Just got back from the local GC with a pair of new (to me) pedals to slam my O20's with.
Traded in a pair of low-end Joyo drive pedals and walked out with these and change from a Franklin. :yesway:

EH Crayon OD & DOD Boneshaker Distortion.

The Crayon is a nice mid-gain vintage-y overdrive.
The Boneshaker has much more of a range of tone offerings.
Still messing with the frequency knobs on the concentric dual TMB pots.

Both are in need of a good cleaning and a hose down with Deoxit, but I'm diggin' some new flavors on the Origin stereo rig.
p.s. - the cheapo Ultimate Drive is still the king of this board. :guitar:

When all else fails, read the manual...
The frequency knobs on the concentric tone pots are kinda para-EQ adjustments.
You can adjust the treble, middle and base to add more upper, or lower frequency boost/cut to that tone knob.
So more upper mids, and less lower bass, for example - pretty cool...
The Depth knob adds more low end growl.
I think this is going to be a great drive pedal for the Origin20s.
 
When i had an Origin 20, it absolutely loved Boss SD1, with gain on amp almost maxed , then SD1 for leads or crunch, volume on pedal almost maxed & gain just a tad on, All tone shaping from the Guitar knobs. It seems in my experience with it. They set that amp up very Marshally correct ! Usually can tell with TS for lowish mid pop & SD1 for upper range lift immediately on amps by how they respond to the basic pedals..

The O20 is a very good amp. Having 4 holers really allowed the comprehension of the tilt. Was considering an O20 or 50 for gigging actually cause of hard darn reliable the tone was.

I think it way above average amp and fantastic pedal platform. With tilt set the other way, some some lower gain than i require, it can be a very jtm45ish - bassmanish amp. Also, noticed speakers really influenced well, celestion in your face classic M tone & Eminence & Jensen more laid back American.

An amp that does exactly what you ask of it !
