    Happy holidays people! Trying out the Marshall DSL1. Will it chug?

    • @robertpurdy4452

      It pretty much was chugging from the time the tubes warmed up. Very cool, and Happy Holidays!

      Thank you for including the cut to the room mic Ola, that actually helped me understand something. I couldn't figure out why my tone just seemed to be missing something compared to what you were getting, for example from the Pathos and Revv G3 pedals. I didn't realise just how different the sound through the cab mic is. I think you did that on one of your Revv pedal reviews also. I now have an isolation cab so I can run my amps at a higher volume and listen to the mic'd sound through my board. Big difference!

      @wigon Před 4 lety +26

      Yup...Marshall should send him some free shit for this video. I DEFINITELY want to buy one now as the tone it makes to me is absolutely the ideal metal tone for my tastes. Super rich sounding with a crushing meaty chug that has the sponginess of a good tube amp going into power-tube compression and the deep ballsy depth and roar of a much larger amp. I wish we could have heard a bit more of the clean sound, but I'm sure it's quite nice as well.

The DSL1 sounds much more brighter over the DSL40 but an EQ in the loop will fix that. I have an old Lead12 double-stack that I would love to put the 1 watt head on.

    I have the DSL1 combo and it freakin' wails like a BEAST. The 8" speaker is a bit too bright so I built an extention cabinet using a 10" Crate bass amp with a Celestion VT Jr. speaker. I plugged with port with a thick foam pad and it DEFINITELY chugs. (I was running the amp through a pair of MG4×12's using a "cab merger" box. It was exhilarating but deafening so I built the 1×10 cab.)
    I have a Squier Contemporary HH Tele with Dimarzios, Super Distortion & 36th anniversary PAF, and it's monstrous sounding through the DSL1.

    Just bought this little guy 1 week ago, sounded fucking great the first time plugged in! I'm running it through a 1x12" PRS cabinet with G12T-75 (I know this speaker has been discussed quite controversial, but I've always been a fan of mid-scooped heavy distortion). First I had the Orange Ppc112 with a vintage 30, but I couldn't get along with this harsh sound.
    I only play at home, mostly in the 0.1Watt mode, this takes just a little bit of punch out of the sound, but for practising this really does the job.
    I got a few little helpers which REALLY increase the sound properly for playing at bedroom volume through a 12"
    TC Sentry Noise gate after guitar
    Ibanez Ts808dx Tubescreamer with Iintegrated booster (seperatly switches)
    And 10 band EQ through the fx loop
    Les Paul 2 Humbuckers
    All in all not quite s cheap as if you just would buy the Dsl1, but the 0.1watt makes a proper bedroom rocking machine and in combination with a few little helpers (which give you a lot more control for your sound) you'll have a true heavy metal machine giving you an authentic and also individual sound you'd never expect from this cutie.
    Choose your cabinet wisely...a 8" (like the combo) will give you more saturation out of the tubes, because you can turn up the volume more as you could with the 12". But an 8" pushes less air and will always sound "boxy" benefit: fits in the living room everywhere and the amp can be cranked even more.
    The 12" pushes more air which makes the Chugg very tight (EQ in fx loop!)
    A vintage 30 12" may sound good at the amp cranked full, but for playing at home it may not be doing the trick.
    I live in a apartment house, so I can't play that loud (0.1watt volume max on half) but it sounds actually really really good, cause the 12" pushes nicely (10 band EQ)
    I highly recommend this lilttle Metal Machine

    I absolutely love this amp. I got it for my birthday at the end of September and have it in my bedroom with a Seismic Audio 1x12 Luke cab and got a brand new 1x12 16ohm Celestion Greenback speaker to go with it. I can get any Metal tone from this that I want and it’s perfect volume for at home. The reverb sounds good and you can also get nice clean sounds. I play it with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom with passive pickups and a Harley Benton Explorer with Wilkinson passive pickups and they both sound killer.

      Awesome! I think I’m going to get this amp as well. Have an ltd viper with EMG’s as well as Harley Benton EX-84 with cheap active’s. Do you use any pedals?

    (Edit and apology below - the following info I provided yesterday on the DSL1 is incorrect). The 1 watt Marshall amps (DSL1, JCM1, JVM1) are part of the Marshall 50th Anniversary edition series. They come in a head and combo version for all three models. The DSL1 is Marshall's attempt to reproduce the tones of the 90's, the A channel is set up to sound like a Plexi, while the high gain channel is modeled after the 2203 (JCM 800 100 watt head). To Marshall's credit, they were some of the early models in this low watt range, specifically designed so you didn't have to crank your non-master volume amps to get that classic tone. I'd say the JVM1 is probably a bit closer to the territory you may like for "chugging", especially the JVM-1h (head version), since it connects nicely to any external cab. EDIT: My apologies, I was thinking this was part of the 50th Anniversary Series and didn't realize Marshall had made a different version of the DSL1H. Thanks to those below for the update, and I hope I didn't cause too much confusion. Thank you!!

      @Wagoo Před 4 lety +8

      This isn't that though, is it? They remade a DSL1 in their far east factory more recently (the one shown in the video). The 50th anniversary ones are all made in the UK and are from about 2012.. the DSL1H has JCM2000 written on the front

    • @lastscatteringsurface9950
      @lastscatteringsurface9950 Před 4 lety +2

      The DSL is only one that they continued to make, but these new ones aren't the same. The ones you're mentioning have a separate volume control for the clean channel, and are made differently, and valued higher.

And sold for $800,, this amp is made in China and sells for $299.. but you are right the 50th JVM1 would chug better,,, just costs way more and you can't buy them anymore unless you find a used one.. so.....
