Marshall Origin 50 - Does it do Metal??

[@jessetate9701]

He came from the hair scene lol

[@misterroberts344]

It does metal very well especially when pedals are added. It is a "flat" amp, pre amp pedals and overdrives can take it very far. This amp is easily one of my favorites. The only downside to it, the gain has to be completely cranked with the volume to get the amp to distort without a pedal. I've noticed keeping my amp gain on 5 and pumping my pedal gain up gives me the best tone.

[@bvanhoosen]

That's definitely my experience as well! I think this amp would be legendary had it come out in the 70s or 80s.

[@Smartskaft2]

"Clean tones" 😅 Cool video, I wanted to see someone play some of this style of music on it before buying it. Thank you!

[@Smartskaft2]

I bought it. And love it. Soooo much more headroom than my old trusty Tiny Terror. I guess it will satisfy my needs for a few years more. Until I realise I need even more headroom... "More is more!" - A "random" Swede

[@adamwatson6916]

Some of that might be coming from the early breakup of the greenback speaker . That is one of the reasons why it was so popular in the early days . The breakup of greenbacks can be quite gritty . I have always preferred heavy magnet spelera . For vintage I prefer g12h30 and for modern a higher wattage H speaker like a vintage 30 or g12h cralback . I have never thought much of the g12m25 greenback vintage 30 pairing. The v30 and g12h pairings always sound more tight and defined to my ears. V30 paited with a greenback has too much grit for mu taste.

I use the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe for high gain bliss. I have also found that by using the Orange Terror Stamp into the return on the Origin it's essentially a 50 watt Dark Terror voicing. The Origin is definitely a versatile workhorse and VERY pleasing!

[@bvanhoosen]

Thank you so much! The Origin is an awesome amp - add pedals and you can really do a lot with it.

[@TuckOfIron]

I really dig the old school breakup character of this, honestly.

[@bvanhoosen]

Dude I do too! Definitely lives up to the “poor man’s Plexi” nickname. I think folks that don’t like it are looking to hear something much more modern and compressed.

[@wootks]

You should try a Metal Zone as a boost. Volume at 100%, Distortion at 0% and start with all the other knobs at noon. The MZ as a boost is fantastic for amps that almost have enough gain for metal on their own but are lacking. You can even stack a TS as well if you need to boost mids and cut out the low end. An EQ pedal before the MZ could be used as well.

[@bvanhoosen]

That’s a cool idea! I’ll try that in the future

[@estebanpalacios2621]

You’re a rad dude, like a kindred spirit of mine in a strange way lol. Thanks for making this video. Heavily considering trading in my 6505+ for something like this (or a laney gh series) looking for something versatile and old school.

[@edgarfenderusa6629]

Yes bro. Keep your 6505, that amp kicks ass ,straight up

[@angusorvid8840]

There is just this special feel you get with tube amps, like a good Marshall or Fender, that's simply unbeatable. The reason I don't like most Boogies, like the Mark III, IV and V and Rectos is how stiff and compressed they sound. They seem to counteract the very thing that makes them tick in the first place. They don't have that great chewiness you get with a good British amp. I tried a Dumble Overdrive Special back in '87. These amps are legendy for several reasons. They're very rare, so they cost an absolute fortune. But I plugged into this thing with an LP standard and I could hear pure tube magic all the way. The clarity and feel, even at very high volume, was magnificent. Only the best amps can do this, remain musical and ear bleeding volumes. See, with tubes you've got to work them to get the magic. Get the power tubes cooking, then hit them with a good fuzz pedal, and it's magic, especially if you have good pickups like EMGs. But you don't need to spend a million bucks to do it. It's never been easier to get a great rig at such a bargain.

[@bvanhoosen]

Definitely a big fan of Marshalls and 5150s. Can't say I've ever used a Dumble! Sounds like a great amp.

[@angusorvid8840]

@@bvanhoosen They are great amps. Not exactly metal, although companies like Amplifonix are designing amps that run the gamut from Dumble to ultra high gain Dumble. The 5150 borrowed a lot from the Soldano SLO 100, which is what Eddie used to record For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. The thing is, companies like Soldano are not known for paying endorsers. It's just not in their business model or budget. And I don't know what's going on with Peavey. They don't make anything in America anymore and it doesn't seem like they're really in the game these days. At least we still have Marshalls. Yeah, made in England. But still great.

[@EM-km8em]

[@FulcrumsEdge]

your comments on what the the tilt knob and gain boost function as, is flipflopped. the gain boost is just a simple db- gain boost for leads or to saturate the preamp a bit more, and the tilt, is a blend knob between the normal and high treble modes, an "internally wired" patch cable between the signature plexi input channels so to speak. all the way left is purely normal mode, and cranked right is 100 percent. "high treble". regardless, great video, and i bought my origin 50 for the same exact reasons and it only made my Marshall itch even worse...

[@bvanhoosen]

Ah ok! Thanks for clarifying. I gathered that a few months after I made this video haha. Honestly had no idea what I was doing with this amp or how to use Marshalls in general when I made this. Should probably do an updated one!

[@FulcrumsEdge]

@@bvanhoosen no worries, haha I only know myself after thoroughly reading up on the Origin after a buddy of mine bought one a couple years ago. When I found out that it wasn't just some new age Marshall take on a competitors circuit and that it was a modernized and a budget take on the multitudes of Plexi circuits that really only sound their best when cranked. I love power tube distortion and the origin has it in spades. I'm glad to see others are grasping the possibilities in what this amp is able to do. I love it's Kill 'em All vibe, heavy metal & thrash metal before the concept of preamp tube overdrive became the basis of most metal tones. Amps so loud, with harmonics for days, and so much sustain that a Floyd rose might gag on it 😅😂🤣. Keep it up man, I look forward to the possibility of a video revisit.

You’ll have some swelling after getting tattooed, so it makes it a little uncomfortable until that goes down. Nothing permanent though. The rest of the question I’m not sure I understand. It goes down to 4 ohms, so you can do 2 cabs of 8 ohms or 4 cabs of 16 ohms.

A Marshall Origin with a good distortion pedal like a Rat or a JHS AT+ sounds far superior to the onboard gain of a DSL. Most classic Marshall tones are NOT modded but rather a Marshall boosted with a good pedal and mic'd up right. You listen to those classic VH, Dokken and Ratt hair metal tones and that's how they got them.

Nicholas Da Ronch I actually disagree, I think the thing to watch out for with this amp is the super round bass response it has. That high end is important when it comes to staying tight in a mix. Haven’t put together a song with it yet, but that’ll be my next task.

Dude, don't tell me, just play it

Time stamps are literally in the description 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@dryocum]

This guy does not know how to dial in an amp! Floppy bottom end! That would never cut through the mix! I have several amps. I also have this amp. If dialed in right with the right OD pushing the front end of the amp you can easily get a Randy Rhoads tone!

[@bvanhoosen]

7:05 is a much tighter tone.

[@jeramibanks3276]

No metal no.

[@nightoftheshape]

That clean don’t sound clean at all

[@bvanhoosen]

Nah, I should have said “unboosted.” This being my first single channel Marshall, I didn’t get that the master had to be turned down in order to get a decent clean tone. But I would recommend something from the DSL series if you want cleans

[@nightoftheshape]

@@bvanhoosen You need to turn the gain down if you want clean tones. The master controls the overall volume, and only begins to distort when set at maximum

[@bvanhoosen]

@@nightoftheshape mmmm no. Not on this style of amp or any amp that uses a hot power amp section.

[@nightoftheshape]

@@bvanhoosen I mean if you turn the amp up to its absolute maximum it will produce distortion. Of course at that point the speakers will distort as well. I'm surprised that you are getting so much distortion in the video, what are your settings? I've purchased the amp a few days ago and it is super clean-sounding, I'd have to crank it to get any kind of overdrive out of it

[@bvanhoosen]

@@nightoftheshape my master is set to about 7! Should be a photo of my settings in the video as well. So it’s cranked up pretty far and going into a load box. Which is also why my “clean” sound wasn’t very clean haha

[@fullmetalsal]

🤮

[@austinfailz]

"Clean sounds" -- It sounds like it's got something wrong with it.

[@bvanhoosen]

Nah, I just had no idea what I was doing and the master was cranked. Single channel Marshall doesn’t really have sounds.

your guitars out of tune dude

Yeah remember when all those resistors and capacitors weren't made in china

[@Rockerrobin]

Honestly dont like this amp one bit sounds really muddy to me.

[@bvanhoosen]

Think my bass was too high tbh. But yeah, that's my biggest gripe with this amp and not something you hear on a 2203 or 1987 design.
