MARSHALL DSL20H and how it compares to a JCM2000 TSL 100

Get the 40w combo

[@johnn__watkins9905]

if you like thrash or old school death metal its a gem, i have way more expensive amps but i cant stop firing this thing up, for the price you really cant beat it at all, awesome where amps are at right now, you can really get the tones yore after without breaking the bank, its awesome, If i had the choice id keep my small convinient dsl over a real Jcm or jvm any day

[@takitezy7]

8 months later... did you buy the dsl20?

[@leonrosser183]

They r excellent for.metal and 80s rock including cleans my only complaint is there no option for reverb pedalwise just the dial on amp but i feiggin love it . The tone shift works well for.metallica etc ryrhyn i like it tbh . My 20watt is loud enough for pubs and non mic3d drummer easy but if u r in big clubs with double kicks miced on drums go for the dsl100hr

[@jbmahalo]

I finally got my DSL20 , and it’s pretty loud when set at 20Watts. I’m very pleased with my purchased.

[@andrewspade7969]

For some reason Marshall made small changes to mainly the main circuit board on those amps that's some sound better than others, but there's no consistency so you cant pick them by year. The changes mainly cut high frequencies which helped cut the fizz, R13 stock is 100K but some came with 220K, also C18 can be increased to cut more highs, as well as other minor changes.

This is my current amp. It’s weird though that I play mine through a 2X12 cab loaded with a couple cream backs and I can roll back the volume and still have a decent sound. I don’t run a noise gate though. I also use. Kraken pre-amp pedal from Victory amps and run that with the 4 cable method so in the end I have the Marshalls clean and dirty channels and when I engage the Kraken I have those 2 channels, I also hit both with the boss super overdrive waza model. I was looking at a Mesa again but I can’t get away from Marshall. They are the best plug and play amps ever!!

DSL without a master volume? So like a Plexi? Must be loud as F then 😎. You sure man? 🧐😊. Thanks! 🙏

[@markn4526]

I had an early DSL40 that didn't suit me at all. This is when they still used EL84's and some unusual Marshall-branded speaker which made it sound very flat and uninspiring. Now with EL34's and decent speaker they are a lot better. I'm pretty sure all DSL's always had and have a master volume though.

[@paternuin]

True, the former DSL40C didnt have MV but channel volumes. The newer DSL40CR are the best sounding of all DSLs

[@StratsRUs]

Great presentation and charismatic communication. You are totally right about this amp.It does have its place.It is Marshall on a budget.A weird uncooked sound , that needs fleshing out.But the classic sounds can be done via pedals.I don't play as heavy so I'm used to thinking about shaping the sound with this amp. So people should save and buy a proper Marshall.Because great amps 'disappear' as you play.You don't have to think about them when they are great.

I have a JCM2000 DSL100. I love it! I run my ADA MP1 preamp into the FXloop and it sounds killer! When the pre amp is plugged in, the Tone shift and bass boost still work. Combine those with the pre amp and you can create tons of cool tones.😄 Great playing man! I enjoy your channel.

Just stumbled in your channel; great review! The DSL 20 reminds me of a JCM900, which I dig. I have to toy with the “classic” channel, because I think it’ll be a good distortion pedal platform (OD, Rat, HM-2, fuzz, etc).

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@gtrman69777]

I have this amp and yes the classic channel sounds great with a good overdrive pedal. The other channel has more than enough gain by itself. Some people say it's too fizzy sounding but I don't have that problem. I just don't turn the presence or gain past half way and there is no issue. It's a great amp for the money.

I can’t really pick one over the other. The 6505 is more on the 5150 side of things high gain. I have been getting more into Marshall’s since I’ve been watching Euge’s channel I really like the dsl20hr it’s a great amp for the price.

I now know why Euge likes jcm800 so much. 💪I posted a vid of my gear check it out if ya want 😎

You keep putting out constantly great reviews! This sounds like a pretty decent low-wattage amp at a great price. I'm not thrilled with the emulated tone at 14:40 though and judging from your reaction, you aren't either. But at less than half the cost of a Studio...wow! Cheers Euge!

I could see it being used for a more modern sound. Still a great little amp though, just a different animal than the Studio series. As far as the DSL100, Gary Holt used them in SLAYER. I saw them 3 times with Gary, the last time on their farewell tour and the live sound of the DSL100 was brutal. Great video and playing as always 🤘🤘👍👍

From the sound I hear in your video, is it that the treble is low, or does the Emulated Out sound a bit muffled? Is the sound you're getting at 15:53 (Ultra gain channel #4 section) coming from the Emulated Output? Great playing by the way!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah it’s really muffled like, in my experience, usually on all amps which have this feature. I don’t know why eveyone puts this really dark & muffled sounding IR in there and why they don’t use something that actually sounds good right out of the box? But like I said it could be eq’d in the post to be usable but I’d actually prefer just a direct out and then you could use an IR that you like and sounds good right out of the box like the Jens Bogren IRs I use 😎👌. It’s the Suhr Reactive Load with the Bogren IR. I believe I mention that in the video? 😊

Just curious, if I love the John Sykes and general 80's metal sound, what would you characterize as the primary difference between the Super Overdrive and Tube Screamer? Especially used in the context of 80's rock and thrash metal

[@EugeValovirta230V]

SD-1 is tighter, more aggressive & open with a bit less mid hump to my ears. TS is symmetrical clipping and SD-1 asymmetrical which makes it also a bit different 😎.

Hello Euge, For your opinion: You take a Marshall Dsl20h or Peavey 6505 mh?? Kiitos vastauksestanne

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Hi Sim, Both would get the job done so depends what kind of job I’d need them to do. For a Marshall tone I’d choose Marshall and for a Peavey tone I’d choose Peavey 😎.

[@saintrhoads3375]

I was really disappointed in the classic gain channel. I bought the amp for that plexi/800 sound that I'd never had before. The amp convinced me that I didn't like those amps for a while. Now I know better.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah I was quite disappointed to the classic channel ’cos it wasn’t even close to Plexi or 800.

[@saintrhoads3375]

@@EugeValovirta230V I have the 40watt cr and its basically the same as here. You can crank the gain on the green and red and nothing happens. Its just a very pushed clean really. Even at stage volumes.

[@timeshock1255]

Very good video once again. I'm having a DSL20H and the DSL1HR and they are both fine. I prefer the DSL20 probably as it has a bit body and also the DSL1 lacks the resonance and presence the DSL20 has. However, it's true the voicing is slightly different to the first JCM2000s. The DSLs are fine and very similar but have a bit of a different tone and feel than the JCM2000s. However, both are fine though and everyone has a different taste, of course. I like pretty much all Marshalls and have worked with a lot of different ones over the years. Have a nice week, buddy.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah the UK made JCM2000 DSL is quite a bit better than these new ones. But a Marshall is always a Marshall and it’s really hard to sound bad with one. At least in my experience 😎.

So the sound we are hearing is coming out of the studio monitors?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

No since you’re obviously not in my studio with me in person 😁. I’m recording the guitars to Cubase (I use the monitors to hear what I’m recording - like what & how you do in a recording studio) and then I edit the camera footage (video and my voice) & audio recorded to Cubase (guitars, drums etc. ) together in Final Cut 👌. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOxXnp7n999jM0

Amazing demo! The intro jam reminds me of Zakk and Sykes. My settings for ultra channel to get a hard rock tone like VH1 are: Treble: 6 Middle: 10 Bass: 0.5-1 Presence: 10 Resonance: 0. Resonance pot is highly unusable in my case, couldn't get a nice sound, always flubs it out the low end. I'm using Celestion G12H anniversary

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool, thanks!

[@willman100]

Killer playing. Your 800 sounds the best but seems like the DSL is good on a budget. Then again, maybe buying a used 20 watt 800 would be the way to go. I might look into it. I also like your videos on the 50 watt 5150’s. my favourite was the el34’s. it sounded kinda like a modded 800 which is the best tone since I grew up in the 80’s.

[@MartinKirbits]

Greetings from Estonia. Thinking about a 20w marshall head but since no store i know of stores them here, videos like these will have to do. In your opinion how does the dsl hold up against the silver jubilee for example? Is the dsl a "proper" marhsall or should i man up and pay what good tone is worth?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cheers! I think the DSL is a proper budget Marshall but the Studio Series’ are really good by any standards 👌.

[@portuguesebeer5069]

@@EugeValovirta230V I love the JCM too, but i think i prefer the Silver Jub, because has more gain and i think its more versatile having a footswitchable clean channell. Do you agree the Silver Jub is more suitable for thrash metal? Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Silver Jube is great too. It’s based on the JCM800 2203 with a bit more precise tone stack / EQ section, more gain and a footswitchable clean channel. I don’t judge amps like ”this is good for trash, this is good for this etc.”. A good amp is a good amp and the rest (=most) is up to the player = Play power chords with a heavy hand, play bluesier stuff etc. and the amp will amplify that.

I believe the G12 Vintage is the og V30 that Celestion made for Marshall. After it fot really popular they started to sell them as ”standalone”. But just try them both and choose the one you like the most. Simple as that 😎.

Where does the silver jubilee fit in with all these JCM 800 sounds? You have the Wylde & Sykes tone locked down with the pushed 800 but didn’t RRoades use silver jubilees? Thx

[@EugeValovirta230V]

It’s based on a JCM800 but has two channels and IMO isn’t as aggressive as 800s. Randy used Plexis. He died in 1982 and Silver Jubilee was released in 1987.

[@troyjensen2682]

@@EugeValovirta230V Thank you for that time line correction! Don't know where I got the IDEA Randy was using silver Jubilee series? Are any 2 channel JCM 800 worth the $$$ Or just go with TS or DS series to get a little more versatility?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

You’re welcome 😎. The two channel 800 has a clipping diode (for more gain) like a Silver Jube but with Jube you can switch it on or off and I prefer it off since it compress the sound a bit too much IMO. I owned the two channel 800 back in the day but I like the original one channel 2203 a lot more.

2203 is the 100 watt JCM800 and Studio Classic is the 20 watt JCM800 so obviously more is more 😎. DSL is a budget amp and ok for it’s price but can’t really compare it to UK made amps.

It depends what you want / need. 800 is more classic sound with not much distortion and DSL is more modern sounding with lots of distortion. I can’t say which one is better but personally I prefer 800s 😎.
