Ok stock, but I know a guy who turns them into something from the underworld :burnout:
They are ok but nothing special on their own, I am thinking about getting one of those as well and get the mod done to it....sometimes I want that modern crunch.

I think that the 100 watts top is the best sounding of them, and the 50 is very good too, but it all depends on what usage they are for.
The 100 can actually play at low volumes and still sound good.
The mod I have not seen, he is the same guy who is making our upcoming highgain tube thing(hopefully)
He can turn anything that has good powertrafo's into something great.
By the way try this link, it is about the DSL100.

Re: In light of the other Marshall topic...
Ooh that sounds really good... but I know little about amplifiers in general - can you play heads by themselves or do you need a cabinet?
At the moment I've got a Peavey Rage 158, a solid state, it's terrible, and I've got the option to purchase something better lol...

Ah the catch with heads is getting a cab for it, preferly 2x12 or a 4x12 if you like the extra omph.

DSL 201 is being discontinued... DSL 401 is a gorgeous amp though. i gigged with it on saturday, because of the power tubes being pushed, it sounded like it was outgunning the DSL100
only problem is, DSL401s get *hot*. *reaaaal* hot. theres no fan, so theres been reliablilty problems where the heat from the tubes has knackered the solder joints on the bridge rectifier, frying said amp.
they do sound jolly nice though :dance:

Re: In light of the other Marshall topic...
THAT WAS MY FIRST AMP! and i broke the guitar input off so i had to use the cd input, haha, at that point, anything was better than that. if you got a dsl of any kind, the upgrade in tone would likely give you a siezure :laugh2:Rainmaker said:

I would never buy a Marshall. But on Gearjoneser's recommendation I will try out a DSL 50 one day just for fun.

Re: In light of the other Marshall topic...
Thanks for your replies guys! (oops, rhyme)
The DSL 50 is a head, right - and although Rid had partially addressed this for me (cheers!), I was wondering if you actually NEEDED a cabinet to play... because at the moment, If you could just run straight off the head - that would be fine for me.
I'm not needing to play anywhere else but in my house at the moment...?
Thanks

Re: In light of the other Marshall topic...
Even if the combo will suit for live situations, it'll get muddier quicker than you would if you have more speakers for the sound to escape from.
I'd say so if you have any desire to play audiences in the future. At least then, you'll have the option to hook it up to a badass 4x12!Rainmaker said:

Re: In light of the other Marshall topic...
Great! i own the dsl100, and it just cannot sound bad. I love the deep switch (not much use for the tone switch if you ask me but then again im not into scooping), cuts through so well like marshalls known for, and you get great crunch. If you do not like mids, id def go mesa though, this marshall is full of them. Some say the features are simple but this helps just what you need. Channel 1 goes from great great clean to a nice zeppelin style crunch, and lead channel takes you from iron maiden to metallica style soloing! great amp imo, def worth the $
