Marshall ORI20H Origin Head and ORI212A Cabinet Bundle Reviews
In the market for a slant-cab Marshall stack that won't break your back en route from the van to the stage? The Marshall Origin 20 "quarter-stack" from Sweetwater is your ticket to real-deal British tube tone in an easy-hauling format. The Origin 20 amp head roars to life with the tonal authority of three ECC83 preamp tubes and two EL34 power tubes, along with the quick dialing-in simplicity of our favorite Jim Marshall heirloom amps. Onboard Powerstem output reduction keeps the Origin 20 sounding optimal at both bedroom and bedlam levels. The Origin 20 head is perfectly complemented visually and tonally by Marshall's matching upright ORI212A slant cab, loaded with two 12-inch Celestion Seventy 80 speakers to deliver that rootsy British chime and ample low-end punch. Just like Marshall's full-sized slant cabs, the ORI212A's slanted baffle directs sounds up to the stage and straight to the floor so players and listeners both can partake in that iconic Marshall tone. If you're looking to shave some poundage off your cartage, this Marshall Origin 20 half-stack delivers authoritative British tube tone in a reduced form factor.

Coming back full circle
After a series of other amps over the years, it's a pleasure to come back to a Marshall again. This little stack has a great clean and boost tone by itself and is such a pedal friendly set up, that I'm putting off my anticipated speaker upgrades. If there's more improvement after the break in, I'll probably be asking myself, "why bother?" Thank you Jason for your help with this and other purchases.
Marshall Greatness
Couldn't be happier with it. My first experience with an amp with an effects loop and it's pretty awesome too.
Love it and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
marshall tone for ever
Had many tube amps Through The years solid state and a few digital currently own a fender Blues Junior 4 boss katana 50 combo and now this origin 20 rig i finally found that tone iv been searching for. I'm not knocking the fender bj4 its awsome in its own way. Buy my first all tube marshall and I now understand just awsome
Love the Vintage Tone, Clean and Nasty
I could not be more thrilled with the Marshall Origin 20H Head and it's companion the Marshall ORI212A cabinet since it's arrival a few weeks ago from Sweetwater. Got it the day before the Texas Blizzard of '21 shut the power down and had to wait for a week to plug it in! The tones of the ORI20H remind me of my first Marshall head and full stack I had in 1966. It has that "thunk" I was looking for with the first strum of my LP, my Strat sounds glorious when pushed with the volume and gain dialed in. It is clean and nasty when I drive some dirt pedals into the front, takes modulation pedals through the effects loop like a dream.
The fact that it is $ less expensive than the Marshall Studio Vintage 20 is not lost on me. It may not be "hand wired made in England" but I am not a snob if it sounds great which it does. Makes a great "bedroom" amp. Thanks to Nate Burkhardt for his help in securing the head and matching ORI212A cabinet for me before they were sold out.
Great pedal platform
Recieved my bundle 3-4weeks ago. Great sound in this head. The only minor thing is tge gain knob feels kinda funny when turning it. Other than that, great overdrive, lots of tone and good volume. I play mostly rock ( Alice in chains, soundgarden, ect...) with a very loud drummer. We had no problems hearing this head.
Also, and as always, customer service is excellent. My Sr Sales Engineer, Paul Allen, always goes beyond expectations to satisfy my needs.
