2020s Marshall Origin 20 20w Tube Amp

This as-new Marshall Origin 20 was brought in for consignment the other day. It's in primo condition and ready to go. It looks like it was just bought out of a different shop and then dropped-off here.

These are rated at 20w power and are fit with a 1x10" Celestion speaker setup. It sounds quite retro but has some nice modern features including master volume, gain, and "pull to boost" controls. The EQ settings are sort-of typical except that there's a "tilt" knob that rolls the overall EQ from a tweedier, woodier, warmer sound to a more AC Top Boost, chimey, brighter sort-of tone.

Over on the right side are three switchable power settings -- low, medium, and high -- and low seems to operate about like a 2w amp, medium about a 5w to 8w amp, and high the full 20w. This lets you get some pretty good gained-up sounds at low volumes which, these days, is useful for the home or small studio space where you don't really want to rumble the walls.'

It has its original footswitch, too.
