Loving This Marshall DSL20HR - 20 Watt Head Amplifier - Walkthrough/Demo

[@ashthegreat1]

I don’t understand all the negative comments. This was a good tonal review.... I got a lot from it.

[@landonbailey]

hey thanks! ya there's just a lot of negative people out there. I don't demonstrate my lack of guitar skill, I try to show how the amp sounds to the average basement player :)

[@masterofthetelecaster]

Well ... its pretty obvious.. either u see it or you cant see it.

[@Singlehand_Music]

Cool review, man! I believe that the cable at 3:13 is actually a speaker cable (to connect the head to a speaker cab; do not use an instrument cable for that).

[@landonbailey]

you're right, that's what it is. I have a note in the description now. It's not labeled at all. thanks for checking out the video!

[@castleanthrax1833]

@@landonbailey Yeah, the speaker cable that I have says "speaker" in nice gold letters on the jacks. I assumed they all did. Apparently not.

[@boxcarstewart311]

I never went after the Marshall sound. But between yours and Shanes demos, Im a fan of this amp!

[@landonbailey]

ya it's really fun to play with!

[@jords5721]

Really good review! Thank you for very clearly explaining everything and spending a good amount of time on each tone too. Thank you for actually playing a clean tone too as I’ve been searching for a review like this for ages.

[@landonbailey]

hey thanks for the feedback! glad it helped :)

[@JosephCee]

Marshall is an amazing company, the gain and sound quality you get here is more than those gimmicky heavy metal based amps you get from other brands.

[@landonbailey]

Ya they are pretty cool. Great value amp. Check out some more tones I got with the amp in this video: Just Play Guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJKqppqdZZWWgdk

[@stevendurantini7182]

Nice job showing the sounds of the amp. It was my first Marshall as well, I've always been a Boogie guy. I liked this so much I just ordered the 100W version.

[@landonbailey]

very cool! the 100 watt should have some features the 20 doesn't have 👍😁

[@paulmales1889]

Best unboxing video I've ever seen , love the lava lamp and the amp doesn't sound too shabby either .

[@landonbailey]

Paul Males ha thanks. ya tried to make the unboxing as quick as possible but still show whats inside

[@JohnIainMcFarlanewaspfactor]

I just got one,coupled it with a Code212,it blows the walls out without annoying the neighbours.Shout out to my awesome,patient neighbours.They are great!

[@landonbailey]

nice!

[@StratsRUs]

I've had mine three years now.And I love it more and more.It is not in the league of Made In England Marshalls.But the great value is paramount here. It has a very versatile range.Whether straight in or via pedals. I have 50 W English Marshalls and they sound phenomenal but break yr back.

[@landonbailey]

cool thanks for sharing

[@MarcoMc87]

Hey, sounds you love it! Do you feel it cheap? Should you use it as a main amp for gigs and concerts ? Thanks

[@StratsRUs]

@@MarcoMc87 Yeah.But I use my other Marshalls for playing out.Even so, it is a great VALUE amp.I practice with an attenuator.The DSL 40 CR is the next step up and more popular for gigs.It has better reviews and more people fall in Love with it.So if I were you I'd buy that instead because it has more going for it.

[@Vimps69.]

This is the video that helped me choose this amp; thank you Lando, I love my Marshall DSL20HR!

[@landonbailey]

cool!

[@intheblues]

Great video dude! Sounds great! :-)

[@landonbailey]

it really came across in the MIC'd recordings. And the Texas Heat speaker is perfect for it!

[@intheblues]

You're lucky you didn't get the combo it's loaded with a 70/80 speaker! 😝

[@landonbailey]

+intheblues I was wondering if they were any good. glad I waited and stuck with the Texas Heat

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

Can you use this amp without a Cabinet? I'm really looking into saving up for it.

[@landonbailey]

The Jagged Ones you can plug in headphones

[@GR00VYGH0ULIE]

Totally RAD demo video Landon! I've never been a Marshall dude but hearing the cleans & Tele totally changed my mind about what I thought Marshalls sounded like! SWERT!!!!!!!

[@landonbailey]

pretty cool eh!

[@GR00VYGH0ULIE]

I think I'm going to try one next time I'm at Long & McQuack!!

[@dennismarshall1687]

Great review - bought this amp and am loving it so far.

💯💯💯💯💯 Best DSL 20 HR KZbin review in my opinion. Thank you !!!!!

[@haveguitar]

Good runthrough of the amp, think it shines when it comes to the higher gain sounds. Thanks for the video!

[@landonbailey]

ya the Ultra gain channel is awesome! I use it all the time

[@GeorgeHeil-ch3ro]

Thanks for a good overview of that amplifier head. Sounds really good.

[@landonbailey]

great amp! thanks

[@too4flynchen]

That clean tone with the tele sounds great!! The tone shift seems to scoop the mids...giving a more modern metal feel. Thanks for GASing me once again. Dammit.

[@landonbailey]

joey clement Gastronomical. This could metal for sure

[@tannerboil6765]

Great amp! Had mine for about 4 months now and I prefer it over my older Marshall DSL 50w head and MesaBoogie mk5 35.

[@davidallen346]

That amp sound awesome I want it, seem like any guitar you plug into it immediately sounds good.

[@landonbailey]

ya the dsl series this year is great. I know a few people that love the 40 watt combo amp too

[@Jaysteenn]

Good video man. Great camera work too on some of your shots. I like how u spun the amp and the close ups on the amp were cool. I thought your Tele was sounding awsome too!

[@landonbailey]

+J Steen hey thanks!

[@TheEthug]

That some Mesa boogie sounding high gain, from marshall crunch on clean to heavy heavy gain, that things is sick, i think i am getting my first Marshall now also. Yeah the tone shift is great with heaps of gain. and two volumes for each channel is a great idea. SOLD.

[@landonbailey]

I recommend it!

[@SugarMapleForge]

Waiting on my 112 cab to show up so I can finally play my dsl20hr 😂 should be here in a couple hours. Good demo!

[@michaelveach2408]

Hello there. Great demo, thank you. This amp keeps tempting me. I am also a rhythm guitar player. Lead never attracted me much. There is nothing wrong with your playing, sounds great.

[@landonbailey]

Hey appreciate it! Not everyone can be lead, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Glad you agree :)

[@p001ismLiveGamerGaming]

I literally ordered this off of sweetwater.com like a month ago with a MX212AR Cabnet and I am just waiting for it to arrive sometime soon. So now I know how it sounds.

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Hi. Did you got that stack already? Whats your oppinion about? Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹🎄

[@HauntedGuitarMan]

Cool vid. I've made up my mind after this. Was wandering if it got old school opeth tones. That one riff you played sounded alot like the tone I crave. Will be my first marshall too.

[@landonbailey]

nice! won't break the bank either. still loving mine 👍🎸😁

[@buckshotjenkins]

Also posted in the MAX VOLUME video, but I'll put it here too. Any answers are appreciated! Great video(s). Anyone...with the gain low and the volume high as needed on the Classic channel (hoping for as clean and loud as possible on the Classic channel...while understanding that there's a limit), can this amp stay clean loud enough to play live? Figuring using it with an efficient 1x12 or a 2x12, but want the head and not the DSL40CR combo. Thanks!

[@stonehouseguitars3869]

It’s a good demonstration, thanks. Pretty embarrassing that you don’t know what a speaker cable is though. I would have expected more than power chords and sloppy playing with 16k views too but I guess the main reason for watching is the map and you covered that pretty well. Keep playing

[@landonbailey]

ya I like to keep in the embarrassing stuff. I'm just an average guitar player playing my gear. thanks for watching

[@elizawojciechowska6641]

yeah, i still can't get it why average players like Lando get to reviewing gear. it's just a waste of time.

[@theslayerofgoblins849]

@@elizawojciechowska6641 because its honest and let's average players know what they may or may not sound like.Not everyone is a virtuoso.

Well, perhaps you can do demo of this amp and show us some above average playing, I think that’s what we should expect from genius like you, stay humble brother not everyone is at your level.

[@petehixson9046]

Good job man, been looking at these, and that blue burst Epi Les Paul is stunning.

[@landonbailey]

hey cool! and ya that's what sold me on the guitar. looks even better in natural light

Welcome to the DSL club! Once you go Marshall, it's hard to go back.

[@landonbailey]

yes, I can see why now!

[@eliasvlogsanything9606]

Im already in

[@Kreepcamp]

I'm the same way with my little blackstar ht20 :P but I still got a mesa dual,vypyr 120 head,marshall lead 12 and a marshall dsl20

[@simeonclark2856]

SirVicconius I totally agree. I was going to buy the dsl 20cr but I bought the dsl 40cr because of the twin master volumes. I run it on the 20w mode for garage jamming and the 40 w setting for rehearsal rooms . ❤️❤️🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Been looking for a new amp and could not make up my mind. This may have just pushed me over the edge..👍🇦🇺

[@crsantin]

This is a good amp. All the tones you need for rock and hard rock. The clean is ok. It’s nice pushed. I’m not crazy about the reverb. The tone shift is simply a mid scoop and I don’t like it on the ultra channel. Nice affordable rock amp though.

[@landonbailey]

Rock on!

[@vvtli808]

I’d been drinking so at 16:15 I’m like “SPEAK BRO’!” I was noticing the Lava lamp. Being from Hawaii, I always wondered why it was called that because we have two types of Lava. Aa and Pahoehoe. A third type, pillow Lava occurs during under water eruptions. The lamp does not emulate any of those. I always wanted a stack with a head amp but I don’t have the space. This demo makes me want to make some space for one - thanks for another great demo! It helps that you play the same chords throughout so that I can hear the differences. I have a G&L ASAT Deluxe so I also have a “country guitar” that has HB’s. Cool, Lando. Mahalo!

[@landonbailey]

ya I had been drinking the lava lamp or something at that point lol. my brain melted. thanks for checking it out!

[@dopeyjake]

Sound

[@chrisdann7297]

Great review. I have this amp on my wish list! Thank you!

[@landonbailey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@revelationtune]

Why most of the amp bloggers they are not considering the cabinet speaker (max watts) they are using for every head amp they are introducing in their blog. FYI amp head + cabinet proper match up is very important to us, so we know exactly the correct type of cabinet speaker max wattage for every amp head model.

[@landonbailey]

I don't know why most don't. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZWbZKmYf6uirbc

[@josephdimalante7023]

Good video I just picked one up on Ebay for $379 I would have like to have heard it with a single coil guitar I play Strats and Teles 95% of the time but thanks for this video.

[@landonbailey]

great deal! here's a Tele into the amp kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH-yZn1tfd-CgMk

[@uwetittmann1423]

Great Thing, however in a live concert situation, you need a Power Amp, therefore I play here the Marshall 410H Amp, just wonderful!

[@PainterDans]

You got some good tones out of that thing, not bad

[@NickintheStates]

I’ve been looking forward to this! That thing rips. I actually love the cleans with the tele too. The gains are killer though. Sold! Great video man, thanks! If you could demo the simulated out sometime I’m really intrigued.

[@dbvetter7485]

Nice Epiphone Les Paul. The cable you called an instrument cable is actually not, it is the “unshielded” head to cabinet cable. The instructions strictly say don’t use a shield “guitar” or instrument cable. Not sure why but maybe something to do with impedance ??? I’m sure I’ve use a guitar cable before on mine.

[@NomadRonin]

My next amp!

[@landonbailey]

nice! I use it in all my videos now

[@Skinny_Karlos]

Good video and the reason that you've never got "that tone before" is that you've never had a Marshall before. el34/84's etc in the power amp is a big part of making the U.S and U.K sound such different animals. Not a trolly, jerky comment but if you're not taking one on one lessons - do it now, seriously. You'll really improve so much quicker.

[@landonbailey]

hey ya exactly never had a Marshall before. thanks for the advice about lessons. I'm not a lead player, check out my original songs to see what I can do.

[@Skinny_Karlos]

Yeah, first timer so I will do. :-)

[@landonbailey]

cool take care!

[@tonedriverss8629]

Congrats on the cool new Marshall DSL 20 ! Marshalls are addictive , and I really dig their cleans esp on the DSL's . I've had a few JCM2000 100 and 50 watter DSL's ( the older made in England ones ) ... those are great amps . Very good review of the amp here , Landon . Much appreciated . Nice to learn you are just up the road in Ottawa Ont . so we're pretty close neighbors . Again , I really enjoy your humor ! Makes your vids fun to watch , as well as being very interesting and informative . Now do it like Johan Segeborn does it .... cranked to 11 into a 4x12 cab ! LOL :) Good stuff , bro ! ... Ha ha hillarious ... just saw the end of the vid with that magic tube heater lamp ..... LMAO . Great stuff , bro ! Everyone should have that for mega-gain ! Most Excellent :)

[@landonbailey]

which JVM do you have?

[@thelolguy007]

lando27music I have the 410c mate. 100 watt combo. It’s a killer amp - very versatile with some great usable sounds. But you never get to turn it up in a house/bedroom setting etc. Was thinking about getting an attenuator

[@landonbailey]

ah cool! ya having the 10 watt option on this is a great feature

[@thelolguy007]

I am surprised how good that Tele sounded on it. There were a couple times it sounded a bit noisy, but overall impressed. I think I may have to pick up that head now. I want something that handles gain well to get 80s hair metal tones. Debating on this, the Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister deluxe 20, and eVH 5150 LBXII

[@gtrman69777]

What amp did you wind up getting? I'm also trying to decide between this and a Hughes and Ketter.

[@Doug5524]

the head sounds great and it relly helps to have it going through a good speaker in the combo its a 10" speaker 70/80 hopfully they when the make cabs for these hopfully you will have a chose of a V12

Awesome stuff and new subscriber here … cheers 🍻

[@lukepaich1886]

Hi! It's a great sounding Marshall. Do you get the hiss when all pots are on zero? I got a second one and its considerably humming with all controls on zero whatever the guitar is plugged or not. By the way cool videos! Cheers!

[@landonbailey]

hey there! no I don't have the hiss at all. great amp. take care!

[@uwetittmann1423]

20 Watts are good for home, maybe Band room, however not enough for big stage. However sound is great.

[@landonbailey]

ya really depends on the setup and location. also your band size

[@shlebmo]

I don't really get the comments about the volume. Maybe y'all play metal. Me I've logged plenty of time gigging and I've grown tired of lugging a heavy amp that I never cut up half way. I play blues and rock. This is plenty loud enough for bands that want to hear you

[@jausabowser]

hey lando, thanks your walkthrough was very helpful!. however 20 watt sounds a bit low, is it good enough for live shows or just studiowork?

[@landonbailey]

Hey thanks! It would be good enough for small shows for sure.

[@jausabowser]

Hi great video, this might sound like a stupid question cos im not very well versed in the amplification side of guitar... does this require a cabinet to play or will i be able to play out of the head/ can i plug into a combo? thanks!

[@landonbailey]

Abbey Road! yes it requires a cabinet that accepts the proper ohms. It won't plug into a combo amp unless that combo has a speaker line in. (I haven't seen one)

Hello Lando, Marco from Rome here, thanks for your videos as alway, but I have a question: can I consider this amp as a main amps for gigs, does it feel cheap, I’m worried that can leave me on foot 🤣 thanks again

[@landonbailey]

I'd say it depends on the cabinet and how loud your band plays. cheers

[@mokhan8832]

It sounds great man, and do you think I could get a Zakk Wylde tone with this?

if not with the amp alone, then with a pedal added too

[@jessetate9701]

Mo Khan yes how dare u ask something like that lol 😝 jk but yes Marshall tube amps just get yourself a boss sd-1 then u will be zakk tone

[@guitagious9464]

Great tones you're getting out of this awesome little amp, Lando. Can't wait to replace my DSL-100 with one of these for practices that won't kill our ears anymore! Was going to get the 1-watt DSL but, after listening to this, I think I should go with the 20-watt. If it has enough volume at practice, then I'll just mic it up when we play out. Our sound guy will LOVE it!!! (He will appreciate having some headroom to work with.)

[@williamolsen20]

sounds great man, I am now contemplating getting one. I am not a metal guy, but I do like some metal, and I would like that option with a small amp. My AC15 that i love won't do that.

+William Olsen cool. I'm more into classic rock and not metal myself. this will do both

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

marshal amps are absolutely not metal only,they've been around the block and back 50 times. remember zepplin,yardbirds,clapton cream,hendrix all used marshalls my friend,im thinking you may need to brush up on your rock n roll history a little bit.

[@williamolsen20]

I would agree and I fully realize the history of Marshall, I was just saying that you can get a metal sound out of this particular amp, and it is also a low wattage amp that I can use at home. I do not believe that I even made a broad statement about Marshall stating it was a metal amp. I really do not understand how you could have gotten that out of my previous post other. How many guitar players do you know that do not know that Hendrix and Clapton played Marshall's. I really do not like to do this on the internet, but did you make this statement so you could insult me, not cool man.

[@jakesmith4506]

can you do a gig with this amp? I have the DSL 15c and it's worthless as far as doing a gig is concerned.

[@landonbailey]

I would say it depends on the speaker(s) it's being fed into and how loud the band is. In most cases it should be fine.

[@JosephCee]

you think 5 watts more is going to be much better?...if youre going to gig why even look at a 20 watt amp? get the 100.

Nice amp, I’m actually in the market looking for the right Marshall myself. I’m a little hazy on what wattage I should go with though and with Covid I can’t really go hang in an amp shop. That 20 watt seems like it’ll melt your face in a small room but how do you think it would be in a larger room or outdoor even? Thanks in advance 😣

[@NoStringsAttached777]

I had thought this amp was a smaller size like the Peavey Classic 20MH and it sure looks smaller in your video but I read that it is 19.6" or nearly 500mm wide which makes it a standard head size. Can you please confirm the width of your amp?

Hey Lando, I'm thinking about getting the dsl20. Is like to get a orange 212 but can't afford it. Would an Orange 112 be enough? Thanks .

[@landonbailey]

I don’t know the Orange amps at all. Sorry!

[@anonanon5791]

@@landonbailey thanks anyway!

[@edhaxel9583]

I own all of these.

[@landonbailey]

then how did I get mine? 😝

[@Hasssprechbeauftragter]

It’s the amp good to play at home in a flat. I need a amp, that’s sounds good quit

[@philipcarollo7721]

Instrument cable, or speaker cable?

[@landonbailey]

ya speaker cable. brain fart when I was recording that video

[@73prd]

Is this loud enough through a 412 for a 3 piece punk band for rehearsal or live without micing

[@landonbailey]

I've never tried that config, but I would say very likely yes

[@73prd]

@@landonbailey ok thankyou

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

Great amp

[@landonbailey]

+Wade Wilson it's awesome for sure!

[@Nitka027]

Great amp! What would you choose for blues? Peavey classic or DSL? And have you tried headphones on both of these amps?

[@landonbailey]

ya it's great. I think the Peavey Classic is more aimed towards blues. I got the DSL for 70's classic rock stuff. I haven't tried the headphones in either, but on the DSL I did capture some emulated out. I didn't like it

[@George_K.]

Links don't work :(

[@landonbailey]

+George K. hey there which links?

[@Nitka027]

Is there anyż chance that you could try the headphones out? Mostly in peavey. I can't find it in store to try myself, and that is one of the most important features for me...

[@landonbailey]

+Nitka027 you mean try some headphones on and tell how it sounds to me?

[@XanderYTV]

Can I play this amp at very low volumes? I live in an apartment and people lose their mind if I turn my 100w 1x12 solid state past 2 on the master volume. Would I have to use the 'emulated speaker out' into my monitors to play at lower volumes?

[@XanderYTV]

Like I'm talking just barely louder than the acoustic sound of my electric

[@landonbailey]

hey there, I wouldn't recommend it for apartment use. It's better turned up

[@johnl5585]

You could use headphones on this head, or low output. There's also the Mesa Boogie CabClone, but this head basically has the same options for outputting without a speaker cabinet, albeit with different connections.

[@johne1599]

All the gain you've been playing with is from the preamp section. I suggest you back the gain knobs down and your guitar's volume knob down, then turn the volume knobs all the way up on the amp. Now work the volume knob on the guitar and see how the amp responds. You should be able to go from clean to dirty using only the guitar's volume knob. Want more or less dirt when you crank up the guitar? Use the amp's Gain knobs to fine tune your dirty sound. Remember, the knobs on the amp are passive, meaning they only turn the wide open amp's sound down. They subtract from that, but never can add more. Bass, treble, mid, volume, gain only can be removed, but never added from the amp's wide open design. The Presence and Resonance shape the power amp section, and arguably add or detract, but they again are merely passive controls. Presence and Resonance settings can greatly affect how and when an amp feeds back or not, gets dirty or stays clean at higher volumes... shaping the output, in other words. Hope that helps more than confuses.

[@landonbailey]

I absolutely take all recommendations (and criticism) openly as a learning experience :) thanks for the tips! I typically keep the volume knob on the guitar max, but I love trying new things! take care! :)

[@johne1599]

Lando27Music The point was to experience gain created from driving the power tubes hard, a la SRV, EVH, Jimmy Page, etc. A much ballsier sound from the big power tubes and transformer than the small preamp tubes and preamp circuit.

[@AudreyYun]

Do you think this and 1x12 is too much for apartment level playing or would it be ok with the volume controls?

[@landonbailey]

ya it would be way too much. Even at 10 watt it's really loud and better turned up 🙂

[@AudreyYun]

hmmm i really wanted it or even the 40 but i was worried about that.... maybe the dsl5 then?

[@landonbailey]

ya I'd look at the 1 or 5 watt for apartment. unless your neighbors don't care. 🎸😁🎶🎵

[@josipbalic3403]

Can you plug earphones and play it?Will it demage the amp or earphones?

[@landonbailey]

hey there it has a line out that is made for playing with headphones. shouldn't cause any damage
