I just recently purchased the Origin 20w combo and I'm absolutely blown away by the tone of this little thing with just a 10x speaker ! I think the 20w head with 2x12 is the way to go for me.
I love Marshalls (spent the past 50+ years listening to bands use them ) and this sounds awesome - but you make virtually everything sound awesome Elmo ! Great bit of Hendrix - now that really hit the spot for me as I always like to see how others paly his stuff so I can learn even more variations. Rock on :-) .
Love the Origin. I have always wanted a Marshall, now I can afford one. Always enjoy watching and listening to you play. You are an incredible talent. Looking forward to your new album.
Elmo. the Tilt Control according to Marshall is like jumpering the old Marshalls NORMAL and BRIGHT channels like we use to do years ago (i'm 65). It does do about the same thing tone wise.
Rick Hill Thanks. Yeah, someone else pointed that out earlier. Maybe I should learn to read a manual 😂 I never jump the two channels in my Marshalls. I like the bright channel more.
Got mine as an early Christmas present. Had some things go sideways and had to sell off my boutique stuff. I'm rebuilding now, and the Origin 20 head is part of that. Thanks for the review. It really helped my decision to purchase
wow, that marshall amp is unreal, it boosts how good you are and gives it more oomph. I love your guitar playing as it is one of the kinds of music I love listening to. I listen to guitar music as much as different bands cause I find it soothing. keep up the awesome guitar playing and stay with the marshall cause it rocks
I have seen tech reviews on this line of amp from what I have heard there are reliability issues with them due to materials and construction. With that said you can't expect the highest quality at a low cost. They do sound good for what you are paying. So if you're like myself you do the best you can with what you have to work with. Keep rocking mates!
You're correct there. The sv20 and sc20 are twice the price, but if you're not gigging (or not regularly) the origin series are a great option, for affordability. Loud too.
The only thing I wish this amp had and they did different is a Standby Switch and move the power setting switch to the other side by the input jack or to the backside of the amp other than that this is the perfect amp for 90% of R&R from 1965 to 1980 when Marshall came out with the JCM 800.
Dig your playing, and sense of humor, and straight forward honest reviews. I love my Origin 50h ....perfect amp for me...I play everything from blues to metal to punk to jazzy and classic rock, just put an fx board in front or in the loop, it can do anything. It's not a plexi, but it's close enough.
Hey Elmo, you said you have no idea how amps work, you are just a guitarist. So am I, but recently on TH-cam, I hooked into a legendary, highly respected and internationally known, American vintage valve amp restorer called Uncle Doug from Texas. This guy really knows what makes the shit tick and he is multi-skilled in so many ways, I wish I could jack-plug straight into his brain and steal what he knows because it is simply amaaaziing!!!. I have to confess that generally, I haven't a fucking clue what it is he is talking about, but the more I watch his excellent amp breakdown and repair schedules, the more things start to make sense and take on a form of meaning that subliminally gives me a kind of base level understanding of how a valve amp operates and the real talent that goes into designing and building them - It's genius really. I am hooked on a more or less voyeuristic level on his vids - they are very relaxed and soothing to watch and rather reassuring in that somebody has dedicated his whole life to amps and how to save them from oblivion or the dumpster. It may bore you but I hope it doesn't - Check him out and let me know what you think. He, at the very least, deserves our high respect for his crusadorial efforts to to preserve musical electronic design history and he is not too bad a Texas lick player either - God Bless Him he is a real Treasure. Cheers Alex the K.
Hi Elmo, Free time, or lack of it, for ones interests, passions and hobbies is always a problem and believe me it get's worse as you get older. Or is it that | am just getting lazier! Keep doing what you do so well man and I'll be watching until such a time as I either go blind and deaf or peg out. Rock on and cheers and happy yuletide season's greetings to you when it arrives - Alex the K.
Got a 50 watt version head and it sounds great with any pedal you go with. We will see how long it lasts. 1 Watt is pretty damn loud and maxxed out gives you that AC/DC tone with no effects. It really reminds me of an unmodded JCM 800 from the 80s...love mine so far
Yeah, really nice, man! Great playing! Marshalls show their tone when players like you wring em out like a dishrag! Perfect! The Origin 20 sounds great under your control!
@@MrPolevaulter its just a peice of wood with some wires on it i didnt discover a cure for cancer too busy selling garbage111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
I just got the amp. It sounds great. I was surprised how much I loved the clean channel. The thing that wasn't apparent from your review was how much the overdrive/distortion sound in your demo was a pedal and not specifically the amp. That said, I put a turbo rat in front of it and it sounds great. Surprising because I don't really like the rat. I've had it for 20 years and never use it and maybe now there's a reason to have it. The other thing is I chose the Origin 20 over the 50 because the low power switch was supposed to be a fraction of a watt. It's still very loud and I'll have to be careful at night. No possibility of natural overdrive, it will have to come from pedals.
@@joshbarron1380 There is a boost foot switch, but its not really an overdrive or channel swich. More like if you are about to play a solo and your guitar volume is already at 10, hit the boost, and you'll be a bit louder. I also use it when I switch to a guitar (like my Gretsch) that has lower output pickups. I've gotten to know the amp better since I commented, and you can play with the volume and gain to get a good overdrive, but it's still pretty loud for home use, even on the low power setting. For a while I used an attenuator, but recently, I dialed it back to a nice clean and use pedals for my distortion sounds. It's just more flexible for playing a variety of music.
I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A MARSHALL ALL TUBE HEAD FOR UNDER A THOUSAND!!! I always wanted the digitech Johnson millienium Amp because of its great before its time effects chip that changed the game...this amp was first introduced in 1989....They are solid state power section with 2 preamp tube for the gain channels...it really does a good Hot rod Plexi ...so I can add a o.d pedal..it's a combo 150 watts with 2 Celestine vintage 30's (just those two speakers made over 30years ago are worth 300usd) but seeing this Marshall Origin I may sell this combo and get the 50watt...it sounds sweet....
Great review and demonstration. An all tube budget Marshall will make many people very happy. Just add a Malmsteen inspired overdrive and the the tone is right there. Thanks.
I've owned 2 Marshall amps over the years. I managed to blow both of them and they weren't dimed either. I won't ever touch them again as a result. I now use Rivera and a Fender as well as a custom amp from a guy in America. All bulletproof and reliable.
Finally got my origin 20h. Sounds amazing with a 212 2061 cab. I dont use any pedals, all knobs cranked exept tilt (zero) and bass about 3 to zero. The rest is done with the guitarknobs. Very plexi😎
I bought this amp thinking i would sound like you. I did not. Just kidding. You helped sell me on this amp and it is awesome! Whenever i am in the market for gear, my research begins with "what does Elmo think". Thank you for your gear reviews
Got to try out the 5W combo version of this amp yesterday. Absolutely loved it, definitely gonna buy one soon. Originally I was planning to get new pickups (DiMarzio HS pickguard) for my Strat, but I've now decided that I'll go for the Marshall instead. It's only 20€ more than the pickups, and it sounded amazing. By the way, the Tilt knob is based on the idea of blending the channels on a Plexi.
Elmo i have got a dsl from Vietnam and i got a tripple from england.... the dsl sounds (in mine opinion ) much better , i am not a guitar guru ore what but,i love the DSL100 made in Vietnam
Love my two 1959 SLP's reissue's and they suck peddles up ! Loud as hell ... Oh if you take a Rockman Head Phone amp into both heads stereo .. it's a game changer !
I believe the " tilt" control acts as a balance between the two input channels (in the plexi's) Obviously the original two channels were " high treble " and " normal ". This meant that one channel was brighter, and one was darker, and on the old plexi's you had two separate volumes; one for each channel. Instead of adjusting two pots to get your desired tone, you just blend the degrees of each channel that you want with one knob.
Well done my son!, Excellent!, I was wondering what this amp sounds like playing some Malmsteen through it. It sounds perfect for Yngwie's tone . Fantastic playing skills by the way. I know how hard a work it is to achieve that level of playing. Greetings from the UK.
Another Great Review Elmo! Very informative! The Marshall Origin sounds FANTASTIC! I like the tone much better with the Tilt all the way up! Tones are much brighter & cleaner sounding! Of course you know what im going to say next! MORE REVERB! 👍😉😂😂😂 Thanks for another great video! Keep on Shreddin! Cheers!
The Tilt control is like jumping the channels on an old Plexi and instead of adjusting the two volumes for the Normal and Bright channels you have a mix control between the two. It seems it sounds different than a plexi, though. More bright and cleaner.
Thanks for the reply! An A/B test with the 1987x would be revealing!!! By the way, 1987x is still in production, it is listed in the Marshall site under the Vintage Reissues section and the SLP100 Plexi under the Handwired section. The prices are far away than the Origin's, though!
Sounds great in the studio environment , would like to hear it in a live gig situation to see whether it’s up to the job or if the 50 watt would be more suitable, would also like to here how it sounds as a Blues amp, all in all though a Marshall for that money, it’s got to be good. Love what you’re doing with it mate.
I do hope you review the 20 watt combo of Origin,, cuz i want to buy it. I seek yjm tone for my whole life, but on tight budget. Origin gives me the way. You're the only youtuber i know who plays yjm licks on all product reviews.
Elmo Karjalainen This is probably the only time anyone will ever think of me and IA at the same time while writing a complete sentence 😂. But yeah, actually the same as The Man. Even used his settings for a while but that didn't fly with the strats.
Hey Elmo, I really love your channel. You serve up a lot of really good info about amps. I also love your playing. When you do a demo it's in the context of what someone would actually set up for actually playing a song. I have run across so many effects pedals demos that are totally worthless. The reviewers usually set things up in an extreme condition. Their sound is so far away from anything that a guitarist would ever use in a live setting. I just can't tell if a chorus pedal might be something I want to buy when the only thing I hear is the thing turned all the way up for each parameter. ugh... Yes, most demos sound like really bad sci fi movie soundtracks from the 60's. As for the Marshall Origin 50, I tried one out at Guitar Center. It was cool. But at the same time I can see the corners that Marshall cut on the build quality of the box. But, it's certainly not a disappointment or anything. It's what you get for that price. I ended up going with a Mesa Boogie Fillmore 50. I do love it. But....it cost 3THREE TIMES AS MUCH and isn't really a fair comparison. Over the years I have tried to get into Marshall but it just hasn't clicked yet. I do like their sound. Those Plexi's are something special. The JCM 800's are also fabulous. I also think that their new 20 watt versions that are made in England are very cool too. Thank you again for the great reviews. Do you ever review Mesa stuff? Well, keep up the great work. peace!
Prefect brother I have two yngwie stratocaster the maple neck and rosewood version been looking for Marshall I can shred with I seriously thinking about buying one for home use cause I use headrush with hx effect in its loop for gigs
You should try the 20, it doesn't sound like the old ones, but of course there are plenty of better amps. It IS a cheap tube amp but very good for what it is :)

As always a great review. Although I've always been a Laney-man, this actually made me curious.
Keep up the good work mr. Ejk.
Laney man? Like IA Eklundh :)
Elmo Karjalainen This is probably the only time anyone will ever think of me and IA at the same time while writing a complete sentence 😂. But yeah, actually the same as The Man. Even used his settings for a while but that didn't fly with the strats.
From now on I promise to write every second sentence and think of the two of you :D
Elmo Karjalainen 😱. Wow. I'll hold you to that 👉😂.
Tuomo Tikkanen 👍🤘😂
Sounds great Elmo
Cool little amp! I want one now... Looking forward to your A/B comparison. Take care of yourself with that flu.
Yeah, that flu is a bit stubborn :(
Might just have to get one.
Kevin Sweeney Did the A/B video today. The Plexi is much better. It does cost 4 times as much though 😂
Sounds great, looks good.
Hey Elmo, I really love your channel. You serve up a lot of really good info about amps. I also love your playing. When you do a demo it's in the context of what someone would actually set up for actually playing a song. I have run across so many effects pedals demos that are totally worthless. The reviewers usually set things up in an extreme condition. Their sound is so far away from anything that a guitarist would ever use in a live setting. I just can't tell if a chorus pedal might be something I want to buy when the only thing I hear is the thing turned all the way up for each parameter. ugh... Yes, most demos sound like really bad sci fi movie soundtracks from the 60's.
As for the Marshall Origin 50, I tried one out at Guitar Center. It was cool. But at the same time I can see the corners that Marshall cut on the build quality of the box. But, it's certainly not a disappointment or anything. It's what you get for that price. I ended up going with a Mesa Boogie Fillmore 50. I do love it. But....it cost 3THREE TIMES AS MUCH and isn't really a fair comparison. Over the years I have tried to get into Marshall but it just hasn't clicked yet. I do like their sound. Those Plexi's are something special. The JCM 800's are also fabulous. I also think that their new 20 watt versions that are made in England are very cool too. Thank you again for the great reviews. Do you ever review Mesa stuff? Well, keep up the great work. peace!
Cheers Jake!
I haven't reviewed anything by Mesa so far, but you never know :)
Great review Elmo
Thanks Paul :)
Prefect brother I have two yngwie stratocaster the maple neck and rosewood version been looking for Marshall I can shred with I seriously thinking about buying one for home use cause I use headrush with hx effect in its loop for gigs
Cool stuff :)
I love your T-Shirt Elmo where to get me one? Good video man.
Thanks :)
I bought the shirt on eBay. I also bought one that says "Education is important, but playing guitar is importanter" :D
Nice review, personally I went for the DSL20HR instead, which has everything I ever asked for including sound :)
Thanks! I used to have a TSL. Didn't like it much. The JVM was great though.
You should try the 20, it doesn't sound like the old ones, but of course there are plenty of better amps. It IS a cheap tube amp but very good for what it is :)
Maybe I will :)
Love the intro!!!
Kevin Sweeney 😊
Great sounding compact and affordable head.
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🤗
Keeping in mind that you can get one of these 20w heads for 250 euros used, it's basically a steal.
Yep.
amazon has marshall origin 20w head @ $549
and origin 20w combo w/10" speaker @$649
Isn't that what I said (about the head)? And the 50 watt head is $650. I didn't check the combo.
Great review, that is what I wanted to see, when you applied the effects.
Glad to hear!
This was a great review.
Fantastic Elmo....!
Thanks Janice :)
Wow if i buy this amp i will be able to play like him.... sold!!!
