Marshall DSL100H Demo | Marshalls Made Outside the UK.. Any Good?
I recently picked one of these up and it sounds great. I can play classic Zeppelin all the way to Slayer with it
Rich Auclair Any Sabbath?
Mr Holt used this amp for one of their tours :)
Johan Engström So he used a Vietnamese made Marshall? That’s interesting but makes sense I wouldn’t be to worried if it got beat up.
what is the price for a new one........1997 to 2003....they had bad leaky circuit boards that caused serious problems....
I can go from CCR to High on Fire with them. I don't own one, but my friend does, and there's also one at the local music store.
holy crap your voice has gotten deeper
Great review. The amp definitely has that classic Marshall sound. I don't think it matters where it is made as much as it used to as long as the company monitors and manages some quality control.
It got to be good, Gary Holt from Slayer and Exodus use this head.
Arthur Martins same with Phil Campbell
So did adrian smith apparantly
So did chuck schuldiner from death
@@kid_tyrant66.6 Chuck Shuldiner used the marshall valvestate 8100. A hybrid amp. I believe the dsl100 wasn't made until some time after he died.
@@countzero5150 kind of correct, the jcm 2000 dsl was made, but this amp is a refinement of the jcm 2000 dsl. So yes and no
Doesn't sound punchy in the mix at the beginning. Sounds better at 04:20.
I love mine, actually Reliable unlike older UK amps. Also, this thing has Really good Metal tone.....better than I thought.
i have one and i dont care where it was made , its fkn amazing.
As soon as you switch to Ultra gain it's like 🤘🤘🤘
Just got my DSL40C for Christmas. It is a great amp (In my opinion), and I can safely say you did this amp the justice it deserves my friend! Between your demo song and the isolated tone demos, you served this amp well man! Great review as always!
Thanks for this review. Just purchased the amp. I really like it because it covers most of the tones and sounds I need or prefer. For the heavy work I prefer the second ultra gain channel, but at low gain settings. Lets say at "3". Otherwise the gain is just too much and you will loose definition.
Just finished watching this video and was convinced. I bought one along with an orange 212 😁😁😁
I picked up the DSL40 Combo recently and its honestly amazing for the price.
Always stoked when you put out a new video. Amp sounds great!
Thanks man! \m/
I bought this when it first came out. Along with a MX412A and the MX412B, loaded with celestian speakers. Absolutely satisfied with my purchase and sounds great with any guitar I plug in it.
Good stuff man! Got my DSL40C from Sweetwater about a week ago with the Creamback speaker and I'm pretty happy with it! I really dig it boosted with either a TS9 or Tumnus Deluxe! Still may get a Dracarys soon but it may not be needed. Anyway, this video definitely did the Marshall justice!
I have one the DSL 100 H is v2 I love this amp it sounds great full of tone. And also it has those tone of a JCM 800 get one I'm happy i have
I saw a video of Matt Pike of Sleep and High on Fire playing one of these with High on Fire. He was playing the JCM2000 DSL, which obviously became the DSL100H. If it's good enough for our Rifflord and Savior, it's good enough for me!
I love mine! It's what it's supposed to be... it's a solid, reliable, great sounding head!
Peter Parker! With great power comes great responsibility...
5:32 a 12 Pack of WHAT now? ^^
Demonetized
Old af video I stumbled upon lol still love it all
I got the dsl 20 watt and with some pedals it's pretty dope
Great review my friend!
Thanks dude!
Thank you for this Demo. Sounds just perfect for me.
Once again, great review. I've been looking at buying a new head for my Marshall 4x12, and am in the market for a tube amp, as my current Marshall head is a 3315 150 Watt Lead (solid state) that I bought back in 1988. My style and tastes have changed over the years, so I need that tube sound.
If you're going Marshall, these are great. They're underrated, too, so you can find a great deal on them used.
This sounds decent but I actually like my valvestate more. Valvestates are really underrated for the money.
I would say their sound is similar (I own both), but the Valvestate has trouble going really loud (playing in a full band with loud drummer, bassist and second guitarist). Then the sound turns into a cacophony. The DSL with its all tube power has no problem with that.
Nice Video Bro..Love my DSL head as will probably never sell it..call me crazy but I also have the Marshall Valvestate 2000 head it has 1 preamp tube in it.wasnt very popular but it has great tone..you cant really go wrong with Marshall for that classic Rock N Roll style.
I've got the same Valvestate and its a pretty good amp for the money. I really appreciate all the ins and outs it has on the back, especially for recording.
Obituary use a Valvestate (boosted with a Rat)..
i love mine. took me a bit to dial in the sound i wanted, but once i did its been perfect.
Yeah it's definitely not the easiest. It can get harsh or muddy all too quickly, but once you get it, you really get it!
I don’t know what song he’s playing in the beginning, but I would like to know. So I can learn those riffs.
I found your channel about a month ago and got so stoked when you posted the picture of this beast on your Facebook. I'd love to get a Marshall. Peavey 6505+ will always be my favorite head, but Marshall is still up there. Bullet For My Valentine and Crossfaith use them, so I don't get why people are shocked when they hear the gain. 😂
You're talking about Marshall? I thought BFMV used Peavey and Mesa. I know Gary Holt currently uses a DSL100H, and Trivium used to record using an older DSL100. Either way, when they want to, these Marshalls can scream!
+Agufish Used them, would be more of a correct statement, so I apologize for any confusion. They used Marshall back in the old days for videos and live performances, but not anymore. I totally agree though! I love the Marshall sound.
Looking back on these old videos of yours, it's remarkable how much your voice has changed. Or is it a mic trick that has your voice sounding different?
I bought one recently and I really like it. I use the clean channel, without crunch and the ultra gain in lead 2, where the gain is only on 3, but that more than enough gain for some prog metal. Higher gain would only kill the precision and your sound. For certain there will be better high-gain heads out there, but for this money?
Great review again...truthfully, I didnt care for the Mix tone, but thats just my preference. The play through it sounded great.
Totally agree with you, there is just something 'bout a Marshall, and it its the Iconic 80's amp. And true on being made in Vietnam, as long as the quality control is there.
Im may pickup a DSL40 combo soon, love the tones that gives as well.
thanks again for another cool vid!
It's certainly a lot different than my normal mixes. Kind of smoother and less bass-y?
Glad you enjoyed the playthrough though, I haven't tried the DSL40 yet, but the Anderton's crew seems to love them. If they have the same pre-amp and gain structure as it's big bro, it'll be great.
Its a great amp.. and its pretty much identical to the JCM 2000...
Turn the gain up some on the crunch channel of this amp then hit it with a good overdrive pedal. Stand back and prepare to be blown away.
Found one on Facebook Marketplace for $850. Might have to get one and a 4x12 cabinet for it.
I can't believe you got rid of the 6505. Your reviews on that are what pushed me to buy it. I even bought a 2x12 (Orange PPC) because I loved your video with your Mesa cab. I feel betrayed in so many levels but you still have one of my favorite channels on RUclips.
hahaha my bad dude :( That's still a great combo. It didn't make sense for me to have two 6505-based amps, plus I needed the cash to get this guy for a video haha. Glad you're enjoying the content though!
+Agufish You should try out an Orange Micro Dark. I picked one up recently from Sweetwater and it is a pretty cool little practice amp. For under $200 I think it's the best small amp you can buy right now.
Okay so i'm here from the other video! And i'm impressed dude! Now, idk about trading a 6505 for one, but then again i'm biased towards playing 7-8 string guitars and i'm looking for that kind of tone, but it's really a killer head my dude!
nice demo!! keep it up!! :)
Wish they would release a 40w head😢
nice video man :) keep it up !
awesome amp you rocked it
Really awesome and high quality video. I like it,
but you should increase the Volume because of the missing saturation of the power tubes. If it's too loud for you should activate the Triode Mode on the back and if its still too loud for recording you should invest into a powerbrake/Power Attenuator
I'm a bit jealous xD
I'm still playing with my Cort X1 (cheap, but nice guitar) and a roland micro cube. If you have the option to try these, you should definitely make a video, because it's the perfect beginners guitar, when you are into metal/punk etc.
lol, I've played a Cort X1, and they're not bad at all. I'm using a Squier Bullet Strat here so...
I'm actually recording into a Two Notes Torpedo Live, and anything above about 3-4, it was just freaking out. I was getting kind of like a small speaker sound of the amp through the Torpedo that was just throwing off my sense of tone. I thought the better way would be to keep it around 3, and then use the OD808 to kind of push it to the sweet spot.
I know this is sort of an old video, but I'm curious: is a boost completely necessary? I plan on getting some iteration of the DSL, and I don't think there's anything wrong with using an overdrive, but I don't want to sacrifice my clean channel
Sell it and buy a DSLHR and 6 button PEDL-91016 (making the amp 4 channels), add KT77's and NOS preamp tubes and it sounds better than a JCM2000. Adding a choke makes it even closer to a 2203.
I'm pretty satisfied with dsl5c even tho I had to run it to external cab
The DSL5C is amazing! The best low-wattage amp I've ever played. I put a Celestion Vintage 10 in there and can sorta keep up with a drummer if I prop the amp up onto a table to get it more ear-level.
Great stuff
great video thanks, you don't have any other guitars besides the Squier? Wondering why you would do an amp review what that guitar? Sounded great nonetheless
At low volumes it sounds better than the 90s UK version.
Yes it's the best Marshall amp I ever had
Question: The beginning opening track are you using the Maxon OD808X Overdrive pedal for that sound or are you using a patch from your laptop/software?
I've always thought of this as more of the successor to the JCM 2000. It has the same feature set. I have a JCM 2000 and it sounds pretty damn similar to this. Only difference is the reverb is digital not spring. Also the half power mode
It's not a "successor" to the JCM 2000... it essentially *is* the JCM 2000. The difference, aside from a few new features, is basically that it's an affordable, made-in-Asia remake of the UK-made DSL100. The successor to the JCM 2000 is the JVM series.
Great review again. did you change your camera? Video looks more crystal clear
I'm now using a Canon T3i (the DSLR every RUclipsr and their mother uses) for the front-facing camera in addition to a Vixia for the closer shots!
does anyone ask me a question? I bought a dsl100h but it didn't come with a foot, does it only switch between the CLASSIC and ULTRA channels with the foot?
Got one myself, dsl 100 sounds much beter than my former tsl 60, and that was made in the UK.. glad i got rid of that
Ag, Really digging the review channels. Just discovered it and have been going through them all. You have a trusting quality about you whereas I don't feel like you have a motive behind the review. Any way I had the 40DSL and really liked the tones but every time I went to the low E it was very muddy and the bass encompassed the rest of the sound. I tried switching through 3 guitars and finally after a few weeks sold it off. Do you experience anything like this? I really liked it but made any chugging impossible. I'm wondering if it might have been the speaker. Thanks in advance. Oh and BTW, How do you get all your gear? What is your day job?
haha cool man, I figure if I'm not honest, then what's the point? So I found the DSL series harder to dial in than a 6505 or a Dual Rectifier, and it could get pretty muddy or tinny quickly, but once I found the right settings it sounds awesome! I haven't tried the combo version, so I couldn't tell you if it was the speaker or not, but it works well with my Mesa 2x12 and Two Notes Torpedo Live without getting overly boomy. Did you try it with an external speaker cab?
No but funny story, Stopped in a pawn shop yesterday while waiting for my Girlfriend to get off work. I found a freakin JSX for 400. Soooo I did what any guitar player does that already has wayyyyy more gear than he could ever use. I put a bill down on it. I have a Peavy Windsor at the shop and I've always loved that beast. So I'm kind of stoked. As for the combo I'm with you on probably the speaker. From the reviews I've read thats like the first thing people do with it. Thank you for your reply and keep up the good work my friend. Rock on....
Hi Aguafish, would you consider doing a demo for the Ironheart 120WH?
liked the review and playing, would have like just a tad more detail into compenants and such but cool review!
Got one...sending it back...too fizzy and the damn thing sounds flubby at times. I’ve ran it through Eminence Swamps, V30s, 70/80s, K100s all 4x12 cabs and it still wasn’t all that was said of it. My Blackstar, Egnater & Engl are way more tolerable. I’ll say this though, it’s hell a good for playing Foghat, Kentucky Headhunters and Skynard....
What pedals are you using? Cause that tone is really awesome!
Signal chains are always in the description :) For this demo I'm just using a TS9 to tighten everything up, and two ISP Decimators (one in front of the amp, one in the effects loop) to keep everything clean.
Oh okay. Well thanks! Awesome demo too! thinking about getting this amp to replace my fender. Thinking about which overdrive pedal to use with it. Do youplan on or have you already demoed the Horizon Devices Percision Drive?
Nah, I'm pretty sure they've sent all the demo units out to everyone they want making videos already. I'd love to get my hands on one eventually though!
The TS9 does a damn good job though, especially considering that boosting and tightening high-gain amps wasn't what it was originally built for.
I love my DSL.
Hey Agustin, what's your opinion on the Silver jubilee? I was gonna looking deep into them but I've also been on the edge on getting a evh 5150 iii. And how do you like your Dual rectifier?
I haven't had the chance to play through a Silver Jubilee, but the Marshall guys at Sweetwater Gearfest said that it was more suited to hard rock. The EVH is probably the more metal-oriented amp. As far as my Dual Rectifier goes, I like all my amps, but I love the Dual Rec and will never part with it haha!
have you plated the JCM
If so which one do you prefer and why?
Torn between one of these and the JVM410h... Price isn't an issue, but if I could save £600 and not sacrifice anything tonally I wouldn't say no
I wish I could help you decide man. Only played through the DSL100H which I think is awesome, but I've heard the JVM410H gives you a wider range of tones with the 4 channels. Whether they're any better than the DSL100H for the high-gain and clean that you're looking for, I have no idea. All I can say is the DSL100H is incredibly underrated by the Made In UK purists. Sounds pretty kickass to me.
JVM, independent eq across the channels and it's made in the UK. It's a much better amp but try them both out in person if possible.
The DSL does sound awesome for its price range, thankfully my university has one so I've had a chance to play through a 4x12 with V30's. Just need to find a local shop that stocks the JVM410 so I can make a fair decision.
Appreciate the replies as always!
Well, funny.. cause the brit guys who came to NAMM this year representing the Marshall booth were all agreeing that they would never get a JVM over the DSL themselves. And they laughed at how folks think it's any less just cause it's not assembled in the UK. It's all British parts and all British circuit my friend.... the tone speaks for itself.
its only ASSEMBLED in Vietnam.... So what?.. 3rd world countries assemble most everything this days.
I saw you playing the Ultra Gain Channel on the Lead 2 with the volume and gain at around 3 o clock. Do you do that bc you dig the power amp distortion more or does your dsl get incredibly muddy as if it was choking like mine? Everytime i scoop the gain to more than 3 o clock it chokes my low ends (no problem doing that with the volume, but it gets incredibly loud if i do so)... The good side effect was that i got to know the power amp section better and now know that this is where the good old marshall sound comes from and i am digging it. but it bugs me that i cant turn the gain up to get that rectified metal sound.
I actually have the gain at around 3 or 4 on the dial (so like 9 or 10 o'clock). I generally don't dial in a ton of gain for any amp, and prefer to crank the volume a bit and use something like a Tube Screamer to really push that power section. Generally, to my ears it's just clearer and ballsier. When I crank the gain on my particular Marshall, I tend to find it doesn't really get muddy, but it does get fuzzy and grainy. The DSL is pretty finicky when it comes to dialing in tone, and I don't think I could ever get it to sound quite like my Dual Rectifier; it has it's own sound.
this amp head just don't do it for me, no offense
none taken, tone is all subjective and in the video I just shared my opinion. it's pretty divisive, same as the Jet City Custom 22, and I like them both haha
true dat bro, sometimes we guitar players literally can drown in a cup of water. our never ending quest for THE TONE.
So? (No offense).
WHAT HEAD DO YOU HAVE??.......AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND??
You should buy an American Stratocaster. The quality is much higher than an Indonisian Squier.
I might pick one up in 2 days. That's a killer's row of amps you've got stacked in this shot, sort of a dream team. Oh and how the heck do you get away with these types of heads in an apartment?
haha... and now I've switched out the Bugera for a proper US-made 6505+ and picked up a Jet City 100HDM :P
I think you'll love the Marshall. It's a freaking beast. If it was the only amp I owned I'd be perfectly happy with it. And I use a Two Notes Torpedo live instead of a real cab, so the audio goes straight into my DAW and not through the entire building.
All right, I just pulled the trigger! I couldn't have said it better than you did, "I have always wanted to own a marshall," that's my main logic here. Most of my other amps are bluesy, rock-ish, or whatever I need something that goes to 11, LOL. So this is my first step into big monster heads. I played a small marshall in a band I was in for a few months, with an OD pedal and a les paul knockoff, and I kind of got the bug. Also a big fan of Billy Corgan's work with heads similar to these. Very excited to see how it stacks up...pun intended.
Rock trên chàng!!!!!! Vietnamese for rock on dude!
\m/ 0.o \m/
What does it sound like RAW? Effects take away...
Lead 1 is Overdrive?
bugera 1990 vs Marshall DSL 100?
Our DSL40C came in a few days ago. It's amazing. How do you run your OD808 through the Ultra gain lead 2? Even the ultra gain lead 2 is already, uh, ultra gainy and distorted at low gains.
I'm basically just using the OD808 with the tone and the gain all the way down. I'm just using the level control to boost the amp to its sweet spot. If you add any gain or tone to Lead 2 it'll probably sound like garbo lol
+Agufish That's what I read a lot of people telling to do. Makes me really curious, I probably should invest in a better distortion pedal, than just relying on the UM300 lol. I'm thinking of maybe the MXR Super Badass, although the 808 is probably the safest choice. :p
I've never tried a UM300 so I can't really say, but overdrives are different to distortion pedals. Distortion will get you that high-gain, saturated sound from a clean channel, whereas overdrive pedals tend to be lower-gain and really just drive the amp harder. With the DSL Ultra Gain channel, you definitely don't need a distortion pedal, but it is always worth your while to invest in a Tubescreamer (I suggest either the TS9 or the OD808X). I have demos of both.
+Agufish Oh hey, that's the missing little piece of information that I need. :D Thanks a lot. I've watched your TS9 demo, didn't notice the OD808X though, should be very interesting!
Deo Favente I run a Boss SD-1 in front of mine at all times (lead2 and clean). Volume maxed, tone at 12 o'clock and gain at 9 o'clock. i keep the gain on the lead channel at around 11 o'clock. i also run an MXR smartgate immediately after the SD-1.
Yo Dude, good stuff.
Would recommend this or the DSL40CR for 75% bedroom playing 25% small bar club playing?
Thanks!
I have the 100HR and i would absolutely recommend it or the 40CR. Incredibly versatile amps.
nice vid bro
bro!
Hey people plz plz help what pedal did he use to lower the volume even though the head was working at volume 3 plz help
thanks
Hello, could share your pedalboard please
I just got this amp earlier this year, and the distortion channel sounds mushy and fat. A tubescreamer tightens it right up, but on it's own, it sounds like a fat mess. I'm a complete noob with tube amps, could my preamp tubes be bad? I changed the main tubes when I bought it and there was no change in sound.
No it's just kinda how this amps ultra gain channel behaves. As soon as you get the gain much past 4 it starts to sound mushy and looses it's attack and sharpness. It's got tons of gain but past 4 it's not very useable. That doesn't mean it's not a killer amp for metal though, just take your gain to 4 or 5 and throw a TS9 or 808 in front of it with the volume maxed. You get all the sharpness and attack but with the heavy tight "chunk" of your palm mutes all together while keeping the bottom end from sounding boomy. Really a killer metal tone! Pair it with some V30's and you're there!
Black Friday this is some great advice!! I've been searching for a new amp.
It's a great amp, really versatile! It is an unmistakably Marshall sounding amp, so if you dig a more British sounding amp, it's almost too good of a price point to pass up. My main touring rig is a JVM 210H and 1960A cab when we're on the road, but if we needed to save space or if we were playing some really small clubs where stage space was a premium I wouldn't hesitate to take my DSL 40C instead of the JVM head/cab. Both can get equally as good really heavy rhythm tones for pretty much any style of metal. The DSL just requires an OD in front of it and the JVM doesn't.
Holy shit this kid sounds 10 compared to the video I heard yesterday lol
How does it compare to the old JCM 2000? Would you take it over a Dual Rectifier?
+Rich Auclair it's less harsh and thicker than a JCM2000 but there's a reason I use the Dual Rec for most of my demos and not the DSL100H. Good amp for the money, but the Dual Rec reigns supreme Ronny ears.
Agufish thanks for the reply. I'm picking up a DSL100H in a few days. Do you have any input on the Mesa Royal Atlantic RA100?
i honestly want to play a squire bullet strat. ive never gotbthe chance. only ever went for the real strat in guitar center :') what are the major differences?
Corey Tevis body wood, i think bullets are agathis(which is a bit lighter than alder and a bit harder) also the finish on the frets isnt the best, the affinity series are better, just thiner
Thanks man!
don´t you use a pick? does that finger/picking hurt your finger?
He does,looks like a red dunlop tortex. Tough to see, had to pause a few times but it's there. 2.16 where I got the best view.
It seems to be missing some punch in the chug, but overall, the tone isn't bad. It just needs a boost to tighten it up a bit.
Hey dude I love your playing! Simple but tasteful.
Are you in a band?
Nope, single and ready to mingle lol
+Agufish LOL you have a similar playing style to mine dude, I hate shredding, give me great riffs and arpeggios all day instead.
+Agufish Are you endorsed by any products? Dunlop, Fender? etc?
+Hey! It's Me! Haha I'm not that great a player, but I definitely prefer groove over technicality any time, anywhere.
+Eric Aguilar nope. I wish Dunlop would endorse me, though. I lose way too many picks lol
Too bad the 15watts version has no fx loop, the combo version having G12T-75 speaker, which sound so thin dry and lifeless.
really? I mean the crap speaker is to be expected in these affordable combos, but no FX loop as well? pretty disappointing. Jet City Custom 22 is probably my favorite low-wattage head in that price range.
I agree Matt. ...I was a tech at Peavey when Ed designed the 5150 and 5150II. Never like the 5150, but the II rock! Same amp as the 6505+ though...great amps..The only guitar amp Peavey ever made worth playing...They were great when I was a kid though, cause that's all I could afford..till Ed came up with these...
Lee Burt 3120 is on it's way. Ever hear it with greenbacks?
I tried the 15 watt version and wasn't really sold on the high gain channel, an older valvestate 100 sounded much better. The classic gain channel takes pedals really well and can sound awesome
how does it drop to 50 watt?
there's a switch on the back to go between triode (50W) and pentode (100W). I forgot to take a shot of it for the video haha
Amp sounds good you don’t do the amp justice
holy crap your voice sounds differemt in your old video...
Cabinets?
He has a 2×12 Mesa cabinet, but he is tracking through a loadbox
wheres Fluff?
that's what I want to know. dude won't answer my emails :(
you're the reason i'm broke
Damn, that Squier sounds good. What are you running in the bridge?
I'm running the Buddha Hammerhead set in the Squier. It's kind of a custom bridge with an A5 and ceramic flankers. I have a video on it, and I always put the gear in the description as well!
+Agufish Awesome man, thanks for replying. I'm gonna look for that video right meow. Keep up the awesome videos
Would you say it's better than the mesa stilletto?
Whats up Agufish. Im new to tube amps but am ready to spend about 1200.00 on a amp head and cabinet. Ive been thinking about the Marshall DSL 100h. How do you set up that sound? I have a pedal board and currently play through a Blackstar and use some pedals in front of the amp and some through the effects loop. I use a clean channel and have a tubescreamer in front of the amp. I also use the Blackstars own high gain presets and just use a carbon copy for some delay. But like you ..I think a Marshall in the background is cool. Any suggestions on pedal combinations you might suggest to obtain a really, or the best, high gain sound from the Marshall DSL?
1200 is a decent budget, especially since you can get a used Mesa 2x12 for about 300 if you're lucky, then you have a lot of choices for amps. If you're set on the Marshall, personally, I use the Lead 2 voicing on the Ultra Gain channel with the gain moderately low, then use a Tubescreamer to boost it, and it sounds awesome. A lot of people can't stand the Lead 2 voicing though, and use the Lead 1 with a TS. I would look up Gary Holt's (Slayer) settings. I've seen them on the Internet somewhere, and he knows how to get a killer tone out of this amp.
Thanks man. I'm not actually set on the Dsl 100h. But since Ive seen decent reviews on it, and theres not a model that I can test out anywhere near my area I thought it would be the best choice. Just on your experience with amps. Would you suggest anything else that MIGHT be a better choice in terms of reliability, noise feedback, and tone? 1oo watts at least tuber
daayum! that's like the lowest tuned strat i have heard :)
Awww it’s a fetal agufish
Agu is like a fetus here 🤣
Nothing is made in the west anymore... :(
