Why I Bought A Marshall Origin 50 For Metal..

Not traditionally considered a metal amplifier by any means, the Marshall origin 50 is more in line with very clean to light break up tones and classic rock. Not your typical metal chug monster. So, why would I buy one as a metalhead?

The Origin is a total pedal platform amp.These amps run great with Friedman pedals too.I have the Origin 50C and I can say that I'm blown away with the way this amp performs with my overdrive/gain pedals.The FX loop is the way to go for delay and revebs.

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah that’s been my experience as well

[@Blaze-ing]

Yeah i have this amp and I run a Friedman BE OD in front of it and its sounds incredible

[@LS67NOVA]

[@mathias6423]

I have a DSL20HR that almost makes my bed lift when cranked in my bedroom with in the big rehearsal room with my loud drummer and the second guitarist bass player running 100W heads and with the same setup at smaller gigs but with this loud band the 20W Marshall head is just not loud enough. Now the only DSL Marshall seems to build between my DSL20W and DSL100W seems to be a combo at 40W and I do not want a combo and I think the DSL100WHR might be overkill for me. So, I am looking at this Marshall Origin 50W and I am thinking it should suit me perfectly. It only having one channel should not be a problem since I am running a Line6 Pod GO Wireless into it anyways so that will essentially be like adding a lot of channels to the amp right ? I really think this 50W head will be perfect for smaller gigs in a loud band setting and it should be more than enough to hang with other band members 100W heads in the rehearsal room

[@Glensully]

thats what i am thinking @@mathias6423

[@johnwardle9667]

I think this is a great idea, because it's not necessarily the obvious, tedious, same-same choice for a metal tone. But if you get the chugs dialled in, then it's bringing something pretty distinctive. It's pretty growly and fiery sounding. I like it..

[@thomasjohnson7712]

I never play the same ol same ol everyone does for music styles...like right now, I play a Friedman Wildwood PT20 for Doom and Sludge lol, and it doesn't disappoint at all.

[@rodreyes8436]

Yes! I recently added a Marshall to my stable, it seems like it’s one of those things that I’ve been missing all along! This Origin seems like a really interesting amp to me. Particularly before you added boost… can’t wait to hear it after the mods!

[@uriahroseii1026]

I had a DSL20 I sold, got the Origin 20 I liked but sold to get the Origin 50 which I'm digging. I use it with a A/B box to use my Princeston Reverb clean/Origin 50 dirty. I use a treble booster and parametric EQ to get those old 70s hard rock/metal tones. So far, so good. I'm using it with the MX212 cab loaded with a pair of old Fanes.

Marshall’s are great just as a tube power amp for your multi effects pedals (pods, helix, pedal board ect…) I used an old 70’s Marshall super lead 100 with my pedal board with 2 4x12 cabs. Couldn’t get the volume past 2!!! Sounded killer!!🤟🎸

[@TaylorDanley]

They are damn loud!

[@73prd]

It doesn't need greenbacks , v30s are fine

[@needsLITHIUM]

I would totally use one of these boosted by a TS808 or TS9, and then layer it with a metal zone or HM-2 for quad-track. Also, you could always run two different amps, like use the Dual Rec or 5150 into your Mesa cab, and then using an A/B/Y pedal, use the Origin as either a layer as is, boosted, or maybe one of those HM-2, Grindstein or whatever kind of boutique reiteration of the HM-2 you like. You could also run a dry/wet rig.

[@riffsnoleads]

It's definitely an amp that shines best with dynamic playing and guitar volume/tone control adjustment. I use it stock for HM2 dbeat with no problems.

[@TaylorDanley]

I plugged the Swedish steel into it the other day and was pretty surprised at how awesome it sounded!

[@elihue_redneckreview]

Awesome presentation! I have the Origin 50 and absolutely love the versatility of this amp! It's a fantastic pedal platform and great for the studio. Here's an interesting way that I have been using it when I want a citrus flavored high gain - I run the effects send from my Orange Terror Stamp to the return on the Origin to bypass the Marshall preamp and capture the Dark Terror voicing! Or if I want the hotrodded Marshall tones, I just use the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe for a full 3 channels of increasing gain. IMO, Marshall really knocked it out of the park with the Origin, and the stem power scaling is such a wonderful feature! Cheers!

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah I haven’t even messed with the fx loop yet!

[@Mudhoney1991]

Hi I'm using a marshall origin too for a clean pedal platform but I'm struggling to dial it in. Any tips? I use EHX EHX Sovtek bigmuff deluxe. EHX OpAmp. Wren and Cuff Garbage face. Looking for a nice Grungy vibe.

[@adamwatson6916]

The origin 50 also sounds great with the celestion Ceamback M65 which is basically a 65 watt greenback but a bit darker and smoother and has a bigger and tighter low end with a woody lower midrange. Sweetwater does an exclusive version with the Creamback M65 as the stock speaker and they posted a comparison video between the stock origin 50 and the creamback loaded version and it sounds so much better with the Cremback . More clarity tighter low end and more vintage sounding .

[@azzazelo]

It can't be beat for the price. I got one in a trade a little while back was a couple of months old and dude had receipt and box and everything. Basically $250 lol dude told me it was flat and lifeless. Got home and cracked it with a load box and voila. It's not an amp for low volume settings as you said but pass the middle on the master and it's very very good

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, I agree. I actually like playing through it a lot! Which is surprising with all the other gear I have to play with, lol.

[@azzazelo]

@@TaylorDanley I like that it brutally unforgiving. Makes you play cleaner than the high compression counterparts. I enjoy that a lot

[@nicwilson89]

These are pretty fun for modding into fire breathing monsters all on their own even before you add pedals :D Plenty of room on the faceplate for adding switches and knobs, too, which is always nice

[@whatrhimeswithorange]

I work at a music store with pretty much the whole range of the origin stuff, before i started working there all my fellow employees (of which all have a taste for the high gain) panned and hated these amps and ididn’t understand why. I just listened to their two cents and went “i kinda dig em” paired with a modest shrug. On my lunch break after that conversation, i grabbed a boss os-2 from the pedal case, plugged into an origin combo and within seconds I had em running asking “goddamn whats that nasty?!” Boy were they surprised. These things love boosts, op amp distortion, and definitely break up nice with your fav flavor of dirt’s level SLAMMING into the front.

[@eds4754]

would definitely recommend cranking the MV on these, so much of the plexi tone comes from the power amp and these sound a bit limp when they’re run at lower settings. when it’s modded it’ll be more like a jcm 800 where the sweet spot is quieter. Are you doing Jason Tong’s Headfirst mod? Cool tones with the Mesa cab regardless, although those Greenback IR’s sounded off to me

[@riffsnoleads]

def gotta push that master volume.

[@Panic42000]

This amp is nothing like a real plexi. I also love when people say plexi tones. Which plexi tones? There are about 10 different types of plexi amps.

[@eds4754]

@@Panic42000 origin is sort of a reference to the older Marshalls with no MV. cranking the MV on the origin is what makes the tone more like those older models. there are lots of models and variation between marshalls but anything pre 1976 has a very similar pre amp section amp to amp. Main differences are whether they are split or shared cathode, one coupling cap value and the tone stack (of which there are 2). Not saying there aren’t other differences, but there are more similarities than differences in their design. Of course there are different power sections, transformers, valves, tube rectifiers etc but there are clear similarities between them which the Origin is evocative of. The fact you can so easily mod an Origin into a plexi style amp is a clue as to what the basis of the preamp is from

[@ThatMFShawnzy]

Boosted…sounds just like I would expect a marshall to sound with a badass boost 🤘🏼

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Get an attenuator!!! Marshall use a 1 microfarad on the first cathode, get your tech to swap it out for a 10 or higher . I got the mod from Dave Barber of Barber pedals. It will fix the lows. Then do a blindfold test with a Marshall 1987x and try and guess which one is which, lol. I am 75 and got my first Plexi to play in the Brit Prog Rock band Tallis. in '71. Trust me ...the Origin 50 is indeed a Plexi.

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks for the tip! 🙌🙌

[@riffsnoleads]

I felt like it was a little more JTM45 than Plexi but really, most Marshalls sound pretty similar with enough knob twisting.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

@@riffsnoleads It is closest to a JCM 50 model 1987

[@FastRedPonyCar]

This one has been on my radar to try. I never considered modding but the headfirst amplification guy's vid sounds great. Makes me wonder how different something like the Mr Scary module would work instead. Also, have you seriously been waiting nearly 2 years for the mod work to get done? I didn't see a follow up video and thought maybe you had it done and it didn't really do it for you and you quietly let it slide or you decided against getting it modded and sold the amp.

[@jacobdemaranville4240]

I normally put the MV on max and use the gain knob for volume. I then use pedals for my gain tone

[@LeviJules]

This amp from the few times I've been able to play with it is an *amazing* pedal platform. Seriously. I want to get one for just a nice pedalboard rig for home recordings!

[@TaylorDanley]

Can confirm, great for that

[@profile_01]

Had this amp for 1.5 yrs never really loved it until I started cutting the treble back and cranking the presence , cut most of the bass too , mids to taste. And also sweet spot on master volume is around 5 (low power mode)

[@rebeccabailey527]

Mids and presence is where marshalls live. You can run it with the tilt on half, bass on 2, mids all the way up, no treble at all, full presence, and you get the classic marshall tone, of course after you turn up the gain and volume.

[@bobbypay7911]

Imo, the mic'd cabinet sounded better than the IR. The IR sounded overly scooped

[@JohnSmith-ef2sx]

Modding that is a great idea. Can't wait to hear it after.

Sounds pretty badass like that. Shea will get that sucker tweaked right out, just add an EQ pedal to the loop and it will do exactly what you want once you've got your gain boost circuit added in there

[@louaguado995]

If you wanted a Marshall you should have gone with a DSL, much better gain tones without needing a pedal to help it. I owned that Origin amp, returned it after 1 week. I prefer to get my gain from my preamp tubes instead of pedals. The clean channel was okay but the gain channel was just too bright and harsh, sounded more like a fuzz pedal. If you like Hendrix tones it may work for you, I prefer a Wylde or Hetfield tone, and I get those tones plugged straight into my cheap Blackstar ht 50 or even cheaper Bugera!

[@huskybrutor9287]

The JHS black box didn’t work. Got a real one from Carls Guitar Work. I run a Rat into and it gets pretty nasty. People always hate on it but we’re usually hitting most amps with a tube screamer any way. I just have a tube screamer and a Rat now

I kinda wish I still had the footswitchable loop though, so I'm gonna pick up a 50w and leave it stock. I boost with an MXR CMBAO and it rips, attenuated with a Fryette Power Station. I think the 20 or 50 stock can get into metal territory fine with the power section pushed and the right boost. I live on 5w mode.

Now I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me 'it sounds like a 'Plexi' -After 40 years in the music business and owning a couple of plexi's the answer to that statement is 'No it doesn't'. The ONLY thing that sounds like a plexi - IS A PLEXI. but here's the thing - plexi's IMO aren't the Marshalls to get. They're too old to keep working, and they never distorted enough. Beautiful clean amps though. The JMP's from @ '70 - '71' - (to maybe 74) ARE. I'm interested in this (no doubt Chinese made) Marshall 'Origin' ORI50H. Fuck channel switching, fuck effects loops, give me plenty of pre amp, plenty of ass, screaming top end and my fingers will do the rest. RIP Lemmy. Jaysus, we miss you.

[@themusketeer9458]

i am using this as an amp to my kemper stage. I plug the kemper to the return channel to remove the amp eq. However. The presence dial still works so it can affect my kemper tones significantly. Do you know what the presence should be set at to give zero changes to my tone? is it 12, is it 0 or is it full up?

[@taylolz]

Presence is usually broader than treble. So if you like an extended high end then turn it up and adjust your presets to it. There is no real neutral position.

[@MK-oz2lf]

Interesting. For the same price just about you could have gotten the Marshall DSL 20 head or 40 watt head used and modded that. It has higher gain then the Origin which to makes any guitar sound like you are playing with single coils with that quacking high end.

[@lukeguppy1030]

What brand of guitar are you using ?

[@vincentrandles8105]

Can't wait too hear the "Moded" version! At least you're not one of the girly men too afraid to turn the volume up, around all their vintage guitars!! What total knobs!!

[@joseaprincipe6024]

Do it have a clean sound and distortion with foot pedal that comes with it

[@paulkielt9301]

When boosted it sounds way much better.

[@ellescer]

What loadbox would you recommend

[@JMK-kb1yq]

What is the name of that pedal again? Thanks

[@TaylorDanley]

Grim from this heavy earth effects

[@JMK-kb1yq]

@@TaylorDanley thank you Sir!

I have a Joyo zombie, it doesn't do bright tones well at all. So I am looking for something Marshally. Why? Double tracking. Should be able to reamp without much in the way of time slides given that the amps have such different characteristics.

[@Nothingineternity]

I run the Zombie with the tone dimed and a Caline 10 band EQ in the loop and it does a great job with crisp bright tones. I think the EQ in the loop is the most important thing with the Joyo bantamps

[@tobins6800]

@@Nothingineternity I just ordered one last night, and a behringer 808 clone. In my mind there will still characteristic similarities with the one amp. Was considering the Jackman or a mini BE. All the way up to the Peavey invective.

[@TaylorDanley]

I have a joyo jackman that I bought to blend with my other joy zombie. Very cool little amp, especially for the price and size, but this thing is just a different beast all together. I mean it’s obnoxiously loud.

[@mfkrwill]

I see you in the background Spider V head, eventually you'll get your time in the Sun-nO))) But I tried the origin at sweetwater with one of the diezel preamp pedals in front and it works pretty well. I'd say it's a pedal platform type head.

[@TaylorDanley]

It does work pretty well with pedals... unless you want a Plexi type tone, then it's perfect for that.
