I just got it yesterday. It is such a satisfying amp. I play a mix of indie, rock & metal and it does it all. It's so easy to dial in and I can't stop playing my guitar as a result. It's all I do anymore.
I bought the dsl40 a few months ago. The amp blew me away. Best clean tone on a Marshall I’ve ever heard. Plexi to jcm tones are all there too.
How does the 8 ohm out compare to the 16 ohm out ?
I went for the DSL20 combo and with the ad talk about it being only 20W and fitted with a Celestion seventy 80, made it perfect for home playing, don’t believe a word of it if you want to hear gain then you’ll need to soundproof your room.
I have the 40w and love it. So versatile and sounds so good.
I have this DSL20hr and the matching slant cab. I run it thru a Bugera power soak and crank it up on the full 20 watt mode. Huge Marshall sound at low volume. Reverb is pretty weak however, but still sufficient.
And it looks great too. Makes me happy just having it in the room.
For a combo I’d get the Dsl40cr. They’ve been out long enuf to find good deals on them used too.
I have a DSL20CR combo and I'm very happy with it. Just changed the speaker to Celestion G12H 70th anniversary and preamp tubes, the amp just came alive! Mainly using the green channel for edge of breakup clean tone and pedals to get overdrive and distortion. It is a very versatile and budget-friendly amp, loud too!
My settings are in the green channel -> Gain 6 Volume 4 Treble 3 Middle 10 Bass 4 Presence 4 Resonance 1. If you want to crank it to get plexi-style distortion sounds with tight bottom end, turn off the resonance. It just makes the bottom end wobblier and looser.
I just bought a 20 watt head and gonna run it through a Harley Benton cab with a celestion vintage 30
Same gear for me
That is exactly why I want this head. I have a Harley Benton V30 cabinet
How do you like that setup? Doing the same soon.
@@wpxd9581 какие впечатления!?🙂
@@Brkprsn какие впечатления...если уже сделали!?
I have the dsl20, the evh 5150-3 lbxs, and the friedman runt 20. I think the dsl isn't just a good amp for the price, its one of the best sounding 20 watt amps on the market. The price is just a bonus. I keep buying other 20 watt amps and I always end up being disappointed and going back to the dsl20.
Nice, how does the Marshall compare to the Friedman?
@@patdalymusic what I'm noticing about most of the amps like the friedman that use el84s and 6v6s is that they can't really get away from that small amp sound. The friedman sounds really good but it doesn't have nearly as much gain as the marshall and it runs out of headroom fast. It's loud but it's a small amp and it sounds like a small amp. Sort of mid range heavy and box-ey, if that makes sense. It also has a strange effects loop that almost sounds like a parallel loop that as the volume goes up, the mix goes from dry to wet.
The dsl20 has a lot more gain on tap and it never really runs out of headroom but if the volume gets up any further than 8 it does get really compressed. It's more of a modern marshall kind of sound to the friedmans more vintage marshall. It also doesn't have that small amp boxy sound that both the friedman and the evh have. I think moving all of their 20 watt amps to big boy el34 tubes was the best thing that marshall has done in over a decade. It's a small amp that sounds like a big amp.
To summarize, I use the friedman occasionally, I use the marshall every day.
@@countzero5150 It sounds like I need to try the DSL20. I've been really curious about it ever since playing a Strat through the DSL40. It sounded really surprisingly good. It's funny that the Marshall sounds more modern than the Friedman. I think you might be on to something with the tubes. Using larger/higher output power tubes with lower wattage amps seems to be a good combo. My guess is that it helps a lot with the low end punch. Thanks for your thorough response. Sometimes a stranger on the internet is way more helpful than you expect!
@@patdalymusic give it a try next time you're at a shop that has them! They're great amps that in my opinion really hold their own against much more expensive options.
can you get the dsl 20 as quiet as the lbx-s?
I agree John, that tele through that amp sounds great!
ya gotta have the Output tubes cranked . . A good power soak on this amp lets it become useful at home , Nice amp for the $$$
I've heard good things about this amp, as well as the Origin. I'm surprised how little this costs, considering how great everyone says it sounds over the Origin series. I was looking into both of them, as well as the Bugera infinium 22 watt head. Now, I'm leaning towards the Quilter SuperBlock UK 25 watt. For the money and my purposes, it will probably be the best option.
Nice one, as always, John and Zach. I'm interested to see more amplifier reviews in the future.
Thanks Adam, I really liked this one, we're excited to move into amps too. I'll have to check out the Quilter. Thanks for watching!
бугера ви22 -- усилитель с потрясающим чистым звуком...по моему...за основу взят какой-то фендер! и у меня есть этот усилок! и теперь я присматриваюсь к маршаллу ди эс эль 20!
You ain’t playing a Dsl20 in an apartment without being evicted. This is not a bedroom amp. To get the amp to actually open up and fill out the volume is gonna be louder than really practical for a bedroom/couch amp. With an attenuator maybe, but by then it’s not exactly a sub 1000 dollar amp. It’s a great amp but don’t get it twisted 20watts and even halved is plenty enough to piss off your neighbors and anoy the wife. I think people think this as an amp you can gig with and use it at home. Yeah you can gig with it, but I don’t think it’s practical for most for around the house. Sorry I love my DSL20cr but it’s loud enough I can only play it when I got the house to myself. The headphone out sounds terrible in my opinion, but some people swear they use it. However the Dsl20 is one of the few “lunchbox”
Amps that have big bottles in it and that makes a big difference it makes el84 boogies sound like toys side by side for high gain stuff at least. I think it’s the best 20 watt tube amp around for the sound and value especially since I got mine a couple years ago when they were even cheaper. I just disagree that it’s a good “practice “ amp for most it’s way too much volume for around the house.
Awesome . I use mine with an EVH 2x12 and sounds amazing . Thanks
I love the sound. How well does it take distortion pedals? Pedal platform in general?
I picked up a DSL402, a limited edition 2x12 combo for a bargain price earlier this year just £399, or something under $500 of your dollars. It didn't sell as it’s got OEM speakers and a quite heavy but it sounds great!
Wow! Nice deal, that!
@@J.C... I think it might be on again at guitar guitar if you are in the UK
Prices have come way down. This is a good amp and now is less than a Blues Jr., but so is the 40. Go for it. Much more versatile.
I can't say anything about the 20, but I have the 1w head, and it's pretty spectacular
Awesome demo! Thanks!🙏🎸
Love your guitar reviews, glad to see a demo of this head i am contemplating. unfortunately, while it can be very good for a very high gain, i am sadened to find out that it actually lacks the Marshall crunch...it has no a kind of OD mode, but its instantly in Distortion, so even if in lower gain, to me, its more like a lower gain distortion instead of reduced overdrive. Its weird, even MG and Valvestates all have a kind of Marshall crunch, its a must, yet this amp is lacking that
Best do it all amp I have ever owned.
Could this amp support gigs ?
Certainly
Thank you!
John & Zack, sorry been Dormant for a while have not Forgotten you guys just lots going on Health and Family, 1st off Purty Model to do the present With 😻😼🙀 a real looker! But really love the Sounds and all and what speaker 🔊 is in the 12" combo?? And I think it's getting the tone is the Basics, the years of taking Amp with a full 4 12" half stack to a Demo is getting old! But really liking the more smaller Amps JE Lee, and Friedman's Pink Taco are some great sounding Tube Amps that Don't Break your Back or The Bank, looking forward to seeing what comes down the line, GREAT Playing as usual and good Demo, See about Speakers and Next Time, Keep Rocking Boy's 🤘🎸🤠
Celestion Seventy80 speaker (in UK models at least) not the best, but usable. I would prefer a Vintage 30. But I have a couple of no-name speakers in my combo and it sounds great.
How about a Friedman Little Sister head ?
I love a basic amp that you can plug in an rock with !
I've had one for about a year. Its ok. I have a boss ds1 pedal and a mxr 10 band in the fx loop. Not really getting the metal tones I want. I have a Harley Benton v30 horizontal cab, a marshall mx212 vertical and a mesa 2x12 horizontal cab thats best sounding of the three but I use it for my single rectifier head. The Dsl20 is great for classic rock(Skynard, AC/DC ect.) and the clean tones are nice. Honestly where I live I cant turn it up like intended. One day maybe...
How does the 8 ohm compare to the 16 ohm out?
Did you try using the HRX 1x12 cab with the DSL20? Would like to know as that would be my setup, many thanks
Sorry if I missed this - for these playing demos did you use the recording out? Or are you miking up a cab? Thanks
Is this an amp to play at home and still maintain a relatively good sound, or is it immediately too loud, as you start opening the volume knob? The amp doesn't seem to have a master volume, which kind of makes me second guess.
Yes absolutely. It has a power switch button that reduces the wattage.
Great lil.amp but does sound thin, think ill go the 100 version
Can you use headphones with this? I’m assuming this doesn’t have an effects loop?
My dsl20hr is brand new
But the ribavs don't work
are you normal?
This or the origin 20?
So -- serious question here. I'm a relative newb when it comes to guitars. Only been playing for about 16 months -- I don't even own an electric guitar (yet). Why would you want a distortion pedal? I mean, with an amp like this, use the Ultra Gain channel (or heck, even that Classic Gain channel can be pretty distorted) crank the hell out of the pre-amp, and you get all the distortion you need, no? I'm just not seeing the need for a distortion pedal at all, with an amp like this. But maybe there's a use-case I'm unaware of?
I've been looking at the DSL20CR... Really leaning towards that one, especially since you can find 'em on sale for about $750 nowadays. That's a hell of a deal. Combine that with maybe a PRS SE Custom 24, and you can have a hell of a good beginner electric-guitar setup for about $1500 -- definitely under $2K even with shipping and tax. That really seems like a good start to me...
That is a great rig - this Marshall plus the PRS Se Custom 24. Great choices. This amp has built in distortion effectively, so you wouldn't necessarily need a distortion pedal as this will cover all the sounds. When you take a more traditional amp like say my Fender Deluxe Reverb, it will break up heavily on 10 but it won't get that modern distortion sound without a pedal, which you would use at a lower clean volume on the Deluxe. Tired but true - use your ears! If you can get the sounds you want, you're good! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new guitar
Thank you. What red telecaster was that you used?
My DSL20HR sounds like a swarm of bees. I run it thru an 2x12 cab with Celestion Creambacks G12m65’s. All the YT demos love the amp. I can't get it to have that Marshall sound. I have the DSL100HR that sounds AWESOME! I guess I prefer a Marshall with a master volume or m DSL20HR is defective.
Play louder lower the gain, lower the presence/ treble. May not be vintage vintage sounding but you can still get classic rock tones. Fizz disappears with volume. That's where an attenuator could help
Pretty sure you are Trollin'
@@cliffords2315 not at all
@@bradleyjpaolucciMy Plexi settings are always everything on 10 and treble on 0 👍
How do you play everything at 10. Treble/bass/mid/ and volume?
I just bought the Origin 50 head and two "12 speaker cabinet. It's pretty damn nice! Why is my translucent cherry Classic Les Paul on your wall? Lol
Haha good choice! The Classic was worth of display as an art piece for the time being, but don't worry we'll be playing that one soon too! I'm sure yours looks and sounds great. Thanks for watching
Hi, I am looking for an amp for my RHCP cover band to gig with, for reversal with the band and alone at home. So the DSL20 sounds as a nice option for dirty cleans -if 20watt is enough for dirty cleans- but I wonder if the Origin20 or the mini silver jubilee would be a better option to go for? What do you think. Now I use a mustang III V2 as my swiss army knive that brings me quite far in the tones I need. Would a 20 watt tube Marshall with pedals and a 4x12 cabinet be a good upgrade?
I find the DSL20 to a swiss army knife of sorts for Marshall tones, it's really versatile and sounds great. I would choose that over the Origin 20. With regard to pedals, it depends on how transparent you want the amp - Marshall never truly sounds clean like a Fender, so whether it's a good pedal platform really depends on your sound. I don't personally use anything beyond a 1x12 if bringing a cabinet, so 4x12 is probably more than necessary for this amp, but it's personal preference too. Thanks for watching!
@@PlayandTradeGuitars Thanks
I have a EVH LBXII. It sounds great, but I'm wanting a cleaner tone at a louder volume. The EVH breaks up almost instantly. Does the Marshall dsl 20 break up pretty fast on the clean channel? The EVH is 15 watts, and honestly louder than I would probably ever need, so that makes me think the 20 watts would be enough, unless it gets distortion right away. So then I'd need to go to 40 watts. But the combo is 50 lbs! And I'm thinking about playing at church with seating for 300-400. (I'd love to Rock the church, 🤘😁 but I don't see that happening). What are your thoughts? I really value your opinion. Thanks.
To me, Marshall clean is fantastic but it always has dirt or a somewhat broken up sound. For true cleans it's Fender all the way which breaks up when you push
Thanks for watching!
Now only $699 for the head. Even more reason to pull the trigger.
Strange. I WAS subscribed to your channel but when I opened this I wasn't anymore. RUclips playing around??
Unplug the ox and lets hear it.
800$? In israel its 370$ new. Jvm205 is 800$
I returned mine after a week. So much bass, also very problematic with their wiring, something about how they wire the reverbe into the lead channel, also cheap pots. Pretty sure one of the preamp tubes went after like an hour of playing. I dunno I thought this thing was pretty crappy
Impossible. I have had it for 3 years and it’s still perfect. Bass is really tight like a mesa boogie, I think you had a bad unit.
@@rustinpeace770 The internet is full of trolls
Could this amp support gigs?
Yes definitely, thanks for watching
Thank you 🙏
Is this same as DSL JCM 2000 series ,, Just smaller and Chinese built with USB access👶🎤🙏
No, and No and there is no USB access
BUTT BOI!!
Straight out of the box... before I plugged in a guitar, volume completely off....shhhhhhhhishing sound in my speakers.. turn up the volume and it disappeared.....
Channel switching. No probs clean to dirty but ...dirty back to clean.....loud pop 😂,
Excessive heating up after 10 mins,
Input jack felt like no clicking in,
Foot switch buttons wobbly like some cheap arse pedal omg 🤣
When I switched her off even louder pop like a 30 year old solid state amp.
... ENOUGH, A new amp ha, back in the box, returned the next day...paid the extra $600 and bought a UK made jcm800.
Heaven Found at last.
Lessons learnt....U get what U pay for, Vietnam made junk.
Silly me, so sky music in Clayton Melbourne was the shop,
The JCM 800 was great for a couple of days then I discovered that the effects loop didn't work at all... LoL,
Mate.. I took it back to get a refund, Stupidly I swapped it for a SV20 from the showroom supposedly brand new...
The screws were sharp and a couple of other details prompted me to Sus it out.
A returned/ Repaired/ badly resoldered on the wrong side of the board and the soldering iron had melted into the sides of many of the coupling caps. The grey one's. It was a mess, took it back the next morning, got a refund and 3 lemon Marshalls in a row ....I wouldn't buy a new Marshall people don't get taken in by the cosmetic looks....inside it's all very average and cheap. They stopped making good Tube Marshalls with the JCM 900 ( the original ones)
@@ianbrown4386Who did the repair?
The distortion on this thing sounds awful. Doesn’t sound like a real Marshall.
After a week's honeymoon time with my new DSL20hr, I am in love. It's not a perfect amp, but for what it does, it's a little beast.
I am running mine through an HB vertical 2x12 with V30's. It's a pretty good match for those that like V30 tone. It takes about 10 seconds to dial in a classic thrash tone with added bottom end. It has a very aggressive bottom end. No problems there.
I will say this about volume. I have my DSL20hr sitting right next to a PRS MT15, which is also sitting on a V30 loaded 2x12. The MT15 is much louder than the DSL at the same spot on the volume knob. At 1/4 volume, the DSL20hr is almost at small gig volume. At 1/4 volume, the MT15 is stupidly painfully loud. I don't know if the DSL20hr ever gets as loud as the MT15. That little amp is a freak of nature.
