I'm aware it's cheaper, but do ANY famous guitarist use it?

maiden used DSL heads as power amps for awhile; not sure if they're still doing that live or not

Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Ritchie Sambora, and many others. Just because they're commonplace doesn't make them bad amps at all. There's a few Marshalls that have a richer tone, but DSL's are far from the bottom of the heap.

I see people buying new generic high gain amps, when they'd be better off buying older DSL's off Craigslist at bargain prices.

New generic high gain amps.

That's actually a pretty funny and accurate concept. Nice.

Karl Sanders and Dallas Toller-Wade from NILE use the DSL and so does Alison Robertson of The Donnas.

Not sure I would call it cheaper, less expensive might be a better term. Joe Bonamassa uses two live also.

I think the question is whether anyone is using the newer, cheaper, made in China and redesigned JCM 2000 compared to the original made in Britain JCM 2000's.

IMO the newer MIC ones are improved, particularly the dsl40- but many artists use and still use the original English made ones

I think the question is whether anyone is using the newer, cheaper, made in China and redesigned JCM 2000 compared to the original made in Britain JCM 800's.

I think you meant to say: newer, cheaper, made in China DSL's compared to the original made in Britain JCM2000s.

The Chinese one's do not bare the JCM badge.

Got my English DSL 2000 for $650 with a 900 cab on CL. I freaking love the thing. Great cleans and more than enough gain.

I still remember that steal you got Bruce. Must have been a crack addict hard up for a fix to let both go for that price

Gary Holt used three DSLs with Slayer for a while, not sure if he's still using them or not

Neal Schon used too, not sure if he still does

Just look at back page of some old Guitar World mags. Rectifiers/Marks, 5150/6505, jcm2000/800,,,,,,,,,almost every issue it was one of those.

Re: Do any famous guitarists use the Marshall JCM2000?

According to the Internet, Dave Murray of Iron Maiden uses one. Is this BS?
