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!

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!!

Great bargain.
I have an expensive bluesbreaker amp and use this Origin more often. More versatile for EQ and driving than my beloved bluesbreaker. The pull-out boost option on the gain knob is great. It can be a little thin until you pull that knob out. I like to have it pulled out all the time. It's warm and fat that way. For clean and dirty. Such and amazing amp at that price. It's also very beautiful aesthetically. Love it.

Great value for the money, but could use some bass
Let's be honest, Marshalls are mid heavy and a 10" speaker will damp your bass that you just won't hear any low end response. Other than that, it is the best thing you can get until you can afford a blues breaker... but even then, the Blues Breaker does not have an FX loop.
I modified mine changing the default speaker with a Celestion G12 V-Type (the same included but bigger) and it just became magical. If you could do that modification, you're in for great amplifier.
