- So many questions from you all about dialling in metal tones with this amp. Hope this helps. Sorry for the clipping in some parts as I had to alter the volume in a live recording that I couldn't change afterwards.
Thanks for tuning in again, feel free to email me with any questions at Lambchopper678@me.com Subscribe to the channel and follow on me Facebook www.facebook.c...
Marshall should pay you. I've ordered a DSL20HR. Due to all your videos with it. And because we love the same musics too. Thanks guy. You've got one of the most valuable youtube channels.
Same
Same. My order arrived today. I FXed the amp with a Mooer Radar Cab Sim. Now It sounds amazing without any overdrive or external EQ Pedal. I'm excited to plug into Real 4x12
I can fourth that, done the same myself.
Same here man. Just got my DSL20 and a mesa cab. Loving how it works with the 10 band EQ. Thank you so much!
I just bought one thanks to his videos as well and it sounds fucking great
Fantastic tones. I wish the metal bands from today, even the ones that have been around for a while, were doing what you did in this video. Simple, straight to the point, aggressive metal tones.
Seems it's all about fart tones today.
That scooped setting you dialed in made the amp sound absolutely brutal!
some of the best tones ive heard from a marshall
Playing Metallica on a Mustaine guitar
That's actually highly appropriate if you think about it.
@@pip5528 especially if it was something from ride the lightning.
It’s not true.... the first to use the king V Gibson was James in early 80’s..... than he change her choise
@@banditfighter3295 Yea but the Flying V he was using is called an Angel of Death that was made for Dave and uses frequently. It's one of his most signature guitars.
Sam Wittsell
Man... just let it go... the guy was in the band 8 months in the early eighties... geez... how long are you going to milk that cow?...
BTW he gets paid for his writing credits in Metallica so it’s not like they stole his riffs, which are just that - RIFFS!! It’s not like he wrote the entire Metallica catalogue by himself...
I’m actually waiting for some lunatic to say there are Mustaine riffs on Hardwired...
I just purchased this DSL20 amp head, 4x12 Marshall cab and a gibson les paul tribute this week. The amp sounds amazing but with your EQ settings, it sounds perfect now. Thank you! great playing by the way. I stopped playing at 25 years old, 10 years later, a year into covid, hear i sit re-learning. :)
I have the DSL20H running into a Bugera - PS1 Power Attenuator then into 2x12 Marshall cab, check out attenuator's if you haven't already. It's a way of cranking your amp to get the awesome tube sound without having the volume to loud.
Best purchase I ever made apart from the DSL20.
That EQ boost was fantastic it really makes a huge difference to my ear. Thanks for sharing.
So cool to hear a review with all my fav childhood riffs🔥
Was searching for a DSL video to kill my gas. Found this one. 100% satisfied. Dude modeller or amp you always got a super cool tone.
I 100% getting this amp because of your video!
You and your Metallica covers are definitely the or some of the best out there.
Just got my first Marshall, a DSL5CR, perfect timing
I got my DSL5CR two years ago and I absolutely love it, I use it with a Boss SD-1 and I'm getting really brutal rhythm tones. For the leads I have the Boss DM-2w as a delay and it's all I need really, it's a great home rig.
Alexandru Scarlat I had a Blackstar HT-20 Studio before this and was never fully satisfied. But yea I love my Marshall too. It’s the essential classic imo.
@@Supakuri yea it truly is a classic, but I love that the DSL5 also does modern tones amazingly with a nice OD pedal in front of the amp
I have this amp too and love it, can't even think of modeling now
Me too, right now. This video Will help me a lot. At the Moment, awesome amp.
Sorry For bad english, i'm italian 😂
This video along with zakk wyle saying you cant go wrong with a marshall tube amp is what convinced me to buy my dsl20hr over the peavey 6505 mini
Your loss
@@VicSellsPeace i played a 6505 afterward and am happy w my decision
Definitely a good call but I should still get the 6505 mh. I remember reading that alot of bands would combine a dsl and 5150 for recording
I love diving in your old videos, thanks for sharing all that knowledge !
I love my DSL 100. I have played Mesa's and Peavy's but TBH nothing beats a Marshall with an overdrive pedal in the front and an EQ pedal in the loop. You can literally get any sound you want out of that thing.
Tasty amp
💯👍@@Nickk81
Thanks to this man, i now have a Marshall DSL 40CR, a MXR 6band eq, a noise gate and a ibanez tubescreamer
And definitely a noise gate like you said. I bought the dsl combo based upon this video. I love it with those pedals mentioned.
Had exactly same idea when I tried the tone shift. Shifts the tone right out of the amp.
Try cranking the bass all the way and then cutting 100hz as needed with the eq pedal. It will drive amp harder (you probably already know this)
A year after you made this and your still selling this amp for Marshall… just got one after watching a few of your videos of this amp. Got it in a couple days ago and couldn’t be more happier. Probably one of the most versatile amps I’ve ever played, I play everything from blues, classic rock and all kinds of metal and this amp does it magnificently for what I do. I had a 150 watt solid state Randall and this blows it out of the water. Just a big thank you for the hard work you do putting videos out like these.👍🏻
Man you said it , I've never had a single solid state amp that could even attempt to hang with classic tube powered marshalls and mesa's , except maybe an old 120watt solid state Crate that I had back in the late 90's, it did a fair job of reproducing those classic Metallica style tones but still even it fell a good bit short in comparison to the sounds achievable by classic tube amps. Hope you enjoy your new amp, I'm hoping to grab one of these dsl20hr's myself in the next couple months if everything works out well in the end.
That Marshall is super beefy even without a boost. Maybe not Mesa tight, but I'm a Marshall kid at heart so I love these tones
Edit: just saying, the tone at 1:29 is one of my FAVORITE sounds ever. I never knew I needed that sound until now, it like Alice in Chains x Megadeth. It's so thick. I love it
Yeah, I'm honestly impressed. Way beefier than a JCM 800, but this is a high gain amp we're talking about. I still think the EVH 5150 III EL34 is beefier than the DSL range in terms of EL34 tone but JCM 800s can get modern style tones with enough boost as Louis Torres has demonstrated in his comparison between a Dual Rectifier and JCM 800 2204.
I love that one too
AHH that unmistakeable Marshall tone. My DSL is on its way having sold my Blackstar. The Marshalls just feel great and more rewarding to play especially when the valves get nice n hot!
I sold my blackstar ht40 and got the dsl40cr and its way better. The blackstar is a great amp but it was missing something.
@@gregm90 really? I did the exact same thing haha. it's very different the Marshall, I haven't had time to fiddle with the settings yet and dial in a great time. but it looks great
Great demo. I'm using mine with a Marshall 2x12 at mo, my 4x12 25 watt greenback is a little large for my apartment.
The gain on this beast is awesome and loud. I also use a Keeley modded Boss sd1 overdrive. When he first started up you could send your pedal in and he'd mod that.
I think that today they only mod their own new pedals, not sure. The pedal just provides a smoothness to the tone. No need for external distortion, this amp has it in spades. 🤘❤️👍
YOUR tone settings are the best on here I feel, everyone should set their amps to THEIR own ears firstly, then, depending on how the sound is effected when used for band practice, gigging or recording where adjustments need to be made due to how the sound reacts (deep stuff I know, but my ears used to tell me instantly when my old BEDROOM tone didn't work in reality. Great video and playing, keep up the good work.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm getting my DSL100HR tomorrow. Those Dean VMNT's are great guitars. I have two. Thanks.
Man, your channel is absolute gold. Appreciate the content! I think you've convinced me to get my hands on a DSL :)
Love this video! Would you be able to do another video like this but with the EVH? Right now I’m working with an EVH 5150, so I would love to hear your settings for that amp! Thank you!!
Yes same tutorial in 5150 iii please.
I finally got this Amp and I did because of you, I also bought EQ pedals because of you. I owe all my TONE to you, Thank You!🤘🤘
I don’t like the tone shift... love that. You seem so down to earth and I love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
You squeeze your amp 'till it comes to amazing tones! Great video and great channel too. Thanks.
The DSL is a great amp. You can play a shit ton of stuff on it! I would recommend to take a look on the Ceres preamp. Solid state pedal preamp but honestly the best preamp pedal in the market!
That Dean V looks really nice!
The idea of wings on a FLYING V is just phenomenal 😂👌🏻
I actually just bought my second Marshall DSL 100 head. The first one I had was a first generation. This second one I just bought is the newer DSL 100HR. I love them! I used to have a Marshall TSL 100 too & that’s still my favorite amp to this day! I hate I sold it...
I've been trying to make my dsl20 sound good for two years. Got a boss ds1 in front and a mxr 10 band in the loop. First cab I bought for it was a Harley Benton 2x12 horizontal with V30s. Sounds ok. Then got a Marshall mx2x12ar vertical cab. Not any better.
Finally unhooked my mesa 2x12 from my single rectifier and hooked the dsl up to it.
Viola!!! Its ripping now. The mesa cab is far superior. It's like a whole new amp. Don't even need pedal to make it sound good.
I would highly recommend to anyone to save or invest for a higher quality speaker cabinet.
This man needs a signature amp
Just d you discovered how cool the DSL20 is. I just bought my first DSL100HR, $270 off so I grabbed it. Could be very happy with this 20, same tone but better for jamming at home I’d bet.
Man!!! I'm new in your Chanel... Congrats for this. The tones of this Amp it's absolutely amazing! 🔝🤘🏻👌🏻
“I dont like the tone shift”
The only way I've been able to use it is for cleans, but it's not footswitchable so what's the point?
As you know Marshalls are built to last. I had a Marshall combi amp. Which had two split channels. It was a 50 watt amp with stereo chorus built in.
I love your channel! I'm a beginner guitarist and I used his videos a lot to learn music.
I have a Marshall DSL40CR combo amp and I love it. My only complaints are the lack of independent EQ for each channel and there is a slight delay when switching from Channel 2 Green to Channel 2 Red. Other than that it's a really killer amp and thanks for your videos...I really enjoy them man!
It is a killer amp, but I find it to be darker with the same settings as hes using....
In fact it's quite a lot darker
@@jarrusjenkins If you’re running the mx412 cab you’re likely going to be getting a different result, as I believe he’s running vintage 30 speakers
@@sleepdeep305 the DSL40 is a combo only in this generation of DSL. Its a 1x12 with a celestion vtype from the factory
@@jarrusjenkins I've tried this amp with different speakers for a couple of months each. I've tried V-Type obviously, V30, G12T-75. Out of the 3 I actually prefer the G12. I've noticed with the V-type and V30 because their wattage isn't very high...I think around 60 watts you get a lot of speaker break up. I prefer to get most of the distortion from the amp with little coloring from the speaker. The G12 is 75 watts, so it's a bit cleaner sounding even at high volumes. 40CR is a great amp all around honestly. What's interesting is I also prefer the Tone shift. When compared to the head he's using, the 40CR actually sounds kinda honky with a lot of mids but the tone shift gets rid of that entirely. When tone shift is out it reminds me of like High n dry def leppard. With tone shift in it's more metal imo. The tone shift out/in really sounds completely different from the head he's using but youtube compression should be taken into consideration.
Awesome video!!! Those tones sounds are what I’m looking for!!!
super demonstration, love these tones, helped me dial in my DSL
My God... I always saw your videos, but I wasn't subscribed... Now I am.
Great tones, great playing, great amp, great review. Top work, mate.
Great playing, man. And hell, I've been trying figure out that part in Five Magics forever!
It is a good and cheap alternative to be able to play like a metallica sound, a mesa boogie is very expensive in my country. thank you again. your videos are awesome
Yes it is absolutely a good alternative, mesa boogie is very expensive just about everywhere :(
I have the full size. Never played it through a V30 speaker. Sounds crunchy! Well done!
Great tones!
I bought the combo versión and for recording the gain and distorsion is enough at a high volume. Sometimes i have used a TS9 for boosting the dirty channel or in the clean channel a ds1 mod or a ds1x solos although is the amp with the ts9. Im using too a MXR 10 band Eq in the Loop together with 2 delays...! Is insane with ts9 and a wah!!
Your content is outstanding and I love the whole series on the DSL20. Enough that I bought one! Not being anything who can leave anything alone/stock, I switched the el34 power tubes for a pair of JJ kt77s as well as putting a Tung Sol 12ax7 in the V1 position and holy #@!$...
I really liked the stock sound but this mod puts it in another league. The 77s almost split the difference between el34s and 6l6s. It still has that sweet sweet Marshall midrange but with a slightly bigger bottom end and a slightly tamed and much sweeter top end. The top is definitely less ice picky. The Tung Sol in V1 seems to mediate some of the fizziness that this amp has (especially when you get into the upper end of the presence knob)
The only downside is the bottom is a bit looser so you have to hit it with a boost to tighten it up. When you do though, it absolutely slays 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Well worth the $100 in tubes.
This guy is really good
Great content mate, I purchased a jcm 800 reissue last month. First ever tube Marshall I’ve owned. Got to throw the tube screamer up the front though to get a decent chug.
Your playing is great, super cool axes
Keep up the good work. All the way from Victoria 🤘🏻
Do you like the jcm800 better or this ?
@@EM-km8em I like the DSL more, but not by much, JCM 800 has that classic metal thrash tone you can’t go wrong with 🤘🏻
Really cool video content - Great playing and awesome tones! Love your videos man.
You nailed Metallica! Perfect
This so cool amp! A`m have too! ` couse this Marshall. tis classic and I love this sound! Bro, thanks for this video!
Thanks for the settings, dude! Great playing too!
bought the dsl20 because of this
Great video and explanations also thanks for the wicked riffs
Keep going with these sort of videos
Appreciated 🤘🎸
what about matching the sound of album Spiritual Healing by Death ... or their album Symbolic ?
what a great demo, love it
thx man. awesome video! cheers from Brazil.
8:44 When reading descriptions of the amp, they list channel one as the "Plexi" channel and channel 2 as the "JCM 800" channel. That would explain why channel one doesn't sound like an 800.
Neither channel sounds like a plexi or 800 whatever they advertise. The DSL has its own sound. It does sound like my old JCM2000 DSL. It had the same clean channel roughly (I liked the JCM clean when pushed did get into 800 range. But channel 2 was really good. It had a boost feature which was pretty high gain but lost punch and clarity.
This DSL seems to bridge the gap where it gets really saturated but keeps the crunch of the basic JCM red channel.
I like this model the best so far
@@LambChopper678 I've been doing a lot of listening and the DSL 20 and 40 both can sound a lot like an 800.
It's not perfect due to the DSL having a more modern voicing but everything else sounds just like it.
Channel 1 is in the ballpark of the plexi just from what I've heard but not as close to the desired voice as the Utlra Gain is.
There are plenty of shootouts between the DSL and 800 and they really do sound pretty close, but the DSL has a more modern voicing which I kind of like over the JCM.
Thank you for this video man! Great insight!
Loving the videos recently keep it up - thanks
buying a DSL1 tomorrow!!!! so keen
Solid tones
I think I prefer the eq boost compared to the od boost, great vid btw and tight playing.
Cool guitar with amazing chops.
Good sound & playing
I cant like videos like this enough. I just got myself a DSL40CR and I know that its more AMP than a noob like me can handle but videos like this help a lot. Atm Im trying to get the Kill'em all tone out of it which I assume should be easy but I am struggling a little bit.
I’ve done loads of tone chasing videos with the DSL, kill em all is one of them
@@LambChopper678 I thought I had gone through all your video's. I ,ust have missed it. I'll go take another look. Thanks mate :)
@@LambChopper678 I curious what cabinet/speak youd recommend to pair with the DSL20? Ive had the DSL40 for about a week now and I gotta be honest, I bit off a lot more than I can chew as far as practicality is concerned. SO Im thinking about taking it back and swapping it for the DSL20 head but have zero clue what to pair it with.
I think the amp's distortion sounds better than the Zakk Wylde pedal. The original DSL50 is on my wish list.
Sounds pretty good.
Great review mate! Thank you!
great tones and playing!
I haven't subscribed to a channel in a long time, I just subscribed to you cheers!
Well thanks mate, welcome
@@LambChopper678 I was cleaning my basement and I found my old Marshall amp and my Ibanez guitar I also have a Fender Stratocaster, Mxr distortion pedals and a Boss I gave it up when my girls were born now I'm practicing again so I looked for tutorials and I guess that's why I have your channel recommended I like your content Im checking all your material I wish you the best
I have the dsl 40 cr and the Wylde overdrive... don’t think I need anything more. 🤘🏻
crikey, nice playing brotha, sounds good
Thanks, sounds great on my JVM 205H too
Awesome!!! Thank you for the video!!!
Hey, I have DSL 15W head, using settings presence 4, bass 6, middle 6, treble 7 , gain 4, but I use also boss DS1 in the front with classic settings volume all the way up, tone at 10 o'clock, and gain to taste, usually a little bit like 8 o'clock, sound killer
"lets try the tone shift, I dont like the tone shift" hahahahaha gold! love this guy
Such sick tones
Cool video, thank you. I’m amp shopping and leaning heavy on the marshall side. I like mesa a lot too but I’m leaning Marshall. I’m no pro and just want a great sounding amp. The price of the dsl is impossible to overlook. Sounds killer. Thanks for putting these videos out, it helps and we appreciate you.
I like this better than my MkV, it’s a great amp mate. It takes pedals really well and the fx loop is really clean. One of my all time favorites
@@LambChopper678
Thanks for the reply. Whats a good cab to pair with it? They have a good deal with a Marshall 2x12 with seventy 80 speakers. I’m not familiar with those speakers though, I imagine they would be fine.
@@gcr28 They’re fine for practice at home at lower volumes. They’re the cheapest celestion speakers on the market.
Depends on your budget but I’d be getting a 1936 2x12 cab with G12t’s
It’s just a great sounding cabinet that you’ll never worry about replacing or upgrading.
@@LambChopper678
Thank you for the advice. That adds about 600 bucks but not unreasonable. You know what they say, buy once cry once!
@@LambChopper678
I just got my dsl20 today. So far it’s a great amp I’m liking it alot. I bought the mx212 cab to stay within budget. It’s not too bad, the 70/80’s sound a bit dark to my ears. I’m going to replace them with the g12t 75 and maybe a combo of that and a vintage 30, maybe. Anyway, thanks for your help. Great amp.
I’m going to guess that these tones will translate well to the 100 Watt head right???
great video. I like the sound.
hey you got those tones also you play very well the guitar, thanksfor the video
At high volumes this amp really shines, the low-volume fizz completely disappears. A tungsol in V1 also does wonders, as does an EQ in the loop. Tidies it up heaps.
I was thinking about re-tubing a DSL 15 combo. any suggestions? (i run it into a 4x12 super lead cab from the 80s)
Hi Mike - i experimented with a tonne of tubes in my DSL20 before i sold it it. I now have the DSL100. Best combo for me was Ruby power tubes (outlasted the TAD’s that marshall use from the factory) and in the preamp gotta have the Tungsol in V1 (for heavy distortion) and a Sovtek LPS in the phase inverter. In the middle it doesnt really matter - Genelex Gold Lions are probably my favourite all purpose 12ax7. Have the fullest tonal body, especially for cleans. If soft rock is your thing, maybe try a JJ 12AT7 in V1... really tidies up the fizz in the distortion at low volumes, but sounds a bit more Plexi like. Hope that helps 👍
Forgive my manners, I appreciate the advice and the timely replay. Be safe and stay healthy!
No mids, all the gain.
Tom Cruise in bear.....great review brother
Dean Angel of Death the scariest Guitar in my "guitarcarrier"
Wait till they get a bc rich or something like that
Ever heard of the ESP LTD Tom Araya bass that's the most intimating Bass I've seen in my local guitar center also any Kerry King guitar is also very intimating
Just got it today thanks to you. I plugged it in and maxed the volume in everything to see how loud it would get, at night😬, dayum does it get loud
Amazing tone.
Big help Bro!! Many thanks
Seems to me like it needs a tube screamer with the scoop setting :)
Same honestly.
It does. I put a Boss SD-1W in front of my DSL100H. Make all the difference. It really wakes this amp up.
check out a green rhino pedal. you can boost n scoop at 500htz
Either that or a high gain amp with the tonestack coming first on the signal chain, then the preamp. Like a mesa boogie mark series or the peavey triumph.
I have an 808 and sd1 that I use, those pedals in front are an AMAZING difference
thanks man! awesome stuff
you are very good and it sounds cool
Great video
Marshall should be paying you for these.....
Killer metal tones man !
Hi, what pedal would be best suited to this amp for Led Zeppelin tones, someone told me an echo plex, great videos by the way and Happy New year🏴
Awesome video dude! I recently picked up one of these and have been playing around with the eq quite a bit according to my setup.
I am running through an epiphone 1x12 with an eminence speaker and it definitely has some weird fizziness/harshness going on with that speaker. I ran the cab through a friends 2x12 cab with V30s and the thing just opened up and sounded great!
well excellent video as always, so which amp sim do you like the most rn ? or your top 3 ?
