Hi Jason - what do think about the hissing noise that appears when the high gain channel is on ? I noticed that you turned down the volume on the guitar. Is there something wrong with the amp ?

Really interesting and helpful ! Thank you for sharing Jason !

Anti-reflective glasses. There, I just changed your life. ;0) Oh, and great review!

Just found this review and it’s great! I’ve got a Les Paul and, like you, I want to move away from modelling amps (Catalyst) to a simple valve amp. Naturally I’m looking Marshalls to match the Gibson! Would you recommend the DSL5CR? That’s the one I’m considering but I’ve been told to look at the Blackstar HT5 too.

what about the emulated out when plugging your headphones in? top or flop?

I got this amp 2 months ago, changed out the tubes for better tubes and put a 12AT7 in the V2 socket to tame the high gain channel a little and now I love this amp. I also have an Orange Crush 12 and a Bugera V5 and a Swart Atomic Jr. The Marshall is the most fun to play at the low volume levels I usually play at, it's the perfect bedroom amp.

Exactly the review i was looking for. Thank you.

Is it normal for my amp to hiss ?

What's with the hum/buzz? you're not using single coil pickups?

but all the amps I buy never like they do on the youtube

listen to that noise!!!!!! seriously no mention???? wtf

Triode Mode is Full Power, Pentode is Half Power for saving the life of the tubes

Both together sounds brighter as the pickups are in parallel. Two resistances in parallel reduces the resistance and impedance a bit like how a lower output pickup has a lower impedance and resistance.

I've got the same 1983 model but in Arctic White which I bought new in early 1984. I wanted the black version for the same reason as you...fallen in love with the Edge's Strat, but my local music shop only had the white one in stock and in the days before on-line shopping, you had to take what you could find available. It cost £199 back then and the USA Strats in the shop were, I think, about £450 which was too much for me at the time. It was the only guitar I had for about 13 years when I started playing in a band and bought an Epiphone SG as a back-up. It was still my main gigging guitar for quite a few years. The only part that's been changed is the 5 way switch which I had to replace about 20 years ago. I don't gig with it any more as the frets are getting pretty worn but I still use it for home recording and sometimes take it to band rehearsal as a treat as it's one of the nicest guitars to play, even though I now have a couple of Fenders and a few other mid-range guitars. Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed mine !

Time stamps in video! Thank you to anyone who manages through 15 minutes of my waffling! A proper tone demo/full chat coming soon(ish).

El dsl1 cr suena genial, realizando un cambio de válvulas ,reemplazando la original V1 12ax7 , por una 12ay7, consigues una distorsión mucho más regulable ,desde el propio gain del amplificador, La mejora de sonido es brutal,con ese cambio de válvulas.... Si además utilizas un altavoz de 12"....sonará mejor que el original de 8" que lleva el dsl1 cr

I really wanted one! They weren't sold in my country.

That's your strings ringing over the nut.

Just the footswitch has a bad feedback “ click” when switch from the dirty channel to the clean channel. Damn

Great : playin : getting one of these Amps now

Does attenuation bring it down to .1 of a watt or as you claimed .5? I have tried to find out and it looks like it is 1 tenth of a watt or 0.1.

Great!

Один вопрос - зачем? Зачем травмировать свою психику, когда есть Yamaha thr, Boss katana air, Positive grid spart и etc? Мазохизм? Ок, я вышел из чата....

Cool review Jason, wish more review videos were like this. What mic did you use to record the amp? Sounds great!

This vid is a yr old but the amateur in the bedroom 😂 was great commentary!!............Awesome sounding amp and guitar!!

Great review cobber 🤘🤘Thanks very much. Best one I have seen yet. Och aye!!!

Sounds amazing im sold tks for the video. Amazing playing btw

You have my favourite intro of any KZbin channel 😂

Awesome review and playing. If I could get a metallic orange or copper, especially with the pink model's iridescent pickguards, it would be a no-brainer as it's a very stylish guitar that sounds great. I'm trying to buy no more Chinese guitars and instead buy more Vietnamese guitars like IYV, so that would be great for me. Maybe a Lipstick Red - Hartwood already offers that finish in another model.

Great review, convinced me to buy one. Especially like that you showed us how the 0.1 watt setting sounded like, thanks man!

Vert nice sounding pickups

just bloody play man. 5 mins of chat! 😂

That nasty sound with the bridge pickup sounded great!

I have purchased one of these, great guitar recommend to those who don't want a run of the mill looking guitar, great demo video kind regards Pete

Mon the Bairn's! :)

Aye ye tak tae bloody much 😛 just joking with ya. I’ve got one I’m waiting for now. Should be here Tuesday. I’m also from Scotland. Needed a great tube amp again. No more solid state for me. Ever.

Thanks for this great review and very nice playing! Also I like both guitars, but the Hartwood ... wow. Some cheaper guitars have something special even they aren't playable well. Reminds me on Blood Red Shoe and the Tucson or the german "Hertie Casters". Can't decide wether to choose the 1CR as a bedroom amp (quiter playing at less watts), having the 5CR (should be too loud, have to be run with volume down, but ha a volume/gain for the clean) or going for modeling. But I also like to keep it simple and clean. Well, unfortunately - and you demo it a bit, the clean channel isn't that clean at the start (ok, humbucker) and there won't be a clean volume range. I like the Marshall sound, but also the clean tone. Not sure, how loud you can get in clean channel without much crunch, that part is missing a bit, 'cause you set it to 0.1 watt. Don't know if this combo will fit to me? Thanks in advance.

How long would you say the valves will last with 3-4 hours of daily use at lower to mid volumes? Your amp sounds great and I want one..

I live in a private house and can afford to play loud. Can this amp play really loud through cabinet112?

Yes! Let's do this 💪😍!!! Get to know the secret - p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶

Great to hear my language on a guitar channel mate. Great work you're doing, Cheers from a Glaswegian in Austria.

You seem to enjoy the sounds of the 60’s 70’& 80’ s that’s a good thing , the best years of music , that was my best time in the center of the universe, Muscle Shoals Sound

Great review showing exactly what can be achieved with this amp. Most reviewers just stick to 1 or 2 tones or just shredding which doesn't help much at all.

I bought an amplifier, with the hope that I would finally play on a lamp amp. The first thing I noticed is that on the clean channel, no matter how much I turn it up, the sound is always clean, without crunch. Another thing is, on the ultra gain channel, the sound is harsh, cloudy, and that's at 0.1 w. Great disappointment , and I returned it to the shop.

Great demo

This or a Marshall DSL1CR?

Can i use headphones with the amp?

Thanks for this great demonstration, mate! I own a 2x12 cabinet from Marshall, would you recommend to go for the top head rather than going for the combo?

Good info, nice playing but Jaysus man it's 23 mins 15 secs into the the video before we hear the damn things.
