As requested, I have made some Kemper profiles of this amp. Check it out - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/equVmaVeyK-2iYE.html

So basically they gave people what they wanted, an old school Marshall, and people realized they didn’t really want it lol

That's the old Marshall sound we all love. In another video I heard a clean sound with a Strat. That was equally impressive.

Hands down the best demo I've heard of this amp. Cheers !!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the detailed review. I have watched A LOT of videos on this amp with very little take away, until I watched yours. Please continue with real world, detailed reviews.

Absolutely THE best demo of the Origin done to date. Marshall should have used this three years ago when the Origin series was launched. I love my OR20H and it punches way above its weight class. Thanks for putting this together.

Hands down the best demo out there! You actually show all of the amps knobs and what they do! Great Demo! Hoping to pair one of these with my 2020 les paul tribute that just arrived! Cheers Owen

Just got this amp and I'm really impressed with the tones for the money. A great addition to my amp collection which I know I'm going to use a lot as I love that old school crunch.

Thank you for doing this amplifier the true justice it deserves!!!!

My lovely wife bought me one of these for Christmas. It rocks..the power scaling can't really be demonstrated well on YT. Full power has that room shaking growl...where scaling back is still loud but loses the growl. I love it.

Great, to the point, demo. You nailed it’s features and what it is vs what it’s not. Just got my combo yesterday and I’m absolutely smitten with it!

I have the Origin 20 combo. Absolutely love it. It has the Marshall tone I've always wanted, the tone I've always heard in my head.

ive had mine about a year now. Got the recommended 2x12 with it. Love it! Great vid too!

Stumbled on this review and really enjoyed it. You basically answered every question I had about the Origin and showed off some great playing and some tasty tones to boot 🎸

Thank you Dan for a great, detailed review! Just what I was looking for!

This was a really great demo of this amp! Great tones and awesome explanation of how the Amp operates!

Agree . This is a SUPERB and thorough demo done with class ! Great player , great sounds , excellent explanations . Made me LOVE the amp ! Can hear it properly here with some really good playing and proper use . Seriously looking for an Origin 50 head . None in stock at the moment . No used ones either . Thanks for the great video , bro ... very well done .

Great video, playing, tips, and demo, Dan. You made the amp sound awesome. Thanks!

Excellent demo of tones, supported by great playing. Just bought the Combo, used, and can't wait til it arrives

Tried my Gretsch through this and got that classic Marshall grit and dirt that I fell in love with from AC/DC. What really got me was how well it cleaned up for a more spanky, Fender-esque jangly clean tone for when I wanted to do some jazz or rockabilly. This was through the MX112R cab, which I believe has the same speaker as the Origin cabs. I loved the sound for sure. I think I found the amp for me.

First time watcher and man you are killing it. You bring every ounce out of that amp and guitar. Awesome.

Great Review of this amp! Your playing really complimented the amp and vice versa. You answered the questions that bedroom guitarists want to know. Best review of the this amp hands down. Thanks!

This was a great demo! I've been looking for an inexpensive backup for my Suhr Badger. You make great points about how Marshalls work in general that I think a lot of people doing demos skip over or just don't know.

I have watched this review many times and getting something out of it each time that I missed before. An excellent review with fantastic sound. I'm pretty much set on this head and it's matching cabinet. Thank again.

Dan: amazing playing, amazing style, amazing sounds, thanks for the video, it's definitely certain I will buy this amp... I was looking for info and I've really got it!

Hey Dan that was a really great demo. There was a lot of useful information in there especially as I’m about to buy one of these today. Cheers man looking forward to the next video!

Some of the best plexi tone I've heard. I've owned a 74 Superlead and currently a 73 Superlead. This thing nails it, based on this demo.

I recently purchased the Or20/Cab combo because the price was unbeatable, it's a Marshall, and the reviews were very favorable!. I'm far from being an expert but I really love this amp! The tilt is a nice along with the presence and gives me a bit wider yet basic sound for my blues and country style. My playing doesn't require more master volume to get where I want so I'm good there. I imagine that this amp with it's matched cab would do great in a live show in a medium to large venue and I guess might sound even better in a stereo set-up. Another plus was that the 4-button foot pedal came with the combo set. I know many of you are more knowledgeable and experienced than I am so it's your comments, reply's, and reviews that assist my decisions so keep sharing knowing that you're comments are being read and thank you! Peace out...

So far, this is the BEST VIDEO i 've seen, at last someone that know how to use it and at the same time plays at good level... !!!

Nice one, Dan! Great to hear you're enjoying the amp. It's a really good one for sure!

Best review for the origin 20 on KZfaq. Well done 👍

Recently I’ve thought about heading down that Marshall highway as well. This model popped up on my radar and I definitely am interested in grabbing one. I feel like a lot of the other demos of this amp seemed a bit stale and like they were trying really hard to get a good sound. You’re nailing tone easily. I’m definitely going to grab one of these and probably just ad a pedal in front to kick it a bit more and get a little modified modern tone mixed into it. Then again when you hit that 9:17 mark, it’s pretty damn close to what I’m wanting! Awesome video!

Now that's an accurate clear review and amazing playing

Clear. Concise. Well spoken & explained. Great video editing... damn dude, nice work!

Great review Dan, thanks for that ! And great playing as usual.

You do a great demo and explanation of what this amp is and what it is not. I have a Jubilee 20w and I’ve spent plenty of time in front of “plexi” Marshalls and this is a great amp for the money. And since there are a lot of these available used based on many people misunderstanding how to use them, you can score one for a great price. However, it does divide folks but you’d be hard pressed to find that “Marshall” plexi tone for this money in any amp out there right now. 👍🏻

I think that sounds awesome!! I been wanting one of these 20 heads for a while now

Great review!! Especially the Hans Moleman clip. Classic!

Best demo of this amp ever 👍🏻 great playing man thanks

great review.....first time ive seen an accurate volume comparison....excellent !

Still the best demo I've heard of this amp

Wow, I just re-listened to this using headphones rather than computer speakers. Sounds completely different is a good way. Great playing and demo.

Always good info. I'm thinking on getting this amp. Your great playing goes great with this amp. Keep em coming. Great job on a great little amp. Thanks brother!!!

Best demo i've seen of an origin! Congrats!

Great playing, thoughtful insight and some incredible tones you pulled out of that thing. Would be interested to see what you could get with EQ in the effects loop.

Thanks for the excellent demo. Just beginning Origin 20 research. Love it’s tones and now understand I’ll probably need a Two Notes (+$500 ish) to get what I want out of it at home. Have another couple tube amps that are also tending to justify a Two Notes.

hands down the best sounds I've heard from an Origin head on youtube... you just made me reconsider my 20 head with your tips ;-)

Excellent review and playing !! Just got one ! The guy didn’t know it had been modded ! I plugged in and was like why is there so much gain it’s not supposed to have that much ! And the effects loop has been disable so I think it’s the Headfirst mod and the push pull is now set to when you pull it out it’s like stock left in it kicks in the gain !! A lot of gain !

This demo convinced me to purchase this amp! Solid demo brotha, Aloha!!

Very nice review. Excellent point about the need for volume cranked.

Your playing and ear for tone are both top notch! Excellent review; I just picked up an Origin 50h and loving it, myself!!!

I bought this amp off the back of this interview and I really like it. Putting a greenback in my cab was borderline essential for this amp though. Took it from searingly bright to classic marshall grind.

I have the 20C (combo). This amp was a surprise. I cant stop playing it! Perfect Plexi tones. Great review !

Great demo!!! I recently bought this head, this video helps huge!!

Wow! This demo sold me on this thing! Excellent job, sir. I can totally hear the power amp breakup, not just preamp fizz.

Thanks, good demo. Bought it and am very gratefull. Basically the sound through youtube is impossible so I checked the DSL comparisment and went for the origin although I liked the DSL more. But this is just great for anything. Tubes work with this mans setting instructions.

Very good demo and comments…. and playing. I bought one partly based on this.

Came for the tones, stayed for the football to the groin

Thanks, that was an interesting review. Nice playing too btw.

Loving this. Bought a 50w recently, and I can attest to the fact that all the nice tones @Dan Leggatt is getting from his 20, I can get from the 50 - albeit insanely loud!

Love the tones you getting from this head, excellent

9:16 Exactly what I thought. Maybe with a little boost in front of the amp, we got that "brown" that all we love. We really got it... Your review helped me, a lot, to my decision. TKS

The very first Marshall since the JCM's, which I really love! (Opposite to my Silver Jubilee from 1987).

Great Demo buddy,been looking at getting another marshall head,I did own a dsl but then got a Orangecrush120pro and micro terror,which I love..So seen one-off these cheap,so may get it,thanks to your great review, cheers buddy 👍 ❤🎸🤟

I have the Origin 20 combo and I love it. I'm running it in tandem with a JC40, both clean, driven by my pedalboard. The 20C alone is nice, but the two together blend perfectly for me!

Great demo. Just bought one!

Fantastic demo, Dan! 🤘🤘🤘

Perfect explanation of how to run these amps. 👍🏻

Great demo! I've got the Origin 50h running through a Marshall 2x12 cab. It's true what you say, it's all about the volume- but this thing is DEFINITELY not safe for bedroom use!. Also I play a wine red Studio Les Paul like yours... I guess I should really get to practicing, eh??

This is without question the best sounding demo of this great amp on YT! I traded my Origin 50 (way too much power, I don't Gig) for the 20 and you're to blame for that! Thank You Dan! Rock-On Bro!

After watching this and the tone i bought one. Very very underated. Running through a two notes capacitor. Dound unbelievable. But Dan i get you on the low level. You have to have this amp cranked WOW. great review

I'v had a bunch of marshall amps & bought this to do something different. I have a 4-12 marshall cab with 100 hundred watt 16 ohm 1970 eminance spk wired to the 16 ohm output. This makes the amp all most imposable to distort making it perfect for pedals in the studio (which is were it lives). I have tried it with a 4-12 20 watt green backs & it does the live marshall thing perfect. just my 2 cents.

Fantastic! Could you do a bit with an eq with it? Your style of doing these videos is unlike any other youtube demo

Great demo Dan . . . I run TSL-100's which can still be quite loud at the reduced "25 watt" setting & this newer Marshall would bring the volume down to acceptable levels for most normal gigs . . . You & I both like the same tones although many gigs I play are "pop music" that use clean tones. I always preferred the tones created by Marriott & Frampton in the original Humble Pie where 50 watt plexi's were used . . . Now the issue is 20 watts or the 50 watt Origin . . . Again appreciate the demo Dan . . . all the best & stay well !!!

Man this has to be the best most real to life demo I have heard of the origin 20 head! Thank you! I use one as my main amp and have it running through a two notes captor x with an oversized mesa rectifier cab running to front of house, and it runs through a cheap marshall 4x12 for my stage volume. I do however disagree with the comment on the effects loop. Yes you are driving the power tubes a bit but thay doesn't seem to muddy the time based effects as much as going straight into the front end. Either way enjoy man! Great choice for an affordable marahall amp

Excellent review

This is my first and only Marshall I've ever owned, and just scored mine tonight for super cheap (300 USD/246Quid), and Origins seem to be anything BUT harsh. People don't like them because they're not very gainy amps which is what Marshalls are known for. We pedal guys love amps like this and it's the very reason I wanted one. Still dialing it in, but I already like it a lot

Great demo! I own the Origin 20C. Absolutely nails that AC/DC If You Want Blood rhythm tone--which is what I was looking for. Even though you were preaching to the choir, you still managed to show me a few new tricks. Thanks! But yeah... That boost is absolute woofy crap. My Catalinbread Naga Viper is insane as a boost! Takes it from Malcolm to Hetfield.

Really great demo and I couldn't agree more about the volume being the most important dial in terms of tone. I've had one for 18 months and got it in a more soundproofed room since December, with an attenuator. Up til then I was annoyed about how little it broke up. Lol. Now my main gripe would be the reverse! Find it hard to get a decent quiet/loud transition cos the cleans break up pretty easy. But the tone is magic. Now if I could just play like you too, that would be great. Ha!

Love my two Origen 50's in stereo with two 4x12's . They love pedals in front and back loop !

Effing top demo, brother. Dangit might buy this one.

I'm with you Dan, never liked tube screamers...great in depth review!

Great demo - thanks!!

Good job, you actually dialed in a solid plexi tone. When it comes to vintage, single channel amps the "more good" knob is the Volume knob. A lot of classic crunch tones are just clean channels played bone crushingly loud. I've seen a lot of Marshall amp demo's that sound terrible simply because they've got the master volume knob at 3. Oy... It's settled then, I'm gonna need to find a practice space outside of the apartment...

Mate this is a great review. I'm looking for something to go alongside my Countess that has a bit more grit - but my playing does not compliment Marshall amps at all and have always struggled dialling them in but I am determined to find the right one...

Hey Dan, I have a origin 20 and love it. I also have a SV20 and I run them wet dry. When you start looking for a "proper" Marshall, check out the SV20, I wouldn't call it budget but much more usable than the big brothers. Got mine for $1000 and it has all the sound and feel of an SLP, doesn't push air like a big ine, but I'm not Bonamassa or Ritchie Faulkner so I can't use amps like that anymore. I'm an old plexi player from the 80's and they feel and sound incredible. Maybe you can get Marshall to send you one. I also just traded for the 2525h Jubilee. The whole studio series is great. Wish the had them 25 years ago, my tinnitus wouldn't be so bad. 🤘👹🤘

You really made that amp sound great. Best I've heard. Real good player too!

Great video review, thank you so much. I have the 50 watt version and it has been fantastic for jamming and keeping up with my brother who uses a Fender 80 watt Super Chorus. My 50 watt 5150III just gets lost in the room when he opens up his Fender so I picked up the 50 watt Marshall because I knew it would rise to the top of the mix in the room. My only issue is that the FX loop doesn't act very well with my Carbon Copy Delay and also no real volume boost for soloing. I tried an eq as well as my Friedman BE OD, but it just doesn't boost volume very loud for soloing.

Great review ! Really into my Origin 50 head, use it clean with a Friedman Dirty Shirley in front .... amazing !

Nice vids Dan, I’ve found a decibel meter to be REALLY effective when discussing volume, much better than relative terms like ‘bedroom’ or “paint stripping”. I mean they’re nice enough terms but mean different things to everyone :) the amp sounds tempting, but I know exactly what you mean about the masters and not sure I want another loud amp.

You're making change my mind about these because I had the same issue. Plugged into the combo version and thought that it was a pretty pointless amp. I have a Vox ac 15 now but man maybe one of these would pair nicely for a stereo set up. great review!

Great demo! I just put a Marshall Origin 50 combo on lay a way. The easiest way to make this amp an absolute Plexi is get a MXR 10 BAND EQ PEDAL boost the highs and mids, then boost the gain on the pedal a tad bit, that way your amp is still stock, and just use a greenback.

Best review on youtube about this amp. You play that guitar like a GOD.... well done, i admire you!! \m/.

I stuck an MXR classic overdrive with some EMG’s and this thing really rips. Very underrated. Also, this is my first Marshall and my first non metal amplifying my collection. This amp also pairs well will green backs and v30s for a thrash tone.

I got the combo, sounds way better plugged into a 4x12 cab . I love it, cheers

Awesome review!!!!!

Hi Dan, some very nice Marshall sounds and great guitar work as always. It matters not, that you've "never been a Tube Screamer sort of person" you sound great without. I've never been a Spitty Fuzz sort of person and never lost any sleep over it. Stay safe and keep producing your great content, I always look forward to your Vids.

Great demo Dan! Had my 20C for a couple of weeks. Haven't had an opportunity to turn up the master volume yet. I'll check it out. Stay safe - take care.

You just made me buy a new amp. Should be here in 2 days. Thanks, I think.

Great review! I own one in the combo format. Indeed, it isn't suitable for bedroom settings. I owned decades ago a 50W head (1973) with the 8X10. This amp gives you a very good impersonation of the real thing. I do not play publicly any more (yep, I'm that old, lol). It can be used at bedroom level on the lowest wattage however, it needs a boost pedal (the EHX LPB1 would do; I use a Danelectro Texas Trouble between the guitar and the amp). But! It won't truly sound like wide open. It'll come close enough if you don't want to acquire a practice amp. After decades of trying practically everything, my at home setup is the Blackstar Debut 10 (must be heard to believe) or through a cab, (a good one makes a big difference), a EHX 5MM pedal amp with your fav pedal. In my case, the very affordable Boss DS-1 works great.
