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.

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..

"Marshall is not known as a metal amplifier."

Oh sweet child...

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.

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!

[GuitarManYT]

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!!🤟🎸

It doesn't need greenbacks, v30s are fine

[chrisday]

Sounds sick man! Good shit! Looking forward to see more of it!

[CajunReaper]

I have that amp and I love the attenuator!

[JohnSmith-efsx]

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

[russbeard]

Cool beans, thanks for the test drive!

[Infernalhermit]

Check out Headfirst Amplification mods for the Origin, the guy has done Jose mods to a 20w and it sounds rad.

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!

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.

[Kris-exyk]

Dude this sounds sikk! You should do another video boosting it with the devil pedal!

[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.

[ozzieverdugo]

That pedal made that amp sound killer!🤘🏿

[BrandonBames]

Bro did you ever get it modded? I just tried searching your channel and didn't see an update vid, I'm about to get one of these in a trade and super interested.

Thanks for all you do!!

[dustyballs]

Ok definitely interested to see what mods you do

[akaboo]

Sounds killer dude. I love the origins almost bought one and was going to boost it but I love my axe fx ii
