank it. 100w marshall at full song is 125ish db and the 20watters are 110-115. They arent quiet!
I prefer the sound of the origin, it's like a 70s Marshall, but I think with a bit more on the tilt to EQ it a touch warmer, and tuned to Eb (or lower depending on what I'm playing) it would certainly suit my needs. Just a toss up between the 50w origin or a Laney.
I listened with headphones it sounded really damn close to me, definitely not one for one, but you can get pretty damn close. I did it blind and a few times it had me
the origin sounds more compressed and tad hi fi in comparison. it also has something going on in the bass making it sound a bit more spongy/less tight especially with the boost engaged.
Gotta be honest I dig the origin more especially for cleans it’s more sparkly and full to my ears. Wonder if that’s to do with the rectifier being solid state
The Origin sounds great. My only issue is playing covers where multiple channels are needed. Yes, I can use pedals to achieve what I want, but then that negates the whole point of the amp IMO. I want the power amp to drive hard, not a pedal slamming the front end. Either way, I'd rather have this problem than resort to modeling amps. Am I the only person that thinks those Katanas and other plastic toys sound like sht?
@@blakemansfield2356 NICE! Sounds killer man! Keep it up. Subbed! I got my wife an Origin 50 and I think it's a great amp. A damn good amp for her first amp lol. Keep rockin', you'll get the views with videos like this for sure.
@@blakemansfield2356 she's learning. Got her an Ibanez with coil tapping too. She won't get on my channel yet but I'm hoping once she gets more practice in, I can convince her to riff while I adjust tones.
i noticed you have your two test amps sitting on top of the DSL40CR . i was wondering if you were to spend some time changing EQ and gain on your DSL40CR can you get it to sound like the Origin through out all the different sounds you play in this video , or do you think they have a different thing going on . the reason i ask is because im getting that same DSL40CR amp soon but i was also thinking about buying an Origin amp because i love that classic Marshall sound. nice playing thank you for the Demo.
The Geronimo (along with 99.9% of all other Marshall clones) lacks the famous hyper accentuated crunchy pick attack that is signature to all the greatest Marshalls (including the origin). This tone component is key for the amp to have that super quick responsive feel that Marshall is known for, and to really slice through properly in a band. In other words, if you want a Marshall buy a Marshall. And now with the origin series everyone can afford a proper one.
@@ancoraproductions It's logical that they sound different, as the microphone it's being recorded with colorizes the sound. Aside from that, I don't know why but it seems like every Marshall head sounds different, even if they are the same model
I can't wait to get the 50w head version of it! I feel like if you dialed back some of the high end of that origin and maybe some tilt it would've sounded a bit closer to the germino but even at that time what a great sound to my ear! What can were you running it with?
I agree- I could have dialed back the Tilt a touch. Nonetheless, very cool amps. Congrats on the 50! I hope you can get away with some volume when you get yours- these Origins require a lot of volume to open amp and get some gain going!
Hi Blake. You've probably already answered this in another comment, but just wondering what you used for the slap back on these clips? Both amps sounded fantastic! Thanks for the comparison.
Awesome video mate, almost sold me the Origin! (Still deciding between that and the SV20H) - Just curious, if you had the Origin set to a nice ballsy rock rhythm tone, but then put your guitar straight into the FX Return, bypassing the preamp, how clean would it be? In other words - how much of that tone is from the preamp, and how much is the power amp?
Euan Hamilton The Origin needs to be turned up to sound good, a lot like the classic JTM45 and 1987/1959 (Plexi) amps it is based on. For lower volume gain tones, you’d be better off using a pedal.
Matt Borick Hey Matt, no master volume on the Germino- 100% old school spec Plexi with no mods. These are both going through Ownhammer IRs- Marshall 4x12 with Greenbacks!
@@blakemansfield2356Great comparison, thanks. What sort of load box did you use on the amps to go through IRs instead of speakers and mics? Was it something by Two Notes, UA Ox, Suhr, Fryette, or Rivera? What ever it is sounds terrific.
@@blakemansfield2356 Thanks for the quick reply. The Suhr sounds great on both amps in your video. Have you compared these two amps played through a speaker cabinet? Are the results the same as through the IRs? I was pleasantly surprised at how similar you got them to sound. In other head-to-head UA-cam comparisons between the Origin and vintage Plexi-style amps (like your wonderful Germino), the Plexi wins. In your video, I liked both amps, but dimed I strongly prefer the Germino. Still, the Origin sounds terrific, at a much lower price point. Thank you for taking the time to put together the videos.
Slide Guitarist They both require a lot of volume to get any gain. The Origin is not very home friendly unless you’re using pedals for your gain. Yes, the results are more or less the same through my cabs (Bogner and StoneAge). I use a Greer Lightspeed with both to get gain at reasonable volumes. The Germino has been getting all of my attention lately but the Origin is surprisingly good (and similar)! Can’t think of a better way to spend $500-700 if you’re into old school Marshall tones.
A lot of trash talk about the origin series comes from the speaker used in the 20c combo which makes the sound too thin and sometimes annoying on certain riffs. Of course the sound is thin compared to the amps double the price
@@blakemansfield2356 Ahh k. I just got my 20h this morning and ran it in to a creamback 65 in an old vox open back cabinet. Blown away! Have used AC30's for years so was not expecting it to make those sound 'dark' and 'muffled'. lol Also really pleasantly surprised to discover that contary to what almost everyone seems to have said online about these amps: 1. They are not 'too loud'. 2. There is loads of clean to be had and what there is is actually fantastic. 3. There's plenty of freakin gain with the master above 7 and the gain dimed. 4. The build quality is solid. 5. They absolutely do sound like a mini plexi through the right speaker at the right volumes. 6. The power scaling works fine. It doesn't 'kill the tone' it works exactly as it says: it lowers the output volume to the speaker for 'acceptable' home practice volume. Any lost highs or extra mids can be dialed out .. using the freaking EQ they built in! The internet really is bad for slating products or not even understanding what the intended application is and slating them anyway .. Sheesh. $259 on sale with 3 years warranty btw. What more do people want!? Your vids are probably the only ones on youtube that really show the true Origin tone ..
Ultimately the entire Origin Series are decent amps for their price bracket. Comparing a £350 Origin with a £2000 Plexi is totally ridiculous and is like comparing a Fiat with a Ferrari. Most of us can't justify spending mega £$€ on expensive amps and Marshall know this and that is why the Origin series exists. I am pleased Marshall recognise that mere mortals cannot afford boutique style amps and therefore try to accommodate regular guitarists with sensibly priced amplifiers. We will leave the expensive amps to those who don't have wives.
Germino in a landslide. I've yet to hear a demo of the Origin that really sounds great. Then again it's not a handwired $2500 amp either so you get what you pay for.
Guitar Ocd it’s the bright cap the Germino doesn’t have on most likely. I have a Germino and imho plexis need to have some sort of bright cap. I put a 500pf on mine and it’s a good value so it’s not too bright and not too “ dull”.
great comparison and wonderful playing!
Leon Todd Thanks, Leon!

Alan St. Exactly
That Germino sounds fantastic

You should have put the Origin volume on 10, and brought the gain up slowly. That most similiarly simulates a NMV amp.

Germino in a landslide. I've yet to hear a demo of the Origin that really sounds great. Then again it's not a handwired $2500 amp either so you get what you pay for.
2 guys 1 amp do a good demo
Could you modify the origin with better components to get closer or is the circuit board a mess like the bassbreaker series?
I have a the Origin 20, and used to own Superleads. The Origin is a really solid amp, loving it, especially dimed.
I prefer the origin 100%! It has a really cool, Led Zeppelin type honk that I adore.
The Origin sounds more spanky. Both sound great.
T FP Agreed
Germino
Just like all cheap amps the single notes sound thin.
Guitar ocd Hard to disagree there
Guitar Ocd it’s the bright cap the Germino doesn’t have on most likely. I have a Germino and imho plexis need to have some sort of bright cap. I put a 500pf on mine and it’s a good value so it’s not too bright and not too “ dull”.
TOP VIDEO !!!!
Treble is Trouble
Rare Form that’s an easy fix roll off the treble and dime the presence control 😎
The Origin is a toy compared to the Germino
The Origin sounds like an inexpensive imitation. Sounds fake.
