Picked up an Origin 50 head for a good price to use for smaller shows with a 1x12 cab.
Damn, didn't expect it to sound as good and complex as it does. Some reviews have this amp as the biggest turd Marshall ever created. It's not the case for what I need from this amp, it's absolutely killer.
Will it replace my JMP 2204 or JCM 2000 DSL 50?, not a chance. With an SD-1 or TS9 in front of it, it becomes a great live set up for any size room. Full power setting most of the time. The 1/2 power setting is pretty damn loud and still has great tone.
The term pedal platform is weird, but this amp inhales drive pedals as well as any amp.
It has the Marshall grind with the EL34's but leans JTM 45 to me.
And it does sound like a Marshall, which makes it fun to play thru..
