Can they be trusted 😀

I’d imagine it would translate quite well. I can hear a difference running just my amp versus running my pedal board into my amp. Same way my amp Di is adequate- I never use it but had to recently as my tube pre amp wasn’t giving any sound (turned out it was a simple fix but the amp DI did the job in a pinch). Did it sound ok for the gig yes but it’s wasn’t as enjoyable a sound. I could defo he’s the difference in my IEM’s This same question gets asked a lot on forums and there’s been some great demos showing how a pedal can sound like another pedal but I believe Origin are going for more of an experience in both feel and tone. It might not be important to folk for a pedal to feel like an amp if it’s nearly £500 but it’s exciting that we have a recreation of a classic amp that folks are describing as nailing the tone and feel. Does a 5k bass vintage bass sound better than a £400 bass? Does it feel better to play versus the £400 bass? Not everyone cares for these things but it’s nice when we can feel and hear a difference and that can push something form desirable to must have fall in love at the first play. If a £99 pedal can do 80% great but some players live for the last 20% because that’s where the inspiration lives.

Yeah I think the origin stuff isn’t a ‘like for like’ comparison to the other gear out there claiming to do a similar thing. While the question will always be does it sound like… many of these boutique businesses (such as Wren and Cuff with their era correct Muff recreations) it will sound like the particular amp or pedal they have access to which might sound different form your pedal or amp from the same era. What Origin are doing is pretty cool and gonna make a lot of people happy who want the sound and ‘feel’ of those classic amps recreated as closely as possible in a compact form. Will my tube preamp set to sound like a B15 with eq tweaks sound like the Fifteen? No but it may sound close enough or closer than some other B15 recreations, it may sound good enough but I’ve never played a B15 to compare. Im gonna try and pick one up (mostly if a used one comes up) as I think the sound and way people are describing the feel would be the perfect direct to PA for the always on tone and with a simple twist of a knob it would provide the gritty tones I sounds get with other pedals. If anyone’s sending one back let me know if you’d be up for some trade and Px discussion I’ve got some gear I’d be up for discussing 😀

Reminds me of some of the tracks he recorded for the Lakland bass demos waaay back on their site… presuming it was IMA that did those. He had some cracking tracks on those.

Come on @Quatschmacher we’re all on the edge of our seats for the verdict.

Tempted so very tempted

Checking down the back of the sofa for extra pennies!

I can see them doing a similar move as with the bassman bass rig having that similar type of ‘mode switch’ tweed/Blk. Be cool To see the styling too

Yeah you can imagine a ‘64/‘66 switch or something like that.

Whe. You think about it QM asked about this pedal and they said it at least a 2yr development cycle but that’s not to say it was already well into development. Looking forward to hearing the demos of this one and just had a couple of pedals sell and a refund from Thomann!!

Oh my!!

There’s a nano cortex at a good price near me on a local FB group and I’d be tempted as a way to capture my core sound and shirk my board down but then I think well I can just bring my board and save £300ish quid. I’ve a couple of core pedals (mostly my tube preamp) and I’d hate anything to happen on a gig but we’re reasonable well protected from the masses but some doofus managed to drop a pint on the ‘stage area’ last gig and it got me thinking. I do think the NC is a tidy wee box and as I’m only really using clean or drive tones and some IR it would be a nice addition.

Unsubscribed.

Yeah I think folks are alluding to it being a Marshall type. Trying to think of the link between those artists in terms of a bit of gear.

Now you’re talking.

More likely they’re making them in batches and not rushing ‘all hands on deck’ to this one unit over their normal production schedules. I mean they should but…
