Re: Need some opinions

I'm currently in tone heaven running an EL34 amp....That said;

DSL, 5150, 6505 - I could wake up and play the rev-it-up channel on any of those all day every day and be just fine. Features and such make the difference then.

I was not happy with the 1st channels on any of them for live use. At least not without hooking up some kind of more dirt and lead boost pedals.

I did notice that the DSL crunch channel would need a boost. It's a really narrow margin, but I could probably be happy with either one stock.

Re: Need some opinions

I've been doing some poking around, did the 6534+ get discontinued? It's not available on most online stores now

New Old Stocks are probably running out. Now that they've moved production to China the whole amp-line has been streamlined down to the biggest selling models.

Probably should just look for "gently-used" anyways at this point IMO. Made-In-USA and a bit cheaper.

Re: Need some opinions

So I'm hoping to get a tube combo sometime this year, either a Marshall DSL40CST or a 6505 combo. I'm definitely leaning more towards the Marshall, because I tend to prefer the sounds of EL34 vs 6L6 (in my limited experience). I was going to get a 5150III, but I realized that was way out of my price range.

My thing is, I like the sound of the 6534 head, so I was wondering if there was a way to put EL34s in the 6505+ combo?

There was Andertons blindfold test in Youtube, where Chapman mistook DSL40C for a modeler, because he thought the overdriven tone of the amp was just too perfectly smooth to be a real tube amp.

Afair the Bugera Infinium 6262 knockoff of the 6505+ is self-biasing and can take any tubes that'll fit

Chappers is a ridiculous, ridiculous little man

Re: Need some opinions

I'm going with the DSL. It has better cleans, and the 5150 pedal can give me that sound if I need it. (Sorry for posting on this old thread, but I figured there should be a conclusion)
