DSL5CR Combo

Product Information

When I first took the amp out and was trying it out I was getting sudden drop outs of my signal, I just pushed all the tubes up as snug as they would go and that seems to have fixed the problem; I blame fedex for that one. Really just a great amp all around. It's nice to have an amp sound this good without blowing your ear drums out. It has a good range of tones, Marshalls have a tendency to sound muddy and bottom heavy but this amp really has plenty of clarity and high end. The high gain channel sounds great, an overdrive pedal really isn't necessary other than a boost. The clean channel takes pedals great but there is definitely a serious dip in volume between the clean and overdrive channels. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned lots of guitar amps, but I always found the amp to be a necessary evil. I had a 35-watt tube amp for a long time, but it was so, so loud. I live in an apartment and couldn't turn it past 1. I had a couple of modeling amps too, and they had a lot of good sounds, but they also had a lot of poor sounds, and I was constantly fiddling with them.

Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The DSL5CR is a 5W 1x10" valve combo with digital reverb; building on the tried-and-tested DSL formula, this compact combo delivers great valve sound at low levels but responds with analogue warmth when pushed! It's loaded with a single 10" Celestion Ten-30 speaker for a smooth, accurate response. You've got two channels at your disposal: classic gain and ultra gain, both of which do exactly what they say on the tin! The classic gain is warm but clear with two controls (gain and volume), and extremely responsive to adjustments, whereas the ultra gain allows you to tip into that full-pelt Marshall distortion that's so widely adored. NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. Perhaps the best quality is with the power scaling, you can go from midnight in the apartment volume to hanging with a loud drummer at practice, particularly if you plug it into a larger cab.

General

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. The reverb is also nice (nothing to write home about but decent) but it needs to be cranked up to get the best out of it. Marshall DSL5CR, "Dual Super Lead" All-Valve 5-Watt Combo Amplifier for Guitar, with Built-in Reverb USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.

I got my first tube amp for home use and I was so happy with it that I wanted to recomend it. (I play it with my Epi Dot with Pearly Gates set, and Squier Mustang. No pedals) For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. This amp isn't perfect, that needs to be made clear. The gain levels between the "Classic Gain" and "Ultra Gain" channel's is ridiculously different in as much as the Classic has almost no gain at all even turned all the way up and the Ultra Gain takes a bit of tweaking to get the gain low enough, though it smooths out considerably when the speaker breaks in. I have been using this amp for a couple of months now and am finally ready to post a review. Wasn't sure what to expect, my only other Marshall was a British-made JCM2000 DSL100. In short, I love this amp. The cleans are excellent and the Ultra Gain channel is a blast to play through. The shared eq isn't an issue in my opinion, Marshall did a great job voicing the eq so it works well for both channels. Yes the reverb is weaker than a Fender, but I don't use much anyway and the market is flooded with reverb pedals if you need more. Speaking of pedals, this amp loves them. I can run my pedalboard through the front with no problems. The Classic Gain channel is surprisingly clean, with more headroom than I expected. The amp is loud at 5 watts, but don't expect to gig with it (without a PA). Low power mode works great for late night practicing, and .5 watts is louder than I expected it to be! The DSL5 Combo is loaded with a 10” Celestion Ten-30 speaker chosen for its ability to deliver exceptional tone at lower volumes.Both channels share a passive three-band EQ, with BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The EQ section also features Tone Shift, which when activated reconfigures the pre-amp mid frequencies making DSL ideal for contemporary metal tones, especially when combined with higher gain settings. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows: Marshall's partnership with Softube® has led to the creation of award-winning plug-ins, as well as exceptional tone in Marshall's CODE digital amps. The same team is responsible for the development of the new emulated output feature, found in the DSL series. Both the headphone out, and line out on the DSL models boast incredibly accurate emulation of the famed 1960 cabinet.

Finally, my favorite feature: the "Low-Power" mode switch. 5 Watts can be very loud so having the option to get this thing to play apartment levels with a simple push of a button is awesome. You can reduce power to 0.5w and use the emulated output making this amp is ideal for those quieter moments. The next generation of the Marshall DSL series amps are laden with Marshall tone, features and functionality for the novice, as well as pros performing on the world's biggest stages. All models include adjustable power settings, which delivers all-valve tone and feel, at any volume, from bedroom to stage. The new technology adjusts power to the valves, instead of just turning off valve stages, allowing the amp to remain articulate and dynamic. The Marshall DSL40CR is part of the DSL Series of amplifiers, all-valve heads and combos that deliver classic Marshall tone and build quality. These amplifiers all boast a Classic and Ultra Gain Channel, giving musicians the option of pristine cleans to aggressive overdrives and anything in-between. Each channel also has a dedicated Master Volume control, perfect for those explosive set-piece solo moments. All the models in the range also provide an emulated output for recording purposes and a power reduction feature.

The digital reverb sounds great, very useable, but not an ambient type, more in a spring range but with just different feel. When I compared the reverbs with the spring one on my 2005 marshall mg15cdr I honestly prefered the digital one. But if you like the ambient stuff then there's always the efects loop. Unlike the previous-generation DSL5C, this new one has reverb (thus the R), which is great if you don't feel like dealing with pedals and improves its portability, and it also has separate gain and master volume for the clean channel, making that channel genuinely useful. The high-gain channel goes from crunchy to metal. It's quite loud at 5 watts but you can switch it to 0.5 watts, which will let you turn the volume up to 5 or more without bothering other people in your household or building.
