This is the DSL100H, as opposed to the current 100HR. I've not played the HR version. But it is a more recent one, made in Vietnam I believe (I don't have it anymore)

I think at this time it may have had the C19 mod. (Clip on leg of C19 resistor). In the end I preferred it stock. And that cab sounds awesome. I’ve been abusing it for a decade so the Greenbacks are nicely worn in.

@@BCyr1991 so basically it is stock... wow! I've never been able to get that kind of tone from that amp. How loud did you have it? I'm sure that makes a difference. What are the EQ settings? Thanks

@@Bret_Sanor it wasn’t especially loud, probably around 2 on the volume. As for the EQ I don’t recall, but generally I would set something like presence 10, mids and bass around 5 and treble 0-2

No boost here either, I suspect I was running the gain pretty much full tilt, and hitting the strings hard (where appropriate) to push it.

@@BCyr1991 is just amazing man, great tones with any amp you touch! I have a x100b series IV. It has something loose, it drops volume, i move the amp and then its okay. People tell me to bias hot for more gain, for now i just boost it and is insane! Loving it!

It definitely is a good sound, but it’s a bit one dimensional and fatiguing. The volume taper also totally sucks for playing anything other than basically too loud haha. Certainly too loud for gigging in modern times.

Greenbacks! If I stray from Greenbacks, it will only be to G12H30s

In a previous comment he said 6l6 :P

😮 sacrilige! lol jk sounds very good! 616 r warmer and more fat/bottomy

indeed I own a JCM900 with 5881 tubes in it \m/

I would say no. If I were to buy one new I wouldn't add those things.

@@BCyr1991 thanks

50 or 100 watt?

I have not tried it, I've only recently opened my eyes to preamp pedals, and have started in Bogner land

@@BCyr1991 that sounds like a good start

Just as a booster as you described.

@@BCyr1991 cool tone! Having seeing your other videos , i hear the characteristic of your way of playing no matter what the amp is. If is not a botter, can you tell me why ypu part ways with it? Such a nice sound

Washa Conte you certainly aren’t wrong. When I listen to my stuff I also wonder why I get rid of stuff/why bother getting new stuff. I probably got rid of it thinking the grass was greener elsewhere. And now I’m in the process of getting rid of all my amp heads and going to a 112 combo

@@BCyr1991 such is the way of searching the tone i guess. Thanks for your reply!

Paul Castaneda yes, C19 mod.

@@BCyr1991 what is it?

Paul Castaneda it’s basically just clipping one of the legs off the C19 resistor on the circuit board (near the input jack) and it cuts some of the high end out. I wound up putting it back and I preferred it stock. With the mod it lost some it’s “Marshall cut” while playing with my band

I would think about 40 pounds? It’s been a while since it’s been gone. But it wasn’t crazy heavy like some other amps I’ve owned.

Michael L Rakes I agree with your assessment. The DSL can do “more” than the SLX. But I think for a simple “point and shoot” rock tone I preferred the SLX. Now, my SLX was running on 6L6s so it gave it a slightly different character. But both can certainly do that hot rodded Marshall tone that people chase with big dollars.

The UK DSL you got in the 90’s is a completely different amp from this Chinese made DSL100.

the jcm2000 is not the same as the new dsl100s. i actually like the 2000s but i got rid of my dsl100 cuz as badass ass as some peoples tones were, i just cannot achieve them even if i want to. idk if its build quality but when i crank it, its almost like it lost tone as if solidstate. idk man got the slx and 2000 tho. maybe i will get another dsl cheap combo and see what happens

They are so different that its hard to say which I preferred. I think that the "Crunch" channel would be the closest to the 800. It's worth noting that I don't have either anymore.

If it is, they are friendly so far. But the house was originally built for a Doctor in the 1880s, so who knows...

1880’s is quite a long time ago - I only ask because there’s odd stuff floating in the video that doesn’t look like dust but you never know. Any reason you got rid of the 2100 over the DSL? Sounds killer here. Ever play the 2100 with V30’s?

@@free_electron I only got rid of the 2100 (first) because I needed to clear some funds and I knew it would move faster. I never played it with V30s, but historically I've not been a big fan of V30s. As of this past summer the DSL is also gone. The Splawn is still here, but its also going to be out shortly, all replaced by an EVH 50 watt and a Boss Katana.

BCyr1991 I’ve been inside Scott’s shop in NC. I ordered and picked up some cabinets from him that I have since sold while I was in school for funds. The 50W is a beast. I run a 2203 converted 74 1959 100W and a peavey 20W for late night jamming. Any reason you wouldn’t recommend the 2100? You can get them under the radar these days fairly easily.

@@free_electron On the contrary, I would absolutely recommend the 2100 (Atleast the SLX version). Of all the Marshalls I've owned (2204, 2210, DSL, 4500) the SLX is the only one I would be interested in owning again in stock form.

2018, does have B+ and Old/New Switch

Mine is a 2017. Doesn't have the B+ swich, but has the Mid switch and Old/New switch.

BCyr1991 man! Awesome! I had one but sold it. How’s the old/new and mid cut work?

Mark Is a STLBlues Fan how do you like the Mid Cut and Old/New? Does it really make a difference and worth the cost?

@@markgooch1715 Definitely worth the extra cost to have them! The Mid switch makes it more modern for Metal tones. The Old/New switch you could tell Scott was aiming towards the early "Quickrod" tones with it. I'm not missing the B+ switch so much, but then again I've not played through one of his with it!

I would say the DSL is better for the VH/Yngwie sort of sound. The SLX a bit better for the Zakk stuff. (in my experience, as my SLX was equipped with 5881s and had a pretty firm bottom end)

Love the heck out of mine. IMO, let them complain about the DSL. That’ll leave more amps for the rest of us. You can usually find used DSL heads starting at around $400.

A Dsl won't ever be more easy to service than a plexi/jmp/Jcm800. Those are very simple amps

Celestion Greenbacks. And that is guitar straight to the amp. That was the first time I ever ran the amp (I twirled knobs for about 5 minutes before recording the video)

@@BCyr1991 awesome sound there

Unfortunately I don't remember, but one of the biggest contributors to this is the C19 mod, which makes the amp considerably less "bitey" and you can add your high end back in with the treble and presence knobs, and not having them sitting around the 0-2 level like a lot of people do with their DSLs.

@@BCyr1991 thanks for the reply.

@@hummarstraful No problem! Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Perfect for dem santa cruz tones

The new HR really is a KILLER sounding amp. I have one that sits aside Bogner & Friedman amps that cost 5x what it costs and I like the pallette of tones on the HR more

The top amp is the JCM 900 SLX. Both great amps. But I think I agree (Even though I don't own it anymore), I think the tone of the SLX is better than the DSL.

DeadLeopardSikCougar were you using any pedals on this demo?

@@aztecworrior79 Nope, that was straight in. If I remember right, at the time I had a Duncan Custom (SH5) in that guitar.

DeadLeopardSikCougar thanks for the reply bro!..
