Marshall SV20H vs SC20H vs DSL20HR vs 2525H

By placing a 12DW7 in V1 of the DSL20 removes the fizz and is a different amp all together. Its a Hybrid tube designed with 12AX7 in the first half and a 12AU7 in the second half. Green channel stays the same. The second half of V1 is the first overdrive stage. It makes the gain control alot more useful.

Now, push the MV of the SC up to 8 or so, that's where the real magic happens ;-)
Originally posted by bigcupholder View PostGreat video! I liked the SC20H the best. It sounded simultaneously balanced, fat and clear. I was surprised how much I didn't like the SV20H. The other two were a bit of a toss up: the 2525H was a bit too biting, and the DSL20 was a bit scooped sounding with too much bass.
It's a shame the smaller DSLs don't have the classic crunch channel like the DSL40 and up. It's a great channel and I'm curious how it compares to the SC20H.

Well good morning Vietnam! I like the dsl best on it's own. With the right boost maybe the 800 would win for me.

AFAIK those speakers weren't yet available when the 2203/2204 mkII circuit was released in '77 (or maybe late '76). As much as those original amps varied, I couldn't say if the schematics changed that much over the years, or if it was just natural variance between amps.

Originally posted by Lake Placid Blues View PostI notice that you use G12M IRs throughout. This is, of course, the way to compare apples to apples as much as possible. However, the 800 was originally voiced around the G12-65, and the Jubilees were voiced around the Marshall G12 Vintage. Not that they sounded bad. They still sounded great. It would be interesting to see how they sounded through those, in addition. Of course G12M response is the legacy for a plexi, and in my opinion the DSL amps sound great through them as well.

Re: Marshall SV20H vs SC20H vs DSL20HR vs 2525H
I liked the DSL20HL best...
Slightly less refined than a couple of the others maybe, but more ballsy/in your face sounding.
Nice comparison

I love my DSL20HR. Haven't tried the other 3.

I love my 2525H, but I may be biased by having had a 2555 for 16 years prior to that acquisition...

Re: Marshall SV20H vs SC20H vs DSL20HR vs 2525H
I seem to prefer the SV.
