Marshall Origin 50 - Does it do Metal?? 

He came from the hair scene lol

"Clean tones" 😅 Cool video, I wanted to see someone play some of this style of music on it before buying it. Thank you!

Thank you for posting this. I've been debating on getting this head but didn't know if it could handle hard rock and metal; you answered that question! Sick leads and the Mercyful Fate DBtO shirt also.

You hit the nail in the head with those savatage riffs.. Getting myself one for sure

Thanks for the nod to old school Savatage + Criss Oliva was a great guitarist!

Just goes to show even the cheapest Marshall’s are still beasts

Came for the amp demo (great review, thanks!) Subscribed because of the excellent playing! I picked up an Origin 50 head and vertical 2x12 cab. It's an amazing amp. I use the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe for high gain bliss. I have also found that by using the Orange Terror Stamp into the return on the Origin it's essentially a 50 watt Dark Terror voicing. The Origin is definitely a versatile workhorse and VERY pleasing!

Dude, boosted that amp absolutely kicked ass. These amps are cool! Hidden gems for sure!

Bryce, thank you for taking the time to do this review. I better understand the amps abilities now and enjoyed your playing...excellent player! Thanks again! Jay

It does metal very well especially when pedals are added. It is a "flat" amp, pre amp pedals and overdrives can take it very far. This amp is easily one of my favorites. The only downside to it, the gain has to be completely cranked with the volume to get the amp to distort without a pedal. I've noticed keeping my amp gain on 5 and pumping my pedal gain up gives me the best tone.

Thankyou, I bought the head and 4x12 cab 2 years ago. Love it. Goul screamer is cool. Love Oliva.

The second you started jamming Savatage riffs i knew you were on my page. I will be getting one of these thanks to you, another one you should check out is the peavey windsor even cheaper and it still screams!

This sounds filthy in a good way. I've had my 20 watt head for a couple of weeks now with a g12t-75 212. Yours seems to be gainier than mine, but I'm getting the sound I want with pedals (and real nice cleans).

Man that thing really compliments your lead style 🤙

Just the vid I was lookin for lol

Badass dude!

I have a EVH 5150 overdrive pedal, would it be better to use that with the clean tones on the amp?

I don't know much about Amos but do you think this amp would be good for gun roses tone

Do you think it could do 80s hair metal tone? Like ratt, and dokken?

Sounds killer, you got some cool tones out of It . Your first Marshall? What do you normally play through?

Damn! I'm flashing back. I feel like I'm in my 20's back in the 80's again. DUDE ! Run to the HILLLLS! Mosh, mosh,devil horns. Pass that doob.. Your first sound examples sounds like Tool.😁

Does getting a tattoo really make playing a guitar hard to play because of the pain. I don't mean playing during the tattooing. For me I want to cover up some lines and scar tissue on my forearm. Back to the amp... So would that thing be hooked up to a full stack, 4×12's, 2 up on the arched top and to on the flat bottom?

Kickass!

Nice! Power of the Night

Power of the night 🤘

You’re a rad dude, like a kindred spirit of mine in a strange way lol. Thanks for making this video. Heavily considering trading in my 6505+ for something like this (or a laney gh series) looking for something versatile and old school.

I got mine used for 350 and I throw a boost and a dookie drive in front of it (depending on how much gain I want) and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. So good!

Bryce..I was floored from the 6 minute mark until the end of your video. Bass player with a decent size rehearsal / studio, I am looking for a budget amp that can satisfy the needs of many of my guitar player friends, and I can shred on myself....Can this amp keep up with a power drummer and my Ampeg 8x10?

Good for tool? Like Jambi and forty six and 2?

Got this bad boy in lay away at Sam ash! Now got 2 killer awesome Marshall amps! Studio classic jcm 800 20 watt an a killer Marshall origin 50 watt head

Damn near perfect Kyuss tone out the box.

Idk I thought it was too gainy. Maybe it's the pedal that didn't quite entice me as much.

What's the guitar?......a Jackson Pro with passive pickups?

I really dig the old school breakup character of this, honestly.

Love my Helix but thinking of going back to tunes in conjunction with my Helix for fx overdrive boost etc

Not bad at all considering the price if your looking for some good old raw school rock kinda of styles, over all good review man !

There is just this special feel you get with tube amps, like a good Marshall or Fender, that's simply unbeatable. The reason I don't like most Boogies, like the Mark III, IV and V and Rectos is how stiff and compressed they sound. They seem to counteract the very thing that makes them tick in the first place. They don't have that great chewiness you get with a good British amp. I tried a Dumble Overdrive Special back in '87. These amps are legendy for several reasons. They're very rare, so they cost an absolute fortune. But I plugged into this thing with an LP standard and I could hear pure tube magic all the way. The clarity and feel, even at very high volume, was magnificent. Only the best amps can do this, remain musical and ear bleeding volumes. See, with tubes you've got to work them to get the magic. Get the power tubes cooking, then hit them with a good fuzz pedal, and it's magic, especially if you have good pickups like EMGs. But you don't need to spend a million bucks to do it. It's never been easier to get a great rig at such a bargain.

Power of the night

Could you get Van Halen brown sound? Rip EVH

Was that power of the night?

Will this sound good for pantera?

your inital clean sound, is that straight into the amp from guitar? How are you getting that tone at low volume?

Im a little more fan of the american amps (like Peavey 6505), but i was a little divided between that amp and DSL20. Until a month ago that Origin 50 was a little cheaper than the DSL20 head at Thomann. I really like booth, but i think i probablly go for the DSL20, cause has 2 channels and its more a Thrash amp than Origin, but love booth! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

Not a jcm 800 but overall not that bad. At the current price point I still think it’s a steal, and a versatile tool as well.

i play old classic blues rock, this amp comes alive after 30 minutes or so, but i hate all pedals an wont use anything but guitar an amp,and am a little disappointed cause not quite enough gain,an i have a vs15r on the way,i know valvestate has more distortion, but marshall has great looks an huge warm tone,an really comes on after 30 minutes or so, am thinking about a dsl20, no more big plexis,or fenders,im 65 an still struggling.............

its 50/20/5w options on the settlings

You should try a Metal Zone as a boost. Volume at 100%, Distortion at 0% and start with all the other knobs at noon. The MZ as a boost is fantastic for amps that almost have enough gain for metal on their own but are lacking. You can even stack a TS as well if you need to boost mids and cut out the low end. An EQ pedal before the MZ could be used as well.

You play a V, are a serious player, have great hair and by your shirt are obviously a fan of great music. You're the guitar version of me! Haha. Great video. I'm gonna pick one of thse up. You just sold me on it.

I followed you on instagram and found you randomly here lol

Sounds great with a pg14 and sonic maxie and some reverb

If you're into 80s Metal, why is the guitar super down-tuned? I'd expect more standard or Eb, maybe occasionally D.

I like the test, so thx. I thought the amp sounded quite muddy. Like you said, however, not really a modern sounding amp. Chugging would be hard. Nice test though. Like the shirt too.

I love this amp. I would own this as well while I have a jcm 800 studio classic lol

Marshall's are just the best amps company ever

I owned one for a week before returning it. Too bright and harsh sounding for me. I heard they take pedals well, but if an amp needs a pedal to sound good they I don't want it. I much prefer the dsl version.

3:36 empieza el man

I was like hmmmm wait...I hear Chris! Then I came to comment and noticed it said Savtage in the Description. My flesh has been removed via force from a merciless onslaught of violence via Metal riffs.

Anybody playing Savatage gets a like from me

your comments on what the the tilt knob and gain boost function as, is flipflopped. the gain boost is just a simple db- gain boost for leads or to saturate the preamp a bit more, and the tilt, is a blend knob between the normal and high treble modes, an "internally wired" patch cable between the signature plexi input channels so to speak. all the way left is purely normal mode, and cranked right is 100 percent. "high treble". regardless, great video, and i bought my origin 50 for the same exact reasons and it only made my Marshall itch even worse...

Do you actually play with your bass at 9?

"Power of the night...raise the fist of the metal child...."

A Marshall Origin with a good distortion pedal like a Rat or a JHS AT+ sounds far superior to the onboard gain of a DSL. Most classic Marshall tones are NOT modded but rather a Marshall boosted with a good pedal and mic'd up right. You listen to those classic VH, Dokken and Ratt hair metal tones and that's how they got them. In fact, Warren played an 18 Watt Fender Super Champ (Rivera era) on Ratt's first album, Out of the Cellar. At least for solos.

if u want it tight modern metal - pedal. Even better a pre-amp type pedal and it will sound modern

Power of the night, raise the fist of the metal child

It can do pretty well if you going after Judas Priest tone.

I think 🤔 💭 it’s 5/10/50 watts and yes it cranks!!!

o noise gate está no talo pelo jeito kkkkkkkkkkkkk

crüe vibes without the pedal

Savatage riffs!

he took his hair from the Nelson bros.

Sounds like you're playing from a single coil, but I like it.

The second tone is more suited for modern metal like metal core or djent

Glad you know like 30 seconds of one song. Really showed how dynamic this amp was.

The true test of a marshall is putting everything on 10. This defo sounded incredible.

You look like Ted Poley from Danger Danger

honestly, Almost Any amp will do metal ......with the right pedal . And so I assume it wont do metal without it.

You almost sound like snake from the simpsons 😂

Def not a amp modeler. Good tone

se esse é o clean eu nem quero ver quando por drive nesse trem kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Heheh he's wearing mascara and lipstick

The only reason he got that tone was because of that hair

Damn.....anything else you gunna run it through lol???.... hell u could.plug a TURD up to all of that and make it sound good lol.......anyways 👍🤘🏻

OMG it sounds horrible... No sustain. Is not your playing but I'm not sure what it is.... Thanks for the review

This guy does not know how to dial in an amp! Floppy bottom end! That would never cut through the mix! I have several amps. I also have this amp. If dialed in right with the right OD pushing the front end of the amp you can easily get a Randy Rhoads tone!

No metal no.

Mashall have lost there sounds now. Cos made In china

Dude, don't tell me, just play it

That clean don’t sound clean at all

🤮

your guitars out of tune dude

Honestly dont like this amp one bit sounds really muddy to me.

"Clean sounds" -- It sounds like it's got something wrong with it.

best. play. a. blackstar.
