#marshallamps #dsl20 #review - Hudba
that Riff at the Beginning is amazing! ... love it👏
That makes me happy! 🤘❤️🙏
Fantastic review!! Your playing is amazing and great demonstration of all the tones this amp can produce. I think i should upgrade my DSL1 now. 😅
Thank you very much! Upgrades are always a good idea! 🙂🤘
Man I loved the fun you had , great review and so serious skills, without rubbing our noses in it. Thanks made my decission for me!!!
Thank you very much! That makes me happy! Hope you'll enjoy the amp as much as I do! 🤘❤️
@@schorschharrison legend!!
Great review! Thanks for using the low power setting. You got some excellent tones without blowing the walls down. 😁🤘
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. The DSL20 really sounds rich and full at low volumes! ❤️🙌
Great configuration sound awesome on clean and dirt wow
The amp is awesome! 🤘
Awesome.Carsten. ..anything 80's sounding is great in my world 🎼🎼🎸🎸🤘🤘
Haha, I second that Kenny! Although I was born in 83 and have more memories from the 90's than from the 80's, all songs/bands I was listening to as a teenager had their prime in the 80's and that's probably why I'm also in love with the 80's guitar tone/sound.
Lol.well i'm a wee bit older than you 🤣..but my growing up years with the guitar was the 80's..the pointy reverse headstocks..and every mutha at the time could shred..lol..a few of your kemper packs i have bought..are great for 80's stuff..🙌😉🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🤘
Und wieder ein weiterer "Gute Laune Test"aus dem Hause Stepanowicz. Danke Carsten 😊🙏
Sehr gerne! 😄✌️
So wonderful rock sound!👍👍👍
Thank you very much! The amp is awesome for harder rock sounds! 🤘
Sounds awesome
Thank you! 🙌❤️
damn you can shred. Exceptionally underrated guitar channel Imo. Keep up the good work 👌🤘
Thank you so much! 🤘❤️

Oh man and i have just the cab for this head, 1960 cab with Celestion Heritage G12H 55hz Greenbacks!!
It's a crazy good sounding combination! 🤘❤️
My experience with the DSL20HR was in my apartment I can not use much volume at all before the whole house is shaking and everyone is complaining. But in our big rehearsal room with our drummer that plays very loud and the rest of the band cranking their 50-100W tube amps, this DSL20HR head is just not loud enough.
In a bedroom, sure, it will lift the bed from your floor, but at a gig with a loud band, it is not enough.
The 40W combo however is a HUGE improvement in volume and headroom.
I do not understand why Marshall does not make a 50W DSL head since I do not like to play combo amps. To crank a 50W tube head would be ideal for small but loud gigs. As it stands It is a pretty big step up from DSL20HR to DSL100HR but what can I do, Marshall is forcing me to buy the DSL100HR which I think is overkill.
I totally agree with ya, I wish they would make these mini/compact heads at least in 40watt versions, that would really be the ideal headroom for me, good for home practice and just enough volume to keep up at band practice. Best of both worlds😁
@@TypeoS Yes, 40-50W is where it's at man. For smaller venues you can crank it to the max, at some places you can mick it up to the PA as well. But 40-50W fully cranked is loud for smaller venues. And in rehearsal room it can boogey with my mates 50-100 W easily.
I mean a 100W marshall head would be like 3-4 DB louder than a 50W, it is some difference but not night and day so 50W head would be perfect.
You can get max from your tubes by cranking it up and you get them cheaper than 100W so it is win win. My friends with 100W almost never get to use them properly to their full potential, just a waste of money.
Bro the difference in volume between the 20 and 40 is marginal. Its a different flavor of distortion and a little more CLEAN headroom….Your crazy!!! Buy the 100, shut up and play!!!! Marshall isnt forcing you to do shit.
Yeah . Without an attenuator the 100 watt is simply too much. And I gig every weekend in small venues.
@@ibrajimenez2098 I wonder if anyone is honest on the internet. You dont need an attenuator on the dsl100hr. Maybe a jcm800 but not the dsl. You guys are silly geese’…. It has an MV. Aka master volume. Your f*ckin nuts!!!
Much appreciated!
🤘❤️
Dude U r an amazing player! Wow!
Thank you very much! 🤘❤️
Man! KILLER GUITAR!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you very much! 🤘❤️
HeyCarsten nice tone man dsl heads are good man I have 2 DSL H 100 watt beasts.
Mate that's awesome! Stereo setup?
Stereo set up would love to do,I am curious to blend the EVH Iconic 80watt head and one of the DSL heads 😀 🤔the Iconic head is awesome man I had it almost a year alot of bang for the price point..
Thanks for this video... awesome playing! I've been contemplating the Marshall DSL20 for some time. Any recommendations for a bedroom cabinet to go with the Marshall DSL20?
Depending on the size of your bedroom I'd go for a JVM212 cab because of the speaker combination (very cool!) or a 1×12 with V30 or Greenback. ✌️
@@schorschharrisonI bought an Origin 212 vertical and replaced the speakers with Celestion G12-75
Hello, thanks for the demonstration of the dsl20hr. What cabinet did you use in this video?
It's been a pleasure 🙂 It's the 2x12 JVM cabinet. Did I use the lower one two? Then it's the Blackstar 2x12 with Seventy80's. ✌️
You suddenly turned into Shakespeare when you switched to the Marshall cab
Hahaha, all‘s well that ends well! ☝️😀❤️
Uou were able to get the best tone out of this amp from all the other reviews 👌👌
The amp is pretty bright, but I'm certain it's better for a mix than the bass-heavy tones which sound amazing on their own, but quickly get drowned once you add bass and a bass drum......
Thanks! I agree to 100%! When I practice at home I dial back the presence a lot. I crank it on stage and it's perfect in a band mix. 🤘❤️
I love the DSL! But the clean chanell is too mutch bright in my oppinion! Im a Jackson guy, but that guitar is a beauty!
Id love to see a comparisson between that DSL and the Silver Jub!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
It would be nice comparison If i could get my hands on a DSL100. Or I need a Silver Jubilee studio. Either way, great idea bro! 🤘
@@schorschharrison can't you compare the ones you have? In CZcams you can't tell mutch difference in volume 😜
@@portuguesebeer5069 True that! 😂🙌
Great playing and it sounds great!! I can't decide what Im going to buy?? Either marshall or evh lbxs?! You ever play the EVH lbxs? Would like your opinion.. thanks
Thank you very much Jimmy! Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to get my hands on a EVH lbxs yet. I bet the distortion is awesome. But probably the DSL is more versatile/tweakable soundwise.
Stay away from EL 84 power tubes ,, they sounded retardation in 6505 MH
you just sold me on this amp friend
You won‘t regret it! 🤘
I have plan to buy DSL20 head too. You are real pretty played shredding solo & legato. What's size of string to you use?
Thanks! I use D'Addario 9-42. 🤘❤️
I love this head 🤫😜🤘
😄🙌
I need one 😜 for my Ibanez 🎸🎶🎵🎶
11:30 PM. Los Angeles.
Awesome! Greetings from Germany! (08:30 AM) 😄🙌
I have the 20HR and the 100HR heads... It is fantastic how the 20 truly sounds like the 100 ... Some amps lose some of the tone quality going smaller
Never compared them back to back but I assume it‘s because of the power tubes. Smaller heads often use EL84‘s or similar whereas the 20HR has the regular EL34‘s. 🤘❤️
@@schorschharrison agreed... The Mesa MKV 25w head also retains the larger amps tone but does use EL84's interesting
@@jasonsapp792 Oh, that‘s interesting. Thanks for the info! Mesa has been hard to get here in Europe so I‘m not really experienced with Mesa’s stuff. I need to change that! 😄✌️
@@schorschharrison I have bothe the MKV 90w and MKV 25w very close
Which cab is the best with this amp🤔tks my friend 😜
I say Marshall 4x12 with Greenbacks. 🤘
Sounds much better with the 70/80's
Very underrated speaker imo! 🤘❤️
@@schorschharrison to expand on this....certain speakers are for gig use ô l'y sometimes but for us 99.9% Who plays at home the Seventy80' is much more responsive and have a broader response at lower volumes...tried to swap mine in my DDL20C with a Creamback at almost 350$ cad and returned to my stock 70/80' within a week
@martinlahaie6012 Absolutely! More expensive doesn‘t mean better automatically! I‘ve gigged with the Blackstar 2x12 and the Seventy80‘s in that cab sound awesome at high volumes too! Absolute versatile speaker! 🤘❤️
When will you be covering Baker Street?
Well...😄
Carsten am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und Sorgen !🎉 Oder wie Wookiee sagen würde : mmmhhäääüüühh
Hahaha, bester Mann! 🤘😄❤️
Man i have a question. I only have 1 pedal which is the bluesky strymon using the fx loop of my marshall dsl20hr. But im hearing this humming sound. But when using the pedal infront of the amp im not hearing the humming sound. Is my dsl20hr have an fx loop issue or is that normal? Hope to hear from you man. More power to you. By the way the amp is brandnew
Thank you! Well, the DSL hasn't the quietest fx-loop in the world unfortunately. I start my fx-loop with a gate. That seems to tame it. Idk if you checked my comment under the other video: If the hum is unusual loud and overshadowing your guitar playing, I'd check it with the store where you bought the amp. Hope this helps! 🙂
@@schorschharrison I appreciate your time answering my question and I'm happy I'm not the only one hearing the hum sound coming from the effects loop. Oh and your gallop riffs are killer!!!
@@arielmadridejo Thank you! That makes me happy! 🤘
would you recommend buying this amp also for smaller band gigs and band practices? also what cabinet would you recommend to buy with it? (id prefer a 4x12)
I'm using it for smaller band gigs and band practices, it's perfect for these occasions. I love using the head with my Marshall 4x12 Celestion G75T. 🤘❤️
thank you so much!! stay awesome :D
@@Lara-iq7pl You too! 🤘🙂
Your intro tune literally sounds like anything off Hardwired
An unreleased b-side! 😄
If the next single off the new album sounds like that I’d be happy :)

Thanks Michael! 🤘
Hello first of all im new in the bigger amp scene😄J have an DSL40CR now but i dont know but i dont like the gain of it, my problem is that not even the pinch harminic really sound, and the lead tone feels weak to me, like there is no real distorshen on it. Would an booster pedal help me? Can it be that my guitar dont have enough Signal or so? I have an older jackson rx10d. Please can you give me some advise?🥺
Well, Marshalls in general aren't the most compressed amps which is a good thing. The downside is you have to work hard to get your pinch harmonics. A boost pedal will definitely help (Tube Screamer etc). I don't think it's because of low output humbuckers. You will learn to love the amp - You both just need some play time together. 🙂
@@schorschharrison thanks for the fast reply!
Would you say tube screamer or an Boss SD1?
@christianlandmann9759 Always happy to help! Both are fine - Whatever color you prefer 😂
Hola !! Quiero comprar este ampli , pero tengo duda si en casa a volúmenes bajos daría bien sonido .
O mejor sería comprar un DSL 1 ??? Que opináis ??
It sounds good at low volumes. I recorded the video at bedroom level. My concern with the DSL 1 is, if you want to play louder you simply can‘t and you‘re also more flexible soundwise with the DSL20. And the reverb is great! 🤘❤️
It seems like the Blackstar cab has more depth and not in your face than the JVM cab does which I like.
Absolutely! I'm also a fan of it. The Seventy80's are underrated speakers imo!
@@schorschharrison Agreed
done subs😍💪
Thank you so much! 🤘❤️
Hello do you recomand using attenuator on this amp ? cause i hardly ever go above volume 1 and i dont get the same amount of gain with your settings( using les paul with jb-jazz pickups + boss sd1). So my question this amp will sound much better with attenuator and volume at 5-6?
Actually the gain is produced in the preamp section and has nothing to do with the master volume. To answer your question: No, an attenuator won't increase the gain on your amp. Maybe some hotter pu's will do the trick. 🤘
Oh well the jb should be about 16k thats pretty hot maybe im not using the sd1 right or the eq of the amp. Ill be happy to know how you set the zmp on low volume 🙏
@@user-ij8sg2ig1e My bad sorry. I didn't know your pickup. As it's titled "jazz" I though it would be low output. 😂 EQ is everything at 12 o' clock and gain between 11 - 01 o' clock. When I use a boost like an SD-1 I don't set the gain on the amp higher than 11 o' clock. Volume is hardly on 😂 Really bedroom level.
Thank u 🙏🙏 keep making videos such as this 🤘
actually yes it will. As "schorschharrison" said above most of the gain will come from the preamp, BUT........... for most Marshalls to sound the way you want them to, you need to get the power tubes cooking a little. This amp completely opens up and sounds 100% better when you the get the master past 5. I use a cheap Burgera PS1 attenuator and run the gain around 2 o'clock and the master vol around 2-3 o'clock, amp in 20 watt mode and adjust the volume I need from the PS1, pure Marshall sound.
This or mt15? Which one you prefere and why?
I prefer the Marshall but solely because I don‘t play as much metal as I used to. If you‘re a metal head and you‘re looking for a great clean and distortion tone, go for the MT-15. If you‘re more on the hard rock side, go for the DSL 20! Hope that helps! 🤘❤️
Echt schwere Entscheidung,
DSL 20 oder PRS MT 15 oder Peavey 6505 mh?
Hauptsache der Sound ist voll und satt.😉
Wer die Wahl hat...😁🙌
Wird wohl PRS MT 15 mit externen Reverb
What brand of gate are you using?
The company is called "Donner". Dirt cheap, does the job. 🙌
@@schorschharrison Great and thanks!
Would this be good for old school.punk rock
For sure!
@@schorschharrison big question is tho...is it LOUD enough to gig un miced or band rehearsal un miced or am I better of buying the dsl100h
@@73prd I play hard rock and metal and it's loud enough at band practice. In case of doubt get a 100 if you want to play live without micing your amp! ✌️
@@schorschharrison ok thanks mate
@@schorschharrison sorry I should have specified, the dsl through a 412 cab, loud enough
Das Intro Lied, ist das ein Witz mit Metallica oder gibt's den Song wirklich, zumindest klingt sehr nach Metallica.
Fettes Brett und geiler amp, hab ihn mir vor kurzem auch zugelegt mit nem Boss SD1 ein absolut krasses Thrash Metal Monster.
Der Amp + SD1 sind ne epische Combo! Das Intro ist ein Joke, den song haben Metallica (noch nicht) geschrieben. 😂🙌
Btw, welche Ibanez benutzt du hier und sind das Quantum Pickups? Wollte mir demnächst ne Ibanez rga42fm holen und bin auf den Sound der Pickups gespannt, da ich bisher DSL20 + Boss SD1 über Seymour Duncan JB gespielt hab,hoffe ich nicht dass ich enttäuscht werde.
@@timohoffmann1509 Das ist ne RG1070PBZ-CBB mit Di Marzio Pu's. Ich hab aber ne RG421 mit Quantum Pickups und kann dir ruhigen Gewissens sagen, dass die Quantums absolut ebenbürtig zu namenhaften Herstellern sind. ✌️
😃🤘🎶🎛🎸🍻🥁🥁❤️🔥
Name of the opening riff? 🙏
Some random riffing from yours truly✌️
@@schorschharrison sound like old metallica😂 i found this amp sound better with the mids and treble at 11:00 with sd1/ts9... with 2x12 70-80. Makes sense?
@@user-ij8sg2ig1e Definitely inspired by some old school Metallica! I'm also a huge fan of the Seventy80 speakers. They get a bit of hate and are considered to be cheap sounding speakers but I like them!
@@schorschharrison awsome playing! If you still got this amp i highly recomend on tung sol ax7 in v1. 90% less noise and much more clarity without losing gain 👍
@@user-ij8sg2ig1e Thanks bro. I'll watch out for a tung sol and try it! 🙂🙌
Sound like kill em all by Metallica
🤘❤️
😂😂
Killer tones! That "tone shift" is a terrible holdover from the JCM2000's. Useless!
Thank you Andy! I haven't met anybody who actually enjoys the tone shift. 😅
I hear a guitar player ??😊🤘🍻🎸🎛💥
