Good amp for the money but i am not satisfied
Bluesmachine 13.10.2021
The power reduction is useless.No sound or volume difference at all.5 watts or 50 sounds exactly the same.I thought it was damaged.I send the amp back to Thomann and they said the amp is ok .Today i took it back.Same thing.Not even a small difference in sound or volume.Also the amp is very trembly like all Marshalls and i found it a little bit harsh sounding.The amp is loud but not so much as they say.i feel like something is missing to be alive.For example my Orange OR15 is more powerfull and alive.If you want to achieve the plexi thing its ok.When i first receive the amp i send to Thomann a video with the attenuator problem and they agreed to send it back.After that they did not accept that there is no power difference even between 5 and 50 watts.They even didnt wanted to listen to my problem.Very rude.They told me take the amp or the money back.Only one woman from the customer service was like that.The others was ok.I see many demo videos of the amp in youtube and the power scalling is working.I dont know what is going on with mine.I tried another origin 50 and the power scaling switch works corectly.I am very disappointed

Classic rock box

The advertisers will try to sell you on things like channel switching, tell you it’s versatile. Really this amp is made for one thing: everything on 10 and ideally a fuzz in front. Want clean? Get a fender. Want metal? Get neuralDSP. This thing only really does the 60s rock sound and it does it so well.

Finally found my amp.
Mellotronic 22.02.2020
Hi there, just a very quick notice on the ORIGIN 50 head that I've recently acquired. First off all, I'd like to mention that I am one of those lads getting older and wealthy enough to buy gear that I like. This means that when it does not suits my needs, either it goes back to Thomann or straight on second hand market. I am basically a studio warrior (whenever my job and familly let me) with I guess an acquired taster for things that sounds neat. This amp is the pinacle of what I was looking for: a mid gain, loud and pedal friendly full tube amp. I actually own Orange, Fender and even Boss gears (dark terror, tweed deluxe and Katana 212), I've played lots of Marshall through the years and I know what to expect from a decent amp: versatility, lots of headroom and balanced with my guitar collection. This one gets everything! regarding the pros, the amp is very loud, simple to tune and gets that sizzling Marshallesque sound from 70's (think of Mick Ronson's 200). it literally loves pedals and Les paul's classic 57's but does also a great job with P90 and Telecaster's PUs. The cons, well, it is very loud even with the 5W attenuator, this beast must be tamed for studio and bedroom usage (the Harley Benton's passive attenuator is the way to go). Some will complain about the lack of a built in reverb, but we all know that built in reverbs are usually lame (either DSP or "faux spring") if you want a spacier sound, just plug your best reverb in the effect loop and there you go... For a bit more of 400euros with a decent power attenuator, you cannot be wrong.

Marshall Quality, Shame About The Sound
Stephen6002 23.05.2020
I bought this in an attempt to split the weight of my guitar rig, currently a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV. Using an A/B switch, it was easy to compare the two. Sadly, the Marshall lacked the lovely full sound of the Fender. I even tried connecting the speaker of the Fender to the Marshall and vice versa. It improved the Marshall marginally, but the Fender still sounded better, even through the separate cabinet that I was using for the Marshall.
With tone settings Bass:10 Middle:10 Treble:0 Presence:0 the Marshall sound still lacked body and depth. Increasing Treble or Presence just made it shrill. Using the Tilt control, the sound just went from woolly to ear-piercingly shrill with nothing in between that I liked. Engaging the gain boost helped a bit if you have it on all the time, you have no extra boost left for soloing.
Disappointed!

Perfect!
Vlkodlak 16.09.2021
I play for more than 20 years. Mostly blues, funk, jazzy, rock. This amp is really great. Easy to find the tone you like. I don't like many buttons, I'm getting lost there. This is such a straight way to get the sound. The amp sounds perfect with my Fender Stratocaster MIM, it also works great with my BOSS ME 80 through the send/return. I've had Fender Blues Deluxe 40w reissue combo, but this head with Harley Benton box sounds grrrrrr. I'm using it for nearly 20 months and you should get one ;)

lo
the sound of rock and roll
levi out 17.08.2019
this amp sounds like a old vintage cranked marshall.
its a really simple amp just prescence, master, gain treble, middle, bass and tilt.
tilt is a knob for the brightness ,a bit like treble.
i play rhythm in a AC/DC cover band and use this amp.
and god am i happy! you can get a good sound for malcolm and for angus too if you want.
if you are searching for a cheap marshall tube amp go for this one!

Good amp for that price
Dizzy99 02.04.2022
Its a plexi sounding cheap amp, don't expect too much but. Send return is not working well on mine, delay signals keep sounding dirty. But all in all it's a nice sounding plexi like amp.

Review after a few months use
John Gilbride 04.04.2020
Having used this head both for jamming with bands and in tracks I have produced, I can honestly say that it is fantastic. I play a wide range of music, from Steely Dan style jazz rock to Meshuggah style low tuned metal.
Its clean to moderate crunching tones are delicious, the way it breaks up is incredibly pleasing, and when you stick a Les Paul in front of it, the magic starts to happen, chuck on that bridge pickup, and you're set.
Its not a high gain modern metal amp, but with determination, a graphic eq pedal and a cheap OD pedal, Ive been able to get to perform pretty much the way I want to, but with it's own unique character going on.
Pros: Its packed full of tone, SUPER LOUD, and has enough little features in it to be quite versatile.

Cons: It does take a lot of experimentation and getting used to the controls to dial in your tones exactly the way you want to, and it is a little heavy.

this was my first tube amp and I was simply blown away! It sounds amazing, and also works perfect as a pedal platform.
