I tried this amp and it sounds good, but not only that, it also feels very good. When you try it, you don't complain about 10" speaker and no reverb. I have Laney LC15 and one day thinking to upgrade to this Marshall.
Did you get one? I found a 20C almost new for 300€ in our local Ebay equivalent and a 10" Greenback for 70€. Both arriving next week, so excited! Always wanted a Plexi but can't afford one. I think this will tickle the itch for some years.
I can think of several overdrive pedals that would make this amp scream & sustain as much as ya want. They accomplished the hard part. Adding an overdrive ONLY when needed is the easy part.
@@howabouthetruth2157 Can you name a few, preferably without breaking the bank? I tried this amp today, the cleans were nice. But I didn't like the overdrive. It's sounded too muddy or something. I only play acoustic, so im not 100% sure on how express myself about the sound, but it wasn't this raw distorted sound we like I guess. I played on it with a Gibson Les Paul Standard btw. Would love to hear some pedal recommendations to make the sound complete.
@@Ervin-1190 For starters, these Origin amps, including the 20C ( combo ) have an old-school type of circuitry ( for lack of a better term, I'm no amp tech ) that absolutely requires these amps to be played VERY loud, in order to back off the gain enough to drive those power tubes for a more transparent overdriven sound, that SWEET spot. Note how the guy in this video states before playing that he has the master volume "pretty much dimed". Most people don't understand just how loud 20 watts rms truly is in a tube amp. For example, a 50w tube amp is easily 75% as loud as a 100w tube amp, seriously. I've owned & gigged with both for years. I don't know why the hell so many youtubers & even sales reps are calling this Origin 20C "a bedroom amp". I've already read from quite a few people who own this exact amp, saying you HAVE TO play this amp incredibly loud in order to bring it to life and "get that sweet tone", EVEN WITH THE LOWER POWER SETTINGS. ( 20w, 5w, 1/2w selector switch ) This is the type of amp that can get you evicted, lol. The only thing "new" about this amp is the tilt switch and that 3/way power selector, both very cool features. But Marshall really did go old-school with the circuitry, so this amp has to be driven, unlike the JCM series & most other tube amps made since the 80's, where you can really back off the master volume ( but they still don't sound as good either, when played at low volume.....NO tube amp sounds good at "low volume" in my opinion, but tube amps are still the best, period ). My #1 choice for an overdrive pedal is the legendary BOSS SD-1 Super Overdrive with 3 knobs ( NOT the regular Boss overdrive with only 2 knobs ). And then I use it rather sparingly, to get that transparent overdriven sustain. The Boss SD-1 is the most copied circuit of ALL overdrive pedals, believe it or not. Many companies charging far more money for their pedals ( that many folks love ) are simply copying the circuitry of the Boss SD-1. This has been well documented by techs who take them apart & know what they see. You sound like the type of guy who would much prefer the single coil pickups of a Strat or Tele. Single coil pickups can clean up easier than a humbucker while still driving the amp. And I can relate with you about acoustic guitar, because I retired from the full-on rock band scene & went acoustic duo & solo act way back in 1992. My partner and I were the best acoustic act in central Florida for a decade. ( He was once touted by the critics as the best un-signed solo guitarist in Florida back when he played in rock bands, no joke. ) And then in 2002, I retired from professionally gigging altogether. I simply got tired of it, but I do miss playing the music itself. With all the above being said, I love this Marshall Origin 20C combo so much, especially for the price, it makes me want to buy one. I sure as hell can't play it in my own home, I would have to rent a damn mini storage or go someplace else to crank the thing, lol. Still seriously considering buying it though. I guess it's the musician in me.
@@Ervin-1190 Hey Ervin, please see my main response to you. I forgot to explain how a tube amp and its distortion sounds much better & cleaner when playing in a full band. The bass and drums really fill in, and suddenly the distortion of that electric guitar/amp sounds much better.
@@howabouthetruth2157 First of all, thank you for taking the time to make this detailed response! About the guitar, I actually very much prefer the Les Paul, because I wanna go for sounds towards ZZ Top, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. A Strat, as beautiful sounding as it is, it's not the sound I want to go for. (Maybe for a second electric guitar down the line ;) I today tried the 50's and 60's Standard and I liked the 50's neck more. So the guitar is pretty much picked. Now the amp.. Speaking of the amp, I actually wanna use it strictly at home and it really cant get too loud because of neighbors... So having to cranking up the volume to get right sound is going to be a problem. In the end, the question is, can a pedal help in this situation? Can I still get a nice dirty sound when the volume isn't too loud by adding the a distortion or overdrive pedal? Or does the amp volume still need to be set on high?
This is a great amp, don’t be put of by the gear/tone snob muppets on here, if you were to do a blindfold test and they thought it was something they liked, they would be singing its praises, remember! Its what YOU like!! If you like it, f+=kin buying it!!
Amazing demo !! I am also a Tele player and just tried this amp the other night at Guitar Center, knew nothing about but was very attracted to vintage look and plugged in my Tele with a Oceans 11 pedal to see how this amp would receive mid level power draw pedal and it was pretty mind blowing. There is something very special about a Fender Guitar into a Marshall amp, it's pure magic. I wished you had covered the Attenuator feature which allows you to go from 20w - 3w - .50w, that was the clencher for me when I tried the amp out. I am on the hunt now for a deal on this amp. Keep up the great work !!
This guy is a really Good player firstly, but Iv seen most of the demo's of this combo and I didn't think this amp sounded Good at all. Sounded Fizzy and nothing like any other demo iv seen, iv now got second thoughts about buying one lol, The demo By Brett kingman sounded amazing And is the best iv heard so far
Thank You. Mine is in the mail, as is a 10 inch Greenback. Might build a Cab for the V-Type though to run both as a 2×10. It sounds nice! Sold md DSL. Too fizzy! Sounded great with a Creamback though. I might go, combo + 10 inch greenback cab + 1x12 Creamback cab haha. My tone will make Joe Bonamassa regret his life choices, especially with a Tonerider equipped Epiphone. Great playing too!
I was getting all excited by the clean tone... but the overdrive is not what I would expect from a Marshall. You're a very good guitar player though and I enjoyed listening to you play. :)
As a big Marshall Fan since decades, I had been waiting for the release of this new Marshalls, and after a short testing in the store I bought the 50 Watt version, because I need a 2nd amp for the rehearsal room. But when I played it for a while, the scratchy distortion bothered me more and more, despite it is not so bad as in the 20 Watt version. It's a pity, because the concept and the retro style of the Origin amps is great! So I changed my purchase into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV and now I am satisfied, and that to me as a long time Marshall player! (my main amp today is a Friedman Small Box combo, but the Fender comes clauser to this than the Origin).
To all watching, get the new Blackstar HT Mark 2. It's the most versatile amp I have ever played. Great cleans, crunch or high gain. Plus power reduction.
The overdrive tone is kinda bad because of the small size speaker, I have the head with a vintage 30 12 inch, and it is completely different, full and fat growl
Friend, I have the origin 50c. I use it more in apartment and small shows. When I play in bigger venues I usually mic. Do you think it's worth changing the 50 for the 20 because of the power switching and the ease of transport? It gives a lot of difference in bass because of the 10 speaker? Thank you in advance.
Hi ! I have bought this amp but even with the gain at the max the sound stays clean. Could you tell me why is it normal and pedals are always needed or ?
the playing on this demo proves why some do not like playing Marshall amps, this is a amp that you can not "hide" behind. If you play well you sound good, if you don't it won't cover your mistakes.
Not mic up ... 🤘. Should be title real tones without mic’n amps ... I’m really digging this amp & just may pull trigger to get 1 . Thanks Cream City!!!
I think the player should be demoing a high gain amp with those chops. This is early Marshall gear more in line with classic rock and tasteful lead lines including bluesy styles.
The DSL series eats this thing, it shouldn't be that way but just the truth...The DSL is the poor mans version of the JVM series, can do crunch, classic and high gain well....I own both.
I know that a lot of Marshall fans out there will react to my post but hey... IMO, If you have a gain control AND a master volume, why the heck would you need an attenuator for? To get the power tubes cookin? I'm sorry but in terms of volume, there is not much of a difference between 5w or 20w. From what I have learned, you need 10 times more wattage to perceive a double in volume of your amp. Do you really think that an attenuator will make your amp sound better at lower volume? Just put your master volume down... Also, the boost seems to be really subtle and this amp sounds bright enough to my ears so why would you need a presence control? A lot of goodies for nothing? Tone wise, I find that the DSL beats this one anytime...It would be nice to get a better version of a Plexi. Maybe next year Marshall?
My advice, Never limit yourself to a 10" speaker! If you buy a combo buy a 12" and nothing smaller. even a single 12" cab is limitted. best to do a mini-stack rig with head and 2ea 12" cabs co you can use both for larger venue gigs and just one cab for smaller gigs! Besides a head and seperate mini cabs are much easier to lug around, and less prone to damage!
This amp sounds terrible in this video. I have the 50 combo and it is much warmer. Also, when plugged into my 4x12 greenback cab....holy hell. Pure heart thumping classic rock.
Like many others have said, the clean is pretty good but when driven it's a massive disappointment. You think you've found your perfect old school plexi-ish combo until the gain is engaged. Big letdown :(
You are incorrect. This is a cathode biased EL34 amp, not EL84. The 50 is fixed bias being cathode biased gives this a bit spongier sound with a bit more sag. Thru a 12" speaker I think an amazing amp.
dezionlion Scholarly and succinct.on the basis of what do you arrive at that damming critique? I in common with several others got a great deal out of this video it demos the amp well, several styles through two well regarded instruments incorporating a variety of settings appropriate to the music presented. Tell me, is ignorance really bliss?
+Ed yeah scholarly and succinct is just a good way of saying your an educated idiot. I'm frustrated after watching several videos on this Amp, and 95% of them suck! maybe you can make a decent one since you're so educated on the subject. and it's probably not this guy's fault either. they just don't make em like they used to, although Brett Kingman made it sound pretty decent. I'll say it again, even with two great guitars, it just sounds dreadful! nothing like a jmp.
![Marshall Origin 20 vs. DSL 20 | Patrice Fillol | TEST#1 [ENGLISH SUBS]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4Jnr5vBJ3Xo/mqdefault.jpg)
Killer guitarist , straight to the point with no talking, tired of hearing the explanation in every youtube video,
Thanks for your feedback, Silver. :)
Agree, putting the captions up and showing the amp settings is a nice change.
I tried this amp and it sounds good, but not only that, it also feels very good. When you try it, you don't complain about 10" speaker and no reverb. I have Laney LC15 and one day thinking to upgrade to this Marshall.
Totally agree with you, Stjepan!
man, satch boogie in low gain with a fender telecaster is something astonishing
For nice crunch I usually set the gain 100% and master around 50%, not the other way around like in this video. The sound is fuller and not so fizzy
Really? That seems to go against common knowledge of pre-amp gain vs driving power tubes.
nah the only way to run a marshall is with the master wide open. treat it like a non master volume amp.
Finally a review where the guitar player has the groovy do play this setup. In almost every review I saw, folks tried to shred nonstop
Thanks for your kind words, Daniel! Please subscribe to our channel for more. :)
This guy has totally sold me on the Origin. Plus, what an amazing guitarist!

I cant believe how cheap this amp is for how good it sounds
I am the only one who is shocked at how clean the clean section is? The distortion is lacking. But those cleans. Wow. Now that is a serious pedal amp.

YOU ROCK!!
...AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS AMP OFF EBAY!!
Right on, Mike! Thanks for watching our channel and if you're ever in Milwaukee, visit our shop!
This is a good amp! I still prefer Telecasters to Les Pauls! I like this guy's reviews!

can't loose on that combo,prob get some good tones ay?
agree

Great amp. Real good demo,
great playing, nice vid, but i think it would grind better with the presence up a bit
Thanks Rob! We've got that noted for a future demo on this. :)

Nice Satch boogie on the tele
You play sooooooo great i really like :) no matter wich amp you use ;)

You're welcome and thanks for watching! :)
Hi I'm sorry, I bought the marshall origin 20 and I have a stratocaster, but I can't get your crunch, do you think the amp is not working?tks
Hi Stefano, that's a good question. We're going direct so we're not sure!
Great video, you playing amazing, I wondering if it's could put a 12 speaker in the Marshall origin 20c, what do you think?
I think it can be modded to do that! Thanks for your kind words! :)
Are 20 watts enough for playing in a band? Or should I buy the 50c origin?
Very nice...👍🏻🎸
Thanks Glenn!
This guys playing took me to cream city
Easy on that bass knob!
I think the player should be demoing a high gain amp with those chops. This is early Marshall gear more in line with classic rock and tasteful lead lines including bluesy styles.
We appreciate your input, Bill! :)
Came here for a tone check, got a masterclass in guitar instead.
The DSL series eats this thing, it shouldn't be that way but just the truth...The DSL is the poor mans version of the JVM series, can do crunch, classic and high gain well....I own both.
When I saw 31 lbs. I thought that Les Paul weighed 31 lbs.
Lol! That is too funny...you just made our day. :)
The distortion is still fizzy, not a vintage growl imo
Master/ Gain and EQs are a bit off here... the sound capture is bad too, this amp sounds much more classic in person.
that telecaster omg
You play great and you have a great sense of tone but lose the baseball cap
Even the code 25 brings a 12 inch speaker
May I suggest a Strandberg and a Revv amp for some sounds for this millenium.
you are clipping the mic pre on the overdrive part of video
Noted!
The playing is great but is that really what it sounds like cranked? That's horrid
I know that a lot of Marshall fans out there will react to my post but hey... IMO, If you have a gain control AND a master volume, why the heck would you need an attenuator for? To get the power tubes cookin? I'm sorry but in terms of volume, there is not much of a difference between 5w or 20w. From what I have learned, you need 10 times more wattage to perceive a double in volume of your amp. Do you really think that an attenuator will make your amp sound better at lower volume?

Tone wise, I find that the DSL beats this one anytime...It would be nice to get a better version of a Plexi. Maybe next year Marshall?
Mood Switch Music the attenuators definitely drop the volume but doesn’t affect the tone it’s really good. The wattage changes are only approximate😉
Best fucking review
But is really used only the amp without any other pedal (fuzz/distortion...)?
Yes, that's what the man said: Both guitars running straight into the amp only.
Yup! Just straight into the amp. :)
Tone is in the fingers
Where is the reverb
03:49 The drive sounds too thin. The mids were kinda pushed too...which is concerning.
the 20 combo no better than a valvestate?
I see "...то илл..." Cyrillic letters on you chest. What you have there? Жизнь это иллюзия?
My advice, Never limit yourself to a 10" speaker! If you buy a combo buy a 12" and nothing smaller. even a single 12" cab is limitted. best to do a mini-stack rig with head and 2ea 12" cabs co you can use both for larger venue gigs and just one cab for smaller gigs! Besides a head and seperate mini cabs are much easier to lug around, and less prone to damage!
Choptastic playing
Metal style chunker on the e string sounded better on the tele......
When the guitars neck pickup sounds like a bridge pickup to me, I think it's a no.
Heard that lol
Should have used a shred guitar for the palm muted high gain stuff. What a fizzy bottom end yikes.
This amp sounds terrible in this video. I have the 50 combo and it is much warmer. Also, when plugged into my 4x12 greenback cab....holy hell. Pure heart thumping classic rock.
Like many others have said, the clean is pretty good but when driven it's a massive disappointment. You think you've found your perfect old school plexi-ish combo until the gain is engaged. Big letdown :(
Andy J M sounds like your not using in right
no reverb - no play
reverb helps clean up your sloppy playing, learn to play with out it
Horrible sound, horrible choices of playing and eq
Hmmmmm 😉
Clean sound is very good, but gain is very bad
Correct your title, the 20C does not have EL34 tubes, it has el84’s which is why it sounds so different than the 50.
Actually, on Marshall's website it states that the Origin 20C has a pair of EL34's. :)
You are incorrect. This is a cathode biased EL34 amp, not EL84. The 50 is fixed bias being cathode biased gives this a bit spongier sound with a bit more sag. Thru a 12" speaker I think an amazing amp.
El 34 dude, correct yourself
So even a great player cant make this amp sound good. Those gain tones are terrible. Maybe someone can mod them to make them sound good.
He sets it up poorly, just watch Brett Kingman's demo. th-cam.com/video/QeeIQDtqGj8/w-d-xo.html
Are you listening to this through a potato? Amp sounds stellar.
if you buy a marshall it is not for jazz demo man
I have the combo and gain sounds NOTHING like this.
guitar obsession does it sound good ? I really am tempted to buy one of these. I want that light crunch sound like jimmy page. How does the gain sound
@@brianmcdermott281 look on my channel I play with Origin 50c. I think its pretty decent for the price.
I didn't expect to be so disappointed when hearing the shitty sounds from this amp series. Overpriced junk.
yayayaokoksure so what do you recommend?
Not demo ampli, demo player. What the fuck
No reverb on this amp for $700?? Are you kidding me?
Bad Luck it a vintage style Marshall also Jimi Hendrix didn’t moan about not having reverb and it didn’t hold him back 😎
terrible sounding amp.
dreadful video!
