The BEST Affordable Alt-Rock Tube Amp I’ve EVER Played!
This Is the Marshall Origin 50. I was looking for an affordable tube amp that could pretty much do it all! In my opinion this is it. In this video we’ll dive in to this awesome amp.

I bought one about a year ago because apparently it takes pedals well one week later the band splits and i still haven't even taken it out the box because i just kept using my blues jr for home practice probably because i was pissed off with the band bullshit drama and stupidly read a lot of negative comments on the Marshall really glad i watched this video its finally getting unboxed
Hey Marshall – make a 100 watt Origin
Great video!
Everyone seems to be buying these cause all the websites have them backordered. Can't wait to receive mine!
I have the Origin 20. Great amp. Love it. Can't understand why so many people seem to not like them. Horses for courses I suppose. ????
Been looking at the combo recently and this has really sold me on it. That last tone with the JM into the dimed low setting is literally everything im looking for in a rhythm tone. Keep it up man, incredible work as always
The Origin will have a Ltd lifespan due to the valves and controls being mounted to the PCB board, these amps on electrical engineers benches begin to get expensive to maintain, you are almost as well to use Marshall MG amps, their controls are also simply soldered to the PCB board.
I would love to buy/or lease alt instrumentals from you! Do you offer these services ?
To be honest, I have no idea what a 'plexi' is (and I don't think anybody knows ;))
i have the 50H. no regrets – its versatile! so many idiots saying its crap, they seriously dont know to set and amp and pay a guitar.. its more a balance between JTM45 and a Plexi. paid $745au – 386 Pound Sterling. its a steal
I used the 20 watt version all over my first album with my band the tones on that album are amazing a Origin 20 into a 2×12 cab with v30s with a ds1 pushing it is amazing
Your Jaguar has P90's ????????????????????????
The amp is important, but the speaker is even more important (mics and mic positios are also important). I was looking at the Origin 50 combo, but I settled for the DSL20CR. I later sold the DSL, because it didn't do it for me. My Blackstar Artist 15 has a punch that the Marshall just didn't have. And it's loud AF for a 15 W amp. It doesn't get very distorted, but it doesn't matter to me. I put it at the edge of breakup and use pedals. But I mostly play through my Boss IR-200 (recording, demoing) or the amp in the rehearsal room, a JJ Labs combo modded by Tommy Folkesson. Thanks to Folkesson, it's a Marshall sounding amp.
A Tabasco aficionado I see!

My fender 65 deluxe reverb has been my go to for any genre I play(ranging from Jazz to Shoegaze). Peavey also has the Delta Blues and the Classic series that are pretty cheap, give nice cleans all the way to Bluesy grit. I’m currently have a tweed amp being built for me that has the tweed sound with high headroom for pedals. It really is just about what you can get your hands on
Just found your channel. Really cool. Your right. That amp sounds great….really nice warm full character. I rarely use pedals and have never owned a distortion pedal…for the reasons you said. How many watts? A power brake would really bring that sound out! Subbed
I think the DSL is actually a better amp. Just avoid the lead channel.
My origin 5w is perfect for home play. Lush tubey goodness
Man that's a great tone! What cab is it? Blackstar's definitely been upping their game for quite some time now
I have the Origin 20 and I love it. As you say, GREAT pedal platform. I've not gigged with it, as I have a Victory BD-1 lunchbox head for ease of use and carting around. But might try it out soon
I'm surprised and pleased to hear this! I remember when the Origin series came out, it seemed to me like every one kept talking about how bad they are so I never bothered to check them out. Now I'm interested to try one of them!
The paint brush, paint, and canvas analogy is spot-on. Cheers!
What speakers are in the blackstar Cabinet?
Now look inside. A cheap POS that will become redundant like your mobile phone.
I've used a few different versions of the Origin 50 live and they're great. It takes a Rat so well! I would have got one if I didn't snag a deal on an AC30.
The Speakers have a huge effect on sound.I know fender will have different amps with the same schematic, all they do is use a different speaker.
