was the origin lol I like the spanky tones. Slight soul food boost. Prb your speakers ??

I needed the volume on the amp turned up slightly to fatten it a little more. Still decent for DI

Anyone have Epiphone pro buckers in there Les Paul's? I'm thinking there a little too smooth I might have to put a super distortion in. I want more raunchy biting tones. There's A 2 alnicos in the Epiphone so there not very high output.

Ken try a SD jb in the bridge, I have one set up this way and it sounds fat and chunky,

I actually put them in 2 of the epiphone LP’s and 1 in a g400 SG I like them a lot, of course you may not

I have a 2012 LP (PTP). I like the probuckers but I'm thinking of swapping them out for SD WLH's.
Also, I tend to use my Wampler PDD a lot....

Got some good Page/ACDC Plexi tones by upping the tilt treble and presence to almost 3 o clock with boost off with the SF pedal clean boosting. My Les Paul doesn't have a maple cap just a veneer top so it worked out pretty well. Also re adjusted the pickups a little higher.

Oh....Soul Food boost that explains it!!! Lol!

had the gain at 10 o clock for a little bite but today with the Les Paul gain off volume up gave it more plexi sounding with its mids

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.

Today, I was forced to leave my Origin 20C to the dealer, to be sent to Marshall for repair.

I bought it 20180522.

The problem that occurred is that I started using it in high mode in rehearsal.

In position low, everything works as it should sound good every time.

Also in mid mode, everything is OK

If I choose high mode , then it starts snapping and crunching even with the master at 0

If I start playing then it goes well for a little while and then vanishes, crackles and come back after a tenth of a second.

Will see what the verdict will be during next week...........

sucks, good luck ! loose wire or something simple probably

Tried some Tung-Sol 12ax7s in my Origin 50c yesterday and I think I like them. Great sound character, quiet and just a little brighter than Mullard 12ax7s which for me is what this amp needs.
