Marshall DSL 100 Amp 1/2, JCM 2000

this is the best marshall ever, period!

the 100 id louder than the 50 but i wouldnt say twice as loud. personally i own the 100 and it is insanely loud especially once u get up to 8-10. as for the 50, it would break up earlier but its not very important on this amp because of all of the gain options you already have. you can get any kind of distortion and tube tone at bedroom volumes. hope this helped -JC

I was told my DSL 50 wouldn't sound good below 5 or 6 in volume. The nay-sayers were all wrong. It sounds surprisingly good to me.

i have a question??
if the head is on 1000watt does it mean that you just can get 100 out of youre cab even if youre cab is on 400watt??

if you cant get the same tone that the guy is having on this video is because you have to crank your amp to at least 6 to get a "marshall" tone. its gonna be really loud tho xDDD

I am loving this amp

the clean channel at around the 9:09 marker where it sounds like a slap bass, is that the guitar or the amp. im looking for an option like that

valvestates has one tube in the preamp and a solidstate power amp. the tube amps have tubves in the preamp and power amp. tube amps sound 1000 times better than a valvestate

this is what i call a good review. :)

Tube amps have tubes in the pre amp and post amp. and valve state most of the time has just one tube in the preamp and a solidstate post amp, or speaker however you wanna call it.. A full tube amp is best of course... No way you can deny that.

do they still sell this amp? i cant find it anywhere online

yes, tube (valve, watever you call it) amps tend to take pedals a lot better than SS amps. not always though, the roland jazz chorus is solid state but its perfect for taking pedals

awesome sound! really digg the funky bit at the end

accually they have a solid state pre-amp with a single 12ax7 in there to try to shape and color the tone to sound "tube" and i think they do a pretty good job of it. but if you use the effects loop it loses any tube characteristics it had. still cool amps though.

Your best bet is to get an amp with tube power, AND tube preamp sections.
