Re: Marshall JCM2000 owners, reunite!
I can see that. the DSL, although designated to be the heir to the "JCM" line, it kinda isn't marshall "flagship" quality. The amp has quirks and flaws, and could use things like a choke, etc. I mean, it IS PCB.
It was priced near the bottom of the price range for Made in UK Marshalls, and I'll admit it shows a lil. It's the cheapest amp that has those features and sound and that's why I bought it.
Compared to some $1500+ amps, the DSL does start to lose it's appeal, but I feel like this amp beats almost any "british EL34 roar" amp around it's price range. It's got "The Marshall Sound". Even to me the JSX didn't "sound like a Marshall." You could use it for the same music and it'd sound great but it still sounds different.
It's kinda a working man's amp, the DSL. That's how I look at it. Like the HRDx... it does a few things well but it certainly gives you a sound you can use at a price you can manage, and it's great but there's better stuff out there.
