Same. I kinda do hate how after you’ve played an amp like this a while though... I start to feel like I’m stuck in a tone prison, and wishing I could plug into something radically different. I suppose as much as I love this amp I’ll have to own a few amps.
This is easily one of the best Tube amps I have ever owned that performed so well out of the box. The G12 V type hits the sweet spot very well for excellent tonality. Big difference from the 70/80 of the previous model. Which I never owned but played numerous times in the store. Out of the box I have never been as satisfied with an amp. The Fender Bassbreaker comes a close 2nd. Which also has the G12 V Type speaker. Excellent AMP without breaking the bank.
I just got one for the bedroom. I can't really get over 2 volume without blowing out the windows. Does it sound that much better on higher volumes or about the same?
Hey Marshall! You know would be really helpful? Explaining the 2 Master Volumes. They are confusing af and Marshall manual is no help at all. One would assume M1 is Classic gain channel and M2 is the ultra gain right? Nope. Apparently, after searching the internet, (thank you UA-cam) they have a memory function. So they are assignable to the different modes and different channels and "remember" the last setting used... i think. So their functionality changes if your not paying attention. I also read the M2 is a boost or something, so not sure how that works either. Not knowing this you'll find they change from green to red and sometime dont do anything if youre just playing about trying to figure them out. Some level of explanation from Marshall would really be nice for those of us who weren't involved with the designing of it. ;)
Very nice. My DSL40 is the previous generation. Mine doesn´t have those individual master volume on the right, and the controls for loop and to switch between 40 to 20 are all at the rear panel.
Have you got that bit about the Master Volumes/Footswitich correct? When I use the footswitch, it toggles the channels f(i.e. between Classic Gain and Ultra Gain). I can't, for example stay on Classic Gain and then use the footswitch to toggle the Master Volume controls.
When i am turning on the amp, should it be switched to stand by, wait and then switch to low or hi ? Or its better to have the button on low or hi when turning on and then switch to stand by ?
Hello people at Marshall, I'm desperate, so I'm trying this: I have a DSL100hr and a Harley Benton FXL8 pro and I can't connect the two so that I can switch the channels/modes using MIDI. The cable is fine. The MIDI channel could be changed, but I can't find this information anywhere: how do I set the MIDI channel on the amplifier back to 01 (if it was accidentally changed)? And yes, I know I can switch to standby mode and then the loop LED flashes. But what's next? And if the channel is correct, how do the two devices communicate? At the moment I'm trying to do the right routine on the HB, but the amp isn't responding. Please help! And please not the manual, I've read that and it feels completely incomplete and only for experienced users, which I'm not when it comes to MIDI.
I use the emulated out in a busy household with decent results. I don't have the luxury of a quiet studio room but if I did I bet an sm57 or two would be great.
05 scab Thank you for your info on this. I used to have a Fender amp and all I had to do was plug in a cord on the back of it and run it directly into my Tascam
I just got my dsl40cr yesterday and when I press the fx loop on/off button nothing happens. It will switch with the foot switch however. Is this normal or do I have a defective amp?
My Chanel switching goes out every one in a while. And it constantly looses sound I have to keep turning it off and it makes a pop sound and comes back on. Other than that it sounds ok when it works
Just got this amp last week, it's my first tube amp ever and it's amazing.

Thanks for the Dsl tutorial videos. Being new to Marshall amps I find them helpful .
Glad you like them!

Very nice demo. I've had the older DSL40C for 3 years now and just ordered this CR to complement it! I love those DSLs
Awesome Amps . Thank you Marshall. I Use the DSL20CR & DSL40CR. Love the sound of ECC83's & EL34 's.
Well done and thanks for sharing brother, Very helpful to many Marshall! Be Well All!

Can't wait to own it and make it sing...

Marshall dsl 5watt/1 watt with 12 inch speaker, reverb included.. Thats the combo i need.
I am asking for a video on how to play in headphones without using a loudspeaker in Marshall DSL 5 CR or DSL 1
Hello i ordered one today :D Do i have to let it in stand by for a while to warm up? or can i just put it on 40W and ON and play ? :)
trying to figure out the sme thing :D

Thank You for sharing your knowledge of the DSL40 ! I’m new to using Marshall. One question, how to record through it?

How big is a wat in a marshell amp , or any amps go up to just wondering?
I just got my dsl40cr yesterday and when I press the fx loop on/off button nothing happens. It will switch with the foot switch however. Is this normal or do I have a defective amp?
Why does the dsl fart out on the low string when the gain is set high. Its like the signal distorts in a bad way.
My Chanel switching goes out every one in a while. And it constantly looses sound I have to keep turning it off and it makes a pop sound and comes back on. Other than that it sounds ok when it works
I love this amp but it’s always breaking down on me
Mofo didn’t play…. 😅 wth 🤦🏻♂️
Brummy accent 😭
