Tube warmth
If you want a good solid tube amp at with a vintage look, feel and sound, the Origin is it. Even with the output at low and volume at 1 you get a true tube amp feel without any signal loss.
I'd happily play this live at any occasion be it a club gig or in a studio and if you want to turn it up and feel it growl, it will have no problem keeping up with whatever you want to do. Also takes pedals fantastically well and has a very functional FX loop in the back.

It is what it is and that's good!
Want some good ol' Jimi, Jimmy, and Stevie tones? You'll get them! It's vintage, warm and really good. Great with pedals as well. However, it's also really loud. You can absolutely play at home as well, but you'll only get some saturation and mild distortion at bedroom levels. Just go crank it somewhere and it's magical! Perfect for blues, old school rock, heavy rock etc.

Modern version of a plexi
This is my third tube amp and i must say it pairs beautifull with my Vox AC10. Solid mid range power from the marshall with a nice tilt knob which lets you chose between the bright or normale channel of a plexi or blend between the two.
I'm a pedal guy and this amp takes pedals very good!
The DI out is something I haven't been able to figure out to sound good on my focusrite but i prefere to mic them anyway!

Small details can change big picture
I bought Origin 20C Combo for rehersal and small live venues, as we need low volume amp. Sound volume in low position is as expected - low and basicly good. But difference between low and mid output is not so big. I notice, that with low output bottom (low) frequences will dissaper a bit. So, for recording use high output (and room with sound isolation).
Tilt function is basicly same as treble knob - only with different sound colorization. Good for searching own sound, only in quite narrow range.
3 stars for quality - electronics and sound are worth 4 stars but metallic cap at the end of handle just fall away. OK, I fix it with drop of glue but this was unpleasant for brand new combo.

I owned a SuperBass Head/Cab back in the day and thought this would be a nice addition for domestic use to get plexi tones at a sociable level.
The tones are great - very bright, but sing when pushed in to light OD. However, it is ear crushingly loud - not suitable at all for home use without a power soak (even the low power setting is very very loud - much more so that the same low power setting on my Victory V40). This s not a criticism, just an observation. If you are looking for something that will bridge the gap between home use and small gigs, this is probably too loud - but it does sound great!

Perfect Budget Marshall
I ordered this amp initially because I love the looks. Might sound shallow on my side but I need to be attracted visually to my gear to use it.
At first I was underwhelmed by the volume. I loved the sound but was disappointed because really needed to crank it in order to play with a full band but a few days later when playing at home I realized I have found the perfect amp both for home and gigs/rehearsals. Knock it down to low power mode and master on 3 and you can play this in an apartment - put it in high power and go to 8-9-10 on the master and you got yourself a gigging amp.
The speaker is also good but it needs a few hours to burn in. In really makes a difference. It really doesn't matter that it's only a 10 inch.
I love that the amp is light. I have back problems and this is a blessing.
Feature set is perfect for me. Too much controls on an amp and I have option-paralysis. This is the right amount.
Loves pedals, but I didn't try too many on it. I'm a simple guy, I like overdrive, chorus, trem and delay.
All in all I love this amp. For once I am fully happy with a piece of gear :)
Cheers!

It's good as price
It's really good amp for this price, it has old school sound.
It could be better if it had internal reverb.

Great value for money of you can crank it
This amp gives you that classic marshall tone. If you can crank it that is. At low volume it does sound dull and lifeless but if you can turn up the gain a bit you're in for a treat. Simple layout so there's not much to mention there. My biggest complaint is the fact the fx loop cannot be used unless footswitch is connected and fx loop engaged which is a bit of a pain. Other than that it comes highly recommended!!
