Marshall Origin 20H Head

I bought an amplifier on September 16. The first thing I saw when I opened the box was the quality of the product, it's really cool. Plus, the amplifier itself is very beautiful, no one said this in the reviews, but I will say it. I like origin a lot more than dsl. All the handles of the potentiometers look laconic, they spin perfectly. I was pleased with the presence of an attenuator, for playing at home, this is the very thing. The only thing that upset me was the presence of only 1 channel, although this is not always a minus, for someone it is a tribute to the old fashion.
As for the sound, he is always on top, Marshall knows how to make a quality product. It sounds rocknroll, everything is in the spirit of the 70s. The amplifier is an excellent base for effects pedals and will suit any guitarist, even the sophisticated one. The amplifier mixes perfectly with the band, it's fun to play in the garage.
In general, it's amazing that Marshall released such a great playing amplifier for such little money. For a student, this is really good thing

It's a great amp head. A real work horse for rock. Brilliant cleans and break up edge around 6 on gain. It does really shine when you crank it. Presence knob does improve the overall tone.
The only downside to it is the eq. Not much to add and can be a bit trebly. You can counter this by dialing treble to zero and maxing the tilt knob. Takes pedals really well, especially klon and muffs.
What made me pull the trigger was the fact that I really don't care for multi channels since I really get my sounds through pedals.
All in all a great amp for the price and more than enough for rehearsal spaces with my 2x12 and small venues.

Внешне бошка очень красива - даже далекая от этой темы жена отметила, что он здоровски смотрится. Аккуратное исполнение, великолепное качество сборки, ничего лишнего - этакий винтажный красавец. Когда достаешь из коробки, сразу ощущаешь Маршалл. В комплекте футсвитч и кабель на кабинет. Спереди это чисто плекси - глухая панель с налписью маршалл, снизу крутилки, полностью соответствующие плекси (даже темброблок сделан так же "криво" - слева требл, справа бас). Кто играл на плекси знают про ее 4 входа и 2 раздеьных громкости на каждый канал, здесь это было заменено одним входом и регулировкой Tilt - соотношения канала нормал и требл буст, что не требует перемычек между каналами и 4х входов - получить звук от классического глухого до искристого буста можно легко, окрутив ей. Сзади решетка, через которую виден каскад ламп (я бы честно говоря поставил эту решетку спереди, что бы в полумраке "ламповость" была видна, но таков стандарт маршаллов). В общем, поставив такой дома, не скажешь, что эта голова стоит всего 40-45 тысяч, она выглядит как ее более пафосные и мощные

20 watts all tube Marshall, came with speaker cable and solid rugged footswitch. Easily loud enough for small gigs and sounds best in 20 watt mode for clean headroom and cranked in the 3 watt mode you can get a surprising amount of gain and bark out if this amp at full volume and gain. It's simple, one channel with a footswitch for boost and switching fx loop on and off. Nothing unnecessary, that's why I give the features five stars.It feels solid, looks great and sounds great either jamming with friends through a 4x12 or for quieter practice through a single 12”. Switching to lowest power you can get the volume down lower than the volume of your strings so it could work in an apartment/bedroom situation, for practice, but this thing is happier played loud and it thumps like a Marshall should and it does loud very well for 20 watts! I live in the countryside where I can turn it up but 20 is enough, the 50 watter would be overkill for me without an attenuator. Reverb, phase, tremolo and delay in the loop sounds great and it works brilliantly with every overdrive,fuzz or distortion pedal I've put in front of it. Sounds very close to Hendrix tones and Yellow Ledbetter never sounded so good! Whatever sound I'm after I can find it easily and what's strange for me is that being a pedal builder/fanatic I've been playing through just the amp alone for most of this week, it really sounds great either with a Strat or Les Paul and I'm very impressed. Buy it. You know you want to. It is awesome and you won't regret it. I love it and at €345 it really is a great value deal.

Great head with a classic Marshall "plexi" sound. Not a high gain amp, but if you are looking for classic marshall crunch, it sound amazing!
The only downside I found is that the amplifier can be slightly loud even on 0,5W if you want get power amp section overdrive without a pedals at low bedroom volume levels (I run it through 1x12 V30 speaker). But attenuator can fix that.
But otherwise, this is exactly what I was looking for; GREAT amp for AMAZING price.
No need to lose words, Thomann's service was as amazing as always, fast delivery and very well packed.

I play usualy at home or just jam with my brother on drums. 20W is really enough and at home I barely switch from Low to Mid Output value.
This amp is one channel, so ideal for pedal rig, as I use it. It is also very versatile. I can turn very nice and plesent sound like Jimi Hnedrix style, but when I want to play Metallica or any other heavier styles, I just engage my MXR Fullbore Metal pedal, and amp is going to beast mode. Great sound overal.
Previously I owened Orange Dark Terror amp, but it was not capable of nice mellow and bluesy style. There was very thin line between clean and distortion.
For this price, Origin head is one great universal amp.

So after using a whole array of solid state amps, hybrid amps, amp sims, and whatnot, I decided it was time to get into the tube amp world. I always wanted one but never got around to getting one. And what a perfect way to enter that world.

Before I decided to pull the trigger on on the amp, I was reading quite extensively on the subject of tube amps. I was going to get the 50 W version but realised that it would be an overkill for me, so I went with this one. I'm running it through my 1x12 Harley Benton cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. It sounds amazing. For the ones just entering the tube amp world- don't let the wattage fool you. It is PLENTY LOUD! I rehearse with a hard-hitting drummer, and it has no problem carrying its own volume wise. You will be able to play small gigs with this amp, no problem.
It is a great pedal platform. It takes all of my pedals without a hitch and delivers what I need. I live in an apartment, and most tube amps are not suited for that. This one has a built-in power attenuator, which allows you to control the power output in three stages so you can play it at home without peeling the paint off of the walls and having the neighbours call the police on you.

In conclusion:
If you are a hobby player who lives in an apartment, has an occasional small bar gig for friends and family and is just entering the world of tube amps- this is the amp for you. Trust me, you don't need one of their 100w heads if you won't be playing big shows.
It sounds great, doesn't cost an arm and a kidney, does what it says on the box, is very aesthetically pleasing and is plenty loud to rattle the neighbours' windows if you really want to do that (not that I encourage such behaviour).

Definitely recommended!
