@@andrewclemons8619 If you hold your thumb at arm length, you basically focus on a spot the size of your thumbnail. I know you see a lot more, but that's all that's in your focus.
Regardless of what people say this is now one of the best selling combos in its price range. It is fizzy but a speaker change takes the fiz away. For the price it's a good amp and very well made.
Played one of the limited edition models of this today, super good amp but I can't even fathom how loud it'd be on 10. I accidentally pushed the volume on the ultra gain setting up thinking it was the treble knob and I almost had a heart attack!
Great little amp! I have the Cream Back speaker in mine, and it makes a great difference! The clean channel takes my pedal board really well! No complaints on this amp, Ive owned Mesa Boogies, several fender amps, and this amp has a sound of its own!
that boy always makes me smile , he plays like him and he uses what sounds good to him he slogs along working hard smiling and being nice we need more like Joe and less like well whoever .. keep it going Joe i will see you live 1 day
I owned one of these for about 2 months. I changed the speaker to a Celestion V30, not because the stock speaker was terrible but because if you’re trying to play all out Metal (which in fairness isn’t how your supposed to use the amp) then the distortion can sound fizzy at extreme levels. It is seriously one of the best sounding amps I’ve ever owned, that and a Fender Supersonic 60watt 212 combo. I’m bummed I sold it, I needed money. I’ll definitely buy another one down the road. I have the DSL 1 watt head and it sounds great too. These Marshall DSL amps are really great. Don’t know how he could sit that close to it with everything on 10 though. He must be partially deaf from years of gigging just like my drummer uncle.
@@mr.h5788The DSL40CR (new gen ones) comes stock with a Celestion V-Type which is a MASSIVE improvement over the god awful 70/80s they used to put in these. Still run mine through a 2x12 loaded with 65 creambacks when I’m able to though
Just one thing, that final sound when he dimes everything on 10 is with the scooped mids button engaged. So it's not quite the midrange Marshall signature sound that you expect to hear on this amp. I have one of these and I love the amp, lots of different textures and classic marshall sounds!
Owned the dsl2000 and yes, I loved that amp. Did have some heating issues and other stuff but I do love that clean channel. The overdrive channel was nice for punk and Indy rock, classic rock at its highest setting.
Got this amp about a month ago, been jamming with it since. Great sound from an affordable amp. My budget for gear isn't too big, but getting a great all tube Marshall for under $600 is badass. This video is very true to how this thing jams.
Also, I played this back to back at Guitar Center with a Peavey Valveking II, the Peavey didn't stand a chance. This amp was way more superior for the price range.
I am a beginner trying to learn and bought myself a Marshall MG 100HFX and love it.Just cant wait til I learn how to play the guitar so that I can crank it up..Marshall amps rock..
DAMN. I have this amp & if I turned the gain & volume up to 10 it'd blow the windows out of our living room AND the neighbors would call the cops. I put a Dr. Z air brake lite attenuator on mine and the amp much more useable in a "home" situation now.
Yep, the DSL2000 is a highly underrated amp IMO. You don't need any pedals for a great blues-rock lead tone IMO. I just run it through a good attenuator, use the lead 1 channel, and crank the gain to 9 or 10 and volume to 7 1/2.
Go read the reviews on this combo anywhere on line and you'll know for yourself that this is one solid great sounding amp ' don't listen to the tone deaf trolls on here that think they know more than the thousands of reviewers that has given this amp 4 and 5 star rating.
steve scarberry it's all about preference bot wheather its bad or good. I have seen just many bad reviews on this amp as good ones this amps just any not have the tone a person is looking for. I find it fizzy and has too much gain . I'm not saying it's bad but it's just not to my taste or preference. if your ear does not like it then it doesn't like it. you need to play an amp for yourself and should never buy something because it got great reviews on the internet. or because 200 tom dick and Harry's ordered it from sweet water and posted great reviews on their website. I know many poeple who ordered gear because of good reviews only to find out if wasn't the sound they expected or was looking for. only you can decide if something sounds to you. a million star reviews mean nothing untill you try it for yourself. I bought an ocd pedal because of all the great reviews and ended up trading for a boss od3 because to my ears the odd sounded terrible it's not because I'm tone deaf it's because I know what I want to hear and I i don't hear it something gets changed. I prefer fender and traynor amps with pedals in front be because I don't like the sound of modern marshall does that make me tone deaf . foe me dsl has too much gain to much fizz and I don't like the cleans that much . fenders and traynor give me the sound i want not liking a dsl does not make a person tone deaf. why do poeple get so butt hurt when Someone dislikes something they like
steve scarberry reading reviews will not tell how an amp sounds. you can't hear a written review . you won't know wheather an amp sounds good to you untill you try it for yourself .. music and gear is such s personal thing. and everyone has that tone in their head they want to achieve and for some poeple s dsl does not give them the tone they hear in their head. never buy gear based solely on s bunch of good online reviews. many reviews are written by very green people who never owned a tube amp before. when poeple say this is the best amp I have ever heard it's usually because they have not tried very many different types.
I bought one of these online on a whim, and must say I'm pretty impressed. One downside is its kinda hard to carry around, so I use a trolley to save myself the trouble. Though the reverb is great, clean channel is beautiful and can go into hard rock territory, and there's some okay sounding metal tones in there too if that's your thing, picture early Metallica.
Several factors. Yes the main amp I use is a 5W Blackstar HT5, valve is usually louder or seems so, but the BIG factor is speaker efficiency! The more efficient, the more dB per watt it can put out. The speaker(s) I use have a 98dB @ 1W efficiency, so are pretty loud! So @ 5 W you're looking at about 102-3 dB!
I just bought this amp. I found it to be fizzy and harsh, so I replaced cap C19 with a 68pF (replacing the 470pF stock value) and replaced the speaker with an Eminence GB128 (greenback clone). Holy cats, do I love it now. Green channel (clean/crunch) transitions nicely to Red channel (hi gain) for blues & rock. If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks for mods, this is a great gigging amp. And loud as heck, if you want loud.
Speaker efficiency is a major reason why SS amps are thought to be much quieter than tube amps. Also, the wattage rating of a tube amp refers to the peak while running clean. The amp actually produces more when being pushed into overdrive. Though the volume doesn't really increase once being overdriven due to the fact that the signal is being clipped. A 100 watt amp being driven hard is probably producing 150 watts or so. This is why you wouldn't want to only use 100 watts worth of speakers
I got 5W one and it's blasting even in a 1W switch when I crank it up on 10. I'm pretty sure my neighbours would want me kicked out of the building if I would do that on 5W mode.
This is a 40 watt all-tub amp. It has a switch to cut the power to 20 watts if needed, which is a great feature on this amp. If you look closely, Joe has the reverb all the way off and the Presence and Resonance knobs turned way down. So that may explain some of the sound quality (or lack thereof). And look at where he's playing. They probably set up an impromptu demonstration in a setting not designed to get the full benefit of the amp's sound and tone. I own this amp and it's a great buy for the money. Lastly, I saw Joe Bonamassa live in concert. He is a GREAT guitarist and very dedicated to the blues genre. But to each his own.
"In the heat of battle... Everything works great on 10... My recommended settings: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, aand 10." 2:59 & 3:19 pure gold
I've owned this amp for about 2 years now. I really like it, but I was kinda on the fence at first. After a tube swap with some old military NOS pre-tubes and some JJ power tubes, V30 speaker, and some other small mods, I can easily dial in most any sound I like. I do like the reverb and clean channel. Put a little into it and you'll get a lot out of it.
I don'town the amp personally but I've read elsewhere that a lot of people feel the same way. They said that if you change the speaker it will sound way better because the celestion seventy80 (I think its called) is known for harsh highs and weak lows. I would love to get this amp and put something like an Eminence GB128 because I love the simple controls and it switches between 40 and 20 watts, but you never really know until you try it :)
Even knocking it down to 50 watts isn't going to drop your volume a lot, especially perceptually. A 10 watt amp is half as loud as a 100 watt. I use a Weber MASS 150 attenuator. I can run the attenuator at about 4 out of 10, with the amp settings I listed before, without pissing any of the neighbors off. It still certainly fills the entire house. I can set the attenuator at about 2 without real significant tone loss. I supplement it with my tube screamer if I need to keep it real quiet.
I think it's funny how people are bashing Bonamassa by the way he dresses and plays. My immediate thought is He's a #1 Billboard artist what have you accomplished? In my opinion the amp sounded great i have played a few dsl's they're amazing.
JMoney14dawg They are the same idiots who buy a 100w Marshall half-stack, and then bitch that it is "Too Loud" to use in their bedrooms --- Geniuses. I tell you...
joe is great that amp is not. you don't need to be an accomplished musician to know if an amp does not sound right for you. and its stupid to fell a person they are wrong for not liking the tone of an amp. you don't need to be a professional guitarist to have an ear for tone. as many producers will tell you many pros struggle to identify when their guitar is out of tune. joe knows tone buy many pros do not. not everyone has to like joe either. maybe his music is not to everyone's taste. just because a person is not a pro does not mean they have no right to there preferences. the what have you accomplished statement is short sighted and irrelevant . you are basically saying joe is famous so you have to like him and your not a pro so you are not qualified to say you don't like his music .
Yes, they CAN be deceptive! I tried my old Bugera V5 thru a quad box, and it was loud ! More speakers means more air being pushed over a greater surface area! Of course its going to be louder! LOL! I used to run it thru my 1X12 Lorantz cabinet and that speaker has a 98dB efficiency, it was LOUD, enough... I use my HT5 & that's loud. Not SUPER loud, but enough!
Should i get the dsl 40c or keep the jcm 2000 dsl 401 im afraid the 401 will over heat i just got the 401 and it this from 1999 when they had overheating problems it runs hot i dont want a lemon or a money pit so im looking at the dsl40c hoping its not a dud or lemon
technically all amps are put out more more than what there rated this may sound confusing but the 100 watt rating is the highest possible wattage before breakup, it really all has to do with headroom, a 5 watt amp clean channel will go into breakup muc h earlier than a 100 watt but in the end the volume spl will be about 5 db difference ran through the same speakers
So which year of this amp has the creamback? Just wondering cause I just picked up this amp yesterday & already hearing a lot of people switching out the stock speaker for a V30
Please go to see the 12 year old Dustin Tomsen playing and sing Joe Bonamassa's song Blue and Evil. Included guitar solo. He reminds me a lot of the young Bonamassa

Everything works great on 10....oh yeah!
Regardless of what people say this is now one of the best selling combos in its price range. It is fizzy but a speaker change takes the fiz away. For the price it's a good amp and very well made.
Best demo--EVER. Now an even bigger fan of Bonamassa.
Joe and Marshall true blues legends
Its a tube Marshall, sounds good.

LITTTLLLEE???
I have had mine for years and I love it. Awesome amp for the stuff I play.
I didnt know what to think about Joe when he first appeared on the scene, but I think hes a really cool dude.. and genuine!
"Everything on 10!"
That should be the new guitarists' mantra.
Isn’t Joe is amazing in his presentation

Wow $600? Man yeah now it’s like $900 or so 😭😭. Still going to get it though
$1049 and counting...
Fun to watch.. it's cool to listen to Joe Bonamassa regardless of the amp!
Best demo/review Marshall could ever had
you master the amp ... great demo !
Joe is such a trip... Love it !! Dime it out!!
The sunburst on that 335 though........ GORGEOUS
I just bought one of these and I love it!
Me too
everything on 10!!!
That was awesome!
Joe is a Genius for Sure
Amazing player !!!!!!
Nice Nice Nice!!! I like to hear this kind of sound
Joe is such a nice dude. I would love to play guitar with him
" distortion scares me " and then he dimes the amp. That's class
Interesting upload Joe,super demo,enjoyed;)
I love my DSL 40. I use a pair of Hughes and kettner TM112's with it and get my amp driving three speakers.
I am a beginner trying to learn and bought myself a Marshall MG 100HFX and love it.Just cant wait til I learn how to play the guitar so that I can crank it up..Marshall amps rock..
So, 8 years later how's the guitar playing now?
10 is the sweet spot for sure guitar 🎸 🤙🏼
Just bought this amp because of you Joe
All settings on 10...love it
Love him and I love his smile 😘🥰
Cool vid, and the stairs behind him are awesome - shaped in the form of piano keys.
DAMN. I have this amp & if I turned the gain & volume up to 10 it'd blow the windows out of our living room AND the neighbors would call the cops. I put a Dr. Z air brake lite attenuator on mine and the amp much more useable in a "home" situation now.
it's a versatile amp ? i mean every music even metal?
alpha omega With the attenuator on it like I did, it's a very versatile amp. Beautiful cleans and growling gain. Superb amp.
I'm sure he had it in the 25 watt mode
i wanna buy this one but i m really scary about it, i haven't got a nice neighbors
I have been contemplating the attenuator route, but a lot of people say don't do it. And how do you think this amp would do on a boss gt 100?
Thanks Joe!
For a demo, that's some amazing playing.

Sounds like a great portable kick ass Marshall. The greatest valve amps ever.
Bright, sharp sounding amp.
It does sound really good on everything full fuckin' blast.
I bought mine yesterday. I'm impressed how loud and clear it is. Overdrive sounds amazing with EMG 81'S. I approve.
I got 5W one and it's blasting even in a 1W switch when I crank it up on 10. I'm pretty sure my neighbours would want me kicked out of the building if I would do that on 5W mode.
The 10 over the dials is how EVH had his rigs on amps in the old days. Just run his hand over dials full blast 👌 RIP EVH
Such an amazing blues guitarist. Really digging his style
My jaw dropped on 10!

Question: would this amp sound the same as the dsl20c if I send it through a 4x12 cab? Bypass the 1x12 speaker.
bro when i pit my dsl volume on 7 i can actually smell the tubes burning im not sure if thsts a good idea
Cooool demo! Badass player!!!

Excellent joe
I fucking love Joe. His the shit.
