Marshall Origin 20 - How Much Gain Does This Amp Have - Let's Also Run Some Gain Pedals In Front!

In this video we take a look at the Marshall Origin 20. This amp series is supposed to emulate the old Marshall amps such as the plexi and MKII models. Perhaps a JCM 800? I think it does a great job, and this thing is loud! I also run some gain and distortion pedals in front of it for fun, just to see what kind of tones we could coax out of it. I hope you like the video. Please subscribe!

The tilt is for emulating the tones of combining the two channels of the 4 hole Marshall’s when you jumper the two channels !!

​@@castleanthrax1833 You are correct

[@bradomalley3318]

Everyone says this amp has good tones and is an even better pedal platform but no one did a video like this to back up those claims. I’ve messed with this amp in stores trying to decide on it but the stores wouldn’t let me plug a pedal into it to check it out fully. This is the video I needed to see. I like a bit more gain for most of the music I play than this gives. This is the video I needed to see. Thanks Marty!

[@billknudson7895]

Thanks for taking the time to make this demo, Marty. Putting a variety of pedals in front of the amp was extremely valuable. After seeing this, I ordered the Origin 20 head and the Golden Horse pedal, which was a great find on your part. The head will arrive tomorrow. Your efforts will have saved me a lot of time spent twiddling knobs. Keep up the excellent work, sir! BTW, love those speakers. I have a few of those myself.

[@jeffersononetwo]

Great job Marty! I can always watch your videos to demo stuff with the proper rock & 80s metal like it should be. Some channels are always clean sounding but I wanna hear it right - you deliver bro! And that Origin 20 - man that really sound sweet! I mean, people might think a Marshall Plexi must have tons of gain but not really. Bands back then, before the mid/late 80s, used this amp - like you said, KISS (a Marshall Plexi). I almost got one of these in a combo a couple of years ago, but I got the British made JCM800 instead. Love it too 🤘 the way I see it, the 70s to early 80s was the Plexi, then in 80s to early 90s was the JCM800, then the 90s had the JCM900, and the 2000s came the JCM2000. Those are really too much fizzle for me, so I think the Plexi or the JCM800 are outstanding pedal platforms. Just like this Origin 20, I have my JCM800 gain cranked - I think it fattens it up more than anything - then I can add a Boss Super Distortion. But really, you showcased the sweet sound of the Origin20. I may just have to get one of these!!! (Let me know if you want to sell the PM). 🤘🤘

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks man! I really try to demo the stuff decently. You're very right man. The 80's were all about that plexi sound. Concerts were so loud lol. And you could feel it. As time progressed amps have continually got fatter and more distorted. Not a bad thing. Just changes. But the barking mid range crunch is so trademark Marshall. And it fits right in a mix and band setting so well!

I'd say he looks average size, maybe 6' or so, but not a bad speaking voice for sure, does appear to be a kind gentleman.

[@DR._PAUL]

I'm about to do the Headfirst mod to mine, which turns it into a JCM800 circuit and adds Jose diode clipping. In doing so I will lose the tube buffered effects loop, which is one of the coolest thing about the amp as is. One of the best ways I've found to use this amp has been to use a Multi- effects modeler as my pre amp, and send it into the return on the loop, totally bypassing the preamp. Your master volume on the amp still works doing this. That tube buffer really acts like part of a preamp for a Multi- effects modeler and then the power tubes add their own additional distortion, making a Modeler sound fantastic. With the mod, my effects loop tube will be an additional gain stage for the original preamp and done away with as a buffer for the effects loop. I will probably add a solid state loop back in, but will sure miss the tube loop. None the less, it will essentially turn the amp into a Jake E. Lee firebreather. Cool video, you are getting some great sounds out of it.

[@rorymcclellan3740]

My take on the Origin series: People like to poo poo these amps, but I think they're just hearing with their eyes. I got a 50h not too long ago and have been loving the trip down memory lane. Your very right about the classic sounds in these amps. Given a proper cab, they require zero modification. I also acquired a Greer Lightspeed to really unlock it. A transparent drive is the way to go over modding one of these if its not having issues. Killer used value too even in todays economy.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Glad to have a fellow origin lover on the channel! I cranked mine again yesterday. Had some guitar buddies over and they were like "damn that thing rocks". It's got a lot of beef for a 20 watt amp. And you can do a lot with the eq and tilt knobs. It really comes to life with a little overdrive in front too! 😎🤟🏻

[@merwinjm]

I just got the 20C. The clean sound is very nice. My ... challenge with it is the distortion/ overdrive. With the gain pegged, I don't get that level of drive you seem to get (around 6:15). It's still pretty clean. I guess it's not really a problem as I will likely run pedals in front of it as you do. I can confirm, this thing is loud. Even on the low setting.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Did you try to pull out the push pull knob? Also you gotta crank up the main volume on the left and put the gain on 10 too. 😎🤟🏻

[@merwinjm]

@marty5150. That's it! Crank Master Volume. I got a chance to test it out at higher volume levels today (my post was at night). With the master in the +7 range, I can get the distortion (and it sounds good too), but volume wise, even on "low output", it's no longer bedroom/ apartment/ other people in the house friendly. ;) I have a cable on order to hook up my attenuator. Hopefully that will let this amp breathe and not summon the angry villagers.

[@Baghdadbatterymusic]

Something I recommend in lieu of an attenuator is putting an overdrive pedal in the effects loop and using the volume knob as the master vol for the amp. I try to set my drive to something transparent sounding, give or take however much gain you want. Then you can crank up the controls on the amp. It's not quite the same as an attenuator since the output tubes aren't really being pushed, but it does allow you to break up the preamp tubes at least while playing at any volume.

[@merwinjm]

@@Baghdadbatterymusic I'll give it a try. I think it would do well with my fenders, bu the MV works on them as the distortion comes mostly from the preamp phase. For the Marshall, the classic distortion sound comes from the power amp distortion which is after the effects loop. With my Origin 20C, the gain dimed and the MV on low, there is little to no distortion.

[@Pastor_Grant]

Hello, are you using reverb? The amp has no reverb correct, so is that a reverb pedal I hear around 7:44?

What I luv about the Origin is not only does it sound amazing, but it has the same tube compliment as the 50w Origin but these tubes run lower voltage to bring the wattage down! Meaning the tubes will LAST A VERY LONG TIME! And with the price of good tubes now-a-dayz that is great news!

[@briantost7125]

I wondered how they have the exact same tube compliment on a 20 and a 50 watt version. That’s how they bring the wattage down? By biasing the circuit frigid cold?! 😂 I was already going to buy the 50, but thank you, that was the reason I needed to go for the 50. I want my tubes running at optimal bias.

[@needsLITHIUM]

They do work for metal, but you need a distortion pedal used as a boost. If you dial in the gain a little bit lower than AC/DC, then use a distortion pedal with the gain all the way or almost all the way down and volume dimed, and use the EQ on the amp as your primary tone sculpting tool, you can absolutely get hard rock and metal tones. I've also heard of people diming the gain sans gain boost and then using what's referred to as a "chainsaw" distortion with it to great effect.

Where are you getting the delay/reverb from?

[@nbenning25]

Enjoyed the video! Did you only use the mic on your video camera for this review?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

No I had it mic'd with a budget MXL condenser into a focusrite 2 channel Audi interface and pro tools. 👍

I thought Tilt was supposed to simulate the blend between the high and low input like when you jumper a Plexi.

[@BBQROCKSTAR178]

That is exactly what it is designed to do.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Yeh I guess so! It just reminded me of an angled amp since it made it sound tighter. (To me)

Hi , i would like a new amp head for my guitar (LP goldtop 50 with p90 ) and I dont know if my choice will be for a dsl 20 or origin 20 .. please 🙏 tell me if origin is better ? -> important, I love to play in clean sound or crunch sound , no lead sound . Thanks

[@jasonneckrock8797]

Sounds great! What are you using for reverb/delay for this demo?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks man. I just added a little flavor of reverb and delay in pro tools to soften it up a tad.

[@chloewinkworthlizardqueen]

​@@Ranch5150SkinWalkeryeah the protools thing made it all messy and its already goin thru a phone, so i was listening for the sound to NOTbe like this boss katana i got coz i couldnt lift my sovtek mig 1oo h anymore, now that was loud...but ive ordered n paid for this head and 212 cab already, the katana tries hard and gets a sound, but meh , too late now...

[@XThoelly]

you say at 4:20 without effect, I clearly hear a delay or reverb!? and what do you record the amp with?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

I record and mix everything in pro tool so what your bearing is post production. 🎵🎵👍

That top marshall can looks very familiar. Same damage scuffs I had. 70's 25's green backs. Sold mine in mid to late nineties. If it was you can I buy it back ? Lol!

Mine had no gain total clean when dimed, sterile sounding, maybe it was faulty. Sold it and got the DSL20H .

Man that's a nice amp one question though is it tube run and if it is do you know what tubes are in it by chance

I wonder if this head would sound good going into a captorx?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

I guess it depends on how well you do it??

[@ericwright1985]

Is that a Brendan Smalls Explorer?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Yep 😎

[@doc_matter]

Looks like small checker cabinets, should be late 70s, with either blackbacks or g12 65s The mid late 60s pinstripes, late 60s basketweaves and early 70s large cherckerboard would come with greenbacks, until the pulsonic cone was changed to the rc1 cone in 73ish and the back was switched to creamback around that time, I guess im saying is, those arent cabs that would have come stock with greenbacks, somebody would have had to installed them in there.

[@CelluloidHoax]

Do you know if fuzz pedals work with this amp?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Yeh should work fine !

For some reason I can't get that much drive from mine using it at the same volume. Are your humbuckers hot? Or did you change the tubes?

[@notmars1313]

I was having the same problem but I turned the master to 8-9 and gain all the way up, it sounded good but so damn loud, I’m getting an attenuator to keep the volume low.

[@perro_8688]

@@notmars1313 I am thinking of getting one too. The sound on low volumes seems a bit thin

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

You have to max it out ... it fattens up well. And full 20 watts.
