Marshall Origin Series Amplifiers

[Micky]

I read somewhere that the Origin were made in Vietnam? Not 100% sure though, but I don't have any problem with that.

Yes, they are made in Vietnam.

Trust me if it actually sounds anything like my Astoria custom for £ 459 it's a winner . ( Friedman runt 20 head £ 1149 ) .

There must be something wrong that we don't know yet about these amps hahaha, power scaling, vintage single channel tone, FX loop and low price is just incredible.

Yes, they are made in Vietnam.

Yep just zoomed in on the back panel photo on Gear for Music's site....Made In Vietnam....like the JMD, DSL 100 & 40c, SL5..... all great amps.

I owned the last DSL100H and hated it. This one sounds a bit better but I like the sound of that 50 watt Origin head way more based off the one demo. Besides, I just bought a JCM 2000 DSL100 last night so I'm good on the DSL line. That 50 watt Origin will be a nice addition and wil fit perfectly between my Orange Rocker 30 and 2000

I have the dsl100h and love it. Sounds amazing with my strats and humbuckers. I hated my original dsl2000, but looking back, it was me, not the amp.

It makes me wonder if they are taking what they learned from Steve D ( the Vintage modern, the astoria, and the class 5) and just repacking it all.

When I first read about the Origin series the thing that popped immediately to mind was the Vintage Modern, but with EL34s.

Yes, they are made in Vietnam.

Nothing is made in America anymore so I could care less where a Marshall is made......Unless Mesa made a donation to Trump and he puts a 7000% tariff on them

For me it is all about quality of construction and quality control.
This is where asian companies are really starting to far outperform anything USA or UK made...

Too bad, because I really prefer to support USA manufacturing. But the writing is on the wall, and I think we all need to take a step back and try to realize we are in a global economy now and the status quo is ever so slowly changing...

Wierd in the video the guys says two el34 power tubes but on the Marshall site under specs it says a single el84

I'm not a fan of el84

The Origins are both EL34.

I am pretty sure they are using EL34's... But I haven't checked the combos yet...

It's the only origin they have on thier site that I could see

That really would be cool, The DSL5c departs from the EL34 design as well...

 

[Dmann]

Oh... lol in the video he's demoing a 50 watt head .... that would explain it

I buy American when I can but Samsung makes a great washer and dryer.

Origin seems to be a modern plexi type. the site says a platform for pedals. with fx loop i guess. i think i may want to try one out and maybe pick one up.

 

[Athor]

I really wanna to try the Origin 50w head. Marshall did actually just release something great. There is hope after all

 

[Ghostman]

I'm still thinking this is the Astoria Classic repackaged with an effects loop, DI, and less expensive manufacturing.
