Marshall DSL100MLB Angled Half Stack

The Marshall DSL100MLB Half Stack with Angled MC412 cabinet breathes with powerfull amplification.
Along with the strength of Marshall's angled MC412 cabinet, the DSL100MLB explodes with sound. The two 12 inch speakers at the top of the cabinet are angled to give the player an easy monitoring of their guitar. DSL Stands for Dual Super Lead, the DSL has two footswitchable channels - Classic and Ultra. Each of these channels boasts two modes: the Classic channel offers a Clean/Crunch option while the Ultra offers Lead 1 or Lead 2. Instead of merely offering a variation in gain level to the two channels, each one of these four modes has been individually voiced as an amp in its own right. The tremendous tonal versatility of this amp, coupled with a 100% pure tube signal path (4xECC83s, 4xEL34s), Dual Reverb controls, a Tone Shift switch which scoops out the mids and a Deep Switch that adds a tight, bowel loosening, low end boost, caused the guitar world to sit up and take notice right from the outset.

Features
  • MC412 Angled Cabinet
  • Two channels - Classic Gain and Ultra Gain
  • Crystal Clean to massive Crunch switching on the Classic Gain channel
  • Lead 1 to Lead 2 switching on the Ultra Gain channel
  • Tone Shift switch to reconfigure functionality of the Mid-tone section
  • Deep Switch applies unique Marshall resonance circuitry for huge low-end
  • Effects Loop with level selection switch
As soon as you play one, you'll hear and feel why so many of the world's foremost players and journalists were quick to dub the DSL heads as the best Marshalls ever! It also won't surprise you when you learn that these amps have become the company's best selling all-tube heads to date.

The formidable family of JCM2000 valve amps was born when Marshall launched the DSL100 heads to an unprecedented wave of critical and public acclaim in the late '90s.

Marshall MC412A
The angled MC412's 200 Watts of power and Celestian speakers combined with the same flexible Mono/Stereo switching of the world-famous 1960 cabinets, means it will handle any Marshall guitar head with ease. Marshall recommends using 4 Ohms for getting full power out of the MG and AVT heads, while the 16 Ohms setting is preferable for use with their tube heads.

Subject:Sounds great especially for the price point
Quality: When I received the amp, the head had the wires hanging out the front from the reverb tank. Wasn't a hard thing to correct, but should have been caught at Marshall.
Sound: The tone is pure Marshall, but I plan on replacing the tubes soon. That will make it even sweeter!
Reliability: Don't know, but from experience with Marshall, you've got nothing to worry about
Overall: I owned a TSL that sounded louder, but this amp still puts out some serious power. I played the more expensive Marshalls, and this sounds better to me. Don't waste your money.
Playability and Feel: n/a
Tone: Anything from clean to maximum distortion. Get it. You won't regret it.
Finish: I love the black piping on the head vs. the white.
Action: n/a
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Tone:
Subject:This thing has some serious crunch
Quality: Unsurpassed by anything of I've ever played on. It dwarfs my other marshall half stack(valvestate vs100 head and cab).
Reliability: I've had it for about a month now and have played a few shows. So far so good.
Overall: There's one little thing that kind of sucks. The foot switch is only 1 channel. There are 4 channels so you can't switch to a lighter crunch (that the classic gain offers) from from the clean channel which is nice and warm by the way. The same can be said of the ultra gain channel having two channel within it and not being able to switch between them. This becomes a problem for say if I want to use wah, the ultra gain lead 2 is too gainy for a cry baby. However on classic gain crunch it sounds very nice.
Playability and Feel: It's loud. I mean everyone in the rehearsal studio can here this bad mother XXXX.
Tone: Lead 2 in drop D with the deep switch depressed is down right evil. Do a mid scoop with the tone button to mimic Metallica if thats your thing. Personally I like mids, they make for a brighter sound. An ESP Eclipse custom helps.
Finish: She is a beaut. Whats the deal with Equalization being spelled Equalisation. Or am I just a dumb?
Action: I pulled it out and let it chill for a minute. I went back to work where I read the manual. (it came while I was on my lunch break) Anyway after work I plugged it in and turned it on, I let the tubes warm up for about ten minutes then went at it for three hours. I think I pissed the neighbors off a little bit having it somewhere around 4 or 5 on the volume.

Reliability: Too new to say.
Overall: Outstanding product from Marshall, has it all.
Playability and Feel: N/A
Tone: So much tonal variety you just have to play one for yourself and see how easy it is to create the sound your looking for with this beauty.
Finish: How can you go wrong with this limited edition black on black model. Classy and Hardcore meet.

Subject:i own this amp and it sounds great playing with a band
Quality: hasnt failed me yet its made like a marshall
Sound: tones amazing best ive owned its a marshall you cant beat it tighten up screws on cab once you get it to make its tone at its best
Reliability: great if you take good care of it it will last you a long time before you have to change your tubes
Overall: its great tone lots of power at a great price for a marshall ive used it in a few gigs and it blends well with the band but it sounds so great it usually is the main focus of our bands sound i like that but its not great for if ur not ready for it if ur not in a band getting gigs that need this dont get it its not a good practice amp
Playability and Feel: it plays great for me and ive got a perfect sound for me one thing that could be improved is that the switchs for od2tood1 or cleantocrunch could be changed by the pedal
Tone: its great to get the classic marshall tone to gettin a heavier tone of more metal sound great for all music
Finish: looks great like a classic marshall
Action: took it right out of the box turned it up to ten the next weekend i played a gig and it blew me away way more powerful than my previous amp

Tone:
Subject:You don't see this very often
Quality: So far so good. Only a couple of shows but never a hiccup.
Sound: Outstanding. Of course you should probably be looking for the classic Marshall voicing. There's plenty of range for every application. Every knob has a real effect on the sound and so far I've not found a bad setting even though some aren't specifically to my taste. Unpacked it, let the tubes warm up for about 15 minutes and she sang like a chorus of tortured angels. (in a good way) Nothing but butter since.
Reliability: I've had the amp a couple of weeks and so far so good. Not much of a testimonial but I'll try to get back to you in a few years.
Overall: Rarely does one see a product come out that is, for lack of a better term, a complete no brainer. Easy to dial in tones, solid build, straightforward controls and not to mention incredibly well priced. Everybody should own one of these. Even if you're not into larger amps, even if you don't own a guitar. Deals like this come along far too rarely to pass it up.
Playability and Feel:
Tone: Whaddya want? If you can't get a tasty tone you might want to get an ear transplant. Plenty of versatility. I guess there may be some that want a different sound but who really cares about those guys anyhow?
Finish: I would have preferred the white piping but nobody asked me.
Action:
Skill Level: Semi-Pro
Do you own this product?: Oh yeah. I would have bought two but that would have seemed excessive.
