Now this is a good video. Two comparable toned amps but also quite different. I really like how you tried to make them sound the same and then like each other. Also I’ve never been a Marshall guy but I’m pretty shocked how much better it sounded than the JJr. Very nice man.
Awesome comparison demo. I've been rocking one of these Marshalls for about 3 years now. Found one used before the internet discovered how awesome these little amps are. Like a lot of amps, the cab makes a huge difference in sound with the DSL IMO.
you damn right the cab and speaker combo makes a huge difference in tone! I used V30s in the video since it is widely used and loved. The v30 frequency really played nice with the DSL and not so much with the Friedman
Yeah i am sold on getting one now. I have seen/heard several comparisons now and the Marshall always has that growl i like the others do not have. I also like it is $1000 cheaper than the Friedman! lol So for the cost of that friedman i can own the Marshall head and a 2x12 cab! Plus the Marshall uses EL 34's.
Great comparison! Just got a used dsl 20 combo with upgraded celestion gt75 for $250 and couldn't be happier. I find it amazing how these affordable Marshalls hang in there with amps that cost much more
Man this is very enlightening. I saw pics of bill from mastodon's rig a while back. He always ran the bass real high on the BE and the JJ they gave him. I did the same on the uad plugins, never looked back. I guess the voicing really is just really lean on the bass side. Great video, the dsl rips.
Great comparison video. I own a JJ Jr, and love it. It was weird : with every comparison, your Marshall sounded the way I would have expected the JJ to sound, and vice versa. The Marshall was just clearly better here, even with the caveat that things would likely even up a bit when sitting in a mix. It was more loose, with that great EL34 saturation. And, really importantly, it was just a more inspiring tone. I might have to think about snagging one of these DSL20's now!
That's awesome, interesting that you expected the JJ to have more characteristics of the DSL. For me it's def the DSL. Much more inspiring and fun to play personally
I own a Mesa boogie Mark five. My other main amp is a Marshall DSL. The Mesa sounds brilliant, and huge in recording and in a mix. The Marshall is just more enjoyable to hear when you’re on your own. It has a sweetness , no other amp has.
great video,,thanks share.... finally, the way to really show a comparison of amp's. you made about the sounds, not you, like so many other channels... thank You
you have to think about quality sometimes and working on some of the Marshalls they seem to have issues In thier component choices in the amp circuit ,I can get that sound in a !00w Valvestate but is it going to hold up in time ? things we ponder when deciding on what to buy I really love the Valvestate sound and you can get them cheap ,but how much longer will it last ?so I took it apart and did my thing but its a hybrid amp
Awesome comparison! This is the second video comparing these two amps I've watched that make it clear how awesome the DSL line is, and how much Marshall has improved them from the JCM2000 era. Friedman makes great shit but I wouldn't say his amps warrant the prices they go for. The DSL crushed the JJ, IMO of course.
I have and love both. I wish the Marshall had the volume the JJ has. You would think it would with the full size tubes compared to the JJ. But with that being said theres plenty for a live setting as I play both live often.
I feel like the Friedman looses tone after being pushed hard because of the EL84s. I can't play either in a band situation since I play metal. BUT with the Fryette ps-100 I can! Still choose the Marshall over the Friedman
Agree that the DSL is smoking the Friedman. Could it be that the Freidman will cut through in a mix better when playing live or recording ? Have had the Marshall DSL 100 for 6 yeard. I can't get away from it .. great at bedroon levels .. just working on my weak cab game. Need a top tier cab and speakers.
I agree that the Friedman is tighter but the Marshall is punchier. I find in my experience that amps that are just a little loser are more enjoyable to play through for long stretches. I owned a Boogie 50 Cal combo which was the tightest amp I ever owned, but I felt it was way too tight most of the time. I was playing hard rock with a 70s classic rock vibe in my 80s club days in L.A. Back then everything was about having a tight and punchy amp, and it was hard to achieve the right balance. What worked most of the time for me was using combos, either a Randall RG 75 solid state, or any number of Marshall JCM combos I borrowed from friends and boosted with a Tube Screamer or SD-1. My JMP stack was just impossible when it came to getting more tightness, which is what drew me to the Boogie combo in the first place way back in 1989. I had a good rapport with many of the soundmen at L.A. clubs because I would mostly use combos and didn't act obnoxious. They got tired of dealing with all these dudes with walls of Marshalls and Laneys who thought they were Eddie even though they were living off the generosity of groupies. Regarding cutting through the mix, yeah, the Friedman would do a better job, but that also depends on the settings. Good demo. Sorry for rambling like an old man. I just dig high gain amps! I have a long history with these contraptions.
And spoken with clear true experience!!! You did live the golden age in those days with music. These days I don't think the appreciation is there but we don't care about that we just want to rock and roll. Interesting about preferring combos over a half stack. I just go for the wide punchy growl that I can use an overdrive to clean up if needed. Love to hear these stories. Thanks for watching man!
@@DeathMetalDevin I preferred combos, or a combo with an additional 1x12 single cab under it, if I had one handy. I think the best cabs I've ever heard were the Mesa 2x12s. They sounded incredible. Laney also made some good cabs for their 50 watt stacks back then, but the AOR Pro Tube Lead series with all the boost knobs that they produced around '86-'88 were notoriously unreliable and the 20 decibel bass boost only made them muddy. That was just a bit of a rough spot for Laney, who went back to making solid amps shortly after that period when they went back to chicken head knobs.
@@DeathMetalDevin Mesas are far superior to Laneys. There is no contest. The issue with the AORs other than reliability was the mud. It had a 20 decibel bass boost that was so notoriously bad that a common mod was simply to get rid of it and turn it into a more standard gain boost. Now, modded AORs that were modded along these lines sounded absolutely great. The problem was they were still very unreliable amps. Laney eventually improve the line drastically about the time they started using chicken head knobs and eliminated the pull-boost knobs. For me, clarity, reliability, and simplicity are the most important variables in putting a rig together. If I had money to burn and could get any amp, I'd either get a Soldano SLO or Bogner Ecstasy. Superb amps. I like Diezels and VHT/Fryette Pitbulls too, but they lean a bit too metal for me these days. I lean more towards 70s classic rock. I love the old Michael Schenker tone, but with a boost here and there.
@@angusorvid8840 I've never personally played a SLO but of course I've played the plugins and all. Not to say its a direct comparison but I do have a SLO modded Jet city 50 and I absolutely love that amp. The price on those SLO's are super steep so I'll just keep it at with my poor man's SLO mod hahaha
@@DeathMetalDevin I have the DSL20HR, love it. Specially amp gain cut down and front slammed with an OD. Soooo delish. Also love your Powerstage 200 vs PA50 video. I use a PS170 with my ENGL E530, Axe Ultra and Axe II units. Simply awesme.
Sounds to me like the Marshall had more gain. They might have been closer if the Friedman's gain was higher than the Marshall instead of keeping the knob in the same setting on both amps
I wasn't particularly sold on the feiedman. The distortion is very smooth so I felt it never got the grit I was looking for in previous tests with the amp with gain maxed. When I did play it I had to play it with it at 3o clock. Compared to the dsl it just didn't give me what I was looking for.
@@DeathMetalDevin I watched other comparisons and the Marshall come on top with those as well. The Friedman has a "Boxy" tone that cannot be dialed out.
The Friedman has the feeling, but not the sound! Its something inherent to amp design! The point in between is something that varies from player to player. Best thing is to have full control... i think the friedman would sound better with some low mid frequencies boosted in!
This was very well done, kudos. To me, I think the EL84's of the JJ Jr are the weakest link. Those tubes are just not meant for this style of music (if you ask me). Would've been fun to switch the JJ Jr preamp into the Marshall's power amp - but that can be a thing for another demo another day.
I just bought the Friedman jj junior combo not a lot of gain on them at all I find it almost more of a rock amp or blues amp it can’t handle heavy gain
Marshall destroyed the Friedman, (I am a metalhead) I am surprised I have this Marshall i like it really much but I thought that Friedman would be better ;)
@@DeathMetalDevin It really does! Like my 800 or plexi? No. But just as good. Just different. Folks get all hung up. Get that thing sounding good and make a great song:)
@B C E it really does sound like a perfect combination for the ole dsl with a resonance switch instead of a dial. Then tightening it up with the boost is great.
@@DeathMetalDevin 100% has the 100 watter sort of clarity already. I keep the gain around 6 o clock. Nice and tight. Then just a hair boost with buxom and the tight dial rolled up. Sounds about like a slightly brighter and tighter jj, tbh. Master at 6. Into the uad ox. Does the thing.
No bashing , but i will take 2or3 marshall dsl20's hr over the Friedman personally . . .cabinet makes big difference . i dont like my dsl thru a Peavey 212-c with two 25 wt greenbacks the M series(75hz) . . but love it thru my 4x12 with 25 wt H series (55hz) . . . that being said my Bogner mini sounds fantastic thru the peavey 212-c . . .sweat the small stuff mi amigos
The Marshall has more punch indeed but i think that the Friedman has more character. You want to sound like everyone else, buy a Marshall. You want a unique tone, Friedman it is.
I'm assuming we are talking about the dsl20hr. I sold it because I had a DSL100h and HR at the time. Sold both of those and bought the dsl20 again. I think this video was over a year ago
Yes, The Friedman sounds WAAAAAAAAAAY superior to the Marshall and it's higher quality in construction as well. But I wouldn't buy it because I'm much more into Boss multi-fx pedals through clean combos or a power amp and even straight into the PA.
@@DeathMetalDevin You're right about the punchiness of the DSL as compared to the Friedman. I had a DSL 20 combo for about a year. Good amp, a lot of punch, but for me the BOSS GT1 through a Roland Cube is getting the tones I need. Regarding the price of the DSL vs Friedman, there is no comparison. It's half the price. I did own a Friedman BE OD pedal for a bit and it was a good pedal. Worked well with the DSL and a Fender Bassbreaker. The DSL gets some very good JCM like tones, but to my ears I think they sound a little better. I wasn't a big fan of the JCMs in the 80s, but I did love the Jubilee and almost bought a 50 watt which sounded perfect. But I opted for a JMP 100 stack and boosted it with an MXR, Rat, Boss, Tube Screamer, etc. One good thing about Marshalls is that just about every repair guy knows how to work on them. Marshalls and Fenders are still the most common amps.
"Yes, The Friedman sounds WAAAAAAAAAAY superior to the Marshall" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That may be your opinion but it is definitely not mine! I think the friedman sounded Boxy AF!
Everyone’s ear is different. I love my Friedman. I hate mush and that distinct treble on the Marshall. Fingernails on a chalkboard. My opinion the Friedman has more complex chords. I can hear every note. I bought mine a while back when it was 14 1500. Now they are 18!! Thanks Biden!!!
The friedman jj is def an awesome amp, but it really is preference and I like the rounder tones I can get with the Marshall. Takes a boost like a champ
I use my Revv G2 as a boost mostly solos. And to play blues on the clean channel which is a vox clean channel. Revv G3 on clean channel for so called metal. I like to think of it as a tighter low end!! Hahaha!!!

Great review. 👍 Thanks for sharing...

Couldn't agree with you more. Still loving mine. Sold the one in this video but quickly regretted it and bought another a few months later lol

I don't know that, that is a thing for the friedmans. So that's information for me! Thanks for checking it out man! Dsl 20hr def rips
You just save me a ton of money, TY!
Friedman all the way. It's so in-your-face and articulate, whereas the Marshall is dark and fizzy to my ears. Great vid!

Thanks man, just want to share my findings! Thanks for watching!!
Right, you can’t just match settings to get the best sound from each amp
The Friedman is overpriced. The Marshal is the way to go, Just sayin
I do very much agree. For the extra grand I just couldn't find the tones that were for me. The DSL just had so much more of a rounder sound!
you have to think about quality sometimes and working on some of the Marshalls they seem to have issues In thier component choices in the amp circuit ,I can get that sound in a !00w Valvestate but is it going to hold up in time ? things we ponder when deciding on what to buy I really love the Valvestate sound and you can get them cheap ,but how much longer will it last ?so I took it apart and did my thing but its a hybrid amp

Do you think the difference is the EL34s in the Marshall vs the EL84s in the Friedman? Or do you think it's more to do with the voicing?
Very much so. I feel like the thickness of the sound is from the EL34s. I know that EL84s def reach their capacity before EL34s. Great question!
@@DeathMetalDevin Thanks
