First Impressions: Origin Effects Deluxe55 Tweed Recreation

Back in June, I bought a Deluxe55 amp-in-a-box pedal by Origin Effects.

This is a photo of my pedalboard.

There are 3 pedals on the board. From left to right, they are:

- Origin Effects Deluxe55
- Lazy J Cruiser Deuce
- Arc Effects Klone v2 — Origin Effects Deluxe55, Lazy J Cruiser Deuce and Arc Effects Klone v2 on my pedalboard.

What do I think of it? Here are my first impressions.

New Arrivals: July 2025

This month’s theme was going to be “retro”. I’ve picked up one of the o.g. Klon klones from before they were a thing, and (effectively) a re-issue of the original Honey Bee circuit.

Then, towards the end of the month, I had the opportunity to get two more pedals from Origin Effects (the one brand that I planned to explore this year). That has added a distinctly modern vibe to go alongside the “retro” theme.
