Great demo! I’m wondering if I would need this since my fractal fm3 can emulate it good enough. However would I have a nicer sustain & feel while playing through this as opposed to processor? Your thoughts pls.
According to the manual, there is a WARNING: When using the DSL1HR head for ‘silent’ practice or DI recording ALWAYS disconnect the speaker cabinet from the amplifier’s rear panel before switching on. NEVER unplug the speaker cable from the speaker cabinet while it is still connected to the amplifier rear panel. This may stress the amplifier’s power-stage and in extreme cases may lead to valve and/or transformer failure.
@@enielsenvideos It says that Do not unplug the speaker cable while you are using the amp! If you want to use the emulated out, always switch off, then unplug the cable, make connection from the emulated out, and switch on. I always did it, but..... sound from the emulated out was very disappointing. Now I'm using DSL5CR with Isolation Cabinet - Celestion Alnico Blue!!!
@@enielsenvideos it is because there is a dummy load built into the amp which is engaged when there is no cable plugged into the 16 ohm cab output. If you leave cable plugged into this output on the head and instead unplug cable from the extension cabinet end, then the dummy load will not engage and you will likely damage the amplifier for lack of load. Also you will not get a good emulated out signal while a cabinet is connected, you need to disconnect to get full signal out of the emulated out.
@@bluesbear71 is it worth getting a jhs volume pedal with this. It goes down to 0.1 watt but if cranked at that volume, can still get too loud for apartment use. Would jhs help with that?
@@allboutthemojo Hi, I'm using DSL5C now. But why do you want to crank it up? The biggest advantage of this amp is that it sounds great even at low volume. In DSL5C, I can select 1W and 5W, and I usually enjoy 5W.
@@bluesbear71 all forums and groups always say that these Marshall tube amps don't sound great until they are cranked up very high. So I wondered how people do that at home because it can get extremely loud. People are saying to turn up the amp volume high and then put a volume pedal like jhs little black box in the effects loop to turn it down. I have not tried it
Can you use this connected to a 4x12 in a 3-piece band rehearsal?
It's just 1 watt, but maybe possible if you have PA system.
No get a 20 watter

Also I have Fractal AX8 and it is very convenient, but I prefer the analog sound. Thank you.
Sounds Awesome. What did you use for the dummy load?
Todd Whitmer a custom-made dummy load, made by Korean engineer. Thank you.
I want to use my Emulated out to record. Do I leave the speaker plugged in the amp or will it run with Emulated out only?

@@bluesbear71 I read that. Still not sure. It says disconnect the speaker first then it says never unplug the speaker..i am confused

My friend, at 3:38, you did something behind de amp, and the sound change for better,the trebles come show, what you did?
Leandro Vivian Maybe turning on TS808 boosting and then, you can see that I turned down gain level. Thanks.
Is the amp loud enough
No. just for room practice.
Sound like Kirk Hammett licks
Thanks man, that's Softtube's direct out? or speaker out -> DI box ???
Lev Gtz speaker out - pdi09 input - simul out to Audio-interface & pdi09 thru to dummy load
@@bluesbear71 I see, have to hear with headphones, but great first impression, very usable. Cheers!
Lev Gtz thanx. I don't recommend DSL1HR's Emulated-out, cause it sounds very muddy.....
You don't use cabinet
I live in apartment, so I am always afraid of bothering neighbors...... Thanks.
