I have the older DSL 40c without the master volume controls. I find the clean Plexi sound with the crunch off, gain at 9 o'clock and volume at 3 o'clock. An incredible clean tone through a Marshall? Yes!
I have the DSL40CR and personally I absolutely love the Green Channel 2....that's where the power of that amp is honestly...especially with a boost like TS9 or MXR Distortion Plus. I honestly think that the Green Channel 2 was made specifically to mimic a plexi to a degree....especially when the gain is set lower below I'd say 2 o clock and below. DSL40CR is a killer great amp for that price.
I would definitely agree. There are so many ways to get the sound that someone sounds good to their ear. Everyone is different with there ear but you have a good suggestion. Thank you for watching and your comment, they are very much appreciated and have a great day.
I have to say as I play this amp more I definitely love the green on the lead channel. I am using in more all the time and I even mention you could probably get a plexi sounding amp on the lead channel green but like I was saying, everyone ears are different but I am definitely on board with you on this one. Thanks again for your input, this is what it's all about, players reading comments and getting new ideas. Everyone's input is important.
@@thomasbowlin6787 I've changed speakers in this amp quite a lot. I went from the V-Type original to v30 to G12T-75 and finally Altec Lansing 417. The last is my favorite of the four. The amp is now as heavy as a modern 4x12 but it sounds incredible. The amp alone is so versatile. I personally feel that the crunch channel 1 was meant to represent a jtm45 while OD Green was meant to represent 1959JMP-JCM800 and Red was for JCM900-2000. Techinically the old plexis were consider Super leads and this amp is just the modern version of those anyway. Definitely a great amp. I've had it for a year or two and still play it regularly.
Yes I do agree about the jcm45 for the crunch with the right overdrive you can get close but tend to agree with you. The last speakers you chose the altec landsings are the speakers Randy Rhoads used when he was playing with Ozzy. I miss the good old days of Sabbath, Ozzy, the who, pink Floyd and Greg Lake but those times are long gone and I have a feeling they won't be back, at least that what I was brought up on and seen everyone I mention, well that tells my age (dinosaur). I have enjoyed conversing with you. Stay safe, just got my flu shot and RVS shot because I am past 60, the after effects suck but I want to protect my mom, she's 90. Take care.
Did not mean to steer people wrong at all but at the time I did the video I was getting that Jimmy Page sound with the EQ I had it set on with my overdrive just right but I did mention in the video to try the lead channel but after a lot of playing on it now for 4 years I must say, good call on that JCM45 I believe you hit it on the head my friend. Take care and I wish I can afford altec landsings but I can't, there awsome speakers.
Appreciate the advice man. The Marshall video’s were informative, and gave me a better understanding of how the amp works with the two masters. Thank you!
i luv nerdy stuff like this. there are so many tones and most are good for some musical situation. i need lots of tones and and i need them not to cost too much. if you don't know certain tones exist you can't chase them. don't go crazy over it just have fun and learn and hear a little every day. thanks a lot Thomas. very cool and thanks for kind words for all. Bye for now
I have a DSL 40CR and a 5 cr and they are both great.. extremely versatile amps .I can get a wide variety of vintage Marshall tones from both amps . This will sound counter intuitive but for vintage Marshall tones I like to use the red ultra Gain with the Gain set on 3 and the guitars volume rolled down to 8.5 .. Does a very nice new wave of British heavy metal tone . Low to medium output PAF style humbuckers go along way as well I like using the the ultra red with the Gain low much more then the ultra green with the Gain set a little a higher. I find the green channel a little too bright and thin at low to medium Gain settings. The red channel with the Gain set low is fatter thicker and has more lower mids so the sound is warmer and a little darker. It has more body. It also works better to get a vintage Marshall should at lower volumes . It helps to keep the resonance set low with the ultra red even at low Gain as the ultra red can get very mushy . At low Gain with the resonance low on ultra Gain red you get a very nice vintage low end m spongy but not mushy. Also does a real nice 1975 to 1977 live Alex lifeson tone .
Love Rush, I think those were the best years for his tone myself.....thank you for sharing how you achieve the vintage tone and that does make total sense leaving the OD2 drive way down. That OD2 is a nice and fat tone and backing off on the guitar volume, that's great. This is what I was waiting for is people leaving comments on how they achieve that vintage sound. Appreciate it very much.
If you want it to sound like a JCM800, put it on the green channel/crunch, max out the gain and hit it with a Tubescreamer or SD-1. Sounds even better than the gain channels.
Thank you very much, it's really appreciated. That's what this is all about, players sharing ideas. Thanks again and may you and your family have great Blessings this holiday season and beyond.
I definitely agree with you about the classic gain channel. The tones there are just a lot more defined and not as compressed fizziness that the ultra gain channel has. I usually keep my gain fairly low at about 4 so I can push the volume up a lot more when jamming which gets those power tubes cooking more like the vintage amps. And I pretty much keep resonance on 0 at all times. The plexi is a pretty tight sounding amp and they never had resonance controls so keeping it off just makes sense to me.
I agree with you. When I made the video I was not really using the resonance, I kept it at 12 but then after experiencing with it I did notice a tighter bottom end. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it very much appreciated and Merry Christmas.
I can get a very good Plexi tone on my Axe Fx 3... But I've gotten pretty nice Plexi-esque tones on my DSL40CR. Especially with my Les Paul loaded with Mojo Tone Clone 59 PAF Low Wind pickups. For some reason, Marshall's love those Low Wind boutique PAF pickups.
Peace and Love, Brother! Peace and Love. Thank you for the update. I just replaced all 6 tubes on my DSL 40cr and cannot wait to try your suggestions on my LP Standard 60's and my PRS DGT. Will let you know how it goes.
Thank you for your comment and the great vibe you send. I hope you get to the sound your looking for through my suggestions and like I was telling people on the video, there is no one answer but if I can help you get on the right track then that's great. I love helping people and telling other musicians what I know. I have been playing out since 1978 so in all those years I learned alot and love passing info to other players to help them out. Thank you my brother and please get back to me and tell me if I helped in anyway. God Bless and stay safe.
I try to reply to all who leave comments and if you look at some of my live videos you can see alot of Marshall's, absolutely my favorite amp of all times in my 50 years of guitar playing. Peace be with you.
I own this amp too. A speaker swap is a must but it’s worth it. My biggest complaint with the amp is that the bottom end is a bit mushy. Overall I love the amp though! I recommend.
Absolutely 100% agree. I didn't like the speaker at all that it came with but that's how they keep the price down. All I can tell you is my experience. I put a celestion creamback in the amp and all of a sudden it was the classic Marshall tone. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated. Also I never talk about speaker swaps because everyone and there brother will put there 2 cents about which is the best speaker. There is no best speaker it's what ever sounds good to the individual and that's why I didn't go down that rabbit hole. Keep rockin"
Very good question I also play classic rock. I use a couple different settings. When I use my Les Paul, the gain is usually around 12 o'clock and that really depends on how much gain I have on the channel I am using but 12 o'clock is where it's usually at My tone when I use the Les Paul is usually around 1-3 o'clock and my level is usually at 12 o'clock. Now for my stratocaster, my gain is usually around 2-3 o'clock, my tone, usually 9-10 o'clock to tame the brightness of the strat and level usually at 12 o'clock. These parameters I gave you do change depending on the size of the room so I am merely stating what the most common settings I use and they change depending on what Les Paul I am using because I own 4 of them and might change depending on what strat I use and I own 3 of those. Now the parameters I use is where I start and usually don't deviate to far from those settings I just make slight changes because no 2 guitars sound alike, some are brighter than others and so on. I hope this helped, set your gain on the amp where ever it feels comfortable to your ears because if you have the gain cranked up to much then turn your overdrive on you can actually get lost in the mix, atleast thats been my personal experience and I have been giging since 1978, alright call me old, lol. But please keep the 2 most important things in mind. 1st, let your ears tell you where it sounds good to you and 2nd to much overdrive compresses the signal naturally and you actually can get lost in the mix. With all this in mind you will get the sound your looking for and the settings I use might not work for someone else because that's what sounds good to me. Like I stated, I hope this helped. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated. Take care.
Thanks for watching. Good question. The 1st way to tell is the DSL40C does not have master volumes, only channel volumes. you can get fooled just by glancing at them because there are 2 control knobs in the same place but on the C they control the reverb for the 2 separate channels so you can have a different reverb on channel 1 and a different reverb on channel 2, those are the knobs to the far right where on the CR they are now 2 master volume and the CR now has 1 reverb for both channels. It is confusing since they don't put the C or the CR on the front panel but you can also confirm which model you have by looking at the back of the amp where the serial numbers are and the model number will be there. Hope this helps.
Love you to buddy, anyone who reads this reply, this man is a great drummer I played with for a long time a long time ago and is on the recordings that I did with Neil Drennan, so give a listen.
That will put earwax in your noise, that just about happened when I saw AC/DC on the Back in Black tour lol. There is no better amp In my personal opinion than a plexi. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated. Keep on rockin'
Hello first of all i dont know much about amps, my dsl40cr arrived today. I somehow cant find my right tone. I would like to get like an slayer, black label society, CoB, (metal) sound. Do you think an tubescreamer would help? For me the Marshall sounds somehow fuzzy right now ☹️ Thanks!!!
Thanks for asking. Well yes a tube screamer would really help alot but that fuzzy sound has probably alot to due with the cheap speaker they put in the amp, that's how they keep the cost down. So 2 things 1 get a tube screamer or some kind of overdrive or distortion pedal 2 replace the speaker and those 2 things would help out greatly. I put a celestion creamback in my Marshall but that may not or maybe a good speaker for you it is all a personal preference. I would do research on both because you may want a pedal with more overdrive or distortion and look at blogs on the internet to see what others have to say about pedals and speakers. So many players have replaced the speaker in those amps it's not funny, go look on UA-cam and you will probably see a bunch of videos on guys replacing those speakers plus that be a great place to get info on what pedal you might want to buy because I am not familiar with the sounds of those bands you mentioned. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated. I hope atleast I started you on the right track where to get some good info. On UA-cam look up speakers on the Marshall DSL40CR and see the response players give about them.
Don't be discouraged, it takes time and usually money to find the tone your looking for. Very few players get the sound there looking for on the first day unless they been playing a long time and am familiar with how a amp works to get the tone there looking for. Welcome to the world of getting the tone your looking for were spending money is a big part of the process because you buy one thing that leads to buying another one and so on. Goodluck in your journey I hope you find what your looking for without spending alot of money but that is a great amp so you probably won't be spending to much to get the sound your looking for but a good speaker would help out greatly and a good speaker is not to bad as far as spending money but it could depending which speaker you get but do alot of research on that because once you by a speaker there is no refund anywhere that I know of.
When you look things up on UA-cam be very simple on how you ask like "how do I get a slayer sound" or "what pedal is good to get a slayer sound" Sweetwater music are great people to ask these questions, I am not promoting you to buy from them but they have helped me alot with good info on everything you have asked me, they usually have the answer.
@@thomasbowlin6787 Thank you very very much for your answer! Okay i will Go tomorrow first to a guitar shop and maybe they can help me with an Pedal for the Sound im looking for! Thanks again!!!
I am sorry I really didn't know. There is video on UA-cam that I watched were Joe Badamaso, probably spelled his last name wrong but had the first version the DSL40, not the CR in his rig. He thought it sounded great. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated
I totally agree with you and that's why I had to buy a reverb pedal. You would think for the money you spend, Marshall can step up there game and give you decent reverb, notice in my video I pointed at the reverb knob and stated that I had nothing or maybe I said a little something to the fact that it was a waste of time, I don't remember now but I did pass it right by. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated.
Thank you very much and I hope it helped you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated and Merry Christmas and Blessings to you and your family.
I remember when the first album came out, I was in high-school and wow his sound blew me away. His sound on the first four albums were beyond words. Thanks for watching and your comment, it's very appreciated.
Just curious if youve heard the Plexi amp that Amplified Nation came out with. One of the best sounds i e heard. I just need 4 grand for the head. LOL Hope youre well, Tommy! Back down in earth i would like to have two dsl40s in stereo
Ya me to, I would like to have 2 of them myself. No I have not heard of that plexi, $4000 wow I would have to give blood every hour for 10 years lol. I don't think I have that much blood but for that much money the amp probably sounds like the best plexi on earth. Thanks Rodger, glad your back down in earth. Thanks for watching and your comment and hearing from you is very much appreciated. Take care my friend and have a good one.
@@thomasbowlin6787 Lucky me as I have 2 DSL40C amps. The first one has the speaker upgrade it is a G65 Creamback if I remember correctly. I got the second one for $499 as it was a ''returned'' like new amp. I got it as a backup. Honestly though, I run one at a time through a Marshall Origin full stack. Before I got my full stack I would run one amp through both of the 12'' 16 ohm speakers for a more full sound than just one speaker alone. Now I have my choice of running one DSL40C through 1, 2, 4 or 8 12'' speakers. I also have the Origin 50 Head. I prefere Marshall amps because I like the clean and I especially like the crunch and overdriven tones they can make. I like your channel (this is the first time here). The encouraging comments you made toward the end of your video is appreciated. - Peter age 73
@@PeterDad60 Thank you for the kind words my friend and I am glad you enjoy the channel, it is very much appreciated and thank you for the comment. I bet with all the choices you have with speakers you can get so many great tones. I try to be encouraging to everyone, doesn't always work but most of the time it really does. God Bless and take care.
You are absolutely correct. I put a Marshall creamback in mine. I did not mention anything about speakers because everyone has a speaker they like and did not want a lot comments about speakers, you chose the 30 which is a great speaker and I chose the creamback, was considering the 30, it was a tough discussion between the both, so I just wanted to avoid the bad comments on the players who don't like the creamback. Ya the speaker it comes with is absolutely rotten. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated.
Sorry, my bad. I thought you put in a special limited edition 30 greenback because my amp came with a celestion G12- Seventy/80 not a vintage limited edition 30, I have not heard of any of those coming with that speaker and I know others who own this amp, maybe it was a thing they did that for some amps, you know how Marshall is, changing things without tellimg anyone, I don't doubt you but it sounds very strange because I know what came stock with mine and it was not a vintage limited edition 30. Did you buy it new or used, just curious.
@@nasticanasta I just looked at Marshall website and all they mentioned is a 12" V-type. Other sites mentioned the speaker I have. One would think if it was a vintage limited edition they would definitely mention that so it must have been a test run they were doing unless you bought it used or the salesman told you that. Did you actually open the back up and look at the speaker?
Could you play the amp? We have no idea if you are legit or not. Sonic examples cupcake on your guitar and amplifier sure helps. Duh! Bet you talk about sex more than you do it! Still I appreciate your input...just crank it up! We can handle it darling!
Keith, that is a good idea, sorry for disappointing you but I see so many videos of players showing off and that was not the idea behind this video, I was just giving a response to a question on a comment on another video for someone that I really couldn't answer. He asked me, "how could I get a plexi sound on this amp" so I figured I would help him out and other players maybe not so experienced to get a starting point to get there own sound not mine. I will make one soon not to show my legitimately because that's not the idea but your right if I do give sound examples maybe it will give players a faster start. Thank you for your suggestion, it's appreciated very much.
@@thomasbowlin6787 I know your a good man. Thanks for taking time to post information. I get a little cynical and I mean no harm. Proud of you and your knowledge. It's great being a guitar player! I got to be more careful with my comments. Keep on truckin' brother. I want an amp with all the knobs to go to infinity!!!
@@keithplunk6611 Thank you Keith for your kind words and don't worry about getting cynical, we all have those moments after all we are just human.

Your also a good man for getting back to me in a pleasant way.
I have the older DSL 40c without the master volume controls. I find the clean Plexi sound with the crunch off, gain at 9 o'clock and volume at 3 o'clock. An incredible clean tone through a Marshall? Yes!
Cool thanks for the input. It is deeply appreciated. Rock on.

Hello first of all i dont know much about amps, my dsl40cr arrived today. I somehow cant find my right tone. I would like to get like an slayer, black label society, CoB, (metal) sound. Do you think an tubescreamer would help?
For me the Marshall sounds somehow fuzzy right now ☹️
Thanks!!!
Thanks for asking. Well yes a tube screamer would really help alot but that fuzzy sound has probably alot to due with the cheap speaker they put in the amp, that's how they keep the cost down. So 2 things 1 get a tube screamer or some kind of overdrive or distortion pedal 2 replace the speaker and those 2 things would help out greatly. I put a celestion creamback in my Marshall but that may not or maybe a good speaker for you it is all a personal preference. I would do research on both because you may want a pedal with more overdrive or distortion and look at blogs on the internet to see what others have to say about pedals and speakers. So many players have replaced the speaker in those amps it's not funny, go look on UA-cam and you will probably see a bunch of videos on guys replacing those speakers plus that be a great place to get info on what pedal you might want to buy because I am not familiar with the sounds of those bands you mentioned. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated. I hope atleast I started you on the right track where to get some good info. On UA-cam look up speakers on the Marshall DSL40CR and see the response players give about them.
Don't be discouraged, it takes time and usually money to find the tone your looking for. Very few players get the sound there looking for on the first day unless they been playing a long time and am familiar with how a amp works to get the tone there looking for. Welcome to the world of getting the tone your looking for were spending money is a big part of the process because you buy one thing that leads to buying another one and so on. Goodluck in your journey I hope you find what your looking for without spending alot of money but that is a great amp so you probably won't be spending to much to get the sound your looking for but a good speaker would help out greatly and a good speaker is not to bad as far as spending money but it could depending which speaker you get but do alot of research on that because once you by a speaker there is no refund anywhere that I know of.
When you look things up on UA-cam be very simple on how you ask like "how do I get a slayer sound" or "what pedal is good to get a slayer sound" Sweetwater music are great people to ask these questions, I am not promoting you to buy from them but they have helped me alot with good info on everything you have asked me, they usually have the answer.
@@thomasbowlin6787 Thank you very very much for your answer! Okay i will Go tomorrow first to a guitar shop and maybe they can help me with an Pedal for the Sound im looking for! Thanks again!!!
Glad to help.
Didn't Nuno use A DSL on his latest Album
I am sorry I really didn't know. There is video on UA-cam that I watched were Joe Badamaso, probably spelled his last name wrong but had the first version the DSL40, not the CR in his rig. He thought it sounded great. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated
Great video very explanatory in the field , plus some history about Guns N' Roses first album ("Appetite For Destruction") which I love .
Happy to help. Thanks for watching and your comment, it is very much appreciated. Stay safe
Darn good amp.👍
Wish the DSL40CR amp had a stronger reverb, seems really weak.
I totally agree with you and that's why I had to buy a reverb pedal. You would think for the money you spend, Marshall can step up there game and give you decent reverb, notice in my video I pointed at the reverb knob and stated that I had nothing or maybe I said a little something to the fact that it was a waste of time, I don't remember now but I did pass it right by. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated.
Cool
Thank you very much and I hope it helped you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated and Merry Christmas and Blessings to you and your family.
There’s only one Marshall SLP sound that matters, and that’s the first four Van Halen albums.
I remember when the first album came out, I was in high-school and wow his sound blew me away. His sound on the first four albums were beyond words. Thanks for watching and your comment, it's very appreciated.
Just curious if youve heard the Plexi amp that Amplified Nation came out with. One of the best sounds i e heard. I just need 4 grand for the head. LOL
Hope youre well, Tommy!
Back down in earth i would like to have two dsl40s in stereo
Ya me to, I would like to have 2 of them myself. No I have not heard of that plexi, $4000 wow I would have to give blood every hour for 10 years lol. I don't think I have that much blood but for that much money the amp probably sounds like the best plexi on earth. Thanks Rodger, glad your back down in earth. Thanks for watching and your comment and hearing from you is very much appreciated. Take care my friend and have a good one.
@@thomasbowlin6787 Lucky me as I have 2 DSL40C amps. The first one has the speaker upgrade it is a G65 Creamback if I remember correctly. I got the second one for $499 as it was a ''returned'' like new amp. I got it as a backup. Honestly though, I run one at a time through a Marshall Origin full stack. Before I got my full stack I would run one amp through both of the 12'' 16 ohm speakers for a more full sound than just one speaker alone. Now I have my choice of running one DSL40C through 1, 2, 4 or 8 12'' speakers.
I also have the Origin 50 Head. I prefere Marshall amps because I like the clean and I especially like the crunch and overdriven tones they can make.
I like your channel (this is the first time here). The encouraging comments you made toward the end of your video is appreciated. - Peter age 73
@@PeterDad60 Thank you for the kind words my friend and I am glad you enjoy the channel, it is very much appreciated and thank you for the comment. I bet with all the choices you have with speakers you can get so many great tones. I try to be encouraging to everyone, doesn't always work but most of the time it really does. God Bless and take care.
If you do not own a vintage Plexi you will never understand it amazing sounds. This guy can't tell if he is awake or not. Brain dead for sure.
Not with that crap V-Type speaker... I have the Vintage limited edition with the special V30 in it.
You are absolutely correct. I put a Marshall creamback in mine. I did not mention anything about speakers because everyone has a speaker they like and did not want a lot comments about speakers, you chose the 30 which is a great speaker and I chose the creamback, was considering the 30, it was a tough discussion between the both, so I just wanted to avoid the bad comments on the players who don't like the creamback. Ya the speaker it comes with is absolutely rotten. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's very much appreciated.
@@thomasbowlin6787 I didn’t choose the speaker, I have the DSL40CRC, it comes with the Marshall V30
Sorry, my bad. I thought you put in a special limited edition 30 greenback because my amp came with a celestion G12- Seventy/80 not a vintage limited edition 30, I have not heard of any of those coming with that speaker and I know others who own this amp, maybe it was a thing they did that for some amps, you know how Marshall is, changing things without tellimg anyone, I don't doubt you but it sounds very strange because I know what came stock with mine and it was not a vintage limited edition 30. Did you buy it new or used, just curious.
@@nasticanasta I just looked at Marshall website and all they mentioned is a 12" V-type. Other sites mentioned the speaker I have. One would think if it was a vintage limited edition they would definitely mention that so it must have been a test run they were doing unless you bought it used or the salesman told you that. Did you actually open the back up and look at the speaker?
Could you play the amp? We have no idea if you are legit or not. Sonic examples cupcake on your guitar and amplifier sure helps. Duh! Bet you talk about sex more than you do it! Still I appreciate your input...just crank it up! We can handle it darling!
Keith, that is a good idea, sorry for disappointing you but I see so many videos of players showing off and that was not the idea behind this video, I was just giving a response to a question on a comment on another video for someone that I really couldn't answer. He asked me, "how could I get a plexi sound on this amp" so I figured I would help him out and other players maybe not so experienced to get a starting point to get there own sound not mine. I will make one soon not to show my legitimately because that's not the idea but your right if I do give sound examples maybe it will give players a faster start. Thank you for your suggestion, it's appreciated very much.
@@thomasbowlin6787 I know your a good man. Thanks for taking time to post information. I get a little cynical and I mean no harm. Proud of you and your knowledge. It's great being a guitar player! I got to be more careful with my comments. Keep on truckin' brother. I want an amp with all the knobs to go to infinity!!!
@@keithplunk6611 Thank you Keith for your kind words and don't worry about getting cynical, we all have those moments after all we are just human. Thanks for your response it is really appreciated and have a good one my friend. Sorry for removing some replies but I felt I could have worded with more understanding of where I was coming from. Your also a good man for getting back to me in a pleasant way.
