Just got one a week ago and love it paired with a TS9 and MXR EQ. Quiet enough for bedroom practice or probably loud enough for use in a band. 20 watts is loud.

[@shredaintdead9323]

Dude it's loud enough for a full band on 10w mode haha

I use a dsl20 cranked into an isolation box with a 57 in it. I was a JMP 100w guy and was scared to spend the money on it, but I have been happy with it. 2 EL34s!

[@oldguyjammin9732]

I’ve gone through dozens of amps and have to say the DSL is a REALLY great amp and covers a lot of ground tone-wise. I put a 12AY7 in V1 to bring out more of the crunch character and play it through a G12M and Eminence DV-77. Hit it with a Mesa Flux Drive for balls and an OCD for searing leads. Nice playing dude!

[@shredaintdead9323]

Thanks dude! And I totally agree. The dsl20 covers so many tones and is super versatile. Killer amp for a great price!

[@davidstafford1071]

I just bought one used but pristine and I love it. I had a Studio Classic JCM800 and just didn't gel with it, sold it on. The build quality on my DSL is far better than the Made in UK Classic.

[@shredaintdead9323]

Much cheaper too! Dsl20 is one of the best amps for the lowest price out there!

[@philgraves4998]

Great tone! At 0:40 best Jim Breuer doing Joe Pesci impression ever!

[@shredaintdead9323]

Thanks and hahaha sure is!

[@Lluc06]

TLDR: The DSL20HR at full blast equals the loudness of the top of the line DSL100H played at 4 which is ear shattering and too much for any real world application. People think amplifier power is linear and proportional and it's not. A full size 100w amplifier is not double as loud as a 50 watter, it's more like 35% louder. Given the same amplifier line, using the same speakers cabinet, by doubling the wattage you only get 3dB louder, every 10dB difference is double the loudness.

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Great amp indeed one of my favorites. So versatile and takes pedals well.

[@shredaintdead9323]

It's really is crazy versatile and takes pedals amazing too! Thanks for the comment and sub!

[@countzero5150]

I picked one up last year for something to play late at night without annoying the neighbors. I was first surprised by how big the dsl20hr sounds for being a 20 watt amp. And I don't mean loud, I mean it has a lot of depth, it SOUNDS big. I've cycled through a lot of smaller tube amps and usually I end up being dissatisfied with them and selling them after a month or two. So far I've been very happy with the dsl20hr and while I would like to try a peavey 6505mh I don't think I'll ever sell it. I run mine into a 1x12 cab with an eminence governor and I've changed the preamp tubes to tung sol 12ax7's and the power tubes to jj 6ca7's.

[@shredaintdead9323]

Definitely a HUGE sounding amp. It's An incredible amp for the money

[@Marshall_EL34]

Got my DSL20HR in 2019. On the green channel I keep it on the edge of breakup ...and use a Suhr Shiba od or Riot distortion. On the Red channel I use a Maxon OD808 for fat mid od or ...a boss od1 for a brighter flatter chewier response and finally a catalinbread Nagaviper treble booster (dallas rangemaster treble booster) for the Judas Priest screaming leads. Love it ...

[@BrunoidGames]

I just got one.. this amp is perfect for me, the 80's tone is there. I use a Proco Rat (LM308) in front and a DM2W delay in FX Loop. You can't go wrong with Predator, best movie ever. That's the spirit \m/

[@shredaintdead9323]

Yep yep and yep!

[@johankrausse9026]

Awesome video. Agree...its perfect for 80's hard rock and thrash metal or basically any form of Rock or metal. I use a Boss EQ pedal with mine and I can get any tone I want. Best amp at this price point by a country mile.

[@shredaintdead9323]

Thanks a lot! I actually have a video comparing the 2 if you wanna hear the side by side. But my personal thoughts are the dsl20 is a much more versatile for everything 80s, but the clean channel is basically useless. Needs a boost too. It's much fuller sounding though. The evh has a better clean, doesn't need a boost and a smaller, tighter and much more aggressive and clearer sound.

IS that running through the ENGL Cab also what was the other pedal on the side silver one great demo

[@shredaintdead9323]

Yep that's running into the Engl cab. The other pedal was the overdrive if I remember right. And thanks!

[@saintrhoads3375]

Settings? What kind of overdrive is that?

[@shredaintdead9323]

I'm doing a follow up video on all my settings. Xotic bb preamp overdrive. Gain at 8 o'clock bass at 1 treble at 11 and volume at noon on od

@@shredaintdead9323 alright, ill be sure to tune in next time

[@shredaintdead9323]

New video up with my settings!

[@SplinteredCompany]

Mine just sounds far far to fizzy with gain on, so I just resort to using it for cleans. Very dissapointed.

[@shredaintdead9323]

Maybe you have bad tubes or somethings wrong with the amp? I don't have any fizz going on at all.

[@musik4life24]

Same Problem hete. Did you fix it?

[@SplinteredCompany]

@@shredaintdead9323 I've had a couple of other guitarists play with and and they say it's fine. Bit of a bugger.

[@SplinteredCompany]

@@musik4life24 no, I didn't. 😪

[@musik4life24]

@@SplinteredCompany now i ran pefals into it and fixed it. People who say that it sounds good at low volume i cant understand

[@paisteplayer1040]

The dsl20 aint bad,,,, its far better than the dsl15.. for the money I prefer the PRS MT15.

[@shredaintdead9323]

I tried the mt15 and was pretty underwhelmed. It's cool, but prefer this and my engl fireball 25

RATT!!! nice intro to 80s!!

[@shredaintdead9323]

Thanks! I definitely thought so!

[@GREATVAYRA]

Modern stuff like Metallica and Megadeth💀💀

[@heut4384]

I don't know why people would want to add a Overdrive pedal when the GAIN channels already sound heavy. I liked your examples until you added the overdrive. lol.

[@shredaintdead9323]

It's not to add gain, it's to tighten up the low end and add a bit of mids. I get what you're saying, but it's really more of a feel thing, especially for leads which is what I mainly use overdrive for. Makes leads sing more.

[@derekmiller1240]

Full of malarky for sure 😅

[@shredaintdead9323]

You know it!

[@masternippleblaster]

Just one question if you don't mind... I know it has been quite a while since you demoed this amp but how usable is its FX loop? I have quite a range of mod pedals I would like to run through the loop and people are not very specific about that part of this amp... Any thoughts? Thank you bruv, really appreciate your insight and demo!

[@shredaintdead9323]

This is the only 20w marshall I've played that actually has a modern useable fx loop. Works fantastic. I had a noise gate, delay and reverb all in the fx loop for this entire demo.
