Awesome. Probably too many knobs for me, but it sounds like a pretty good amp. Great review.

hmm

300 euro is REALY not bad for that cab ..

i paid around 150 for the speakers alone .. and the box is pissing me off cos the ******* carpenter didnt make the front baffle solid and the glue loosened and now there are gaps between the wood pieces

My cab seems to be of good quality as far as I can tell... Framus is actually quite well known to have good craftmanship at quite low prices.

Good to see another tone success story - helped along by 3 of Seymour's best, of course! It's also cool to show that even a Squier Strat, with the right surroundings, can make people happy...

that i agree.. but i didnt know those cabs are just a measly 300 .. if i knew that (sice the bums at the local shop couldnt tell me.. even though they got a framus dealership) i would have bought the cab instead of going through getting my own built

Well, your mother is rather occupied when she's sleeping with me, so you might have to wait a while.

Wow, didn't think you'd ever sink sooo deep... but well, if you can't find better ones, go on... have... fun...

I think I'd rather have the TSL 60 like you got, over the TSL 100, since it actually gets the power tubes warmed up when you turn it up to 3+.
I've plugged into that amp a couple times, and was able to get it dialed in nicely, plus I think it sounds best with Vin 30's.

Also, I think the TSL and DSL have bias points on the back of the amp, so if you change tubes down the road, all you'll have to do is hook up a voltmeter to it, and set it wherever Marshall suggests.

It has a little opening on the back that has a rubber cover and reads "Do not remove cover - test use only"... I think that's this biasing spot.

As for the volume, it really plays nice at 3+, although I prefer it at 5.
