Understanding Tilt
The tilt control on the Origin series mimics the channel jumping (or patching as some call it) on the old Marshall ‘Plexi’-style amps. Channel jumping is when you place a patch cable between two of the inputs on a ‘plexi’ amp, this makes both channels run in parallel together.
On ‘Plexi’ style amps one had a high treble or standard input, one sounds kind of bright and in-your-face, and another which sounded a lot more mellow and relaxed. In the past, people have patched the two channels together giving them a blend of the two. The tilt control gives you this ability with a simple turn, giving you more versatility and control in the brightness of your sound instead of having to choose between two extremes.
This makes the Origin sound much more mouldable for any player meaning it can be used in many different ways to achieve the desired tone. All the way from Rock and metal to even country, blues and clean playing.
