Returned Dsl40cr And Picked Up Origin 20h

[Henry Hughes]

everybody is right...dsl40cr is an awesome amp. Turns out it was just a little too hairy in the drive for me. Loud punchy amp that cuts the band mix like a knife. Loved that part just not too into the gobs of gain available.

Picked up Origin 20 head to use with some of my cabs. Whoa!!! That’s my sound! Pretty clean amp with some great light SMOOTH overdrive. Buttery! Then throw my overdrives in front to push. That’s the stuff. Super vintage, articulate, and punchy! Super stoked. Reverb and delay in the crystal clear loop. Good stuff. It’s working for me right now.

I agree with you 100%

Hnad..
I gotta take one of those for a spin someday soon. Vintage Marshall tone is my favorite flavor.

You really should don’t let the Utube vids be your guide, use your ears, I have the 50h and love it!

I'm very new to the Marshall Club. My 20C is my first.

But these Origins are the Marshall sound I hear din my head (and through speakers and headphones) all those years.

Welcome to the Origin side of things, Henry Hughes!

Yeah the drive channel on the DSLs are pretty aggressive. I replaced the V1 position12AX7 preamp tube with a 5751 to tame the gain on the red channel with no effect on the green channel...exactly what I wanted!

Worked great....30% Les gain!

I’m very happy with the results.

Thanks, have to try it on mine

Yeah- I just returned the 40cr because I didn’t want to start modding an amp, to smooth it out, that was still in its return period. Also wanted a head not a combo. Can’t believe they don’t offer that 40 cr in a head. Similarly can’t believe they don’t have foot pedal to take advantage of all its features. Oh there is one available from time to time through dealer in San Diego who marks it up with the intensity of an angry homeless San Diegan.

Also I have to admit I love the lack of options on the origin. I’m a simpleton like that. If I could build a pedalboard out of effects that all I not have one knob I would. More or less....I like my chances for success with those options.

I also feel that the 40cr is a great option for those who would like to ditch most of their pedalboard drives (which is most of my board). Lots of redundancy when playing with 40cr. However with the origin I have a great fairly clean pedal platform, which is perfect for me as I don’t do anything squeaky clean- both musically and personally
