Yes; this ^. With the Origin too; put digital modulation, reverb and delay in the fx loop.
Put analog delay in front of the amp.
Also, with Helix, use 4 cable method (4CM). This allows you to make use of the Helix noise gate at the input stage (IE, amp fx loop send to Helix input). And I've...
I let my buddy use my pedalboard and Origin 50 head for his gigs this Friday and Saturday; with my Dirty Shirley 1x12 cab. His band is a 7 piece funk / rock band, they play a mix of covers and originals; and some instrumental tunes. They do stuff like Dance Monkey by Tones and I (they have a...
I use mine (pair of OH50) on either two 16ohm 1x12 Friedman cabs, or with a pair of 16 ohm 4x12 cabs (a stock early 2000's Marshall 1960a and a Bogner 412ST with V30s)
Lately been running the pair with the 1x12 cabs and doing split FX from an HX Stomp XL to pan mono FX to either amp.
IE, reverb...
I had some fun last night running both my OH50 heads with my two Friedman 1x12 cabs (w/ g12m65 creambacks) in a semi wet/dry config. HX Stomp XL in the FX loop of the 'master' amp. FX in mono on the HX; amp fx loop send to HX mono in. Noise gate and limiter/compressor; then splits into path A...
I stopped by my local Gtr ctr on the way home from work last night. They had the Studio classic head in the room you can close the door and play loud; on top of a 1x12 Marshall cab.. Next to a 2x12 Marshall vertical cab. So I had to test it out!
I tried the vertical 2x12 with an HSS strat; not...
Origin 50 head rocks!!
My opinion is slightly skewed; as I bought two! They work very well with pedals; and due to the flexibility of being able to turn on and off the fx loops; makes running stereo, wet dry or most recently parallel, super easy.
I am loving OCD, Dirty Shirley, Timmy, TS9...
The main issue with putting an 8ohm speaker in the combo; and also wanting to use a 16ohm extension cab at same time.
5.3 ohms load un evenly distributes power; much more to the 8ohm; less to the 16ohm.
I realized this recently at our jam spot; with my buddies Boogie combo and attempting to...
Overhauled my dual Origin 50 rig slightly recently; and stumbled into a most excellent way to use the Origin fx loops! Going with wet fx (mod/delay/verb) in the loop; and a volume pedal in the loop before the wet effects.
Since the Origin has a footswitch to turn on/off the fx loop; when...
So far; like mine alot. Bought another one to run 'em in stereo with an HX Stomp.
Pair of 50h on top of a 1960 4x12 toggled to stereo. Direct outs to PA for recording..
The 3 different power soak modes are AWESOME for "room volume". Not gigging; jamming/recording in drummers basement.
Also...
Just got another Origin 50 head! I have them in stereo now; gonna try wet/dry next; using with a 1960a cab.
Also just got my Dirty Shirley pedal back from my buddy!! Super stoked to see how that does with Origin rig..
I love this amp; want to get another one for stereo!!
I recorded my buddies trio last night; and had him run his pedalboard with my Origin and Runt; Origin for the preamp and left fx loop return; the Runt just for the right fx loop return. Since both amps have direct outs I recorded both and...
I have been loving the 50h with my 1960a cab at our jam spot. My only cool "trick" with my board and this rig is running a Keeley gc2 limiter as the first pedal in the fx loop before the delay and reverb. It 'tames' the footswitch gain boost slightly; based on how I set the threshold and...
Love the rig! Got to use my Origin 50 head with 1960a cab this weekend; that's now my set up at our Saturday jam spot now. Quite a sound!
Put my Keeley limiter and Strymon pedals in the fx loop.
Reclaiming my 50h for jam this weekend! my buddy is gonna try my PRS head with his Mesa combo (stereo dual amp rig craziness)
Which works great for me; I was missing playing the Origin! Did a stereo pedalboard build for him, using my Friedman board; and then did a cool two board setup for me...
I got my pre order from Sweetwater and it had the issue. I sent it back and they got a new shipment and it took a few extra days and I got one with the sticker; leading me to think Sweetwater did the repair, added the sticker, and shipped.
Long story short: I am keeping this one; and bought...
Got my replacement 50h from Sweetwater today! Seems all good; has the new sticker over speaker jack area making me think was repaired in house by Sweetwater. All good with me if it works right! And guessing it will..
Here's what that sticker overlay looks like:
